Enantioselective total synthesis of pladienolide B: A potent spliceosome inhibitor

, p. 4730 - 4733 (2013/01/15)
An enantioselective and convergent total synthesis of pladienolide B (1) is described. Pladienolide B binds to the SF3b complex of a spliceosome and inhibits mRNA splicing activity. The synthesis features an epoxide opening reaction, an asymmetric reduction of a β-keto ester, and a cross metathesis strategy for the side chain synthesis.

Getting cross: The total syntheses of two pladienolides (see picture), which have prominent antitumor activity based on a unique mechanism of action, have been accomplished, and their absolute configurations were verified. The 12-membered aliphatic macrolide structure was formed by ring-closing metathesis, and the side-chain moiety was coupled to the macrolide by Julia-Kocienski olefination or cross-metathesis.
