title: Role of the A-ring of bryostatin analogues in PKC binding: synthesis and initial biological evaluation of new A-ring-modified bryologs.
abstract: The syntheses of three newly designed bryostatin analogues are reported. These simplified analogues, which lack the A-ring present in the natural product but possess differing groups at C9, were obtained using a divergent approach from a common intermediate. All three analogues exhibit potent, single-digit nanomolar affinity to protein kinase C.
