The syntheses of the natural products, avrainvillamide and stephacidin B, are provided. The α,β-unsaturated nitrone functionality of avrainvillamide and its 3-alkylidene-3H-indole 1-oxide core is shown to covalently and reversibly bond to heteroatom-based nucleophiles. This capability may allow these molecules to bind active site nucleophiles and may provide the basis for designing potent and selective enzyme inhibitors. Both avrainvillamide and its dimer stephacidin B have been reported to exhibit antiproliferative activity, and avrainvillamide has been reported to exhibit antimicrobial activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria. Avrainvillamide has been found to target cytoskeleton-linking membrane protein (CLIMP-63) thereby preventing cells from undergoing mitosis. The invention provides syntheses of these natural products as well as analogs of these natural products and their functional cores. The compounds of the invention may be used in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and bacterial infection.
提供了天然产物avrinvillamide 和 stephacidin B的合成方法。avrinvillamide的α,β-不饱和亚硝基功能团和其3-烷基亚甲基-3H-吲哚1-氧化物核心被证明可以共价和可逆地结合到基于杂原子的亲核试剂上。这种能力可以使这些分子结合到活性位点的亲核试剂上,并为设计有效和选择性的酶抑制剂提供基础。avrinvillamide和其二聚体stephacidin B均已被报道具有抗增殖活性,而avrinvillamide已被报道具有对多药耐药细菌的抗微生物活性。已发现avrinvillamide以靶向细胞骨架连接膜蛋白(CLIMP-63)的方式,从而防止细胞进行有丝分裂。本发明提供这些天然产物以及这些天然产物和它们的功能核心的类似物的合成方法。本发明的化合物可用于治疗癌症、自身免疫性疾病和细菌感染等疾病。
