Total syntheses of four possible stereoisomers of resolvin E3
摘要:
Resolvin E3, 17,18-dihydroxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E,15E-eicosapentaenoic acid, is a potent anti-inflammatory lipid mediator. To determine the stereochemistries of the C17- and C18-hydroxy groups of resolvin E3 and to supply a sufficient amount of material for future biological studies, we developed a highly convergent and practical route to its four possible stereoisomers. The key reactions employed here were the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons coupling, the two copper(I)-mediated reactions between the alkynes and the propargyl tosylates, and the simultaneous reduction of the three triple bonds to the three Z-olefins.

Resolvins are pro-resolving lipid mediators with highly potent anti-inflammatory effects. Because of their polyunsaturated structures, however, they are unstable to oxygen as a drug prototype. To address this issue, we designed and synthesized CP-RvE3 as oxidatively stable congeners of RvE3 by replacing the cis-olefin with a cis-cyclopropane to avoid the unstable bisallylic structure. Although the
