Total Synthesis (+)-7-Bromotrypargine and Unnatural Analogs: Biological Evaluation Uncovers Activity at CNS Targets of Therapeutic Relevance.

ABSTRACT: The first total synthesis of (+)-7-bromotrypargine, a β-carboline alkaloid from Ancornia sp. is reported. The synthesis proceeds in 9 steps, 8 steps longest linear sequence, in 36.9% overall yield. Biological characterization found that (+)-7-bromotrypargine is an H(3) antagonist, and a selective inhibitor of DAT and NET, without inhibiting SERT. Moreover, unlike electron rich congeners, (+)-7-bromotrypargine is not cytotoxic, and thus represents an attractive starting point for chemical optimization; therefore, we piloted a number of chemistries for the synthesis of unnatural analogs.

Total synthesis and biological evaluation of phidianidines A and B uncovers unique pharmacological profiles at CNS targets.

Project description:The synthesis of phidianidines A and B, the first 1,2,4-oxadiazole-containing alkaloid, from the marine opisthobranch mollusk Phidiana militaris is reported. The synthesis proceeds in six steps from known indole acetic acids in 39.9% (phidianidine A) and 21% (phidianidine B) overall yields from commercially available materials. Biological characterization found that phidianidines A and B are selective inhibitors of DAT (versus SERT and NET) and a selective, potent ligand and partial agonist of the ? opioid receptor (versus ?- and ?-opioid receptors). Moreover, neither phidianidines A and B are cytotoxic, and thus represent an attractive starting point for chemical optimization; therefore, we piloted a number of chemistries and prepared a diverse series of unnatural analogs.

Total synthesis of Ciliatamides A-C: stereochemical revision and the natural product-guided synthesis of unnatural analogs.

Project description:The first total synthesis of Ciliatamides A-C was completed, leading to a revision of the reported stereochemistry from (S,S) to the (R,R) enantiomers. Due to the expedited route, a library of over 50 unnatural ciliatamide analogs was also prepared.

Total Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Ipomoeassin F and Its Unnatural 11R-Epimer.

Project description:Ipomoeassin F, a macrolide glycoresin containing an embedded disaccharide, possesses potent in vitro antitumor activity with an unknown mechanism of function. It inhibits tumor cell growth with single-digit nanomolar IC50 values, superior to many clinical chemotherapeutic drugs. To facilitate translation of its bioactivity into protein function for drug development, we report here a new synthesis for the gram-scale production of ipomoeassin F (3.8% over 17 linear steps) from commercially available starting materials. The conformation-controlled subtle reactivity differences of the hydroxyl groups in carbohydrates were utilized to quickly construct the disaccharide core, which, along with judicial selection of protecting groups, made the current synthesis very efficient. The same strategy was also applied to the smooth preparation of the 11R-epimer of ipomoeassin F for the first time. Cytotoxicity assays demonstrated the crucial role of the natural 11S configuration. In addition, cell cycle analyses and apoptosis assays on ipomoeassin F and/or its epimer were conducted. This work has laid a solid foundation for understanding the medicinal potential of the ipomoeassin family of glycolipids in the future.

Total synthesis of neopeltolide and analogs.

Project description:Neopeltolide, a potent cytotoxin from a Carribean sponge, was synthesized through a brief sequence that highlights the use of ethers as oxocarbenium ion precursors. Other key steps include an acid-mediated etherification and sequence that features a Sonogashira reaction, an intramolecular alkyne hydrosilylation reaction, and a Tamao oxidation. The alkene that is required for the oxidative cyclization can be hydrogenated to provide access to the natural product or an epimer, or can be epoxidized or dihydroxylated to form polar analogs.

Studies toward the total synthesis of Itralamide B and biological evaluation of its structural analogs.

