Furanaphin: a novel naphtho[2,3-c]furan-4(1H)-one derivative from the aphid Aphis spiraecola Patch
摘要:
A novel naphtho[2,3-c]furan-4(1H)-one derivative 1, named furanaphin, was isolated from the aphid A. spiraecola P. The structure of the compound was established by a single crystal X-ray analysis of its (S)-MTPA ester. Furanaphin was found to have cytotoxicity against HL-60 human tumor cells.

The yellowish aphid pigment furanaphin, isolated from Aphis spiraecola and possessing cytotoxicity against HL-60 (human promyelocytic leukemia-60) cells, was synthesized by utilizing the Fries rearrangement assisted with a BF3·2AcOH complex as a key step. It was confirmed that the complex effectively mediated the reaction even though the compounds had an electron-withdrawing substituent.
