title: Large scale synthesis of the Cdc42 inhibitor secramine A and its inhibition of cell spreading.
abstract: We describe a large scale synthesis of secramine A. Consistent with its ability to inhibit activation of the small GTPase Cdc42, we find that secramine A inhibits cell spreading, a process previously shown to be Cdc42-dependent.
