RT Journal Article T1 Exploring the ring-closing metathesis for the construction of the solomonamide macrocyclic core: identification of bioactive precursors A1 Cheng-Sánchez, Iván A1 Sánchez-Ruiz, Antonio A1 Martínez-Póveda, Beatriz Amparo A1 Medina-Torres, Miguel Ángel A1 Carrillo Fernández, Paloma A1 Rodríguez-Quesada, Ana María A1 López-Romero, Juan Manuel A1 Sarabia-García, Francisco Ramón K1 Cáncer AB New synthetic strategies directed toward the novel cyclopeptides solomonamides have been explored utilizing an olefin metathesis as the key reaction. In the various strategies investigated, we worked on minimally oxidized systems, and the olefin metathesis reaction demonstrated efficiency and validity for the construction of the macrocyclic core. The described synthetic strategies toward the solomonamides are well suited for the subsequent access to the natural products and represent flexible and diversityoriented routes that allow for the generation of a variety of analogues via oxidative transformations. In addition, preliminary biological evaluations of the generated solomonamide precursors revealed antitumor activity against various tumor cell lines.
