Synthetic study toward tridachiapyrone B.

ABSTRACT: A convergent approach to the skeleton of tridachiapyrone B is described taking advantage of the desymmetrization of α,α'-dimethoxy-γ-pyrone leading to α-crotyl-α'-methoxy-γ-pyrone in one step. To construct the quaternary carbon of the 2,5-cyclohexadienone of the target, a strategy based on the Robinson-type annulation of an aldehyde derived from α-crotyl-α'-methoxy-γ-pyrone was applied. The grafting of the simplified target's side chain was demonstrated through an oxidative anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement of the tertiary alcohol arising from the 1,2-addition of a 1,3-dimethylallyl reagent to 2,5-cyclohexadienone connected to the α'-methoxy-γ-pyrone motif.

Synthetic studies toward (+)-cortistatin A.

Project description:We describe herein the synthesis of a late-stage intermediate en route to cortistatin A. Key transformations included a Snieckus-like cascade sequence culminating in a 6?-electrocyclization, an alkylative dearomatization, and the stereoselective functionalization of the cortistatin A-ring. While the total synthesis we sought was not accomplished, the work sets the stage for several approaches to the preparation of novel analogs via diverted total synthesis.

Synthetic Approach toward Enantiopure Cyclic Sulfinamides.

Project description:A synthetic approach toward densely substituted enantiopure cyclic sulfinamides possessing up to four consecutive stereogenic centers was developed based on a completely diastereoselective SN2' cyclization/tert-Bu cleavage sequence. Diastereospecific transformation of the obtained scaffold into chiral SVI derivatives such as sulfoximines and sulfonimidamides is demonstrated.

Synthetic studies toward Mycobacterium tuberculosis sulfolipid-I.

Project description:Sulfolipid-I (SL-I) is an abundant metabolite found in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is comprised of a trehalose 2-sulfate core modified with four fatty acyl substituents. The correlation of its abundance with the virulence of clinical isolates suggests a role for SL-I in pathogenesis, although its biological functions remain unknown. Here we describe the synthesis of a SL-I analogue bearing unnatural lipid substituents. A key feature of the synthesis was application of an intramolecular aglycon delivery reaction to join two differentially protected glucose monomers, one prepared with a novel alpha-selective glycosylation. The route developed for the model compound can be readily extended to the synthesis of native SL-I as well as additional analogues for use in the investigation of SL-I's functions.

Synthetic Study toward Triterpenes from the <i>Schisandraceae</i> Family of Natural Products.

Project description:Triterpenoid natural products from the Schisandraceae family have long presented a significant synthetic challenge. Lancifodilactone I, a member of the family not previously synthesized, was identified as a key natural product target, from which many other members could be synthesized. We envisaged that the core ring system of lancifodilactone I could be accessed by a strategy involving palladium-catalysed cascade cyclisation of a bromoenynamide, via carbopalladation, Suzuki coupling and 8π-electrocyclisation, to synthesize the core 7,8-fused ring system. Exploration of this strategy on model systems resulted in efficient syntheses of 5,6- and 5,8-fused systems in high yields, which represent the first such cyclisation where the ynamide nitrogen atom is 'external' to the forming ring system. The enamide functionality resident in the cascade cyclisation product was found to be less nucleophilic than the accompanying tri-/tetrasubstituted alkene(s), enabling regioselective oxidations. Application of this strategy to 7,6-, and 7,8-fused systems, and ultimately the 'real' substrate, was ultimately thwarted by the difficulty of 7-membered ring closure, leading to side product formation. Nevertheless, a tandem bromoenynamide carbopalladation, Suzuki coupling and 6/8π-electrocyclisation was shown to be a highly efficient tactic for the formation of bicyclic enamides, which may find applications in other synthetic contexts.

Key to the success of this route was an efficient and scalable Ugi four-component coupling to install all the necessary carbons found in the natural products.

Synthetic strategy toward ineleganolide: A cautionary tale.

