ABSTRACT: Total syntheses of kalkitoxin, isolated from the Caribbean Lyngbya
majuscula, and its analogues, 3-epi-, 7-epi-, 8-epi-, 10-epi-, 10-nor-, and 16-nor-kalkitoxin,
were achieved via oxazolidinone-based diastereoselective 1,4-addition reaction of a
methyl group and efficient TiCl4-mediated thiazoline ring formation as the key steps.

thiol amide and benzyl-protected thiol amide, and their IC50
values were found to be 1.0, 190, and 400 ng/mL, respectively.
We have been attracted by the intriguing biological activities
and structure−activity relationships of 1 and its congeners, such
as diastereomers and demethylated kalkitoxins (nor-kalkitoxins).
With the synthesis of various analogues in mind, a flexible syn-
thetic route to easily change each stereogenic center was
required. In the present paper, we describe the highly stereo-
selective synthesis of 1 and its analogues, 3-epi-kalkitoxin (2),
7-epi-kalkitoxin (3), 8-epi-kalkitoxin (4), 10-epi- kalkitoxin (5),
10-nor-kalkitoxin (6), and 16-nor-kalkitoxin (7), via the Hruby
method with excellent stereochemical control of both the C7
and C10 stereogenic centers and a highly efficient thiazoline
ring formation from trityl-protected thiol amide with TiCl4 as
the key steps (Figure 1). The biological activities, i.e., LC50
values, of the synthetic kalkitoxins were also evaluated with
brine shrimp.
INTRODUCTION
■
Kalkitoxin (1) was isolated from the cyanobacterium Lyngbya
majuscula in the Caribbean Sea by Gerwick and co-workers in
2000.1 It is reported that 1 possesses some interesting
biological activities. For example, 1 shows strong ichthyotoxic
activity toward the common goldfish (Carassius auratus, LC50
=
700 nM) and brine shrimp (Artemia salina, LC50 = 170 nM).1
Also, 1 exhibits strong neurotoxicity (LC50 = 3.86 nM) in
cerebellar granule neurons (CGN) as an inhibitor of N-methyl-
D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists3 and is a highly
potent blocker of the voltage-dependent sodium channel in
mouse neuro-2a cells (EC50 = 1 nM).1,4 As a structural feature,
1 has five asymmetric centers: four methyl groups and a
thiazoline ring containing a vinyl group. Due to its interesting
biological activities as well as its intriguing structure, two total
syntheses have been reported to date. The first total synthesis
of 1 was reported by the Shioiri’s group using Hruby’s diastereo-
selective 1,4-addition reaction5 of methyl cuprate controlled
by Evans chiral oxazolidinone auxiliary6 for construction of
the stereogenic center at the C7 position and thiazoline ring
formation via an oxazoline ring as the key steps.1,2 In the course
of the synthesis, the structure of 1 including absolute and
relative configurations was unambiguously determined through
the synthesis of its stereoisomers (kalkitoxin, 2′-epi-kalkitoxin,
di-3,2′-epi-kalkitoxin, di-10,2′-epi-kalkitoxin, ent-kalkitoxin, 3-epi-
ent-kalkitoxin, and di-3,8-epi-ent-kalkitoxin) based on the fore-
cast with 1D and 2D NMR spectra of natural kalkitoxin.1,2
They also reported LC50 values of the synthetic kalkitoxins
toward brine shrimp (550 nM for 2′-epi-kalkitoxin, 1700 nM
for di-3,2′-epi-kalkitoxin, 1100 nM for di-10,2′-epi-kalkitoxin,
9300 nM for ent-kalkitoxin, inactive for 3-epi-ent-kalkitoxin, and
inactive for di-3,8-epi-ent-kalkitoxin). The second synthesis was
achieved by White’s group.7 The key reaction in the synthesis
was a diastereoselective 1,4-addition reaction of an alkyl cuprate
to install the stereochemistry at C10 followed by alkylation of
the resultant enolate with MeI (3.6:1 diastereomeric ratio) to
construct the contiguous stereochemistry at C7 and C8 in a
one-pot reaction.8 This group also conducted a clonogenic
assay using HCT-116 cells with 1 and its two intermediates,
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
■
The retrosynthetic analysis of 1 was designed to overcome the
challenges for the synthesis of some isomers and is described in
Scheme 1. We envisioned that 1 would be accessed from the
amide 8 with a S-trityl group by highly effective TiCl4-mediated
thiazoline ring formation via removal of the trityl group
followed by dehydration. The amide 8 would be synthesized by
coupling between the carboxylic acid 9 and the amine 10
derived from L-cysteine with the stereochemical center set at
C3. The stereogenic center at C7 of 9 would be installed by
the application of the Hruby method to the α,β-unsaturated
imide 11, obtained through coupling between the known
carboxylic acid 12 and the amine 13. The stereochemistry at
C10 of 13 was constructed in a similar manner, employing the
α,β-unsaturated imide 14 prepared from the commercially
available ester 15. To access the epimers, we would employ
either the Evans chiral oxazolidinone auxiliary with the opposite

