Synthesis of the Naturally Occurring (-)-1,3,5-Tri-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid.

ABSTRACT: Ribonuclease H (RNase H) is an essential component to the replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and only a few inhibitors of this enzyme are known. Millenia Hope Pharmaceuticals Inc. found that (-)-1,3,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid is a potent RNase H inhibitor and antiviral agent. A facile route leading to this inhibitor from commercially available (-)-quinic acid is reported within.

Naturally Occurring Nervonic Acid Ester Improves Myelin Synthesis by Human Oligodendrocytes.

Project description:The dysfunction of oligodendrocytes (OLs) is regarded as one of the major causes of inefficient remyelination in multiple sclerosis, resulting gradually in disease progression. Oligodendrocytes are derived from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), which populate the adult central nervous system, but their physiological capability to myelin synthesis is limited. The low intake of essential lipids for sphingomyelin synthesis in the human diet may account for increased demyelination and the reduced efficiency of the remyelination process. In our study on lipid profiling in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis brain, we revealed that during acute inflammation, nervonic acid synthesis is silenced, which is the effect of shifting the lipid metabolism pathway of common substrates into proinflammatory arachidonic acid production. In the experiments on the human model of maturating oligodendrocyte precursor cells (hOPCs) in vitro, we demonstrated that fish oil mixture (FOM) affected the function of hOPCs, resulting in the improved synthesis of myelin basic protein, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, and proteolipid protein, as well as sphingomyelin. Additionally, FOM reduces proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and enhances fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) synthesis by hOPCs was also demonstrated. Based on these observations, we propose that the intake of FOM rich in the nervonic acid ester may improve OL function, affecting OPC maturation and limiting inflammation.

Synthesis and structure of 2,4,6-tri-cyclo-butyl-1,3,5-trioxane.

Project description:The synthesis and structure of 2,4,6,-tri-cyclo-butyl-1,3,5-trioxane, C15H24O3 1, is described. It was formed in 39% yield during the work-up of the Swern oxidation of cyclo-butyl-methanol and may serve as a stable precursor of the cyclo-butane carbaldehyde. The mol-ecule of 1 occupies a special position (3.m) located at the center of its 1,3,5-trioxane ring. The latter is in a chair conformation, with the symmetry-independent O and C atoms deviating by 0.651 (4) Å from the least-squares plane of the other atoms of the trioxane ring. All three cyclo-butane substituents, which have a butterfly conformation with an angle between the two planes of 25.7 (3)°, are in the cis conformation relative to the 1,3,5-trioxane ring. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions between the 1,3,5-trioxane rings consolidate the crystal structure, forming stacks along the c-axis direction. The crystal studied was refined a as a racemic twin.

Total Synthesis of Naturally Occurring 5,7,8-Trioxygenated Homoisoflavonoids.

Project description:Homoisoflavonoids are in the subclass of the larger family of flavonoids but have one more alkyl carbon than flavonoids. Among them, 5,7,8-trioxygenated homoisoflavonoids have not been extensively studied for synthesis and biological evaluation. Our current objective is to synthesize 2 5,7,8-trioxygenated chroman-4-ones and 12 5,7,8-trioxygenated homoisoflavonoids that have been isolated from the plants Bellevalia eigii, Drimiopsis maculata, Ledebouria graminifolia, Eucomis autumnalis, Eucomis punctata, Eucomis pallidiflora, Chionodoxa luciliae, Muscari comosum, and Dracaena cochinchinensis. For this purpose, 1,3,4,5-tetramethoxybenzene and 4'-benzyloxy-2',3'-dimethoxy-6'-hydroxyacetophenone were used as starting materials. Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation using Noyori's Ru catalyst provided 5,7,8-trioxygenated-3-benzylchroman-4-ones with R-configuration in high yield and enantiomeric excess. By selective deprotection of homoisoflavonoids using BCl3, the total synthesis of natural products including 10 first syntheses and three asymmetric syntheses has been completed, and three isomers of the reported dracaeconolide B could be provided. Our research on 5,7,8-trioxygenated homoisoflavonoids would be useful for the synthesis of related natural products and pharmacological applications.

3,4,5-Tri-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid Promoted Hair Pigmentation Through β-Catenin and Its Target Genes.

Project description:The hair follicle undergoes a regular cycle composed of three phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen. The life of follicular melanocytes is totally linked to the hair cycle; and during anagen or the growth phase, the melanocytes are active and produce the melanin responsible of hair shaft pigmentation. Various signaling pathways regulate the hair growth cycle and, therefore, the pigmentation; we distinguish the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway as it plays a major role in the development, growth, and proliferation of the melanocytes and the activation of melanogenesis enzymes and the related transcription factor. In this study, 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid (TCQA), a caffeoylquinic acid derivative, stimulated the pigmentation in C3H mouse hair follicle, in human melanocytes, and B16F10 melanoma cells. An enhancement in pigmentation associated genes was observed upon TCQA treatment in vivo and in vitro. Interestingly, the expression of β-catenin was remarkably upregulated in mouse treated skin and in pigment cell lines. Moreover, TCQA upregulated CTNNB1 expression after inhibition in human melanocytes. Taken together, this study suggests that TCQA triggered β-catenin activation to enhance the pigmentation during the anagen phase of the hair cycle.

