“…[17] As a result, deoxyharringtonine (2), anhydroharringtonine (5), and the b-lactone intermediate 79 (generated in the synthesis of 2, Scheme 13) were evaluated against a variety of human hematopoietic and solid tumor cell lines (Table 2). [96,97] These include HL-60 (acute promyelocytic leukemia), HL-60/RV + (a P-glycoprotein over-expressing multidrug resistant HL-60 variant which was selected by continuous exposure to the vinca alkaloid vincristine), JURKAT (T cell leukemia), ALL3 (acute lymphoblastic leukemia recently isolated from a patient treated at MSKCC and characterized as Philadelphia chromosome positive), NCEB1 (Mantle cell lymphoma), JEKO (B cell lymphoma), MOLT-3 (acute lymphoblastic T-cell), SKNLP (neuroblastoma), Y79 (retinoblastoma), PC9 (adenocarcinoma), H1650 (adenocarcinoma), H1975 (adenocarcinoma), H2030 (adenocarcinoma), H3255 (adenocarcinoma), TC71 (Ewings sarcoma), HTB-15 (glioblastoma), A431 (epithelial carcinoma), HeLa (cervical adenocarcinoma), and WD0082 (well-differentiated liposarcoma).…”
