The first total syntheses of the title compounds highlight novel assemblies of the C1-C14 and C28-C38 domains, including an unexpected diastereoselectivity in the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of an alkene at C1iC2. PPase inhibition assays revealed that 2-epi-DTX-2 is at least 1 to 2 orders of magnitude less potent than DTX-2, thus indicating that the configuration at C2 in DTX-2 is crucial for potent inhibition (see picture).
