In the course of generating a library of open-chain epothilones, we discovered a new class of small molecule anticancer agents that has no effect on tubulin but instead kills selected cancer cell lines by harnessing reactive oxygen species in an iron-dependent manner. Results of the preliminary studies are consistent with the recently described cell death mechanism ferroptosis. Studies are in progress to confirm ferroptosis as the cell death mechanism and to identify the specific molecular targets of these small molecule anticancer agents.

A Stille coupling strategy has been utilized to complete a total synthesis of epothilone E from vinyl iodide 7 and thiazole-stannane 8h. The central core fragment 7 and its trans-isomer 11 were prepared from triene 15 using ring-closing metathesis (RCM),
