Isolation and Total Synthesis of Hoshinolactam, an Antitrypanosomal Lactam from a Marine Cyanobacterium
摘要:
In the search for new antiprotozoal substances, hoshinolactam, an antitrypanosomal lactam, was isolated from a marine cyanobacterium. The gross structure was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configuration was determined by the first total synthesis. Hoshinolactam showed potent antitrypanosomal activity with an IC50 value of 3.9 nM without cytotoxicity against human fetal lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells (IC50 > 25 mu M).

titanium-TADDOLate complex was effective at catalyzing the cyclopropanation reaction of allylicalcohols in the presence 1 equiv of bis(iodomethyl)zinc. After initial optimization of the catalyst structure, excellent yields and enantiomeric ratios were obtained for 3-aryl- or 3-heteroaryl-substituted allylicalcohols (up to 97:3). Alkyl-substituted allylicalcohols gave modest yields and enantiomeric ratios (up

the conversion of allylicalcohols into the corresponding enantiomerically enriched cyclopropanes using bis(iodomethyl)zinc. A variety of chiral, nonracemic cyclopropylmethanols could be obtained according to this method. This methodology was extended with success to the cyclopropanation of unconjugated and conjugated polyenes and homoallylic alcohols. The cyclopropanation of allylic carbamates has also
