Synthesis of macrocyclic shellfish toxins containing spiroimine moieties

Abstract

Covering: 1993–2006

An overview of the structure and biological activity of macrocyclic polyketides derived from dinoflagellates that contain unusual cyclic imine units is provided. The total and partial syntheses of these molecules are discussed with an emphasis on the construction of the spiroimine functionality thought to be the key pharmacophore of these fast-acting shellfish toxins.
