Synthesis and evaluation of (±)-dunnione and its ortho-quinone analogues as substrates for NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)
摘要:
Natural product (+/-)-dunnione (2) and its ortho-quinone analogues (3-8) were synthesized and found to be substrates for NQO1. The structure-activity relationship study revealed that the biological activity was favored by the presence of methyl group at the C ring and methoxy group at the A ring. The docking studies supported the rationalization of the metabolic studies. Deeper location in the active site of NQO1, interactions with hydrophobic pocket and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions with the adjacent Phe178 residue contributed to the better catalytic efficiency and specificity to NQO1. Cytotoxicity studies and determination of superoxide (O-2(center dot)) production in the presence and absence of the NOQ1 inhibitor dicoumarol confirmed that the ortho-quinones exerted their antitumor activity through NQO1-mediated ROS production by redox cycling.

A regioselective biomimetic synthesis of bioactive natural products dunnione and nor-β-lapachone is described. This cascade provides a new strategy of a one-pot process mediated by Lewis acid NbCl5 involving a tandemClaisen rearrangement–cyclization reaction. This procedure was efficient, mild, and easily scalable that avoided using highly hazardous concd H2SO4.
描述了生物活性天然产物地尼酮和去甲β-拉帕酮的区域选择性仿生合成。这种级联反应提供了由路易斯酸NbCl 5介导的一锅过程的新策略,该过程涉及串联的克莱森重排-环化反应。该过程高效,温和且易于扩展,避免了使用高危险浓度的H 2 SO 4的情况。
