The first organocatalytic enantioselective approach to precursors of tubuvaline (pre-Tuv) is presented employing a prolinamide-catalyzed aldol reaction of easily accessible thiazole-carbaldehyde with methyl isopropyl ketone "on water" in excellent yield as well as regio- and enantioselectivities. The analogues of pre-Tuv were achieved using an l-proline-catalyzed direct asymmetric aldol reaction of substituted thiazole-carbaldehydes with acetone. A direct and flexible approach to the tubavaline (Tuv) core of tubusylins has been established employing the reductive amination of the pre-Tuv species. The key aldol reaction should greatly expand the potential of this strategy to the synthesis of natural product tubulysins and a range of analogues.

New thiazolyl derivatives (BT and TT) and their copper (II) complexes [Cu2Cl2(BT)2] (Cu-BT) and [Cu4ClO2(TT)2]PF6?3.5H2O (Cu-TT) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, HRMS, X-ray diffraction, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopies. The crystal structure of Cu-BT shows the formation of a dinuclear complex where each copper(II) center is bonded to two thiazol N atoms, from different BT ligands, one deprotonated amide N atom, an O atom from the ester terminal groups and a chlorine atom. The structure found for Cu-TT is a positively charged tetranuclear moiety containing two deprotonated TT ligands, a chlorine anion, two hydroxide anions acting as bridges between the copper centers and a water molecule. The cytotoxic activity of both copper complexes was evaluated on metastatic breast cancer cell lines, characterized for its rapidly dividing behavior. Both, Cu-BT and Cu-TT, show higher cytotoxic activity against these tumor cells than free BT and TT and also than cisplatin. In addition, we found that both complexes interact with DNA. Consistently, they also show cytotoxicity against a rapidly dividing non-tumor cell line, although with higher IC50, being such interaction and selectivity an indicator of the possible coexistence of more than one mechanism of action.

We present herein a novel and convenient route for the scaling-up of the dTuv fragment of pretubulysin. The newly conceived chemical path involves a practical and efficient one-step procedure for the preparation of a key thiazole intermediate, followed by high-yielding Wittig olefination/reduction steps. The optimized route, starting from the inexpensive and non-toxic l-cysteine, encompasses five synthetic steps and only two chromatographic purifications, thus displaying a dramatically increased overall yield. The versatility of the proposed approach also provides new hints for the exploration of pretubulysin derivatives bearing diverse heterocyclic portions.
