Synthesis of portimines reveals the basis of their anti-cancer activity

Nature, Published online: 20 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41586-023-06535-1

A scalable total synthesis of portimines enables structural reassignment of portimine B and in-depth functional evaluation of portimine A, revealing that portimine A induces translation inhibition selectively in human cancer cells and is efficacious in vivo tumour-clearance models.
