Lactones 41. Synthesis and microbial hydroxylation of unsaturated terpenoid lactones with p-menthane ring systems.

ABSTRACT: Racemic [(±)-4-isopropyl-1-methyl-7-oxa-cis-bicyclo[4.3.0]non-4-en-8-one] and optically active ?,?-unsaturated lactones [(-)-(1R,6R)-4-isopropyl-1-methyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]non-4-en-8-one and (+)-(1S,6S)-4-isopropyl-1-methyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.3.0] non-4-en-8-one)] with the p-menthane system were obtained and their odoriferous properties were evaluated. Biotransformations of the racemic lactone with three fungal strains: Absidia cylindrospora AM336, Absidia glauca AM177 and Syncephalastrum racemosum AM105, were carried out. Microbial transformations afforded hydroxylactones with the hydroxy group in the allylic position.

Synthesis and Biotransformation of Bicyclic Unsaturated Lactones with Three or Four Methyl Groups.

Project description:The aim of this study was to obtain new unsaturated lactones by chemical synthesis and their microbial transformations using fungal strains. Some of these strains were able to transform unsaturated lactones into different hydroxy or epoxy derivatives. Strains of Syncephalastrum racemosum and Absidia cylindrospora gave products with a hydroxy group introduced into a tertiary carbon, while the Penicillium vermiculatum strain hydroxylated primary carbons. The Syncephalastrum racemosum strain hydroxylated both substrates in an allylic position. Using the Absidia cylindrospora and Penicillium vermiculatum strains led to the obtained epoxylactones. The structures of all lactones were established on the basis of spectroscopic data.

Substrate encapsulation: an efficient strategy for the RCM synthesis of unsaturated epsilon-lactones.

Project description:A facile substrate-encapsulated RCM-based synthesis of 7-membered lactones is reported. Coordination of the alpha,omega-dienyl ester precursor to the bulky Lewis acid (LA) aluminum tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH) provides a protective extended steric pocket to the olefin moieties, thereby favoring intramolecular RCM over intermolecular ADMET oligomerization. The LA-encapsulated esters undergo ring-closure in the presence of Ru-based olefin metathesis catalysts to give previously difficult-to-access 7-membered beta,gamma- and gamma,delta-unsaturated lactones in good yields.

Asymmetric Synthesis of ?-Lactones through Koga Amine-Controlled Addition of Enediolates to ?,?-Unsaturated Sulfoxonium Salts.

Project description:A chiral Koga amine-controlled asymmetric synthesis of cis-?-lactones through a formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition of enediolates with ?,?-unsaturated sulfoxonium salts is described. The desired structural motif was formed in moderate to good yields (50-71% for 13 examples), with good to very good diastereoselectivity (dr 5:1 to 10:1 for 20 examples), favoring the cis-isomer, and good to excellent enantioselectivity (70-91% ee for 13 examples).

Fluorinated ?-Lactones and Poly(?-hydroxyalkanoate)s: Synthesis via Epoxide Carbonylation and Ring-Opening Polymerization.

Project description:Efficient and mild reaction conditions were developed for the catalytic carbonylation of fluorinated epoxides to their corresponding ?-lactones. Six new lactones with fluorinated side chains were prepared in high isolated yields. These lactones were polymerized to form a series of new poly(?-hydroxyalkanoate)s with fluorinated side chains, and their properties were examined with respect to their hydrocarbon analogs. Finally, copolymerizations were performed with fluorinated lactones and ?-butyrolactone, which resulted in tapered copolymers rather than the expected random copolymers.

Electrophilic reactivities of cyclic enones and α,β-unsaturated lactones.

Project description:The reactivities of cyclic enones and α,β-unsaturated lactones were characterized by following the kinetics of their reactions with colored carbon-centered reference nucleophiles in DMSO at 20 °C. The experimentally determined second-order rate constants k 2 were analyzed with the Mayr-Patz equation, lg k = s N(N + E), to furnish the electrophilicity descriptors E for the Michael acceptors. Cyclic enones and lactones show different reactivity trends than their acyclic analogs. While cyclization reduces the reactivity of enones slightly, α,β-unsaturated lactones are significantly more reactive Michael acceptors than analogously substituted open-chain esters. The observed reactivity trends were rationalized through quantum-chemically calculated Gibbs energy profiles (at the SMD(DMSO)/M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory) and distortion interaction analysis for the reactions of the cyclic Michael acceptors with a sulfonium ylide. The electrophilicities of simplified electrophilic fragments reflect the general reactivity pattern of structurally more complex terpene-derived cyclic enones and sesquiterpene lactones, such as parthenolide.

