10-Methyl-Aplog-1 (1), a simplified analog of tumor-promoting debromoaplysiatoxin (DAT), is a potential anti-cancer lead because, unlike DAT, 1 is not tumor-promoting or proinflammatory. However, its synthesis required 23 linear steps with an overall yield of 1.1%. To develop a more synthetically accessible compound, we designed a new analog (2) whose carbon atom at position 4 was replaced with an oxygen atom. Simultaneous construction of the spiroketal at position 7, the acetal at position 3, and the macrolactone ring enabled us to reduce the synthetic steps to produce 2 and its 3-epimer (16) in 18 linear steps with overall yields of 0.30 and 0.67% respectively. Although both analogs retained anti-proliferative activity, it was weaker than that of 1.
