Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Rigid Polycyclic Derivatives of the Diels-Alder Adduct Tricyclo6.2.1.027undeca-49-dien-36-dione

摘要

Part of our research program concentrates on the discovery of new bioactive compounds prepared either by total synthesis or molecular transformation of compounds with bioactivity profiles. In this work we have focused our interest on chemical transformations of the Diels-Alder adduct tricyclo[6.2.1.0^2,7]undeca-4,9-dien-3,6-dione in order to obtain cage-like compounds and derivatives, followed by an evaluation of their biological activity.
