Abstract

Unusually promising profiles of antitumor activity are displayed by 26-trifluoro-(E)-9,10-dehydro-dEpoB (1), the design and practical total synthesis of which is described. This compound promotes tumor shrinkage and disappearance in human xenografts in nude mice at well-tolerated doses, with complete remission for over two months and early rapid recovery of body weight to the pretreatment control levels.
