Klimentova, Jana,Kosak, Petr,Vavrova, Katerina,Holas, Tomas,Novotny, Jakub,Hrabalek, Alexandr

Transkarbams (T) represent novel group of highly active, non-toxic transdermal permeation enhancers. This study was focused on the influence of small symmetrical terminal branching on their enhancing activity. Series of T with terminal methyl or ethyl branching was prepared and their permeation-enhancing activity was compared to that of their linear analogues. The results showed completely a different behaviour from similarly branched alcohols, supporting the key role of the ammonium-carbamate polar head in the enhancing activity of T.
Concise Chemoenzymatic Total Synthesis and Identification of Cellular Targets of Cepafungin I

Amatuni et al. established a concise chemoenzymatic synthesis of cepafungin I. The route enabled access to a chemoproteomic probe, revealing high selectivity for proteasome subunits β5/2. Potent inhibition was associated with the macrocyclic hydroxyl group and lipid tail. Cepafungin I exhibited similar mode of action with the clinical drug bortezomib. The natural product cepafungin I was recently reported to be one of the most potent covalent inhibitors of the 20S proteasome core particle through a series of in vitro activity assays. Here, we report a short chemoenzymatic total synthesis of cepafungin I featuring the use of a regioselective enzymatic oxidation to prepare a key hydroxylated amino acid building block in a scalable fashion. The strategy developed herein enabled access to a chemoproteomic probe, which in turn revealed the exceptional selectivity and potency of cepafungin I toward the β2 and β5 subunits of the proteasome. Further structure-activity relationship studies suggest the key role of the hydroxyl group in the macrocycle and the identity of the lipid tail in modulating the potency of this natural product family. This study lays the groundwork for further medicinal chemistry exploration to fully realize the anticancer potential of cepafungin I.

Laspartomycin C is a lipopeptide antibiotic with activity against a range of Gram-positive bacteria including drug-resistant pathogens. We report the first total synthesis of laspartomycin C as well as a series of structural variants. Laspartomycin C was found to specifically bind undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P) and inhibit formation of the bacterial cell wall precursor lipid II. While several clinically used antibiotics target the lipid II pathway, there are no approved drugs that act on its C55-P precursor.
A practical synthesis of long-chain iso-fatty acids (iso-C 12-C19) and related natural products
Richardson, Mark B.,Williams, Spencer J.
, p. 1807 - 1812 (2013/10/22)
A gram-scale synthesis of terminally-branched iso-fatty acids (iso-C 12-C19) was developed commencing with methyl undec-10-enoate (methyl undecylenate) (for iso-C12-C14) or the C15 and C16 lactones pentadecanolide (for iso-C 15-C17) and hexadecanolide (for iso-C18-C 19). Central to the approaches outlined is the two-step construction of the terminal isopropyl group through addition of methylmagnesium bromide to the ester/lactones and selective reduction of the resulting tertiary alcohols. Thus, the C12, C17 and C18 iso-fatty acids were obtained in three steps from commercially-available starting materials, and the remaining C13-C16 and C19 iso-fatty acids were prepared by homologation or recursive dehomologations of these fatty acids or through intercepting appropriate intermediates. Highlighting the synthetic potential of the iso-fatty acids and various intermediates prepared herein, we describe the synthesis of the natural products (S)-2,15-dimethylpalmitic acid, (S)-2-hydroxy-15-methylpalmitic acid, and 2-oxo-14-methylpentadecane.

The first efficient total syntheses of 3((1R,2R)- and 3((1S,2R)-2-(12- methyltridecyl)cyclopropyl)propanoic acid have been achieved following a chelation controlled modified Simmon-Smith cyclopropanation, Wittig reaction, Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination, and p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide catalyzed hydrogenation as key reactions in good overall yield.
Influence of terminal branching on the transdermal permeation-enhancing activity in fatty alcohols and acids

In order to investigate the effect of terminal chain branching in the skin permeation enhancers, seven alcohols and seven acids with the chain length of 8-12 carbons and terminal methyl or ethyl branching were prepared. Their transdermal permeation-enhancing activities were evaluated in vitro using theophylline as a model permeant and porcine skin, and compared to those of the linear standards. Terminal methyl branching increased the enhancing activity only in 12C acid, no effect was seen in the shorter ones. Terminal ethyl however produced a significant increase in activity. In the alcohols, the branching was likely to change the mode of action, due to a different relationship between the activity and the chain length.
Identification and total synthesis of novel fatty acids from the siphonarid limpet Siphonaria denticulata
Carballeira,Cruz,Hill,De Voss,Garson
, p. 1426 - 1429 (2007/10/03)
The novel fatty acids 17-methyl-6(Z)-octadecenoic acid and 17-methyl-7(Z)-octadecenoic acid were identified for the first time in nature in the mollusk Siphonaria denticulata from Queensland, Australia. The principal fatty acids in the limpet were hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, and (Z)-9-octadecenoic acid, while the most interesting series of monounsaturated fatty acids was a family of five nonadecenoic acids with double bonds at either Δ7, Δ9, Δ12, or Δ13. The novel compounds were characterized using a combination of GC-MS and chemical transformations, such as dimethyl disulfide derivatization. The first total syntheses for the two novel methyl-branched nonadecenoic acids are also described, and these were accomplished in four to five steps and in high yields.