Structure and synthesis of naturally occurring anhydrovitamin A2.

Project description:The structure of naturally occurring anhydrovitamin A2 was elucidated as 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol from study of its u.v.--visible, i.r., n.m.r. and mass spectra. The structure has been confirmed by a chemical synthesis. Saccobranchus fossils, a freshwater fish, can convert 3-hydroxyretinol into 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol, which in turn is converted into-3-dehydroretinol. Chemical conversion of 3-hydroxyretinol into 3-dehydroretinol was also carried out.

Asymmetric Total Synthesis of the Naturally Occurring Antibiotic Anthracimycin.

Project description:The first total synthesis of the potent antibiotic anthracimycin was achieved in 20 steps. The synthesis features an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to forge the trans-decalin moiety, and an unprecedented aldol reaction using a complex β-ketoester to provide the tricarbonyl motif. A Stork-Zhao olefination and Grubbs ring closing metathesis delivered the E/Z-diene and forged the macrocycle. The C2 configuration was set with a base-mediated epimerization, providing access to (-)-anthracimycin.

Benzene-1,3,5-tri-carb-oxy-lic acid-pyridinium-2-olate (1/3).

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C9H6O6·3C5H5NO, contains one benzene-1,3,5-tri-carb-oxy-lic acid mol-ecule (BTA) and three pyridin-2-ol mol-ecules each present in the zwitterion form. In the crystal, these entities are linked through O-H⋯O(-) and N(+)-H⋯O(-) hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (10-1). These layers contain macrocyclic rings of composition [BTA]2[pyol]6 and with graph-set notation R (6) 8(44), which are stacked along c through π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distances = 3.536 (2)-3.948 (3) Å]. They are inter-connected by N(+)-H⋯O(-) hydrogen-bonded chains of pyridin-2-ol mol-ecules running parallel to c, forming a three-dimensional network. There are also C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds present which reinforce the three-dimensional structure.

Chemoselective synthesis and analysis of naturally occurring phosphorylated cysteine peptides.

Project description:In contrast to protein O-phosphorylation, studying the function of the less frequent N- and S-phosphorylation events have lagged behind because they have chemical features that prevent their manipulation through standard synthetic and analytical methods. Here we report on the development of a chemoselective synthetic method to phosphorylate Cys side-chains in unprotected peptides. This approach makes use of a reaction between nucleophilic phosphites and electrophilic disulfides accessible by standard methods. We achieve the stereochemically defined phosphorylation of a Cys residue and verify the modification using electron-transfer higher-energy dissociation (EThcD) mass spectrometry. To demonstrate the use of the approach in resolving biological questions, we identify an endogenous Cys phosphorylation site in IICB(Glc), which is known to be involved in the carbohydrate uptake from the bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS). This new chemical and analytical approach finally allows further investigating the functions and significance of Cys phosphorylation in a wide range of crucial cellular processes.

1,3,5-Tri-fluoro-2,4,6-tri-iodo-benzene-piperazine (2/1).

Project description:The single-crystal structure of the title compound, C4H10N2·2C6F3I3, features a moderately strong halogen bond between one of the three crystallographically distinct iodine atoms and the nitro-gen atom. The iodine-nitro-gen distance is 2.820 (3) Å, corresponding to 80% of the sum of their van der Waals radii. The C-I⋯N halogen bond angle is 178.0 (1)°, consistent with the linear inter-action of nitro-gen via a σ-hole opposite the carbon-iodine covalent bond. The other two iodine atoms do not engage in halogen bonding. Some weak C-H⋯F and -H⋯I interactions are also observed. The complete piperazine molecule is generated by symmetry.

Naturally occurring lactic Acid bacteria isolated from tomato pomace silage.

Project description:Silage making has become a significant method of forage conservation worldwide. To determine how tomato pomace (TP) may be used effectively as animal feed, it was ensilaged for 90 days and microbiology counts, fermentation characteristics and chemical composition of tomato pomace silage (TPS) were evaluated at the 30th, 60th, and 90th days, respectively. In addition, 103 lactic acid bacteria were isolated from TPS. Based on the phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, 16S rDNA sequence and carbohydrate fermentation tests, the isolates were identified as 17 species namely: Lactobacillus coryniformis subsp. torquens (0.97%), Lactobacillus pontis (0.97%), Lactobacillus hilgardii (0.97%), Lactobacillus pantheris (0.97%), Lactobacillus amylovorus (1.9%), Lactobacillus panis (1.9%), Lactobacillus vaginalis (1.9%), Lactobacillus rapi (1.9%), Lactobacillus buchneri (2.9%), Lactobacillus parafarraginis (2.9%), Lactobacillus helveticus (3.9%), Lactobacillus camelliae (3.9%), Lactobacillus fermentum (5.8%), Lactobacillus manihotivorans (6.8%), Lactobacillus plantarum (10.7%), Lactobacillus harbinensis (16.5%) and Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei (35.0%). This study has shown that TP can be well preserved for 90 days by ensilaging and that TPS is not only rich in essential nutrients, but that physiological and biochemical properties of the isolates could provide a platform for future design of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculants aimed at improving the fermentation quality of silage.
