Chaetocin, a natural product isolated from Chaetomium species fungi, was reported to have various biological activities, including antitumor and antifungal activities. Recently, we reported the first total synthesis of chaetocin and its derivatives. Here, we examined the cell-death-inducing activity of these compounds in human leukemia HL-60 cells. The unnatural enantiomer of chaetocin (ent-chaetocin) was more potent than chaetocin, and was found to induce apoptosis through the caspase-8/caspase-3 activation pathway.
