α-Amanitin is an extremely toxic bicyclic octapeptide isolated from the death-cap mushroom, Amanita phalloides. As a potent inhibitor of RNA polymerase II, α-amanitin is toxic to eukaryotic cells. Recent interest in α-amanitin arises from its promise as a payload for antibody-drug conjugates. For over 60 years, A. phalloides has been the only source of α-amanitin. Here we report a synthesis of α-amanitin, which surmounts the key challenges for installing the 6-hydroxy-tryptathionine sulfoxide bridge, enantioselective synthesis of (2S,3R,4R)-4,5-dihydroxy-isoleucine, and diastereoselective sulfoxidation.

The stabilization of peptide secondary structure via stapling is a ubiquitous goal for creating new probes, imaging agents, and drugs. Inspired by indole-derived crosslinks found in natural peptide toxins, we employed ortho-phthalaldehydes to create isoindole staples, thus transforming inactive linear and monocyclic precursors into bioactive monocyclic and bicyclic products. Mild, metal-free conditions give an array of macrocyclic α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) derivatives, of which several isoindole-stapled α-MSH analogues (Ki≈1 nm) are found to be as potent as α-MSH. Analogously, late-stage intra-annular isoindole stapling furnished a bicyclic peptide mimic of α-amanitin that is cytotoxic to CHO cells (IC50=70 μm). Given its user-friendliness, we have termed this approach FlICk (fluorescent isoindole crosslink) chemistry.
CYCLIC PEPTIDE ANALOGS OF MELANOCORTIN AND AMANITIN AND METHODS OF MAKING SUCH

The invention described herein is based in part on the discovery of a protein/peptide crosslink, which introduces fluorescent properties, and which has been applied to synthesize analogues of melanocortin and amanitin as choice peptides to be explored in the context of isoindole peptides. Without limitation, it is expected that those trained in the art of peptide synthesis and stapling would appreciate the consequences of this invention such that other peptides of varied length can be similarly constrained by isoindole staples as featured herein.

A total synthesis of the proposed structures of fulicineroside and its aglycone fulicinerine is reported. The tetrasubstituted dibenzofuran substructure was accessible either through a Pd-mediated ortho-metalation or by an Ir-catalyzed meta-borylation. The synthesis of the β,β,α- linked trisaccharide consisting of D-olivose, L-rhodinose, and L-rhamnose was challenged by the unprecedented β-linked rhodinose. A Pd-catalyzed β-selective glycosylation of a 4-epi-rhodinose and a subsequent Mitsunobu inversion provided selectively the β-linked L-rhodinose-L-rhamnose disaccharide. Comparison with the reported data for the natural product and the aglycone suggests a misassignment of the structure of the natural product. Natural product reassignment: Total synthesis of the proposed structures for fulicineroside and its aglycone fulicinerine has been achieved (see figure). Key issues were the tetrasubstituted dibenzofuran and the trisaccharide with its β-linkage between L-rhodinose and L-rhamnose. A comparison with the reported data for the natural product and the aglycone suggests a misassignment of the structure of the natural product. Copyright
Polyketide assembly by alkene-alkyne reductive cross-coupling: Spiroketals through the union of homoallylic alcohols

A reaction sequence composed of regioselective formal hydroalkynylation, reductive ene-yne cross-coupling, and oxidative cyclization has been developed to prepare stereochemically dense spiroketals. Overall, the chemistry defines a three-component coupling process for the union of two homoallylic alcohol-based substrates with trimethylsilylacetylene.
