Synthesis of a Phthaloylglycine-Derived Strigol Analogue and Its Germination Stimulatory Activity toward Seeds of the Parasitic Weeds Striga hermonthica and Orobanche crenata
摘要:
The newly designed strigol analogue Nijmegen 1 (rac 7) was prepared in high overall yield starting from N-phthaloylglycine, This relatively simple analogue exhibits high bioactivity in the stimulation of germination of seeds of the parasitic weeds Striga hermonthica and Orobanche crenata. Nijmegen 1 was resolved in its enantiomers 7 and ent 7 by using the homochiral latent D-rings ent 11 and ent 12. The enantiomers 7 and ent 7 show significant differences in germination activity.

The naturally occurring sesquiterpene sorgolactone (2) belongs to the class of "strigolactones", which are highly potent germination stimulants for seeds of the parasitic weeds Striga and Orobanche. The aim of the present work was to synthesize all eight stereoisomers of sorgolactone and to evaluate their activities in the stimulation of germination of S. hermontica and O. crenata. Two racemic diastereomers of the ABC part of sorgolactone, rac.10a and rac.10b respectively, were prepared and coupled with homochiral latent D-ring synthons 12 and ent.12. In this manner, four mixtures of two separable (protected) sorgolactone diastereomers were obtained. Deprotection gave all eight target compounds as single isomers. Bioassays revealed that only those isomers possessing the same stereochemistry as natural sorgolactone at two adjacent chiral centers exhibit high biological activities.

Strigol and sorgolactone belong to the class of ''strigolactones'', which are highly potent germination stimulants of seeds of the parasitic weeds Striga and Orobanche. The aim of the present work was to synthesize all four stereoisomers of demethylsorgolactone (6), which lacks the methyl group in the A-ring of naturally occurring sorgolactone, and to evaluate their activities in the stimulation of germination of Striga hermonthica and Orobanche crenata seeds. Two diastereomers of demethylsorgolactone (6) were prepared and resolved in the corresponding enantiomers. Bioassays revealed that the germination stimulatory activity Of ii is comparable to that of strigol and that there exist significant differences in activity among the individual stereoisomers.

All four optically pure stereoisomers of the strigol analogue GR24 were prepared via two different routes. In the first approach enantiopure ABC-fragments 4 were used as the chiral source, whereas in the alternative route both antipodes of the latent D-ring 6 were employed. Bioassays revealed significant differences in activity between the four stereoisomers in the stimulation of germination of the parasitic weeds Striga hermonthica and Orobanche crenata.
