metachromins C (3), J (4), and T (5), were isolated as inhibitors of cell cycle progression in
the HeLa/Fucci2 cells. The structure of 1 was assigned by spectroscopic data and confirmed
by a total synthesis. The planar structure of 2 was determined by interpretation of
spectroscopic data, whereas its absolute configuration was analyzed by a combination of
chiral HPLC and CD spectroscopy. Metachromins X (1) and C (3) arrested the cell cycle …
