- Highly efficient kinetic resolution of aryl-alkenyl alcohols by ru-catalyzed hydrogen transfer
-
No matter through asymmetric reduction of ketones or kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols, enantioselective synthesis of the corresponding secondary alcohols is challenging when the two groups attached to the prochiral or chiral centers are spatially

- Characterization of a structural leoligin analog as farnesoid X receptor agonist and modulator of cholesterol transport
-
The ligand-activated farnesoid X receptor is an emerging therapeutic target for the development of drugs against metabolic syndrome-related diseases. In this context, selective bile acid receptor modulators represent a novel concept for drug development. Selective bile acid receptor modulators act in a target gene- or tissue-specific way and are therefore considered less likely to elicit unwanted side effects. Based on leoligin, a lignan-type secondary plant metabolite from the alpine plant Leontopodium nivale ssp. alpinum, 168 synthesized structural analogs were screened in a farnesoid X receptor in silico pharmacophore-model. Fifty-six virtual hits were generated. These hits were tested in a cell-based farnesoid X receptor transactivation assay and yielded 7 farnesoid X receptor-activating compounds. The most active one being LT-141A, with an EC50 of 6 μM and an Emax of 4.1-fold. This analog did not activate the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor, TGR5, and the metabolic nuclear receptors retinoid X receptor α, liver X receptors α/β, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors β/γ. Investigation of different farnesoid X receptor target genes characterized LT-141A as selective bile acid receptor modulators. Functional studies revealed that LT-141A increased cholesterol efflux from THP-1-derived macrophages via enhanced ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 expression. Moreover, cholesterol uptake in differentiated Caco-2 cells was significantly decreased upon LT-141A treatment. In conclusion, the leoligin analog LT-141A selectively activates the nuclear receptor farnesoid X receptor and has an influence on cholesterol transport in 2 model systems.

Recently, a natural compound leoligin, a furan-type lignan, was discovered as an interesting hit compound with an anti-inflammatory pharmacological activity profile. We developed a modular and stereoselective approach for the synthesis of the edelweiss-de

- Isothiourea-Catalysed Acylative Kinetic Resolution of Aryl–Alkenyl (sp2vs. sp2) Substituted Secondary Alcohols
-
The non-enzymatic acylative kinetic resolution of challenging aryl–alkenyl (sp2vs. sp2) substituted secondary alcohols is described, with effective enantiodiscrimination achieved using the isothiourea organocatalyst HyperBTM (1 mol %) and isobutyric anhydride. The kinetic resolution of a wide range of aryl–alkenyl substituted alcohols has been evaluated, with either electron-rich or naphthyl aryl substituents in combination with an unsubstituted vinyl substituent providing the highest selectivity (S=2–1980). The use of this protocol for the gram-scale (2.5 g) kinetic resolution of a model aryl–vinyl (sp2vs. sp2) substituted secondary alcohol is demonstrated, giving access to >1 g of each of the product enantiomers both in 99:1 e.r.

- Synthesis of enantiopure 1-arylprop-2-en-1-ols and their tert-butyl carbonates
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Enantiomerically pure 1-arylpropenols 8 have been prepared by resolution of the corresponding racemates, using the lipase formulation Novozyme 435. Deprotonation of the latter alcohols with n-BuLi, followed by derivatization with (t- BuO)2CO, afforded the corresponding carbonates 5. Optimization of the process is presented.

- Concise enantioselective synthesis of furan lignans (-)-dihydrosesamin and (-)-acuminatin and furofuran lignans (-)-sesamin and (-)-methyl piperitol by radical cyclization of epoxides
-
Enantioselective syntheses of furan lignans (-)-dihydrosesamin and (-)-acuminatin and furofuran lignans (-)-sesamin and (-)-methyl piperitol were achieved in up to only three steps in 43%, 42%, 63%, and 60% overall yield, respectively, with high optical purity through stereoselective intramolecular radical cyclization of suitably substituted epoxy olefinic ethers using bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(III) chloride as the radical initiator. The key intermediate, chiral epoxy alcohol 4, was prepared by the Sharpless kinetic resolution method. The titanium(III) initiator was prepared in situ from commercially available titanocene dichloride and activated zinc dust in tetrahydrofuran. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
