Synthetic Strategy and Anti-Tumor Activities of Macrocyclic Scaffolds Based on 4-Hydroxyproline

A series of novel 13- to 15-member hydroxyproline-based macrocycles, which contain alkyl-alkyl ether and alkyl-aryl ether moieties, have been synthesized by the strategy of macrocyclization utilising azide-alkyne cycloaddition, Mitsunobu protocol and amide formation. Their anti-tumor activities towa...
