title: Syntheses and cytotoxicities of four stereoisomers of muricatacin from D-glucose.
abstract: Four stereoisomers of muricatacin 1a-d were prepared by the reaction of corresponding aldehydes 4a-d, which in turn were prepared from D-glucose, with the anion of triethylphosphonoacetate followed by reduction and cyclization under acidic conditions. Cytotoxicities of four stereoisomers were tested against in vitro A-549 cell line as well as MCF-7 cell line. Stereochemistry at C4 and C5 position of muricatacin did not affect the cytotoxicities significantly.
