Facile synthesis of anhydrojudaicin and 11,13-dehydroanhydrojudaicin, two eudesmanolide-skeleton lactones with potential allelopathic activity
摘要:
Natural product anhydrojudaicin (7) is a eudesmanolide that has been synthesized from costunolide (1) in three steps with good yield, simplifying procedures available in the literature. The key step was the efficient oxidation and rearrangement using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). Following the same methodology, 11,13-dehydroanhydrojudaicin (8) was prepared for the first time. All compounds were characterized and tested in three specific bioassays: phytotoxicity bioassays on wheat coleoptile and on weed seeds (Amaranthus viridis, Echinochloa crus-galli and Panicum maximum); as well as bioassay of germination of parasitic weed seeds of broomrape (Orobanchaceae). The final products showed better activity profiles than the starting eudesmanolide in all bioassays. The data allow us to propose compounds 7 and 8 as leads for new natural product-based agrochemicals.

sesquiterpene lactones modified at the lactone ring with a thiophenol residue have been synthesized. The resulting conjugates with thiophenol have capacity for the oxidation–elimination reaction by the action of ROS of a tumor cell with the release of initial cytotoxiclactones. It has been proposed to use the resulting sulfur-containing conjugates as ROS-activated prodrugs of sesquiterpene lactones. The antiproliferative
