title: Synthesis of the epimer of pericosine B from (-)-quinic Acid.
abstract: Synthesis of the epimer of pericosine B from (-)-quinic acid was achieved. This synthesis involves some regioselective and stereoselective processes. The desired product showed lower cytotoxic activity in comparison with natural pericosine B against the P388 leukemia cell line. The result implies that the stereocenter of C-6 in natural pericosine B plays an important role in this activity.
