The seco-acid of the natural macrolactone, tuckolide (decarestrictin D) and the C-7 epimer have been prepared in enantiomerically pure form from D-gluconolactone and poly(3-hydroxy butyric acid). The key steps are Horner Emmons olefination and stereoselective reduction of the resulting enone to provide both epimers at C-7. None of the seco-acids inhibit microsomal HMGCoA reductase of pea or rat liver. It may be concluded that the cholesterol biosynthesis inhibiting effect of tuckolide is unlikely to proceed via HMGCoA reductase inhibition.
