- A MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF ISOFLAVAN OR ISOFLAVENE DERIVATIVES
-
The present invention relates to a method of synthesizing isoflavan and isoflavene derivatives of the Formula 1, which have the biological efficacy of antioxidation and protection against ultraviolet light. The method is effective and suitable for a mass production of isoflavan and isoflavene derivatives, which is a more convenient alternative preparation method compared to the isolation method by the extraction of plants, such as licorice, via troublesome preparative processes.

- Total syntheses of spidamine and joramine, polyamine toxins from the joro spider, Nephila clavata
-
In order to confirm the structures of spidamine and joramine, identified from the venom of a spider (nephila clavata), we convergently synthesized both compounds, which have a common side chain of N-(L-asparaginyl)-N'-(3- aminopropyl-β-alanyl)-1,5-pentanediamine. A synthon of the common side chain was synthesized by starting with n-propanolamine which was converted to 7- azido-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-azaheptanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester. The ester was coupled with tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-asparaginyl-1,5- pentanediamine to give the synthon of the common side chain. In the final synthesis of spidamine, the synthon of the common side chain was reacted with 2,4-dibenzyloxyphenylacetic acid N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester, obtained by Willgerodt-kindler reaction of 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone. The protected spidamine was catalytically hydrogenated to remove protective groups, affording spidamine itself in 13% yield from n-propanolamine. In the final synthesis of joramine, the synthon of the common side chain was reacted with 4-benzyloxyphenyl acetic acid N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester. The protected joramine was also catalytically hydrogenated to produce joramine itself in 11% yield. The conformations of both synthesized compounds were analyzed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. Their blocking activities on glutamate receptors were examined using lobster neuromuscular synapses.