synthesized as shown in Scheme 6. To access 2, the amine
With the carboxylic acid 9 in hand, we then turned our
attention to the synthesis of the amine 10 employing the
Weinreb amide 24, which was produced from L-cysteine
following a known synthetic scheme.21 First, we attempted
Wittig olefination of the aldehyde obtained by reduction of 24
with LiAlH4. However, partial racemization was observed under
the strong basic conditions required for generation of Ph3P
CH2.22 To avoid the racemization, a novel olefination proce-
dure using 24 was developed. After addition of MeMgBr to
24, conversion of the resultant methyl ketone into the enol
triflate 2523 with PhNTf2 and KHMDS, followed by successive
reduction of 25 with Bu3SnH and LiCl catalyzed by Pd(0),24
successfully provided the olefin 26 in good yield (Scheme 4).

ent-10 was prepared from D-cysteine following the same
synthetic procedure as that for the preparation of 10 from

and ent-10 with EDCI and DMAP gave the amide 28, which
was subjected to TiCl4-promoted thiazoline ring formation to
afford 2.
Removal of the Boc group with TFA25 yielded the amine 10 in
enantiomerically pure form.26 Condensation between 9 and 10
with EDCI and DMAP gave the amide 27 in excellent yield

formed to 3 by the same reaction sequence as that employed

available ester ent-15 (Scheme 8). HWE reaction of ent-16 with
17 afforded the α,β-unsaturated imide 32. Installation of the
methyl group via 1,4-addition was stereocontrolled to furnish
the imide 33 with 5:1 selectivity,12 which led to the amine 35
through the same sequence of reactions as for the preparation
of 13 from 18 (Scheme 2). The amine 35 so obtained was
converted to 4 via construction of C7 stereochemistry12 using
the same synthetic protocol as for the total synthesis of 1.
The synthesis of 10-epi-kalkitoxin (5) is shown in Scheme 9.
The synthesis started from the amine ent-35, derived from 16
the total synthesis of 1.28 As shown in Scheme 11, 7 was
elaborated from 21 using the same synthetic method as for
the total synthesis of 1 without methylation of the amide
moiety of 21.28
With seven kalkitoxins in hand, we examined their biological
activities. The biological activities were evaluated as LC50
(median lethal concentration) values against brine shrimp.
The results are shown in Table 1. Our synthetic kalkitoxin (1)
exhibited an LC50 value (0.18 μM) that corresponded closely
to that of the natural kalkitoxin (0.17 μM) and the synthetic
kalkitoxin (0.17 μM) previously synthesized by Shioiri. LC50
values for unnatural epi-kalkitoxins, 3-epi-kalkitoxin (2), 7-epi-
kalkitoxin (3), 8-epi-kalkitoxin (4), and 10-epi-kalkitoxin (5)
were 15, 3.6, 1.7, and 0.62 μM, respectively. These unnatural
analogues were 3.3−80 times less potent than the natural
kalkitoxin. The nor-kalkitoxins, 10-nor-kalkitoxin (6) and 16-
nor-kalkitoxin (7), were also less active than kalkitoxin
(LC50 1.8 μM for 6, and inactive for 7). In addition, Shioiri
reported an LC50 value (0.55 μM) for 2′-epi-kalkitoxin similar
to those for the other epi-kalkitoxins. Clearly, all of the meth-
yl groups within kalkitoxin and the stereochemistry of the five
chiral centers is important for the biological activities of
kalkitoxins. Furthermore, the N-methyl group was found to be
essential.

