A general enantioselective route to the chamigrene natural product family.

ABSTRACT: Described in this report is an enantioselective route toward the chamigrene natural product family. The key disconnections in our synthetic approach include sequential enantioselective decarboxylative allylation and ring-closing olefin metathesis to form the all-carbon quaternary stereocenter and spirocyclic core present in all members of this class of compounds. The generality of this strategy is demonstrated by the first total syntheses of elatol and the proposed structure of laurencenone B, as well as the first enantioselective total syntheses of laurencenone C and ?-chamigrene. A brief exploration of the substrate scope of the enantioselective decarboxylative allylation/ring-closing metathesis sequence with fully substituted vinyl chlorides is also presented.

Combining asymmetric catalysis with natural product functionalization through enantioselective alpha-fluorination.

Project description:An examination into the derivatization of various natural products using newly developed alpha-fluorination methodology is disclosed. An activated ketene enolate, generated from an acid chloride, is allowed to react with an electrophilic fluorine source (NFSi). Quenching the reaction with a nucleophilic natural product produces biologically relevant alpha-fluorinated carbonyl derivatives of select chemotherapeutics, antibiotics, and other pharmaceuticals.

An enantioselective, modular, and general route to the cytochalasins: synthesis of L-696,474 and cytochalasin B.

Project description:The cytochalasins are structurally complex natural products with a broad range of apparently unrelated effects in different biological systems. Different members of the family have variously demonstrated inhibitory activity toward the formation of actin filaments, toward the functioning of HIV protease, and toward the process of angiogenesis. The structural series is defined by a largely conserved, rigid bicyclic isoindolone core that is fused to a macrocyclic appendage. The latter structural component varies widely within the cytochalasins and seems to play an important role in the determination of biological activity. In this work, we describe the development of a convergent and enantioselective synthetic route to the cytochalasins that allows for the late-stage introduction of macrocyclic appendages of different sizes and constitutions. We illustrate the route with the synthesis of the 14-membered macrolactone cytochalasin B (1, an inhibitor of the formation of actin filaments) and the 11-membered macrocarbocyclic cytochalasin L-696,474 (2, an inhibitor of HIV protease) by using common precursors.

Formal total syntheses of classic natural product target molecules via palladium-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation.

Project description:Pd-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation in conjunction with further synthetic elaboration enables the formal total syntheses of a number of "classic" natural product target molecules. This publication highlights recent methods for setting quaternary and tetrasubstituted tertiary carbon stereocenters to address the synthetic hurdles encountered over many decades across multiple compound classes spanning carbohydrate derivatives, terpenes, and alkaloids. These enantioselective methods will impact both academic and industrial settings, where the synthesis of stereogenic quaternary carbons is a continuing challenge.

A novel route to product specificity in the Suv4-20 family of histone H4K20 methyltransferases.

Project description:The delivery of site-specific post-translational modifications to histones generates an epigenetic regulatory network that directs fundamental DNA-mediated processes and governs key stages in development. Methylation of histone H4 lysine-20 has been implicated in DNA repair, transcriptional silencing, genomic stability and regulation of replication. We present the structure of the histone H4K20 methyltransferase Suv4-20h2 in complex with its histone H4 peptide substrate and S-adenosyl methionine cofactor. Analysis of the structure reveals that the Suv4-20h2 active site diverges from the canonical SET domain configuration and generates a high degree of both substrate and product specificity. Together with supporting biochemical data comparing Suv4-20h1 and Suv4-20h2, we demonstrate that the Suv4-20 family enzymes take a previously mono-methylated H4K20 substrate and generate an exclusively di-methylated product. We therefore predict that other enzymes are responsible for the tri-methylation of histone H4K20 that marks silenced heterochromatin.

Expanding the Myxochelin Natural Product Family by Nicotinic Acid Containing Congeners.

Project description:Myxobacteria represent a viable source of chemically diverse and biologically active secondary metabolites. The myxochelins are a well-studied family of catecholate-type siderophores produced by various myxobacterial strains. Here, we report the discovery, isolation, and structure elucidation of three new myxochelins N1-N3 from the terrestrial myxobacterium Corallococcus sp. MCy9049, featuring an unusual nicotinic acid moiety. Precursor-directed biosynthesis (PDB) experiments and total synthesis were performed in order to confirm structures, improve access to pure compounds for bioactivity testing, and to devise a biosynthesis proposal. The combined evaluation of metabolome and genome data covering myxobacteria supports the notion that the new myxochelin congeners reported here are in fact frequent side products of the known myxochelin A biosynthetic pathway in myxobacteria.

