Scalable total synthesis and biological evaluation of haouamine A and its atropisomer.

ABSTRACT: A total synthesis of the complex, bent aromatic ring-containing marine alkaloid haouamine A is achieved through a route in which every step (with the exception of the final deprotection) is performed on a gram-scale. This is accomplished through the development of a method for the dehydrogenation of cyclohexenones that allows for point-to-planar chirality transfer. This strategy makes it possible to program the desired atropisomeric outcome from a simple chiral cyclohexenone. By synthesizing atrop-haouamine A, this work has firmly established that natural haouamine exists as a single, nonequilibrating atropisomer. Finally, biological investigations demonstrate that the bent aromatic ring of this natural product is critical for anticancer activity against PC3 cells.

Total synthesis and biological evaluation of tyroscherin.

Project description:The efficient synthesis and biological evaluation of both the reported and revised structures of tyroscherin have been achieved. Central to our synthesis is a cross metathesis reaction that generated the trans-olefin regioselectively. This synthetic strategy enabled the facile manipulation of tyroscherin stereochemistry, facilitating the generation of all 16 tyroscherin diastereomers and a photoactivatable tyroscherin-based affinity probe for future mode of action studies.

Total synthesis and biological evaluation of transvalencin Z.

Project description:The emerging global epidemic of drug-resistant tuberculosis has created an urgent need to identify novel therapeutic approaches for disease treatment. Transvalencin Z (1) is a natural product from Nocardia transvalensis with relatively potent and selective antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis, making it an attractive target for structure-activity and mechanism of action studies. The total synthesis of the four possible diastereomers of transvalencin Z was completed (1a-d), and the absolute configurations were defined using chemical synthesis, HPLC retention times, and optical rotation measurements. Surprisingly, none of the transvalencin Z diastereomers exhibited any inhibitory activity against a panel of microbial pathogens, including several species of mycobacteria.

Total synthesis and biological evaluation of 22-hydroxyacuminatine.

Project description:A total synthesis of 22-hydroxyacuminatine, a cytotoxic alkaloid isolated from Camptotheca acuminata, is reported. The key step in the synthesis involves the reaction of 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinoline with a brominated phthalide to generate a substituted pentacyclic 12H-5,11a-diazadibenzo[b,h]fluoren-11-one intermediate. Despite its structural resemblance to camptothecin and luotonin A, a biological evaluation of 22-hydroxyacuminatine in a topoisomerase I-deficient cell line P388/CPT45 has confirmed that the observed cytotoxicity is not due to topoisomerase I inhibition, even though 22-hydroxyacuminatine has a hydroxyl group that can theoretically hydrogen bond to Asp533. This result is consistent with the hypothesis that pi-pi stacking is more important than hydrogen-bonding interactions in determining topoisomerase I inhibitor binding in the ternary cleavage complex.

Total synthesis and biological evaluation of fluorinated cryptophycins.

Project description:Cryptophycins are cytotoxic natural products that exhibit considerable activities even against multi-drug-resistant tumor cell lines. As fluorinated pharmaceuticals have become more and more important during the past decades, fluorine-functionalized cryptophycins were synthesized and evaluated in cell-based cytotoxicity assays. The unit A trifluoromethyl-modified cryptophycin proved to be highly active against KB-3-1 cells and exhibited an IC(50) value in the low picomolar range. However, the replacement of the 3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl-substituent in unit B by a pentafluorophenyl moiety resulted in a significant loss of activity.

Amphidinolide B: total synthesis, structural investigation, and biological evaluation.

Project description:The total syntheses of amphidinolide B1 and the proposed structure of amphidinolide B2 have been accomplished. Key aspects of this work include the development of a practical, non-transition-metal-mediated method for the construction of the C13-C15 diene, the identification of ?-chelation and dipole minimization models for diastereoselective methyl ketone aldol reactions, the discovery of a spontaneous Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons macrocyclization strategy, and the development of a novel late stage method for construction of an allylic epoxide moiety. The originally proposed structure for amphidinolide B2 and diastereomers thereof display potent antitumor activities with IC50 values ranging from 3.3 to 94.5 nM against human solid and blood tumor cells. Of the different stereoisomers, the proposed structure of amphidinolide B2 is over 12-fold more potent than the C8,9-epimer and C18-epimer in human DU145 prostate cancer cells. These data suggest that the epoxide stereochemistry is a significant factor for anticancer activity.

Scalable enantioselective total synthesis of taxanes.

Project description:Taxanes form a large family of terpenes comprising over 350 members, the most famous of which is Taxol (paclitaxel), a billion-dollar anticancer drug. Here, we describe the first practical and scalable synthetic entry to these natural products via a concise preparation of (+)-taxa-4(5),11(12)-dien-2-one, which has a suitable functional handle with which to access more oxidized members of its family. This route enables a gram-scale preparation of the 'parent' taxane--taxadiene--which is the largest quantity of this naturally occurring terpene ever isolated or prepared in pure form. The characteristic 6-8-6 tricyclic system of the taxane family, containing a bridgehead alkene, is forged via a vicinal difunctionalization/Diels-Alder strategy. Asymmetry is introduced by means of an enantioselective conjugate addition that forms an all-carbon quaternary centre, from which all other stereocentres are fixed through substrate control. This study lays a critical foundation for a planned access to minimally oxidized taxane analogues and a scalable laboratory preparation of Taxol itself.

Total synthesis, biological evaluation and biosynthetic re-evaluation of Illicium-derived neolignans.

Project description:We report the first total syntheses of simonsol F (3), simonsinol (5), fargenin (4), and macranthol (6) in addition to syntheses of simonsol C (2), simonsol G (1), and honokiol (14). The syntheses are based upon a phosphonium ylide-mediated cascade reaction and upon natural product isomerization reactions which proceed through Cope rearrangements of putative biosynthetic dienone intermediates. As a corollary of the natural product isomerization reactions, we propose an alternative biosynthesis of honokiol (14), simonsinol (5), and macranthol (6) which unites the natural products in this family under a single common precursor, chavicol (7). Finally, we demonstrate that simonsol C (2) and simonsol F (3) promote axonal growth in primary mouse cortical neurons.
