Total synthesis and biological evaluation of the tetramic acid based natural product harzianic acid and its stereoisomers.

ABSTRACT: The bioactive natural product harzianic acid was prepared for the first time in just six steps (longest linear sequence) with an overall yield of 22%. The identification of conditions to telescope amide bond formation and a Lacey-Dieckmann reaction into one pot proved important. The three stereoisomers of harzianic acid were also prepared, providing material for comparison of their biological activity. While all of the isomers promoted root growth, improved antifungal activity was unexpectedly associated with isomers in the enantiomeric series opposite that of harzianic acid.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of (-)-dictyostatin and stereoisomers.

Project description:Total syntheses of (-)-dictyostatin, 6,16-bis-epi-dictyostatin, 6,14,19-tris-epi-dictyostatin and a number of other isomers and analogs are reported. Three main fragments-top, middle and bottom-were first assembled and then joined by olefination or anionic addition reactions. After appending the two dienes at either end of the molecule, macrolactonization and deprotection completed the syntheses. The work proves both the relative and absolute configurations of (-)-dictyostatin. The compounds were evaluated by cell-based measurements of increased microtubule mass and antiproliferative activity, and in vitro tubulin polymerization assays as well as competitive assays with paclitaxel for its binding site on microtubules. These assays showed dictyostatin to be the most potent of the agents and further showed that the structural alterations caused from 20- to >1000-fold decreases in activity.

Biomimetic Total Synthesis and the Biological Evaluation of Natural Product (-)-Fargesone A as a Novel FXR Agonist.

Project description:Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, plays an important role in maintaining or reversing metabolic homeostasis during the development of liver diseases. However, developing FXR modulators to intervene in FXR-related diseases is still an unmet clinical need. Therefore, it is significant to develop novel small-molecule agonists for drug discovery targeting FXR. Through a high-throughput chemical screen and follow-up biological validations, we first identified the natural product Fargesone A (FA) as a potent and selective FXR agonist. The limited, variable supply of FA from natural product isolation, however, has impeded its biological exploration and potential drug development. Accordingly, we have developed a biomimetic and scalable total synthesis of FA in nine steps that provides a solution to the supply of FA. Enabled by chemical synthesis, the in vivo efficacy of FA has been further investigated. The results showed that FA alleviates hepatocyte lipid accumulation and cell death in an FXR-dependent manner. Moreover, treatment of bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced liver disorder with FA ameliorates pathological features in mice. Therefore, our work lays the foundation to develop new small-molecule FXR agonists as a potential therapy for liver diseases.

Total Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Apratoxin E and Its C30 Epimer: Configurational Reassignment of the Natural Product.

Project description:Apratoxin E provided the inspiration for the design of apratoxin A/E hybrids under preclinical development. Through total synthesis using two different strategies, it was determined that the originally proposed configuration of the thiazoline at C30 is opposite from that in apratoxin A, in contrast to previous assumptions on biosynthetic grounds. The epimer and true natural apratoxin E were synthesized, and the biological activities were evaluated.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Natural Product Lipoxazolidinone?A.

Project description:Natural products have historically been a major source of antibiotics and therefore novel scaffolds are constantly of interest. The lipoxazolidinone family of marine natural products, with an unusual 4-oxazolidinone heterocycle at their core, represents a new scaffold for antimicrobial discovery; however, questions regarding their mechanism of action and high lipophilicity have likely slowed follow-up studies. Herein, we report the first synthesis of lipoxazolidinone?A, 15 structural analogues to explore its active pharmacophore, and initial resistance and mechanism of action studies. These results suggest that 4-oxazolidinones are valuable scaffolds for antimicrobial development and reveal simplified lead compounds for further optimization.

Concise Total Synthesis and Antifungal Activities of Fusaric Acid, a Natural Product.

Project description:The total synthesis of a natural product alkaloid fusaric acid (FA), which exhibits herbicide, fungicide, insecticide and even diverse notable pharmacological activities, was accomplished in four steps using commercially available materials. The synthesis, based on a unified and flexible strategy using 6-bromonicotinaldehyde as a common intermediate, is concise, convergent, practical and can be carried out on a two-gram scale. This approach could be readily applicable to the synthesis of its analogues. In addition, FA had a wide range of inhibitory activities against 14 plant pathogenic fungi in this study, which demonstrated that as a leading compound, and it has great potential to be further developed as an agricultural fungicide.

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.

Design, synthesis and microbiological evaluation of ampicillin-tetramic acid hybrid antibiotics.

Project description:Exploiting iron-uptake pathways by conjugating ?-lactam antibiotics with iron-chelators, such as catechol and hydroxamic acid is a proven strategy to overcome permeability-related resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. As naturally occurring iron-chelating tetramic acids have not been previously examined for this purpose, an exploratory series of novel ampicillin-tetramic acid hybrids that structurally resemble ureidopenicillins was designed and synthesized. The new analogs were evaluated for the ability to chelate iron and their MIC activities determined against a representative panel of clinically significant bacterial pathogens. The tetramic acid ?-lactam hybrids demonstrated a high affinity to iron in the order of 10-30 M3. The hybrids were less active against Gram-positive bacteria. However, against Gram-negative bacteria, their activity was species dependent with several hybrids displaying improved activity over ampicillin against wild-type Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The anti-Gram-negative activities of the hybrids improved in the presence of clavulanic acid revealing that the tetramic acid moiety did not provide added protection against ?-lactamases. In addition, the hybrids were found to be efflux pump substrates as their activities markedly improved against pump-inactivated strains. Unlike the catechol and hydroxamic acid siderophore ?-lactam conjugates, the activities of the hybrids did not improve under iron-deficient conditions. These results suggest that the tetramic acid hybrids gain permeability via different membrane receptors, or they are outcompeted by native bacterial siderophores with stronger affinities for iron. This study provides a foundation for the further exploitation of the tetramic acid moiety to achieve novel ?-lactam anti-Gram-negative agents, providing that efflux and ?-lactamase mediated resistance is addressed.

Total Synthesis of Callyspongiolide: An Anticancer Marine Natural Product.

Project description:The stereoselective total synthesis of cytotoxic marine macrolide callyspongiolide has been reported. The 14-membered macrolactone ring along with Z-olefin in the molecule was constructed via an intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination in a Z-selective fashion. The other E-olefinic moiety as well as the C9 stereocenter was introduced via stereoselective addition of the methyl group in an SN2' fashion. The C5 stereocenter was installed via Sakurai allylation, whereas the C7 center was fixed by Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution. The C12 methyl and C13 hydroxy centers were fixed via Macmillan coupling reaction. The macrolactone core with a vinyl iodide side chain was coupled with the known alkyne fragment to complete the synthesis.
