Synthesis and biological activity of desmethoxy analogues of coruscanone A
摘要:
A series of simple desmethoxy analogues of coruscanone A was prepared via a novel version of Ti(iPrO)(4)-mediated Knoevenagel condensation of cyclopentenedione with substituted benzaldehydes and cinnamic aldehydes, and the compounds were evaluated for antifungal activity and cytotoxicity. The most potent 2-benzylidenecyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione possessed antifungal effect comparable to coruscanone A and a somewhat broader spectrum of activity against Candida species. The compound was also superior to fluconazole against several non-albicans Candida sp. Evaluation of the ability of the compound to influence cell proliferation using two different assays showed that 2-benzylidenecyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione has lower cytotoxicity compared to the natural product.

Total synthesis of human chymase inhibitor methyllinderone has been achieved in only four steps with an overall yield of 21% from dimethyl squarate. We developed an efficient synthetic method for obtaining methyllinderone derivatives and found the active compound. In addition, we propose the inhibition mechanism of the active compound against human chymase using calculations. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
