Natural products of the caged Garcinia xanthones (CGX) family are characterized by a unique chemical structure, potent bioactivities and promising pharmacological profiles. We have developed a Claisen/Diels–Alder reaction cascade that, in combination with a Pd(0)-catalyzed reverse prenylation, provides rapid and efficient access to the CGX pharmacophore, represented by the structure of cluvenone. To further explore this pharmacophore, we have synthesized various A-ring oxygenated analogues of cluvenone and have evaluated their bioactivities in terms of growth inhibition, mitochondrial fragmentation, induction of mitochondrial-dependent cell death and Hsp90 client inhibition. We found that installation of an oxygen functionality at various positions of the A-ring influences significantly both the site-selectivity of the Claisen/Diels–Alder reaction and the bioactivity of these compounds, due to remote electronic effects.
被笼罩的伽马林黄酮(CGX)家族的天然产物具有独特的化学结构、强大的生物活性和良好的药理特征。我们开发了一种Claisen/Diels–Alder反应级联反应,并结合Pd(0)催化的逆普瑞尼基反应,快速高效地获得了以cluvenone结构为代表的CGX药效基团。为进一步探索该药效基团,我们合成了多种cluvenone的A环氧化类衍生物,并评估了它们在生长抑制、线粒体碎片化、诱导线粒体依赖性细胞死亡和Hsp90底物抑制等方面的生物活性。我们发现,在A环不同位置引入氧功能团显著影响了Claisen/Diels–Alder反应的位点选择性以及这些化合物的生物活性,原因在于远程电子效应。
