Total synthesis of stevastelin B is described. Evans asymmetric aldol methodology and Roush asymmetric allylation were used to construct four consecutive stereo-centers on the octadecanoic acid moiety of stevastelin B. Subsequent coupling with a dipeptide and macrolactamization gave stevastelin B. The flexibility of this route could allow the synthesis of many analogues for biological tests, which cannot be obtained from natural sources.

A synthesis of the stevastelins. a novel class of immunosuppressant agents, is reported based on a macrolactonization approach. This synthesis commenced with the stereoselective preparation of the stearic acid segment from tetradecanal using Evans asymmetric synthesis methodology and an aldol reaction with a thioester. After a high yielding coupling reaction between the fatty acid residue and the corresponding tripeptide. we proceeded with the macrolactonization key step. Thus, macrolactonizations of hydroxy acid 27 and dihydroxy acid 30, according to Yamaguchi conditions, afforded the corresponding 13-membered ring stevastelin derivatives 28 and 31 in 90 and 82% yields, respectively. In this latter case, the corresponding 15-membered lactone was not formed. Finally. depsipeptide derivative 31 was converted into stevastelin C3 (5). (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The synthesis of stevastelinB3 (2) and B (5) are described. In a first approach, epoxy cyclodepsipeptide 8 was considered as a promising candidate for the synthesis of the [15]-membered ring members of the stevastelins; however, the oxirane ring opening, required for the completion of the natural stevastelinsynthesis, failed. Thus, we synthesized stevastelinB (5), carrying out the oxirane ring opening

The enzyme alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) is overexpressed in prostate, colon, and other cancers and has been partially validated as a potential therapeutic target by siRNA knockdown of the AMACR gene. Analogs of the natural substrate branched chain alpha-methylacyl coenzyme A esters, possessing one or more beta-fluorine atoms, have been synthesized using Wittig, conjugate addition, and asymmetric aldol reactions and found to be reversible competitive inhibitors. Each diastereomer of the previously reported inhibitor ibuprofenoyl-CoA was also tested. The compounds had K-i values of 0.9-20 mu M and are the most potent inhibitors yet known. The presence of beta-fluorine on the alpha-methyl group or the acyl chain results in a significant lowering of the K-i value compared with nonfluorinated analogs, and this is attributed to a lowering of the pK(a) of the alpha-proton, facilitating enolization and binding. Several of the CoA ester inhibitors were formed by incubating the free carboxylic acid precursors with cell free extracts and CoA. alpha-Trifluoromethyltetradecanoic acid, the precursor to the most potent inhibitor, was shown to inhibit growth of cancer cell lines PC3, CWR22 Rv1, and Du145 in a dose-dependent manner and could be related to the expression level of AMACR.
