Divergent Synthesis of Natural Derivatives of (+)-Saxitoxin Including 11-Saxitoxinethanoic Acid.


ABSTRACT: The bis-guanidinium toxins are a collection of natural products that display nanomolar potency against select isoforms of eukaryotic voltage-gated Na+ ion channels. We describe a synthetic strategy that enables access to four of these poisons, namely 11-saxitoxinethanoic acid, C13-acetoxy saxitoxin, decarbamoyl saxitoxin, and saxitoxin. Highlights of this work include an unusual Mislow-Evans rearrangement and a late-stage Stille ketene acetal coupling. The IC50 value of 11-saxitoxinethanoic acid was measured against rat NaV 1.4, and found to be 17.0?nm, similar to those of the sulfated toxins gonyautoxin?II and III.
