Asymmetric Total Synthesis of the Naturally Occurring Antibiotic Anthracimycin.

ABSTRACT: The first total synthesis of the potent antibiotic anthracimycin was achieved in 20 steps. The synthesis features an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to forge the trans-decalin moiety, and an unprecedented aldol reaction using a complex β-ketoester to provide the tricarbonyl motif. A Stork-Zhao olefination and Grubbs ring closing metathesis delivered the E/Z-diene and forged the macrocycle. The C2 configuration was set with a base-mediated epimerization, providing access to (-)-anthracimycin.

Total Synthesis of Naturally Occurring 5,7,8-Trioxygenated Homoisoflavonoids.

Project description:Homoisoflavonoids are in the subclass of the larger family of flavonoids but have one more alkyl carbon than flavonoids. Among them, 5,7,8-trioxygenated homoisoflavonoids have not been extensively studied for synthesis and biological evaluation. Our current objective is to synthesize 2 5,7,8-trioxygenated chroman-4-ones and 12 5,7,8-trioxygenated homoisoflavonoids that have been isolated from the plants Bellevalia eigii, Drimiopsis maculata, Ledebouria graminifolia, Eucomis autumnalis, Eucomis punctata, Eucomis pallidiflora, Chionodoxa luciliae, Muscari comosum, and Dracaena cochinchinensis. For this purpose, 1,3,4,5-tetramethoxybenzene and 4'-benzyloxy-2',3'-dimethoxy-6'-hydroxyacetophenone were used as starting materials. Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation using Noyori's Ru catalyst provided 5,7,8-trioxygenated-3-benzylchroman-4-ones with R-configuration in high yield and enantiomeric excess. By selective deprotection of homoisoflavonoids using BCl3, the total synthesis of natural products including 10 first syntheses and three asymmetric syntheses has been completed, and three isomers of the reported dracaeconolide B could be provided. Our research on 5,7,8-trioxygenated homoisoflavonoids would be useful for the synthesis of related natural products and pharmacological applications.

Total Synthesis and Conformational Analysis of Naturally Occurring Lipovelutibols along with Lead Optimization of Lipovelutibol D.

Project description:Four lipopeptaibols, namely, lipovelutibols A-D, were recently isolated from psychrotrophic fungus Trichoderma velutinum and reported to have significant cytotoxic activity against HL-60, MDA-MD-231, A549, and LS180 cancer cell lines. In the present study, these peptides were synthesized in a solution using a segment condensation approach. The conformational analysis of these peptides carried out using CD spectrophotometry revealed the formation of 310-helix, and the NMR-VT experiments showed intramolecular hydrogen bonding for NH-5, NH-6, and NH-7. Lipovelutibol D showed potent cytotoxic activity and was chosen for lead optimization. It involved N- and C-terminal truncation, N- and C-terminal modification, random deletion, l/d configuration replacement, and other synthetic analogues. These were tested against various breast cancer cell lines. The C-terminal aldehyde analogue resulting from lead optimization of lipovelutibol D was found to have almost twofold enhanced cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines.

Asymmetric total synthesis of vindoline.

Project description:A concise asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-vindoline (1) is detailed based on a tandem intramolecular [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition cascade of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole inspired by the natural product structure, in which the tether linking the initiating dienophile and oxadiazole bears a chiral substituent that controls the facial selectivity of the initiating Diels-Alder reaction and sets absolute stereochemistry of the remaining six stereocenters in the cascade cycloadduct. This key reaction introduces 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 product in a single step. Implementation of the approach also required the development of a unique ring expansion reaction to provide a six-membered ring suitably functionalized for introduction of the Delta (6, 7)-double bond found in the core structure of vindoline and defined our use of a protected hydroxymethyl group as the substituent used to control the stereochemical course of the cycloaddition cascade.

Asymmetric total synthesis of pyranicin.

Project description:The asymmetric total synthesis of pyranicin (1) is reported. The butenolide ring was constructed via an asymmetric alkylation/ring-closing metathesis strategy. The three stereocenters in the left-hand tetrahydropyran ring were installed by sequential chiral auxiliary-mediated aldol reactions. Closure of the tetrahydropyran and fusion of the alkyl backbone were affected via a sequential ring-closing metathesis-cross-metathesis strategy.

Structure and synthesis of naturally occurring anhydrovitamin A2.

Project description:The structure of naturally occurring anhydrovitamin A2 was elucidated as 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol from study of its u.v.--visible, i.r., n.m.r. and mass spectra. The structure has been confirmed by a chemical synthesis. Saccobranchus fossils, a freshwater fish, can convert 3-hydroxyretinol into 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol, which in turn is converted into-3-dehydroretinol. Chemical conversion of 3-hydroxyretinol into 3-dehydroretinol was also carried out.

An asymmetric total synthesis of brevisamide.

Project description:An enantioselective synthesis of marine alkaloid brevisamide was accomplished in a convergent manner. The synthesis utilized an enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction which sets three chiral centers in compound 11. The synthesis also features a modified Wolff-Kishner reduction, Rubottom oxidation, and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling to furnish brevisamide.

Asymmetric total synthesis of ent-cyclooroidin.

Project description:An enantiospecific total synthesis of the pyrrole-imidazole natural product cyclooroidin from histidine is described. The key N1-C9 bond is constructed through an intramolecular SN2-type of reaction of a chloro ester. Subsequent imidazole azidation at the 2-position, pyrrole bromination, azide reduction, and deprotection leads to the completion of the synthesis.

Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Ieodomycin B.

Project description:Ieodomycin B, which shows in vitro antimicrobial activity, was isolated from a marine Bacillus species. A novel asymmetric total synthetic approach to ieodomycin B using commercially available geraniol was achieved. The approach involves the generation of 1,3-trans-dihydroxyl at C-3 and C-5 positions via a Crimmins-modified Evans aldol reaction and a chelation-controlled Mukaiyama aldol reaction of a p-methoxybenzyl-protected aldehyde, as well as the generation of a lactone ring in a deprotection-lactonization one-pot reaction.

Naturally-Occurring Alkaloids of Plant Origin as Potential Antimicrobials against Antibiotic-Resistant Infections.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance is now considered a worldwide problem that puts public health at risk. The onset of bacterial strains resistant to conventional antibiotics and the scarcity of new drugs have prompted scientific research to re-evaluate natural products as molecules with high biological and chemical potential. A class of natural compounds of significant importance is represented by alkaloids derived from higher plants. In this review, we have collected data obtained from various research groups on the antimicrobial activities of these alkaloids against conventional antibiotic-resistant strains. In addition, the structure-function relationship was described and commented on, highlighting the high potential of alkaloids as antimicrobials.
