We are grateful to Prof. Hirokazu Hotani, Drs. Tomohiko Itoh and Kingo Takiguchi (Department of Molecular Biology, Faculty of Science, Nagoya University) for donation of actin and their helpful advice and discussions. We thank Dr. Hisao Ekimoto and Ms. Mutsuko KJmura (Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd.) for evaluating the cytotoxicity of the natural and synthetic compounds. This work was supported in part by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas (Natural Supramolecules), for COE Research (No. 07CE2004), and for Encouragement of Young Scientists (No. 08780542) from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture, Japan, the Fujisawa Foundation, and Ono Pharmaceutical Co.

N2 - The artificial analogs of aplyronine A (1), a potent cytotoxic and antitumor macrolide, were synthesized and the structure-activity (cytotoxicity and actin depolymerizing activity) studies were performed; the side chain portion in 1 was found to play a key role in both biological activities.
