Abstract

Novel fluorinated analogues of goniothalamin 1 and howiinol A 2 have been prepared from trifluorocrotonate derivatives. Trifluoromethyl goniothalamin (R/S) 4 showed a slightly lower activity than 1, while the trifluoromethyl howiinol A 16 exhibited similar activities on several cell lines in the micromolar range. Unlike (R) goniothalamin and howiinol A, trifluoromethyl parent compounds remained unchanged when submitted to biomimetic oxidative systems.