Project description:Itralamides A and B were isolated from the lipophilic extract of Lyngbya majuscula collected from the eastern Caribbean. Itralamide B (1) showed cytotoxic activity towards human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293, IC50 = 6 μM). Preliminary studies disapproved the proposed stereochemistry of itralamide. In this paper, we will provide a full account of the total synthesis of four stereoisomers of itralamide B and the results derived from biological tests of these structural congeners.

Enantioselective total synthesis of the unnatural enantiomer of quinine.

Project description:A practical enantioselective total synthesis of the unnatural (+)-quinine and (-)-9-epi-quinine enantiomers, which are important organocatalysts, is reported. The key transformation is a successive organocatalytic formal aza [3 + 3] cycloaddition/Strecker-type cyanation reaction to form an optically active tetrasubstituted piperidine derivative. This organocatalytic reaction proceeded in high yield and gave excellent enantiomeric excess with only 0.5 mol% catalyst loading. In addition, an imidate group, derived from a cyano group, was incorporated in the strategy for site-selective modification of the C4-alkyl chiral piperidine ring of quinine. Furthermore, an efficient coupling between the quinuclidine precursor and dihydroquinoline unit was achieved on a gram scale. The 15-step (LLS) synthetic protocol provided both (+)-quinine and (-)-9-epi-quinine, each with 16% overall yield.

Total Synthesis of Hinduchelins A-D, Stereochemical Revision of Hinduchelin A, and Biological Evaluation of Natural and Unnatural Analogues.

Project description:Here, we report the first total synthesis of hinduchelins A-D, a family of nontoxic catechol derivatives from Streptoalloteichus hindustanus, possessing a druglike chemotype and modest iron-chelating ability. A concise synthesis was developed employing methyl 5-methyloxazole-4-carboxylate as a single starting material to provide hinduchelins A-D (and unnatural analogues) in only four steps and 5-15% overall yields; moreover, the stereochemistry of hinduchelin A was reassigned from ( S) to ( R). Biological evaluation confirmed that natural and unnatural hinduchelins are weak iron chelators (siderophores).

Improved Synthesis for Modular Ascarosides Uncovers Biological Activity.

Project description:A versatile synthesis of modular ascarosides, a family of signaling molecules from Caenorhabditis elegans and other nematodes, via hydrogenolysis of a cyclic sulfate derived from methyl-α-l-rhamnopyranoside is reported. The route enables selective introduction of different side chains at the 1, 2, and 4 positions of the sugar, as demonstrated for ascarosides from C. elegans and Pristionchus pacificus. Bioassays with synthetic samples of 4'-tigloyl ascaroside mbas#3 revealed its role as an avoidance or dispersal signal.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of neopeltolide and analogs.

Project description:The synthesis of neopeltolide analogues that contain variations in the oxazole-containing side chain and in the macrolide core are reported along with the GI(50) values for these compounds against MCF-7, HCT-116, and p53 knockout HCT-116 cell lines. Although biological activity is sensitive to changes in the macrocycle and the side chain, several analogues displayed GI(50) values of <25 nM. Neopeltolide and several of the more potent analogues were significantly less potent against p53 knockout cells, suggesting that p53 plays an auxiliary role in the activity of these compounds.

Unnatural C-1 homologues of pancratistatin - Synthesis and promising biological activities.

Project description:Several C-1 homologues of pancratistatin and 7-deoxypancratistatin were synthesized by a phenanthrene-phenathridone oxidative recyclization strategy. The key steps involved the enzymatic dihydroxylation of bromobenzene, addition of an aryl alane to an epoxyaziridine, an intramolecular aziridine opening on silica gel in solid phase, and the above-mentioned recylization strategy. Experimental and spectral data are reported for all new compounds. All synthesized C-1 homologues of pancratistatin and 7-deoxypancratistatin were evaluated for antiproliferative activity in a panel of human cancer cell lines. As expected, the 7-hydroxy compounds were found to be more potent and the activity of the C-1 benzoxymethyl analogue exceeded that of narciclasine, which was used as a positive control.
