title: Potent and selective inhibition of human cytochrome P450 3A4 by seco-pancratistatin structural analogs.
abstract: seco-Derivatives of the anticancer agent pancratistatin bearing the 2S,3S,4S,5S configuration were accessed via a novel, highly diastereoselective anti-aldol reaction. Structure-activity relationships reveal important insights into the seco-pancratistatin pharmacophore as a potent and selective inhibitor of human cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), and highlight features of concern in advancing a potent, selective anticancer agent in the pancratistatin series.
