The aza analogue of the cyclic heptadepsipeptide HUN-7293 (1), which is a potent naturally occurring inhibitor of inducible cell adhesion molecule expression, and its C-2(3) (MLEU3 C-2) epimer were prepared via solution-phase synthesis. Biological evaluations of these two compounds as inhibitors of cell adhesion molecules expression are detailed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
