Short and efficient hemisynthesis of α-eudesmol and cryptomeridiol
摘要:
The aerial part of Dittrichia viscosa yielded two sesquiterpenes, isocostic acid (1) and ilicic acid (2), on multigram scale. These acids are appropriate starting materials for short and facile syntheses of a-eudesmol (5) and cryptomeridiol (6), natural products featuring anti-Alzheimer and anti-spasmodic properties. Compounds 5 and 6 were obtained in three steps in overall yields of 70% and 52%, respectively. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The Mizoroki-Heckreaction was applied to substrates derived from isocostic and ilicic acids, important sesquiterpene components of Dittrichia viscosa L. Greuter that were extracted directly from plant material collected in Morocco. After optimization of the metallo-catalysis conditions, various aryl-groups were successfully introduced on the exocyclic double bond with an exclusive E-configuration
将Mizoroki-Heck反应应用于衍生自等椰子油和二十二酸的基质,这是从摩洛哥收集的植物材料中直接提取的,Dittrichia viscosa L. Greuter的重要倍半萜烯成分。在优化金属催化条件后,各种环芳基以独特的E构型成功地引入到环外双键上,并且没有外消旋作用。

A simple and general synthesis of vanillamides was developed and employed to screen acids from the fatty and isoprenoid pools for new acyl templates of biological relevance as capsaicin analogues. Potent activation of the human vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1) was observed for the vanillamides of certain polyfunctional acids from both pools, showing that the vanilloid activity of capsaicinoids can be. substantially improved by introducing polar groups and/or unsaturations on the acyl moiety. The activity of the unsaturated analogues was maintained or even increased by cyclopropAnation, while omega dimerization led to a substantial increase of activity. Because of the Wide structural diversity of the library of compounds screened, these observations could not be translated into a single framework of structure-activity relationships. Nevertheless, a series of new highly active leads was identified, validating the pharmacological potential of the unnatural combination of natural building blocks to provide new bioactive compounds.

A series of analogs were synthesized in a straightforward manner from naturally available sesquiterpenes ilicic acid and tessaric acid. The in vitro antiproliferative activities were examined in the human solid tumor cell lines A2780, HBL-100, HeLa, SW1573, T-47D and WiDr. The most potent analog induced considerably growth inhibition in the range 1.9-4.5 mu M. Cell cycle studies for tessaric acid derivatives indicated a prominent arrest of the cell cycle at the G(2)/M phase. Damage to the cells was permanent as determine by the so called 24+24 drug schedule. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
