A trifluoroacetamide analogue of siastatin B, (3R, 4R, 5R, 6R)-6-(trifluoroacetamido)-4, 5-dihydroxy-3-piperidinecarboxylic acid has been chemically synthesized. This compound, as well as the previously synthesized analogue, (3R, 4R, 5R, 6R)-6-(triiluoroacetamido)-3, 4, 5-trihydroxy-3-piperidinecarbo xylic acid, showed marked inhibitory activity against δ-glucuronidase and significant inhibition of experimental pulmonary metastasis of the highly metastatic melanoma B16.
