Synthesis of 2,6-Dideoxysugars via Ring-Closing Olefinic Metathesis
摘要:
graphicGrubbs' RuCl2(=CHPh)(PCy3)(2) (catalyst 1) and RuCl2(=CHPh)(PCy3)(IMess) (catalyst 2) complexes have been successfully utilized in the construction of beta,gamma-unsaturated delta-lactones containing various substitution patterns of methyl groups. Asymmetric dihydroxylation followed by reduction leads to 3,4-cis-dihydroxy-2,6-dideoxypyranoses, which have proven to play very important biological roles as key components of natural products.
Two new 13,14:14,15-disecopregnane-type C21 steroidalglycosides, namely komarosides R (1) and S (2), along with four known compounds (3–6), were obtained from the 95% ethanol extract of the whole herbs of Cynanchum komarovii Al.Iljinski (Asclepiadaceae). The structures of new compounds were elucidated on the basis of 1D, 2D NMR spectroscopic data and acid hydrolysis. Compounds 1 and 2 showed potent
Bioactive C<sub>21</sub> Steroidal Glycosides from the Roots of <i>Cynanchum otophyllum</i> That Suppress the Seizure-like Locomotor Activity of Zebrafish Caused by Pentylenetetrazole
Six new C-21 steroidal glycosides, cynotophyllosides A-F (1-6), together with 16 known compounds, were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum otophyllum. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. The three major components, otophylloside F (15), otophylloside B (17), and rostratamine 3-O-beta-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1 beta-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1 -> 4)-beta-D-cymaropyranosyl (1 -> 4)-beta-D-cymaropyranoside), suppressed the seizure-like locomotor activity caused by pentylenetetrazole in zebrafish. Preliminary structure-activity relation studies revealed that a pregnene skeleton with a C-12 ester group (ikemaoyl > cinnamoyl > hydroxy > p-hydroxybenzoyl) and a C-3 sugar chain consisting of three 2,6-dideoxysaccharide units is essential for this suppressive activity.
