Simple epoxide analogs of trichothecans.
To define clearly the epoxide grouping role in trichothecan biological activity, a series of hindered epoxides was prepared. They possessed alpha, alpha'-substitution reminiscent of the epoxide environment of the natural products. None of these analogs demonstrated biological activities similar to the natural toxins.
