Stereoselective synthesis of the tetracyclic core of manzamine via the vinylogous amide photocycloaddition cascade

TL;DR: In this article, the stereoselective preparation of the tetracyclic core of the manzamine alkaloids via the intramolecular vinylogous amide photocycloaddition/retro-Mannich fragmentation/mannich closure cascade is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical study on hapalosin, a cyclic depsipeptide possessing multidrug resistance reversing activities : synthesis, structure and biological activity

TL;DR: In this article, a multidrug resistance reversing activity was demonstrated in the N-demethylhapalosin (N-DEMethyl-Hapalosin 11) using a spectroscopic manner and molecular modeling studies.
