Uses
Zaragozic acid C (L-697350) is a potent sterol synthase inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. Zaragozic acid C contains multiple hydroxyl and alkyl substituents in its chemical structure, demonstrating complex functionalization capabilities. The synthesis of zaragozic acid C involves a photochemical C(sp3)-H acylation reaction, which resolves the challenging carbon substitution problem in the synthesis[1].
Definition
ChEBI: Zaragozic acid C is a polyketide isolated from fungi that is a potent inhibitor of fungal and mammalian squalene synthase. It has a role as an EC 2.5.1.21 (squalene synthase) inhibitor and a fungal metabolite. It is an acetate ester, a cyclic ketal, an oxabicycloalkane, a polyketide, a tertiary alcohol and a tricarboxylic acid.
