The first total synthesis of dracaenins A and B is achieved in four steps. The synthesis features the convergent coupling of three readily available fragments with minimized use of protecting groups. The chemical synthesis enables the discovery of their activity in stimulating platelet aggregation, and thus, sheds light on the possible origin of the hemostatic effect of dragon's blood.
- Total synthesis,
- Natural product,
- Dragon's blood,
- Dracaenin,
- Hemostasis