Project description:We present a case study to demonstrate how complex molecule synthesis can benefit from quantum mechanics (QM) calculations. Theory is applied in two contexts: testing the chemical intuition used in retrosynthetic planning, along with expediting the resolution of unexpected challenges encountered during the course of the synthesis. From a computational lens, we examine retrospectively the strategies employed and the decisions made during our synthetic efforts toward the diterpenoid natural product ineleganolide. Seemingly logical and robust hypotheses are found to be ill-fated after theoretical investigation. Prior knowledge of these issues may have potentially saved valuable time and resources during our synthetic efforts. This cautionary tale suggests that synthetic campaigns can benefit from computational evaluation of synthetic plans.

Toward a Synthetic Yeast Endosymbiont with a Minimal Genome.

Project description:Based on the endosymbiotic theory, one of the key events that occurred during mitochondrial evolution was an extensive loss of nonessential genes from the protomitochondrial endosymbiont genome and transfer of some of the essential endosymbiont genes to the host nucleus. We have developed an approach to recapitulate various aspects of endosymbiont genome minimization using a synthetic system consisting of Escherichia coli endosymbionts within host yeast cells. As a first step, we identified a number of E. coli auxotrophs of central metabolites that can form viable endosymbionts within yeast cells. These studies provide a platform to identify nonessential biosynthetic pathways that can be deleted in the E. coli endosymbionts to investigate the evolutionary adaptations in the host and endosymbiont during the evolution of mitochondria.

Synthetic Studies toward 5,6,7,3',4'-Monomethoxytetrahydroxyflavones: Synthesis of Pedalitin.

Project description:During the synthetic studies toward 5,6,7,3',4'-monomethoxytetrahydroxyflavones, a concise pedalitin synthesis procedure was achieved. As previously reported, 6-hydroxy-2,3,4-trimethoxyacetophenone was prepared by Friedel-Crafts acylation of 1,4-dihydroxy-2,6-dimethoxybenzene with boron trifluoride diethyl etherate in acetic acid. When aldol condensation of 6-hydroxy-2,3,4-trimethoxyacetophenone 2b with vanillin was performed in basic conditions, it produced 2'-hydroxychalcone 3b, and, surprisingly, along with 3-hydroxyflavone 4 in a considerable amount. We propose that this oxidative cyclization is presumably due to the contribution of a quinone methide, likely to be subjected to aerobic oxidation. The chalcone was then subjected to oxidative cyclization with iodine in dimethyl sulfoxide to afford flavone 5 in good yield. To our delight, serial demethylation of the three methoxy groups at the 5-, 6-, and 3'-positions of 5 proceeded smoothly to produce pedalitin 1, under hydrogen bromide solution (30% in acetic acid). The crystal structures of 3-hydroxyflavone 4 and pedalitin tetraacetate 6 were unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallography.

Neutralizing Effect of Synthetic Peptides toward SARS-CoV-2.

Project description:The outbreak caused by SARS-CoV-2 has taken many lives worldwide. Although vaccination has started, the development of drugs to either alleviate or abolish symptoms of COVID-19 is still necessary. Here, four synthetic peptides were assayed regarding their ability to protect Vero E6 cells from SARS-CoV-2 infection and their toxicity to human cells and zebrafish embryos. All peptides had some ability to protect cells from infection by SARS-CoV-2 with the D614G mutation. Molecular docking predicted the ability of all peptides to interact with and induce conformational alterations in the spike protein containing the D614G mutation. PepKAA was the most effective peptide, by having the highest docking score regarding the spike protein and reducing the SARS-CoV-2 plaque number by 50% (EC50) at a concentration of 0.15 mg mL-1. Additionally, all peptides had no toxicity to three lines of human cells as well as to zebrafish larvae and embryos. Thus, these peptides have potential activity against SARS-CoV-2, making them promising to develop new drugs to inhibit cell infection by SARS-CoV-2.
