Stopping myo: The total syntheses of the title compounds have been achieved using a highly efficient silver(I)- catalyzed cyclization of N-tosyl-homopropargylamines. The pseudilin derivatives represent a novel class of myosin inhibitors. A new allosteric binding pocket of the Dictyostelium myosin-2 motor domain has been identified for pentabromopseudilin (1) by using an X-ray crystal structure determination of the inhibitor-protein complex.