CONCLUSION
■
In summary, the total synthesis of kalkitoxin and its analogues
was achieved through the oxazolidinone-based diastereoselec-
tive 1,4-addition reaction of a methyl group and highly efficient
thiazoline ring formation mediated by TiCl4 from trityl-
protected thiol amide. The flexible synthetic route allowed
the synthesis of epi- and nor-kalkitoxins by simply changing the
stereochemistry of the chiral auxiliaries or building blocks.
The biological activities of the synthetic kalkitoxins revealed
that all of the methyl groups and the stereochemistry of the five
chiral centers, as well as the N-methyl group, were vital for the
toxicity of kalkitoxin.
and ent-17 through the same reaction sequence as for the
preparation of 35 from ent-16 and 17 (Scheme 8). The amine
ent-35 was successfully converted to 5 following the synthetic
procedure for the elaboration of 1.28
Synthesis of novel congeners 10-nor-kalkitoxin (6) and 16-
nor-kalkitoxin (7) was also performed. The synthesis of 6
commenced with 16 (Scheme 10). Wittig reaction of 16 with
Ph3PCHCO2Me produced the α,β-unsaturated ester 44,
which was transformed into the alcohol 46 through hydro-
genation of the olefin using Pd−C as catalyst and reduction
of the ester moiety with DIBAL. The alcohol 46 was then
converted to 6 according to the synthetic scheme developed for

Brine Shrimp Toxicity Assay. We tested the toxicity of the CSLs
using a modified method.29 Ten hatched brine shrimp, in ∼4.95 mL of
seawater, were added to each well containing different concentrations
of the compounds in 50 μL of EtOH or 50% EtOH to make a total
volume of 5 mL. Samples and controls were tested in duplicate. The
numbers of live and dead brine shrimp were counted after 24 h at 25 °C.

(26) Although an amide that was synthesized from (−)-O-methyl
mandelic acid and 10 obtained through Wittig olefination was a
mixture of epimers (1.5−9:1), condensation between (−)-O-methyl
mandelic acid and 10 prepared via Pd(0)-catalyzed reduction gave the
corresponding amide as a single diastereomer; see Supporting Information.

at C7 could not be estimated employing the same HPLC analysis
method as that for determination of isomeric ratios of addition

of the carboxylic acids yielded through hydrolysis of the addition prod-
ucts 43, 51, and 54, peaks due to trace amounts of the corresponding
7-epi isomers only were observed. Therefore, it seems feasible that
these addition reactions occurred with high diastereoselectivity.

(12) In 1,4-addition reactions to 14 and 32, diastereomeric ratios
were determined from 1H NMR spectra and HPLC chromatograms of
1
the addition products 18 and 33. In contrast, H NMR spectra of the
adducts 23, 30, and 39 produced by 1,4-addition of 11, 29, and 38
were too complex due to the presence of rotamers with regard to the
amide moieties to estimate isomeric ratios. In these cases, diastereo-
meric ratios were determined by HPLC analysis of the corresponding
methyl esters derived from 23, 30, and 39; see Supporting Information.

(19) We found that 1,4-addition reaction of 11 took place with high
stereoselectivity by using only THF as a solvent, although the
combination of THF and Me2S was employed as a solvent in the
1,4-addition of 11 during the total synthesis of 1 by Shioiri’s group;
see ref 1.
