Efficient synthesis of the tetracyclic aminoquinone moiety of marmycin A.

ABSTRACT: An efficient four-step route to the tetracyclic aminoquinone moiety of marmycin A that proceeds in 41% overall yield from 5-nitronaphthoquinone and 5-methyl-1-vinylcyclohexene will facilitate preparation of marmycin A analogues for biological evaluation. The Diels-Alder reaction gave exclusively the desired adduct that is favored by steric considerations rather than the regioisomeric adduct that is favored by electronic considerations.

Synthesis of the tetracyclic core of exiguaquinol.

Project description:A Diels-Alder reaction, a desymmetrizing aldol reaction, and a reductive Heck cyclization are employed in a short synthesis of a tetracycle relevant to exiguaquinol, a potential antibiotic. Ground-state energies of this advanced model system and the natural product rationalize the incorrect hemiaminal configuration experimentally obtained and point to the importance of the sulfonate in dictating the relative configuration of the natural product.

A modular synthesis of tetracyclic meroterpenoid antibiotics.

Project description:Stachyflin, aureol, smenoqualone, strongylin A, and cyclosmenospongine belong to a family of tetracyclic meroterpenoids, which, by nature of their unique molecular structures and various biological properties, have attracted synthetic and medicinal chemists alike. Despite their obvious biosynthetic relationship, only scattered reports on the synthesis and biological investigation of individual meroterpenoids have appeared so far. Herein, we report a highly modular synthetic strategy that enabled the synthesis of each of these natural products and 15 non-natural derivatives. The route employs an auxiliary-controlled Diels-Alder reaction to enable the enantioselective construction of the decalin subunit, which is connected to variously substituted arenes by either carbonyl addition chemistry or sterically demanding sp2-sp3 cross-coupling reactions. The selective installation of either the cis- or trans-decalin stereochemistry is accomplished by an acid-mediated cyclization/isomerization reaction. Biological profiling reveals that strongylin A and a simplified derivative thereof have potent antibiotic activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Microfluidic light-driven synthesis of tetracyclic molecular architectures.

Project description:Herein we report an effective synthetic method for the direct assembly of highly functionalized tetracyclic pharmacophoric cores. Coumarins and chromones undergo diastereoselective [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with light-generated photoenol intermediates. The reactions occur by aid of a microfluidic photoreactor (MFP) in high yield (up to >98%) and virtually complete diastereocontrol (>20:1 dr). The method is easily scaled-up to a parallel setup, furnishing 948 mg of product over a 14 h reaction time. Finally, a series of manipulations of the tetracyclic scaffold obtained gave access to valuable precursors of biologically active molecules.

Design, Synthesis and Cancer Cell Growth Inhibition Evaluation of New Aminoquinone Hybrid Molecules.

Project description:Molecular hybridization has proven to be a successful multi-target strategy in the design and development of new antitumor agents. Based on this rational approach, we have planned hybrid molecules containing covalently linked pharmacophoric units, present individually in compounds acting as inhibitors of the cancer protein targets tubulin, human topoisomerase II and ROCK1. Seven new molecules, selected by docking calculation of the complexes with each of the proteins taken into consideration, have been efficiently synthesized starting from 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphtoquinone or 6,7-dichloro-5,8-quinolinquinone. By screening the full National Cancer Institute (NCI) panel, including 60 human cancer cell lines, four molecules displayed good and sometimes better growth inhibition GI50 than the ROCK inhibitor Y-27632, the Topo II inhibitor podophyllotoxin and the tubulin inhibitor combretastatin A-4. The relative position of N,N heteroatoms in the structures of the tested compounds was crucial in affecting bioactivity and selectivity. Furthermore, compound 3 (2-(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenoxy)naphthalene-1,4-dione) emerged as the most active in the series, showing a potent and selective inhibition of breast cancer BT-549 cells (GI50 < 10 nM).

MCR synthesis of a tetracyclic tetrazole scaffold.

Project description:Scaffold diversity is key in the ongoing exercise of discovery of novel bioactive compounds using high throughput screening (HTS). Based on the Ugi tetrazole synthesis we have designed novel bi- and tri-cyclic scaffolds featuring interesting pharmacophore properties. The compounds of the scaffold (B) are synthesizable in large diversity and numbers in two steps using (hetero)phenylethylamines, HN3, oxo components and iscyanoacetaldehyde(dimethylacetale). The chemistry is amenable to parallel synthesis and is used to enhance and fill the screening decks of the European Lead factory (ELF). Here, we are reporting full experimental details, scope and limitations of the reaction, cheminformatic analysis and the 3D structures of selected compounds.

Design and synthesis of a library of tetracyclic hydroazulenoisoindoles.

Project description:Forty-four tetracyclic hydroazulenoisoindoles were synthesized via a tandem cyclopropanation/Cope rearrangement, followed by a Diels-Alder sequence from easily available five-membered cyclic cross-conjugated trienones. These trienones were obtained from two different routes depending upon whether R(1) and R(2) are alkyl or amino acid derived functional groups, via a rhodium(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization reaction. To increase diversity, four maleimides and two 1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-diones were used as dienophiles in the Diels-Alder step. Several Diels-Alder adducts were further reacted under palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions, leading to a diastereoselective reduction of the trisubstituted double bond. This library has demonstrated rapid access to a variety of structurally complex natural product-like compounds via stereochemical diversity and building block diversity approaches.

Biomimetic synthesis of the tetracyclic core of berkelic acid.

Project description:Acid-catalyzed condensation of 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid 3 with ketal aldehyde 14 in methanol at 25 degrees C, followed by CH2N2 esterification, gave a 4:1:4:1 mixture of diastereomers 15b-18b in 60% yield. Equilibration of this mixture with TFA in CDCl3 provided tetracycle 15b (83% yield) with the complete skeleton of berkelic acid. A similar condensation at 0 degrees C afforded 15b-18b and a reduction product 19b, which was probably formed by a 1,5-hydride shift.

Biomimetic approach to the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of tetracyclic isochroman.

Project description:Polyketide oligomers containing the structure of tetracyclic isochroman comprise a large class of natural products with diverse activity. However, a general and stereoselective method towards the rapid construction of this structure remains challenging due to the inherent instability and complex stereochemistry of polyketide. By mimicking the biosynthetic pathway of this structurally diverse set of natural products, we herein develop an asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of in-situ generated isochromene and ortho-quinonemethide. A broad range of tetracyclic isochroman frameworks are prepared in good yields and excellent stereoinduction (up to 95% ee) from readily available α-propargyl benzyl alcohols and 2-(hydroxylmethyl) phenols under mild conditions. This direct enantioselective cascade reaction is achieved by a Au(I)/chiral Sc(III) bimetallic catalytic system. Experimental studies indicate that the key hetero-Diels-Alder reaction involves a stepwise pathway, and the steric hindrance between in-situ generated isochromene and t-Bu group of Sc(III)/N,N'-dioxide complex is responsible for the enantioselectivity in the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction step.

Synthesis of the Tetracyclic Framework of Polycyclic Spiro Lignan Natural Products.

Project description:Polycyclic spiro lignans are a new family of lignan natural products recently isolated from Gymnotheca involucrata. The first synthesis of two model substrates of this rare family of natural products was achieved in six steps. An efficient strategy that features Suzuki coupling and Friedel-Crafts acylation was employed to construct the ABC tricyclic fluorene framework. Subsequently, Grignard reaction followed by acid-mediated cyclization furnished the spiro cyclic ether ring D.
