AI Article Synopsis

  • Asymmetric total synthesis of danicalipin A was successfully completed, focusing on a specific method for adding chlorine atoms.
  • Researchers assessed the biological effects of synthetic danicalipin A, its enantiomer (mirror image), and their racemic mixture on brine shrimp.
  • The study found that both enantiomers exhibited nearly identical biological activity.

Article Abstract

Asymmetric total synthesis of danicalipin A was achieved. The synthesis was characterized by diastereoselective introduction of chlorine atoms. Biological activities with synthetic danicalipin A, its enantiomer, and racemate were also evaluated toward brine shrimp. Both enantiomers of danicalipin A showed almost the same activity.
