Total Synthesis of Nafuredin, a Selective NADH-fumarate Reductase Inhibitor
摘要:
Total synthesis of nafuredin, a selective NADH-fumarate reductase inhibitor, has been accomplished by a convergent approach. The C1-C8 and C9-C18 segments were derived efficiently from D-glucose and (S)-(-)-2-methyl-1-butanol, respectively, coupled by stereoselective Julia olefination, and converted to nafuredin.

1,4-Pentenyne as a Five-Carbon Synthon for Efficient and Selective Syntheses of Natural Products Containing 2,4-Dimethyl-1-penten-1,5-ylidene and Related Moieties by Means of Zr-Catalyzed Carboalumination of Alkynes and Alkenes

Two highly efficient protocols for enantioselective synthesis of 2,4-dimethyl-1-penten-1,5-ylidene derivatives involve the combined use of the Zr-catalyzed methylalumination of alkynes (ZMA) and the Zr-catalyzed asymmetric carboalumination of alkenes (ZACA). The ZMA/ZACA protocol has been applied to the synthesis of a nafuredin intermediate 14 and a potential intermediate 18 for milbemycin beta 3,
Nafuredin-gamma (2), converted from nafuredin (1) under mild basic conditions, demonstrates potent and selective inhibitory activity against helminth complex I. However, 2 is unstable in air because the conjugated dienes are oxygen-labile. To address this, we designed and synthesized air-stable nafuredin-gamma analogs. Although the complex I inhibitory activities of all the new nafuredin-gamma analogs were lower than that of 2, all were in the high nM range (IC50: 300-820 nM). (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Total synthesis of nafuredin-γ, a γ-lactone related to nafuredin with selective inhibitory activity against NADH-fumarate reductase
Nafuredin-gamma (2) converted from nafuredin (1) under mild basic conditions showed the same inhibitory activity and selectivity against NADH-fumarate reductase as 1. Total synthesis of 2, a proposed active form of 1, has been accomplished by a convergent approach using Stille coupling. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
