Abstract

A general protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of 3-N-arylmethylated right-half model compounds of renieramycins was developed, which enabled structure–activity relationship (SAR) study of several 3-N-arylmethyl derivatives. The most active compound (6a) showed significant cytotoxic activity against human prostate cancer DU145 and colorectal cancer HCT116 cell lines (IC50 = 11.9, and 12.5 nM, respectively).

Highlights

  • Natural products belonging to the bis-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline family, such as Natural products belonging to the bis-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline family, such as renieramycins, renieramycins, saframycins, and ecteinascidins, have attracted considerable attention due to their saframycins, and ecteinascidins, have attracted considerable attention due to their potent biological potent biological activities, structural diversity, and meager availability nature (Figure1) [1]
