[formula: see text] Tamandarin A (1), a newly isolated natural product similar in structure to didemnin B (2), was shown to be somewhat more active in vitro than 2 against pancreatic carcinoma with an ED50 value 1.5 to 2 ng/mL. We report here the first total synthesis of 1. The key steps include a practical stereoselective synthesis of the Hiv-isostatine unit, high-yielding linear precursor formation, a successful macrocyclization, and coupling of the macrocycle with the side chain to afford tamandarin A (1).
Total syntheses and biological investigations of tamandarins A and B and tamandarin A analog

Tamandarins A (1) and B (2), two natural products similar in structure to didemnin B (3), were recently isolated from a Brazilian marine ascidian of the family Didemnidae. The cytotoxicity of 1 was reported to be somewhat more potent in vitro than that of 3 against various human cancer cell lines. The present account describes the first total syntheses of 1 and 2, and the syntheses of tamandarin A side chain analogues. The cytotoxicity data for these compounds show that the side chain modifications exhibit a parallel effect for both didemnins and tamandarins. This observation supports tamandarins' role as didemnins' mimic.
Total synthesis of (-)-tamandarin B

The synthesis of tamandarin B is described. Key steps in the synthesis of the macrocycle component include a diastereoselective ketone reduction, linear precursor formation via an activated pentafluorophenyl ester, and HATU-promoted cyclization. Side-chain coupling was achieved in excellent yield with the newly developed coupling reagent DEPBT. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
