Asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-sphaerodiol (2) has been achieved. A key step is an intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of alkyl(phenylthio)ketene for rapid assembly of the decalin ring.

Usnic acid (UA) is a secondary metabolite of lichens that exhibits a wide range of biological activities. Previously, we found that UA derivatives are effective inhibitors of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1). It can remove covalent complex DNA-topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) stabi-lized by the TOP1 inhibitor topotecan, neutralizing the effect of the drugs. TDP1 removes damage at the 3′ end of DNA caused by other anticancer agents. Thus, TDP1 is a promising therapeutic target for the development of drug combinations with topotecan, as well as other drugs for cancer treatment. Ten new UA enamino derivatives with variation in the terpene fragment and substituent of the UA backbone were synthesized and tested as TDP1 inhibitors. Four compounds, 11a-d, had IC50 values in the 0.23–0.40 μM range. Molecular modelling showed that 11a-d, with relatively short aliphatic chains, fit to the important binding domains. The intrinsic cytotoxicity of 11a-d was tested on two human cell lines. The compounds had low cytotoxicity with CC50 ≥ 60 μM for both cell lines. 11a and 11c had high inhibition efficacy and low cytotoxicity, and they enhanced topotecan’s cyto-toxicity in cancerous HeLa cells but reduced it in the non-cancerous HEK293A cells. This “protec-tive” effect from topotecan on non-cancerous cells requires further investigation.
One-Pot Absolute Stereochemical Identification of Alcohols via Guanidinium Sulfate Crystallization

A novel technique for the absolute stereochemical determination of alcohols has been developed that uses crystallization of guanidinium salts of organosulfates. The simple one-pot, two-step process leverages facile formation of guandinium organosulfate single crystals for the straightforward determination of the absolute stereochemistry of enantiopure alcohols by means of X-ray crystallography. The strong hydrogen bonding network drives the stability of the crystal lattice and allows for a diverse range of organic alcohol substrates to be analyzed.
