Abstract

A concise semi-synthesis of the Aspidosperma alkaloids, (-)-jerantinine A and (-)-melodinine P, and derivatives thereof, is reported. The novel compounds were shown to have potent activity against MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cells. Furthermore, unbiased metabolomics and live cell reporter assays reveal (-)-jerantinine A alters cellular redox metabolism and induces oxidative stress that coincides with cell cycle arrest.
