Cynaropicrin is a guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone, which has potent in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activity against Trypanosoma brucei, the protozoan parasite that causes human African trypanosomiasis (HAT; sleeping sickness). Herein, we describe the synthesis of cynaropicrin's deuterated derivative, cynaropicrin-d(4), by the replacement of the side chain of natural cynaropicrin. The synthesized cynaropicrin-d(4) could be employed as an internal standard for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis, in the pharmacokinetic study of cynaropicrin. This could potentially advance the study of this therapeutic lead. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The photochemical addition of acyl radical to electron-deficient olefins is studied. The scope of the reaction, the mechanism, the role that molecular oxygen plays, the influence of steric effects, and the side reaction that take place are discussed. The reaction was carried out using a range of electron-withdrawingsubstituents (ketones, amides, lactones, nitrile and esters) with good yields of the

Clementein (1) and clementein B (2), sesquiterpene lactones with an 11,13-oxetane ring isolated from Centaurea clementei Boiss, have been synthesized from the α, β-unsaturated γ-lactone cynaropicrin (6). Conjugated photoaddition, stereoselective α-hydroxylation and mild cyclization to form the oxetane ring using THP as leaving group have been employed in this transformation.
