M-COPA (1), which contains diene and 3-picolylamine moieties in its side chain and seven stereogenic centers in a multisubstituted octalin skeleton, strongly inhibits the growth of several cancer cell lines. Expecting the improvement of conformational flexibility of basic and coordinating 3-pyridylmethylamino group on M-COPA and its physical properties, we efficiently synthesized its amine analogs by replacing its amide group with an amino group through the Weinreb amide-type Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction. The cytotoxic properties of 1 and its analogs were evaluated against NCI-H226, a lung cancer cell line, HeLa, a cervical cancer cell line, and GIST-T1, a gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell line. The evaluation results indicated that the structural alteration from amide moiety to amine moiety lowered the pharmacological activity but remained strong cytotoxicity.
