TAMANDARIN AND DIDEMNIN ANALOGS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THEM

摘要

The present invention relates to didemnin analogs, including tamandarin analogs and didemnin and tamandarin analogs which have a deoxo-proline residue or a dehydro-proline residue in their structure. These analogs are useful as anti-cancer agents and for other purposes. Methods of making these analogs and methods of using them as inhibitors of protein synthesis, cell growth, and tumorigenesis and as enhancers of apoptosis are also provided.
