Antimicrobial indolequinones from the mid-intestinal gland of the muricid gastropod Drupella fragum
摘要:
Three new indolequinones, 6-merhoxyindole-4,7-quinone (1), 5-methoxyindole-4,7-quinone (2) and 5-methylindole-4,7-quinone (3) were isolated from the mid-intestinal gland of the muricid gastropod Drupella fragum. The structures of 1 and 2 were established by spectroscopic methods and total synthesis, whereas the structure of 3 was elucidated mainly by NMR spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1 3 exhibited moderate antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli with MIC = 6.25 similar to 50 mu g/mL. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

An iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation provides the key step in a short synthesis of two indolequinone natural products. This regioselective C-H functionalization strategy delivers 7-borylindoles that undergo facile oxidation hydrolysis to 7-hydroyindoles and subsequent oxidation to the desired indolequinones, thereby demonstrating a powerful application of the iridium-catalyzed C H borylation reaction. A significant result has arisen from the iridium-catalyzed borylation of N-diethylhydrosilyl-6-methoxyindole; even in the presence of a substituent at C6, the N-hydrosilyl group still directs borylation exclusively into the more sterically hindered C7 position in preference to C2.
