The monoketal of cyclopentene-1,3-dione was converted into the η2-Co2(CO)6 neocarzinostatincore 19 in six steps; oxidative decomplexation in the presence of cyclohexa-1,4-diene gave the cycloaromatized adduct 22.
Development of Highly Stereoselective Asymmetric 6π-Azaelectrocyclization of Conformationally Flexible Linear 1-Azatrienes. From Determination of Multifunctional Chiral Amines, 7-Alkyl <i>cis</i>-1-Amino-2-indanols, to Application as a New Synthetic Strategy: Formal Synthesis of 20-Epiuleine
The highlystereoselective asymmetric 6π-azaelectrocyclization was achieved as a general synthetic method based on the reaction between the (E)-3-carbonyl-2,4,6-trienal compounds and the (−)-7-alkyl-cis-1-amino-2-indanol derivatives which are effective chiral amines. The 7-alkyl-substituted 2-indanol moiety of the cyclized products was efficiently removed by the novel manganese dioxide oxidation under
Biselides A and B are cytotoxic marine polyketides. We have achieved synthesis of the C-1–C-15 segment of biselides A and B by using Stillecoupling and regioselective oxidative cleavage as key steps. Furthermore, we constructed the α,β-unsaturated lactone part of biselide E by using a similar strategy.
The bicyclo[7.3.0]dodecadiyne core structure of the antitumor agents neocarzinostatin, kedarcidin, C-1027 and maduropeptin can be readily constructed by an intramolecular aldol reaction to form the bond only if the C-6,7 triple bond is complexed as its η2Co2(CO)6-acetylene adduct.
Synthesis and Structure−Activity Relationships of a New Series of Retinoid-Related Biphenyl-4-ylacrylic Acids Endowed with Antiproliferative and Proapoptotic Activity
Atypical retinoids (AR) represent a class of proapoptotic agents with promising potential in the treatment of neoplastic diseases. In the present work 4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-ylacrylic acids were studied as a novel series of AR. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity in a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line (NB4) and in an ovarian carcinoma cell system including IGROV-1, carrying a functional wild-type p53, and a cisplatin-resistant subline, IGROV-1/Pt-1. The presence of a bulky lipophilic group at position 3' (adamantan-1-yl being the best) and the E configuration of the acrylic moiety appear essential for activity below 1 mu M. No substitution on the rings or on the double bond improved the activity. A qualitative correlation between the log P and molecular volume of the 3'-substituent and the antiproliferative activity was found. From the study of a few selected compounds, it appears that the presence of the carboxylic group is an essential requirement for apoptogenic properties but not for antiproliferative activity, this being maintained in amide derivatives. On the other hand, compounds able to induce apoptosis produced a detectable level of genotoxic damage. This observation supports the hypothesis that the genotoxic stress is a critical event mediating apoptosis induction by compounds of this class. Among the compounds investigated, E-3-(3'-adamantan-1-yl-4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-yl)acrylic acid (2) was chosen for further investigation.
