Total synthesis of eryvarin H and its derivatives and their biological activity as ERRγ inverse agonist.

Total synthesis of eryvarin H and a biological investigation of its analogues as a potential inverse agonist of ERRγ are described here. Among the 13 analogues prepared by the modular synthetic route, eryvarin H and compound showed meaningful ERRγ inverse agonistic activities along with moderate selectivity over ERα and other nuclear receptors in the cell-based reporter gene assay.
