title: Enantioselective synthesis and biological activity of (3S,4R)- and (3S,4S)-3-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl- 4-butanolides in relation to PGE2.
abstract: Compounds 9 and 13 were synthesized, and their structures and stereochemistry were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. In competition binding experiments, specific [(3)H]-PGE(2) binding was significantly displaced by compound 9 and, to a lesser extent, by 13, in a dose-dependent manner. The biological properties of compound 9 were studied on HL-60 cells, and several effects were found related to those of PGE(2). Compound 9 increases c-fos mRNA level as does PGE(2) and antagonizes TPA-induced terminal differentiation.
