Notes:
The 4-epiverrucarin A (24), a new unnatural macrocyclic trichothecene, was synthesized starting from 4-epiverrucarol (20). The latter was obtained by metal-hydride reduction of the 4-oxo derivative 19. Subsequent conversion of 20 into the monoester 30 and then the diester 32 followed by macrolactonization of the latter yielded 4-epiverrucarin A (24). Attempts to invert the configuration of the naturally occuring 3α-OH group of a trichothecene were unsuccessful. The cytostatic (P-815) and immunosuppressive (MLR) activity of several natural and unnatural trichothecenes was determined in vitro.
