Acetogenin analogs in which the bis-adjacent THF ring was replaced with an enantioselectively synthesized 1,2-cyclo-pentanediol bis-ether skeleton were synthesized to obtain simplified mimics, and their inhibitory effect on mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) was examined. The results clearly demonstrate that the 1,2-cyclopentanediol bis-ether motif can substitute for the bis-THF ring while maintaining very potent inhibitory activity at the nanomolar level.
