MIT Built Verticillin A After 50 Years, and the Natural Molecule Was Not the One That Hit Glioma Cells Hardest
MIT and Dana-Farber reported the first total synthesis of verticillin A, isolated in 1970. N-sulfonylated variants, not the natural product, were the most potent against diffuse midline glioma cells in…
