Total synthesis of Septocylindrin B and C-terminus modified analogues.

ABSTRACT: The total synthesis is reported of the peptaibol Septocylindrin B which is related to the well documented channel forming peptaibol antibiotic Alamethicin. Several analogues were synthesized with a modified C-terminus, to investigate the SAR of the terminal residue Phaol. All these peptides were tested for their membrane perturbation properties by fluorescent dye leakage assay and for their antibacterial activity.

Total Chemical Synthesis of Modified Histones.

Project description:In the post-genome era, epigenetics has received increasing attentions in recent years. The post-translational modifications (PTMs) of four core histones play central roles in epigenetic regulation of eukaryotic genome by either directly altering the biophysical properties of nucleosomes or by recruiting other effector proteins. In order to study the biological functions and structural mechanisms of these histone PTMs, an obligatory step is to prepare a sufficient amount of homogeneously modified histones. This task cannot be fully accomplished either by recombinant technology or enzymatic modification. In this context, synthetic chemists have developed novel protein synthetic tools and state-of-the-art chemical ligation strategies for the preparation of homologous modified histones. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the preparation of modified histones, focusing on the total chemical synthesis strategies. The importance and potential of synthetic chemistry for the study of histone code will be also discussed.

Total synthesis of the natural product (±)-dibromophakellin and analogues.

Project description:(±)-Dibromophakellin has been synthesized in two steps from a known alkene intermediate. The key step in the synthesis is the NBS olefin activation to facilitate the addition of a guanidine molecule across the double bond.

Total Synthesis of Anti-MRSA Active Diorcinols and Analogues.

Project description:Diorcinols and related prenylated diaryl ethers were reported to exhibit activity against methicillin-resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Within these lines, we report the first total synthesis of diorcinol D, I, J, the proposed structure of verticilatin and recently isolated antibacterial diaryl ether by using an efficient and highly divergent synthetic strategy. These total syntheses furnish the diaryl ethers in only five to seven steps employing a Pd-catalyzed diaryl ether coupling as the key step. The total synthesis led to the structural revision of the natural product verticilatin, which has been isolated from a plant pathogenic fungus. Furthermore, these structures were tested in order to determine their antibacterial activities against different MRSA strains as well as further Gram-positive and -negative bacteria.

Synthesis and evaluation of amino-modified alpha-GalCer analogues.

Project description:Alpha-GalCer analogues featuring a phytoceramide 3- and 4-amino group have been synthesized. A Mitsunobu reaction involving phthalimide was employed for the introduction of the amino groups at the 3- and 4-positions of suitable phytosphingosine-derived precursors. The influence of these modifications on the interaction with the T-cell receptor of NKT cells was investigated, as well as the capacity of the amino-modified analogues to induce a cytokine response after in vivo administration.

Total synthesis of piericidin A1 and B1 and key analogues.

Project description:Full details of the total synthesis of piericidin A1 and B1 and its extension to the preparation of a series of key analogues are described including ent-piericidin A1 (ent-1), 4'-deshydroxypiericidin A1 (58), 5'-desmethylpiericidin A1 (73), 4'-deshydroxy-5'-desmethylpiericidin A1 (75), and the corresponding analogues 51, 59, 76, and 77 bearing a simplified farnesyl side chain. The evaluation of these key analogues, along with those derived from their further functionalizations, permitted a scan of the key structural features providing new insights into the role of the substituents found in both the pyridyl core as well as the side chain. A strategic late stage heterobenzylic Stille cross-coupling reaction of the pyridyl core with the fully elaborated side chain permitted ready access to the analogues in which each half of the molecule could be systematically and divergently modified. The pyridyl cores were assembled enlisting inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions of N-sulfonyl-1-azabutadienes, while key elements of side chain syntheses include an anti selective asymmetric aldol to install the C9 and C10 relative and absolute stereochemistry (for natural and ent-1) and a modified Julia olefination for formation of the C5-C6 trans double bond with convergent assemblage of the side chains.

Asymmetric total synthesis of vindorosine, vindoline, and key vinblastine analogues.

Project description:Concise asymmetric total syntheses of vindoline (1) and vindorosine (2) are detailed based on a unique intramolecular [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] cycloaddition cascade of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles inspired by the natural product structures. A chiral substituent on the tether linking the dienophile and oxadiazole was used to control the facial selectivity of the initiating Diels-Alder reaction and set the absolute stereochemistry of the remaining six stereocenters in the cascade cycloadduct. This key reaction introduced three rings and four C-C bonds central to the pentacyclic ring system setting all six stereocenters and introducing essentially all the functionality found in the natural products in a single step. Implementation of the approach for the synthesis of 1 and 2 required the development of a ring expansion reaction to provide a 6-membered ring suitably functionalized for introduction of the ?(6,7)-double bond found in the core structure of the natural products. Two unique approaches were developed that defined our use of a protected hydroxymethyl group as the substituent that controls the stereochemical course of the cycloaddition cascade. In the course of these studies, several analogues of vindoline were prepared containing deep-seated structural changes presently accessible only by total synthesis. These analogues, bearing key modifications at C6-C8, were incorporated into vinblastine analogues and used to probe the unusual importance (100-fold) and define the potential role of the vinblastine ?(6,7)-double bond.

Total synthesis and evaluation of phostriecin and key structural analogues.

Project description:Full details of the total synthesis of phostriecin (2), the assignment of its relative and absolute stereochemistry, and the resultant structural reassignment of the natural product previously represented as sultriecin (1), a phosphate versus sulfate monoester, are detailed. Studies with authentic material confirmed that phostriecin, but not sultriecin, is an effective and selective inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) defining a mechanism of action responsible for its antitumor activity. The extension of the studies to the synthesis and evaluation of a series of key synthetic analogues is disclosed that highlights the importance of the natural product phosphate monoester (vs sulfate or free alcohol, both inactive and >250-fold), the ?,?-unsaturated lactone (12-fold), and the hydrophobic Z,Z,E-triene tail (C12-C22, ca. 200-fold) including the unique importance of its unsaturation (50-fold, and no longer PP2A selective).

Solid-phase total synthesis of kahalalide A and related analogues.

Project description:The marine natural product kahalalide A, a cyclic depsipeptide, was prepared by total synthesis on solid-phase. A backbone cyclization strategy was followed, using the Kenner sulfonamide safety-catch linker. By NMR comparison of synthetic and naturally isolated material, the stereochemistry of the methylbutyrate side chain was established as (S). Several analogues were synthesized and tested for antimycobacterial activity. The results indicate that the alcohol functional group in the serine and threonine residues is important, while the methylbutyrate side chain can be replaced by an achiral hexanoate with an increase in activity.

Total Synthesis of Meayamycin and <i>O</i>-Acyl Analogues.

Project description:A short, scalable total synthesis of meayamycin is described by an approach that entails a longest linear sequence of 12 steps (22 steps overall) from commercially available chiral pool materials (ethyl l-lactate, BocNH-Thr-OH, and d-ribose) and introduces the most straightforward preparation of the right-hand subunit detailed to date. The use of the approach in the divergent synthesis of a representative series of O-acyl analogues is exemplified.
