Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel cryptophycin analogs with modification in the β-alanine region
摘要:
Structure modification of the beta-alanine region (fragment C) of the potent antimitotic agent cryptophycin was investigated. This includes: (1) introduction of substituents at the previously unsubstituted C7 position of the macrolide ring and (:2) replacement of the (2R)-3-amino-2-methyl-propanoic acid (beta-alanine) with various (1)-amino acids to give the corresponding 15-membered unnatural cryptophycin analogs.

The invention provides novel cryptophycin compounds which can be useful for disrupting the microtubulin system, as antineoplastic agents, antifungal, and for the treatment of cancer. The invention further provides a formulation for administering the novel cryptophycin compounds.
