Resumo

Two stepwise procedures, developed for the introduction of the (E)-4-methyl-4-hexenoic acid side chain of mycophenolic acid, were used in the synthesis of monocyclic mycophenolic acid analogues 2a−i. The derivatives with a methyl group or hydrogen at C-4 and lacking the lactone moiety were much less cytotoxic than mycophenolic acid. The monocyclic analogues with a C-4 chloro group did show some activity, albeit much less than mycophenolic acid. The observed differences in potency are rationalized by semiempirical calculations of intramolecular H-bonds.
