Total Synthesis of Spiruchostatin A, a Potent Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor
摘要:
The total synthesis of spiruchostatin A was accomplished, unambiguously confirming its structure. Key steps included the use of the Nagao thiazolidinethione auxiliary for a diastereoselective acetate aldol reaction and as an activated acylating agent for amide formation, and macrolactonization by the Yamaguchi protocol. Spiruchostatin A is shown to have biological activity similar to that of FK228, a potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor in clinical trials. The spiruchostatin A analogue, epimeric at the beta-hydroxy acid, is inactive, highlighting the importance of stereochemistry at this position for interactions with HDACs.

HDAC inhibitor Spiruchostatin A was synthesized via a route that differs significantly from previously reported routes. The key step involves a latent thioester that initiates a chemoselective transformation similar to native chemical ligation to form the macrocyclic alanine−cysteine amide bond. The easily prepared latent thioester—the first such moiety reported in enantiomerically pure form—is designed
