Euodenine A: A Small-Molecule Agonist of Human TLR4
摘要:
A small-molecule natural product, euodenine A (1), was identified as an agonist of the human TLR4 receptor. Euodenine A was isolated from the leaves of Euodia asteridula (Rutaceae) found in Papua New Guinea and has an unusual U-shaped structure. It was synthesized along with a series of analogues that exhibit potent and selective agonism of the TLR4 receptor. SAR development around the cyclobutane ring resulted in a 10-fold increase in potency. The natural product demonstrated an extracellular site of action, which requires the extracellular domain of TLR4 to stimulate a NF-kappa B reporter response. 1 is a human-selective agonist that is CD14-independent, and it requires both TLR4 and MD-2 for full efficacy. Testing for immunomodulation in PBMC cells shows the induction of the cytokines IL-8, IL-10, TNF-alpha, and IL-12p40 as well as suppression of IL-5 from activated PBMCs, indicating that compounds like 1 could modulate the Th2 immune response without causing lung damage.

A convenient and efficient synthesis of pyranoquinoli-nones was achieved using the ethylenediamine diacetate catalyzed reactions of 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline and a variety of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in good yield. The key feature of these reactions is the formal [3+3] cycloaddition. This new methodology was applied successfully to the total synthesis of naturally occurring pyranoquinolinone alkaloids
