Assembling the carbon skeleton of A-74528.

ABSTRACT: The 2'-phosphodiesterase inhibitor A-74528, which combines an intriguing biosynthesis with unusual biological activity, is one of the most complex type II polyketides. As a synthetic target, it represents a significant challenge due to its size but also due to a unique carbon skeleton that features a hexacarbocyclic core with an appended pyrone. Here we report our efforts toward the synthesis of A-74528, which culminated in the construction of the full carbon skeleton and the correct installation of all but one stereocenter. Our strategy employs a molybdenum-catalyzed branched allylation to establish the central quaternary carbon and relies on establishing the remaining stereocenters in a substrate-controlled manner. Carbocycles were established using a spiro epoxide annulation, a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, followed by an aldol condensation, and a gold-catalyzed hydroarylation. The pyrone was appended to an aldehyde branching off the quaternary stereocenter by a one-carbon homologation and Mukaiyama aldol addition.

Biosynthesis of the Unusual Carbon Skeleton of Nocuolin A.

Project description:Nocuolin A is a cytotoxic cyanobacterial metabolite that is proposed to be produced by enzymes of the noc biosynthetic gene cluster. Nocuolin A features a 1,2,3-oxadiazine moiety, a structural feature unique among natural products and, so far, inaccessible through organic synthesis, suggesting that novel enzymatic chemistry might be involved in its biosynthesis. This heterocycle is substituted with two alkyl chains and a 3-hydroxypropanoyl moiety. We report here our efforts to elucidate the origin of the carbon skeleton of nocuolin A. Supplementation of cyanobacterial cultures with stable isotope-labeled fatty acids revealed that the central C13 chain is assembled from two medium-chain fatty acids, hexanoic and octanoic acids. Using biochemical assays, we show that a fatty acyl-AMP ligase, NocH, activates both fatty acids as acyl adenylates, which are loaded onto an acyl carrier protein domain and undergo a nondecarboxylative Claisen condensation catalyzed by the ketosynthase NocG. This enzyme is part of a phylogenetically well-defined clade within similar genomic contexts. NocG presents a unique combination of characteristics found in other ketosynthases, namely in terms of substrate specificity and reactivity. Further supplementation experiments indicate that the 3-hydroxypropanoyl moiety of 1 originates from methionine, through an as-yet-uncharacterized mechanism. This work provides ample biochemical evidence connecting the putative noc biosynthetic gene cluster to nocuolin A and identifies the origin of all its carbon atoms, setting the stage for elucidation of its unusual biosynthetic chemistry.

Assembling carbon quantum dots to a layered carbon for high-density supercapacitor electrodes.

Project description:It is found that carbon quantum dots (CQDs) self-assemble to a layer structure at ice crystals-water interface with freeze- drying. Such layers interconnect with each other, forming a free-standing CQD assembly, which has an interlayer distance of about 0.366 nm, due to the existence of curved carbon rings other than hexagons in the assembly. CQDs are fabricated by rupturing C60 by KOH activation with a production yield of ~15 wt.%. The CQDs obtained have an average height of 1.14 nm and an average lateral size of 7.48 nm, and are highly soluble in water. By packaging annealed CQD assembly to high density (1.23 g cm(-3)) electrodes in supercapacitors, a high volumetric capacitance of 157.4 F cm(-3) and a high areal capacitance of 0.66 F cm(-2) (normalized to the loading area of electrodes) are demonstrated in 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte with a good rate capability.

Corallolides A and B: bioactive diterpenes featuring a novel carbon skeleton.

Project description:Corallolides A (1) and B (2) are naturally occurring diterpenes isolated from the Caribbean gorgonian octocoral Pseudopterogorgia bipinnata collected near Providencia Island, Colombia. Their tricyclic structures are based on a uniquely substituted bicyclo[9.2.1]tetradecane ring system that was established through detailed spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 were shown to exhibit antiparasitic and antituberculosis activity, respectively.

L-Ascorbate Biosynthesis Involves Carbon Skeleton Rearrangement in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

Project description:Ascorbate (AsA) is required as a cofactor and is widely distributed in plants and animals. Recently, it has been suggested that the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans also synthesizes AsA. However, its biosynthetic pathway is still unknown. To further understand AsA biosynthesis in C. elegans, we analyzed the incorporation of the 13C atom into AsA using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in worms fed with D-Glc (1-13C)-labeled Escherichia coli. GC-MS analysis revealed that AsA biosynthesis in C. elegans, similarly to that in mammalian systems, involves carbon skeleton rearrangement. The addition of L-gulono-1,4-lactone, an AsA precursor in the mammalian pathway, significantly increased AsA level in C. elegans, whereas the addition of L-galactono-1,4-lactone, an AsA precursor in the plant and Euglena pathway, did not affect AsA level. The suppression of E03H4.3 (an ortholog of gluconolactonase) or the deficiency of F54D5.12 (an ortholog of L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidase) significantly decreased AsA level in C. elegans. Although N2- and AsA-deficient F54D5.12 knockout mutant worm (tm6671) morphologies and the ratio of collagen to non-collagen protein did not show any significant differences, the mutant worms exhibited increased malondialdehyde levels and reduced lifespan compared with the N2 worms. In conclusion, our findings indicate that the AsA biosynthetic pathway is similar in C. elegans and mammals.

Galewone, an Anti-Fibrotic Polyketide from Daldinia eschscholzii with an Undescribed Carbon Skeleton.

Project description:A novel polyphenolic natural product, galewone, with undescribed carbon skeleton, was isolated as a racemate from the culture of Daldinia eschscholzii IFB-TL01, a fungus obtained from the mantis (Tenodera aridifolia) gut. The galewone structure was elucidated by a combination of MS and NMR spectra, and substantiated by X-ray crystallographic diffraction. The absolute stereochemistry of each galewone enantiomers was determined by the CD spectrum. In compliance of the structural similarities, galewone might be the shunt products of the dalesconol biosynthetic pathway. Both (-)- and ( + )-galewones were evaluated to be anti-fibrotic against activated hepatic stellate cell line, CFSC-8B, with the IC50 values being 3.73 ± 0.21 and 10.10 ± 0.41 μM, respectively. Thus, galewone may serve as a starting molecule for the discovery of new anti-fibrotic drug.

Chlorophyll Breakdown in a Fern-Discovery of Phyllobilin Isomers with a Rearranged Carbon Skeleton.

Project description:All structure-based information on chlorophyll (Chl) breakdown in the higher plants relies on studies with angiosperms. Herein, the first investigation of a fern is reported, revealing a novel type of Chl catabolites (phyllobilins) in leaves of this large division of the vascular plants, and providing structural insights into an astounding metabolic process of the higher plants that appears to have played a role even in early phases of plant evolution. The tetrapyrrolic Chl catabolites in the cosmopolitan bracken fern were discovered to be phyllobilin isomers with an unprecedented skeleton, proposed to be the striking result of a rearrangement of a hypothetical phyllobilin precursor.
