Structural revision of kynapcin-12 by total synthesis, and inhibitory activities against prolyl oligopeptidase and cancer cells
摘要:
Kynapcin-12 is a prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) inhibitor isolated from Polyozellus multiplex, and its structure was assigned as 1 having a p-hydroquinone moiety by spectroscopic analyses and chemical means. This Letter describes the total syntheses of the proposed structure 1 for kynapcin-12 and 2',3'-diacetoxy-1,5',6',4 ''-tetrahydroxy-p-terphenyl 2 isolated from Boletopsis grisea, revising the structure of kynapcin-12 to the latter. These syntheses involved double Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, CAN oxidation, and LTA oxidation as key steps. The inhibitory activities of synthetic compounds against POP and cancer cells were also evaluated. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
This paper describes the total synthesis of thelephantin G, thus revising the proposedstructure 1 to 2. The key steps involved a double Suzuki−Miyaura coupling and an esterification reaction. By a similar strategy, ganbajuninsD and E (3 and 4) were also prepared. Compound 2 strongly inhibited TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-α production in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells: IC50 = 3.5 nM, while
