2-Hydroxy-3-methylochromycinone 4 has been synthesised using a three stage strategy. The Diels–Alder reaction between 2-bromo-5-acetoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and 1-acetoxy-3,3-dimethyl-5-vinylcyclohexa-1,5-diene gives a single racemic diastereoisomer of 1-acetoxy-12a-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-7,12-dioxo-3,4,6,6a,7,12,12a,12b-octahydrobenzo[a]anthracen-8-yl acetate 5 in 63% yield, which may be epoxidised to give the bis-epoxide 8-acetoxy-12a-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-7,8-dioxo-3,4,4a,5,6,6a,7,12,12a,12b-decahydro-1aH-benzo[6,7]oxireno[2′,3′:10,10a]phenanthro[3,4-b]oxiren-12-yl acetate 6 in 82% yield. The bis-epoxide 6 may be converted directly into 2-hydroxy-3-methylochromycinone 4 in 45% yield, or via one of two
intermediates [e.g. 2,5-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-1,7,12-trioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,12-octahydrobenzo[a]anthracen-8-yl acetate 8] in 80–85% yield. The intermediate 8 shows moderate anticancer activity at µM concentrations against lung, breast and central nervous system cancers, while the target compound 4 is only active at 10−4 M.
2-Hydroxy-3-methylochromycinone 4 采用三阶段策略合成。通过 2-溴-5-乙酰氧基-1,4-萘醌和 1-乙酰氧基-3,3-二甲基-5-乙烯基环己-1,5-二烯之间的 Diels-Alder 反应,得到了 1-乙酰氧基-12a-溴-3,3-二甲基-7,12-二氧代-3,4,6,6a,7,12-八氢苯并[a]蒽-8-基的单一外消旋非对映异构体、12a,12b-八氢苯并[a]蒽-8-基乙酸酯 5,收率为 63%,环氧化可得到双环氧化物 8-乙酰氧基-12a-溴-3,3-二甲基-7,8-二氧代-3,4,4a,5,6,6a,7,12,12a,12b-十氢-1aH-苯并[6,7]氧代[2′,3′:10,10a]菲并[3,4-b]氧杂卓-12-基乙酸酯 6,收率为 82%。双环氧化物 6 可直接转化为 2-羟基-3-甲基罗红霉素酮 4,收率为 45%,或通过两种中间体之一[如 2,5-二羟基-3,3-二甲基-1,7,12-三氧代-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,12-八氢苯并[a]蒽-8-基乙酸酯 8]转化,收率为 80-85%。中间体 8 在 µM 浓度下对肺癌、乳腺癌和中枢神经系统癌症具有中等抗癌活性,而目标化合物 4 在 10-4 M 浓度下才具有活性。
