Abstract
8-Methoxy-15,16-dinor-6,8,10-trichothecatriene 12,13.alpha.-epoxide (5) and 12,13.beta.-epoxide (3) were prepared; the stereochemistry of the epoxides was assigned on the basis of 13C NMR. The epoxide 5 was active against [human oral carcinoma] 9KB in vitro and [mouse leukemia] P388 in vivo, while the isomeric epoxide 3 was inactive in both test systems.
