Abstract

A tether length study of C32-O-phenalkyl ether derivatives of ascomycin was conducted wherein it was determined that a 2-carbon tether provides optimum in vitro immunosuppressive activity. Oxygen-bearing substituents along the 2-carbon tether can further increase the potency of this design.
