(4S, 5S, 8S, 9S)- and (4R, 5S, 8S, 9S)-9-hydroxy-5,8-epoxy-henicosabutanolides 3b and 4b, respectively, have been successfully synthesized from very inexpensive L-glutamic acid. The key step of the synthetic sequence is an alkylation of lactol acetates 5a,b with 2-(trimethylsilyloxy)-furan. Stereochemical relationship assignment of the obtained products were deduced from NMR data, and by chemical correlation.
Study of the structure-activity relationships of the acetogenin of annonaceae, muricatacin and analogues

A study of the structure-cytotoxic activity of the acetogenin of Annonaceae, muricatacin 1, is reported. indeed, muricatacin 1 has shown promising antitumoral activity. Therefore several 5-hydroxy-4-alkcanolides were prepared and then tested against KB and VERO cell lines. A few other analogues were synthesized and tested against both cell lines. Thus this work allowed us to better determine the pharmacophore of the molecule and to propose muricatacin 1 instead of a more complicated acetogenin of Annonaceae as a lead compound in the search for new antineoplastic agents.
