Analogues of the potent and moderately selective PP1/PP2A inhibitor tautomycin (TM) were prepared with modifications in the C1′–C7′ anhydride moiety. While all retain varying degrees of activity within a 3000-fold range of potencies, they also show remarkable constancy in their IC50 ratios, suggesting that the anhydride moiety is not critical in controlling the selectivity of inhibition.
