| Research Abstract |
HIV protease is an enzyme responsible for the proteolysis of the polyprotein expressed by the retrovirus to produce matured proteins necessary for proliferation and infection. Thus, the inhibition of HIV protease represents an important therapeutic strategy for HIV-infected patients. In the present study, we have investigated synthetic routes toward marine natural products didemnaketals and their partial structures. We have completed the stereoselective syntheses of the C1-C11 acyclic domain and C9-C28 spiroacetal domain of didemnaketal B.
