ABSTRACT
An archazolid natural product fragment that displays dose-dependent inhibition of the vacuolar-type ATPase (VATPase) has been synthesized by a high-yielding Suzuki coupling of two complex subunits. Similarly, a further simplified fragment was prepared and evaluated for VATPase inhibitory activity. This compound did inhibit the VATPase, as evidenced by growth inhibition of etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings, however at approximately 10× lower potency than the more complex fragment. Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme inhibition was not observed for either fragment.

ABSTRACT
A convergent synthesis of a C1-C23 fragment of the archazolids has been completed based on a high yielding Stille coupling to costruct the substituted Z,Z,E-conjugated triene. After removal of the protecting groups, the resulting tetrol exhibited evidence for inhibition of the vacuolar-type ATPase (V-ATPase) but not cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitory activity.
