Bridgehead Modifications of Englerin A Reduce TRPC4 Activity and Intravenous Toxicity but not Cell Growth Inhibition
摘要:
Modifications at the bridgehead position of englerin A were made to explore the effects of variation at this site on the molecule for biological activity, as judged by the NCI 60 screen, in which englerin A is highly potent and selective for renal cancer cells. Replacement of the isopropyl group by other, larger substituents yielded compounds which displayed excellent selectivity and potency comparable to the natural product. Selected compounds were also evaluated for their effect on the ion channel TRPC4 as well as for intravenous toxicity in mice, and these had lower potency in both assays compared to englerin A.

The golden touch: Totalsynthesis of natural (−)‐englerin A from (R)‐citronellal has been achieved using a gold‐catalyzed cyclization as the key step (see scheme). No protecting‐group manipulations were required in the synthetic sequence.

(NHC, N-heterocyclic carbene)-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of sustainable ethylene glycol and various bioalcohols can produce industrially valuable α-hydroxy acids (AHAs). This study is the first to report the sustainable synthesis of higher Cn AHAs, in addition to glycolic acid (C2 AHA) and lactic acid (C3 AHA). This catalytic system can be recycled to the seventh cycle while maintaining good

Englerins A and B are guaiane sesquiterpenes that were isolated from the bark of Phyllanthus engleri, a plant indigenous to east Africa. The englerins consist of a 5-6-5 fused tricyclic structure with an ether bridge and two ester-bearing stereogenic centers, including a highly unusual glycolate residue. Englerin A is a potent and selective inhibitor of the growth of six human renal cancer cell lines. We report herein an efficient, eight-step synthesis of englerin A that leverages simple carbonyl-enabled carbon carbon bond formations. Our route is amenable to the production of a diverse series of analogues for structure function studies and determination of the mode of action of these natural products.
Total Synthesis of (±)-Englerin A and Its Tuncated Analogues
Total synthesis of (±)‐Englerin A and a number of truncated analogues was developed based on a 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of a substituted pyrylium ylide. The bicyclic enone scaffold was further converted into a truncated analogue and the natural product. Interesting stereochemical effects of the bridgehead substituents on the reactivity of the 8‐oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes were uncovered.
