Abstract

Synthesis of Novel Monocyclic Squalestatin Analogues as PotentialInhibitors of Squalene Synthase. -The synthesis of the two 1,3-dioxane tricarboxylic acid analogues (VI) and (VII) of natural squalestatin (VIII) is described as shown for (VI) . Both compounds show moderate activities against squalene synthase ( rat liver and Candida albicans).-(SHAW, R. E.; BURGESS, C.; COUSINS, R. P. C.; GIBLIN, G. M. P.; LIVERMORE, D. G. H.; SHINGLER, A.
