An efficient formal synthesis of (−)‐englerin A (1) is reported. The target molecule is a recently isolated guaiane sesquiterpene that possesses highly potent and selective activity against renal cancer cell‐lines. Our enantioselective strategy involved the construction of the BC ring system of compound 1 through a RhII‐catalyzed [4+3] cycloaddition reaction followed by subsequent attachment of the
报道了 (-)-englerin A ( 1 )的有效形式合成。目标分子是最近分离的愈创木酚倍半萜烯,它对肾癌细胞系具有高效和选择性的活性。我们的对映选择性策略涉及通过 Rh II构建化合物1的 BC 环系统-催化的 [4+3] 环加成反应,随后通过分子内醛醇缩合反应连接 A 环。因此,该策略允许合成截断的 englerins。用 A498 肾癌细胞系对这些类似物进行评估表明,englerin 的 A 环对其抗增殖活性至关重要。此外,对这些类似物的评估导致鉴定了 CEM 细胞的强效生长抑制剂,其 GI 50值在 1-3 μM范围内。
