Recent advances in microtubule-stabilizing agents
2018, European Journal of Medicinal ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Madiraju et al. [81] studied the biochemical and cytological activity of synthetic (-)-dictyostatin (21) in detail, and their research results were consistent with the idea that the anti-proliferative activity of dictyostatin is similar to that of paclitaxel and discodermolide. There are some reports about the total synthesis of the C9- and C16-analogues of (-)-dictyostatin via a versatile synthetic strategy and the SAR research, indicating that the C9 and C16 region of (-)-dictyostatin are not only the significant positions of anti-proliferative activity but also the two key positions of acting on the paclitaxel-resistant cell lines [82,83]. In 2005, Curran group completed the total synthesis of (−)-16-Normethyldictyostatin, an important member of the dictyostatin family, and made its biological evaluation, confirming that C16 methyl group of the dictyostatins is essential for its binding on β-tubulin at the paclitaxel binding site [84].
Dictyoceratidan poisons: Defined mark on microtubule-tubulin dynamics
2016, Life SciencesCitation Excerpt :However there seemed to be no fortune for dictyostatin as against the excitement rendered by discodermolide because the structural complexity of the previous seemed to have posed a severe impediment for routine activity checks, as in case with many other compounds from marine sources. Hence researchers remedy to large-scale synthesis on the targeted molecule and preparation of analogs therein and two key players who spurred structure–activity studies within a period of 7 years (2004–2011) were the Paterson [72, 74–79, 71] and the Curran ones [69, 73, 80–83]. The works spear-headed by these teams have largely complemented each other and their records put in concert provide a solid picture of dictyostatin Structure Activity Relationship (SAR).

Total synthesis of (-)-dictyostatin, a microtubule-stabilising anticancer macrolide of marine sponge origin
2010, TetrahedronCitation Excerpt :After extensive screening of conditions, including base, solvent, concentration and temperature, we found that the optimal yield and selectivity were achieved by using an excess of phosphonate 5 (1.5 equiv) and treating this with K2CO3 and 18-crown-6 in the presence of aldehyde 7 in PhMe/HMPA (10:1) (Scheme 5). Good selectivity (6:1 Z:E) could then be realised for the desired (Z)-enone 27, which was isolated in 65% yield.39 This pivotal Still–Gennari-type fragment coupling strategy has figured prominently in our synthesis of a variety of dictyostatin analogues for SAR studies.18
