Twenty-six episilon-rhodomycinone glycosides have been synthesized. These include the episilon-rhodomycinone glycosides of 2-deoxy-L-fucose, 2-deoxy-L-rhamnose, and 2-deoxy-D-ribose as well as their 2-hydroxyl derivatives. NMR spectroscopy showed that all the glycosides prepared had the saccharide residues linked to position 10 of episilon-rhodomycinone and helped establish the anomeric purity and configuration of several glycosides. Preliminary screening results show that 2-deoxy-di-O-acetyl-D-ribopyranosyl-episilon-rhodomycinone has an activity T/C of 125 on P388 tumors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