Development of Potential Antitumor Agents from the Scaffolds of Plant-Derived Terpenoid Lactones.

Project description:Naturally occurring terpenoid lactones and their synthetic derivatives have attracted increasing interest for their promising antitumor activity and potential utilization in the discovery and design of new antitumor agents. In the present perspective article, selected plant-derived five-membered γ-lactones and six-membered δ-lactones that occur with terpenoid scaffolds are reviewed, with their structures, cancer cell line cytotoxicity and in vivo antitumor activity, structure-activity relationships, mechanism of action, and the potential for developing cancer chemotherapeutic agents discussed in each case. The compounds presented include artemisinin (ART, 1), parthenolide (PTL, 2), thapsigargin (TPG, 3), andrographolide (AGL, 4), ginkgolide B (GKL B, 5), jolkinolide B (JKL B, 6), nagilactone E (NGL E, 7), triptolide (TPL, 8), bruceantin (BRC, 9), dichapetalin A (DCT A, 10), and limonin (LMN, 11), and their naturally occurring analogues and synthetic derivatives. It is hoped that this contribution will be supportive of the future development of additional efficacious anticancer agents derived from natural products.

C-ring cannabinoid lactones: a novel cannabinergic chemotype.

Project description:As a part of our controlled-deactivation ligand development project, we recently disclosed a series of (-)-?(8)-tetrahydrocannabinols (THCs) with a metabolically labile ester group at the 2'-position of the side chain. Now, we have replaced the C-ring in the classical THC structure with a hydrolyzable seven-membered lactone. One of the synthesized analogues binds with high affinity to the CB1 receptor (K i = 4.6 nM) and exhibits much lower affinities for the mCB2 and the hCB2. Also, in vitro functional characterization found the compound to be an agonist at rCB1. Consistent with our rational design, the lead cannabinergic lactone identified here is susceptible to metabolic inactivation by plasma esterases, while the respective acid metabolite is inactive at CB receptors. These results are highlighted with molecular modeling of the two regiosomeric lactones.

A Polyketide Cyclase That Forms Medium-Ring Lactones.

Project description:Medium-ring lactones are synthetically challenging due to unfavorable energetics involved in cyclization. We have discovered a thioesterase enzyme DcsB, from the decarestrictine C1 (1) biosynthetic pathway, that efficiently performs medium-ring lactonizations. DcsB shows broad substrate promiscuity toward linear substrates that vary in lengths and substituents, and is a potential biocatalyst for lactonization. X-ray crystal structure and computational analyses provide insights into the molecular basis of catalysis.

Cryptic indole hydroxylation by a non-canonical terpenoid cyclase parallels bacterial xenobiotic detoxification.

Project description:Terpenoid natural products comprise a wide range of molecular architectures that typically result from C-C bond formations catalysed by classical type I/II terpene cyclases. However, the molecular diversity of biologically active terpenoids is substantially increased by fully unrelated, non-canonical terpenoid cyclases. Their evolutionary origin has remained enigmatic. Here we report the in vitro reconstitution of an unusual flavin-dependent bacterial indoloterpenoid cyclase, XiaF, together with a designated flavoenzyme-reductase (XiaP) that mediates a key step in xiamycin biosynthesis. The crystal structure of XiaF with bound FADH2 (at 2.4?Å resolution) and phylogenetic analyses reveal that XiaF is, surprisingly, most closely related to xenobiotic-degrading enzymes. Biotransformation assays show that XiaF is a designated indole hydroxylase that can be used for the production of indigo and indirubin. We unveil a cryptic hydroxylation step that sets the basis for terpenoid cyclization and suggest that the cyclase has evolved from xenobiotics detoxification enzymes.
