Abstract

Total synthesis of cryptocin, a fungus metabolite, was achieved based on the biosynthetic hypothesis. A variety of derivatives of cryptocin, equisetin and fusarisetin A were prepared, wherein the racemization of C-3 and diastereoselectivity of C-5 were investigated. We further examined their inhibitory effects on breast cancer cell survival and metastasis, and summarized the structure-activity relationship.
