Thailandepsin a.

THAILANDEPSIN A [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (E)-(1S,5S,6R,9S,20R)-6-[(2S)-butan-2-yl]-5-hy-droxy-20-[2-(meth-yl-sulfan-yl)eth-yl]-2-oxa-11,12-dithia-7,19,22-triaza-bicyclo-[7.7.6]docosa-15-ene-3,8,18,21-tetra-one], C(23)H(37)N(3)O(6)S(3), is a newly reported [Wang et al. (2011). J. Nat. Prod. doi:10.1021/np200324x] bicyclic depsipeptide that has potent histone deacetyl-ase inhibitory activity and broad-spectrum anti-proliferative activity. The absolute configuration of thailandepsin A has been determined from the anomalous dispersion and the stereochemistry of all chiral C atoms. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds occur. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed in the crystal structure.
