Epiquinamide: A Poison That Wasn’t from a Frog That Was
摘要:
In 2003, we reported the isolation, structure elucidation, and pharmacology of epiquinamide (1), a novel alkaloid isolated from an Ecuadoran poison frog, Epipedobates tricolor. Since then, several groups, including ours, have undertaken synthetic efforts to produce this compound, which appeared initially to be a novel, beta 2-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. Based on prior chiral GC analysis of synthetic and natural samples, the absolute structure of this alkaloid was established as (1S,9aS)-1-acetamidoquinolizidine. We have synthesized the (1R*,9aS*)-isomer (epi-epiquinamide) using an iminium ion nitroaldol reaction as the key step. We have also synthesized ent-1 semisynthetically from (-)-lupinine. Synthetic epiquinamide is inactive at nicotinic receptors, in accord with recently published reports. We have determined that the activity initially reported is due to cross-contamination from co-occurring epibatidine in the isolated material.

An efficient diastereoselective approach to access trans-5-hydroxy-6-alkynyl/alkenyl-2-piperidinones has been developed through nucleophilic addition of α-chiral aldimines using alkynyl/alkenyl Grignardreagents. The diastereoselectivity of alkenyl in C-6 position of 2-piperidinone was controlled by α-alkoxy substitution, while the alkynyl was controlled by the coordination of the α-alkoxy substitution
Hydroxy propiolate rearrangement to conjugated diene, Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and one-pot quinolizine construction have been used as key steps in the totalsynthesis of (−)-epiquinamide.

Described are methods of synthesizing phantasmidine and analogues thereof from commercially available starting materials. The compounds are useful as pharmacological probes and potential lead compounds for the development of selective nicotinic receptor therapeutics.
(-)-epiquinamide (2) have been described via the key intermediate 3 obtained from the addition of 2-trialkylsilyloxyfuran 5 to N-acyliminium intermediate derived from 4. The major R,R-isomer 8 obtained from the Mannich reaction was converted into its R,S-isomer through Mitsunobu reaction. Then, a second Mitsunobu reaction of 3 led to cyano 9 and azido 11 derivatives, which were converted into 1 and 2 in 33 and
The asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-epiquinamide has been achieved starting from a 5-iodofuranoside synthon derived fromd-glucose. The methods featured Bernet-Vasella reaction followed by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction to provide a new chiral building block diene as the key steps. The bicyclic framework of this quinolizidine was constructed by selective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ester
