Synthesis of the bis-tetrahydropyran core of amphidinol 3. [PDF]
A convergent synthesis of the C31-C52 bis-tetrahydropyran core of the natural product amphidinol 3 is reported. A common intermediate was synthesized from D-tartaric acid utilizing an asymmetric glycolate alkylation/ring-closing metathesis sequence to construct the THP rings.

Synthesis and Stereochemical Revision of the C31–C67 Fragment of Amphidinol 3
AbstractAmphidinol 3 (AM3) is a marine natural product produced by the dinoflagellate Amphidinium klebsii. Although the absolute configuration of AM3 was determined in 1999 by extensive NMR analysis and degradation of the natural product, it was a daunting task because of the presence of numerous stereogenic centers on the acyclic carbon chain and the ...

Amphidinol C, a Major Polyketide from an Irish Strain of the Dinoflagellate Amphidinium Carterae
An Irish strain of the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae was previously shown to produce antibacterial amphidinol derivatives of unknown masses. Inspection of the major metabolites present in a bulk culture of this strain led to the isolation and structure elucidation of a new amphidinol derivative named amphidinol C featuring an unprecedented ...

Channel Formation and Membrane Deformation via Sterol-Aided Polymorphism of Amphidinol 3. [PDF]
AbstractAmphidinol 3 (AM3) is an anti-fungal polyene extracted from a marine dinoflagellate. Here, we examined the ion channel activity and membrane-embedded structure of AM3 using a lipid bilayer method and atomic force microscopy (AFM). AM3 exhibited large-conductance (~1 nS) and non-selective single-channel activity only when sterols were present in
