Project description:An archazolid natural product fragment that displays dose-dependent inhibition of the vacuolar-type ATPase (VATPase) has been synthesized by a high-yielding Suzuki coupling of two complex subunits. Similarly, a further simplified fragment was prepared and evaluated for VATPase inhibitory activity. This compound did inhibit the VATPase, as evidenced by growth inhibition of etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings, however at approximately 10× lower potency than the more complex fragment. Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme inhibition was not observed for either fragment.

Project description:Prognosis for patients suffering from T-ALL is still very poor and new strategies for T-ALL treatment are urgently needed. Our study shows potent anti-leukemic effects of the myxobacterial V-ATPase inhibitor Archazolid A. Archazolid A reduced growth and potently induced death of leukemic cell lines and human leukemic samples. By inhibiting lysosomal acidification, Archazolid A blocked activation of the Notch pathway, however, this was not the mechanism of V-ATPase inhibition relevant for cell death induction. In fact, V-ATPase inhibition by Archazolid A decreased the anti-apoptotic protein survivin. As underlying mode of action, this work is in line with recent studies from our group demonstrating that Archazolid A induced S-phase cell cycle arrest by interfering with the iron metabolism in leukemic cells. Our study provides evidence for V-ATPase inhibition as a potential new therapeutic option for T-ALL.

Project description:The synthesis of a new "eastern domain" of a proposed dihydroarchazolid analogue is described along with initial results from attempted macrocyclization by RCM. This work has revealed a competing backbiting process that may be preventable by alcohol functionalization and installation of a metathesis relay.

Project description:A modular total synthesis of kibdelomycin is disclosed that should enable structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of this interesting class of antibiotics. The route uses simple building blocks and addresses lingering questions about its structural assignment and relationship to amycolamicin, a recently described natural product reported to have a similar structure. Initial antibacterial assays reveal that both C-22 epimers (the N-glycosidic linkage) of the natural product have similar activity while structurally truncated analogs lose activity.

Project description:Avenaol, isolated from the allelopathic plant black oat, was the first C20 germination stimulant related to strigolactones. Structurally, it consisted of a bicyclo[4.1.0]heptanone skeleton containing a cyclopropane ring bearing three main chains projecting in the same direction (i.e. all-cis-substituted cyclopropane). Herein, we report the total synthesis of avenaol using a robust strategy involving the formation of an all-cis-substituted cyclopropane via an alkylidenecyclopropane. The key factors in the success of this total synthesis include the Rh-catalysed intramolecular cyclopropanation of an allene, an Ir-catalysed stereoselective double-bond isomerisation, and the differentiation of two hydroxymethyl groups via the regioselective formation and oxidation of a tetrahydropyran based on the reactivity of a cyclopropyl group. This strategy effectively avoids the undesired ring opening of the cyclopropane ring and the formation of a caged structure. Furthermore, this study confirms the proposed structure of avenaol, including its unique all-cis-substituted cyclopropane moiety.Avenaol is a potent germination stimulant that can be extracted from black oat. Here, the authors report the total synthesis of avenaol by developing a strategy to access all-cis-substituted cyclopropanes.

Project description:Clostrubin is a potent antibiotic against methicillin- and vancomycin-resistant bacteria that was isolated from a strictly anaerobic bacterium Clostridium beijerinckii in 2014. This polyphenol possesses a fully substituted arene moiety on its pentacyclic scaffold, which poses a considerable challenge for chemical synthesis. Here we report the first total synthesis of clostrubin in nine steps (the longest linear sequence). A desymmetrization strategy is exploited based on the inherent structural feature of the natural product. Barton-Kellogg olefination forges the two segments together to form a tetrasubstituted alkene. A photo-induced 6π electrocyclization followed by spontaneous aromatization constructs the hexasubstituted B ring at a late stage. In total, 200 mg of clostrubin are delivered through this approach.

Project description:The total synthesis of (±)-isophellibiline is described. This represents the first synthesis of a member of the nonaromatic homoerythrinan family of alkaloids. The tetracyclic ring system of the natural product was quickly assembled by a strategy that features a retrocycloaddition/cycloaddition reaction of an amidodioxin, an intramolecular Heck reaction and a 6π-electrocyclic ring closure of a dienoic acid.

Project description:The second total synthesis of Brevisamide, a marine cyclic ether alkaloid from Karenia brevis, is reported. This streamlined synthesis proceeds in 21 steps, 14 steps longest linear sequence, in 5.2% overall yield and features a key SmI(2) reductive cyclization step to access the tetrasubstituted pyran core.

Project description:The first total synthesis of loroxanthin (1) was accomplished by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction of C25-apocarotenal 8 having a silyl-protected 19-hydroxy moiety with C15-phosphonate 25 bearing a silyl-protected 3-hydroxy-ε-end group. Preparation of apocarotenal 8 was achieved via Stille coupling reaction of alkenyl iodide 10 with alkenyl stananne 9, whereas phosphonate 25 was prepared through treatment of ally alcohol 23 with triethyl phosphite and ZnI2. The ally alcohol 23 was derived from the known (3R,6R)-3-hydroxy C15-aldehyde 20, which was obtained by direct optical resolution of racemate 20 using a semi-preparative chiral HPLC column.

Project description:The natural product himastatin has an unusual homodimeric structure that presents a substantial synthetic challenge. We report the concise total synthesis of himastatin from readily accessible precursors, incorporating a final-stage dimerization strategy that was inspired by a detailed consideration of the compound's biogenesis. Combining this approach with a modular synthesis enabled expedient access to more than a dozen designed derivatives of himastatin, including synthetic probes that provide insight into its antibiotic activity.
