Abstract:
The design, asymmetric synthesis, and biological evaluation of a new class of bryostatin analogues based on a pseudosymmetric spacer
domain are described. An aryl bromide diversification site is incorporated allowing access to systematically varied analogues. The new analogues
all exhibit potent, nanomolar affinity to PKC.
