Our synthetic approach involves a highly regio- and diastereoselective Mizoroki–Heck reaction and a Friedel–Crafts-type cyclodehydration to construct steroidal tetracycle 14 as a versatile common intermediate leading to seven 2,14β-dihydroxyestradiol analogues 1a–c, 2a–c, and 3 as possible candidates. By comparing the potency of inhibitory activity against Na+/K+-ATPase between the synthesized candidates and the EDLF, it was found that the proposed structure is not likely to be a true structure of the Inagami–Tamura EDLF.}, pages = {9097--9111}, title = {De Novo Synthesis of Possible Candidates for the Inagami–Tamura Endogenous Digitalis-like Factor}, volume = {82}, year = {2017} }
