Abstract

Verucopeptin is an inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), which is a promising target for Cancer chemotherapy. Here, we report the first total synthesis of verucopeptin via condensation of the depsipeptide core and the polyketide side chain unit including three branched methyl groups after the synthesis of each segment.
