摘要:
Synthetic agrimol B and derivatives thereof ( "compounds" ) that have anticancer properties are disclosed. Methods for synthesizing the compounds with an overall yield ≥ 7% are disclosed. Pharmaceutical formulations in forms suitable for the delivery of the compounds to a subject in need thereof are disclosed. Methods of using the compounds for treating a cancer, reducing a cancer, or treating or ameliorating one or more symptoms associated with a cancer, such as non-small-cell lung cancer, in a subject are also disclosed.
