New antitumoral acetogenin ‘Guanacone type’ derivatives: Isolation and bioactivity. Molecular dynamics simulation of diacetyl-guanacone

2007

We describe herein the isolation and semisynthesis of four acetogenin derivatives (1-4) as well as their ability to inhibit the mitochondrial respiratory chain and several tumor cell lines. In addition, four nanoseconds (ns) of MD simulation of compound 4, in a fully hydrated POPC bilayer, is reported.
