title: Stereoselective synthesis of a novel apio analogue of neplanocin A as potential S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase inhibitor.
abstract: A total synthesis of apio-neplanocin A, which combines properties of apio nucleoside and neplanocin A and is a potential inhibitor of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, was accomplished starting from D-ribose via stereoselective hydroxymethylation and RCM reaction. [reaction: see text]
