Abstract B21: Novel pateamine A analogs to target pro-survival proteins in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Conclusions: We have successfully synthesized three new PatA analogs with potent anti-leukemia activities. These compounds hold promise for application to cancers with the right biological context, such as CLL, in which the leukemia cells are addicted to the sustained expression of short-lived oncoproteins for survival.Citation Format: Rong Chen, Mingzhao Zhu, Yuling Chen, Wesley Skillern, Qun Qin, William G.
