Structure–activity relationship of furospinosulin-1 (1), a hypoxia-selective growth inhibitor isolated from marine sponge, was investigated. Concise synthetic method of 1 was developed, and some structurally modified analogues were prepared. Biological evaluation of them revealed that the whole chemical structure was important for the hypoxia-selective growth inhibitory activity of 1. Among prepared, the desmethyl analogue 30 showed ...
