Synthesis of a fluorescent photoaffinity probe of OSW-1 by site-selective acylation of an inactive congener and biological evaluation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jan 3;53(3):517-520. doi: 10.1039/c6cc08955k.

Abstract

A novel fluorescent photoaffinity probe of OSW-1 was prepared in two steps from a naturally occurring inactive congener by a sequential site-selective acylation strategy using Me2SnCl2. It displayed highly potent anticancer activity and a similar intracellular localization property to that of a fluorescently-tagged OSW-1, thereby demonstrating its potential utility in live cell studies.
