title: Participation of the beta-hydroxyketone part for potent cytotoxicity of callystatin A, a spongean polyketide.
abstract: The participation of the beta-hydroxyketone part of callystatin A in the potent cytotoxicity was analyzed through the analogue-syntheses and the assessment of their biological potencies. The ketonic carbonyl, the 19-hydroxyl, and the three asymmetric methyl groups located in the beta-hydroxyketone part of callystatin A were revealed to contribute to the cytotoxic potency, respectively. Moreover, the alpha,beta-unsaturated delta-lactone portion was shown to serve as a conclusive functional group for the cytotoxic activity.
