Eeyarestatin I (EerI) is a potent anticancer agent currently under investigation at the NIH and has been found to induce inhibition of retro-translocation of proteins which results in preferential cell death of leukemia/lymphoma cancer cells. A general route to EerI analogs was desired to allow a diverse structural library to probe SAR for further biological studies and drug development. A concise method for the preparation of EerI and related molecules sharing the imidazalonone core will be described.
