(-)-Renieramycin G, a marine antitumor natural product, is a typical member of the bis-tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid family. In this paper, an efficient protocol of asymmetric total synthesis of its three stereoisomers, (+)-renieramycin G, 11,13-epi-(+)-renieramycin G and 11,13-epi-(-)-renieramycin G was established by the use of a combination of l- and/or d-tyrosine as the starting materials. The preliminary cytotoxicity assays tested on human cancer cell lines revealed that the L-shaped topological configuration of (-)-renieramycin G played a critical role in its cytotoxic activity.
