Sumario:The first total synthesis of the unusual aromatic sesquiterpene panicein A(2) is reported and the structure of the natural product has been confirmed. When tested by the NCI against a range of human cancer cell lines, it was found that panicein A(2) exhibits very little antiproliferative activity at 10 μM – an observation that is at odds with the earlier report that stated panicein A(2) exhibits in vitro cytotoxicity against a number of tumour cell lines.