Natural product derivative Gossypolone inhibits Musashi family of RNA-binding proteins.

Project description:BackgroundThe Musashi (MSI) family of RNA-binding proteins is best known for the role in post-transcriptional regulation of target mRNAs. Elevated MSI1 levels in a variety of human cancer are associated with up-regulation of Notch/Wnt signaling. MSI1 binds to and negatively regulates translation of Numb and APC (adenomatous polyposis coli), negative regulators of Notch and Wnt signaling respectively.MethodsPreviously, we have shown that the natural product (-)-gossypol as the first known small molecule inhibitor of MSI1 that down-regulates Notch/Wnt signaling and inhibits tumor xenograft growth in vivo. Using a fluorescence polarization (FP) competition assay, we identified gossypolone (Gn) with a > 20-fold increase in Ki value compared to (-)-gossypol. We validated Gn binding to MSI1 using surface plasmon resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, and cellular thermal shift assay, and tested the effects of Gn on colon cancer cells and colon cancer DLD-1 xenografts in nude mice.ResultsIn colon cancer cells, Gn reduced Notch/Wnt signaling and induced apoptosis. Compared to (-)-gossypol, the same concentration of Gn is less active in all the cell assays tested. To increase Gn bioavailability, we used PEGylated liposomes in our in vivo studies. Gn-lip via tail vein injection inhibited the growth of human colon cancer DLD-1 xenografts in nude mice, as compared to the untreated control (P < 0.01, n = 10).ConclusionOur data suggest that PEGylation improved the bioavailability of Gn as well as achieved tumor-targeted delivery and controlled release of Gn, which enhanced its overall biocompatibility and drug efficacy in vivo. This provides proof of concept for the development of Gn-lip as a molecular therapy for colon cancer with MSI1/MSI2 overexpression.

A General Strategy for the Synthesis of Truxinate Natural Products Enabled by Enantioselective [2+2] Photocycloadditions.

Project description:Pseudodimeric cyclobutanes constitute a large class of natural products that could, in principle, be efficiently synthesized via [2+2] photocycloadditions. However, the difficulty in developing chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective cycloadditions has limited their use in asymmetric syntheses. Herein, we show that chiral acid catalysts promote highly selective visible-light photocycloadditions, the products of which can be quickly transformed into truxinate natural products. This general approach has enabled the synthesis of both dimeric and pseudodimeric cyclobutane natural products with excellent enantioselectivity.

A highly enantioselective intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition yields novel pseudo-natural product inhibitors of the Hedgehog signalling pathway.

Project description:De novo combination of natural product (NP) fragments by means of efficient, complexity- and stereogenic character-generating transformations to yield pseudo-natural products (PNPs) may explore novel biologically relevant chemical space. Pyrrolidine- and tetrahydroquinoline fragments rarely occur in combination in nature, such that PNPs that embody both fragments might represent novel NP-inspired chemical matter endowed with bioactivity. We describe the synthesis of pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines by means of a highly enantioselective intramolecular exo-1,3-dipolar cycloaddition catalysed by the AgOAc/(S)-DMBiphep complex. The cycloadditions proceeded in excellent yields (up to 98%) and with very high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). Investigation of the resulting PNP collection in cell-based assays monitoring different biological programmes led to the discovery of a structurally novel and potent inhibitor of the Hedgehog signalling pathway that targets the Smoothened protein.

Family-level stereoselective synthesis and biological evaluation of pyrrolomorpholine spiroketal natural product antioxidants.

Project description:The pyranose spiroketal natural products pollenopyrroside A and shensongine A (also known as xylapyrroside A, ent-capparisine B) have been synthesized by stereoselective spirocyclizations of a common C1-functionalized glycal precursor. In conjunction with our previously reported syntheses of the corresponding furanose isomers, this provides a versatile family-level synthesis of the pyrrolomorpholine spiroketal natural products and analogues. In rat mesangial cells, hyperglycemia-induced production of reactive oxygen species, which is implicated in diabetic nephropathy, was inhibited by pollenopyrroside A and shensongine A with mid-?M IC50 values, while unnatural C2-hydroxy analogues exhibited more potent, sub-?M activity.
