Many compound collections used in high-throughput screening are composed of members whose structural complexity is considerably lower than that of natural products. We previously reported a strategy for the synthesis of complex and diverse small molecules from natural products using ring-distortion reactions, called complexity-to-diversity (CtD), and herein, CtD is applied in the synthesis of 16 diverse scaffolds and 65 total compounds from the alkaloid natural product sinomenine. Chemoinformatic analysis shows that these compounds possess complex ring systems and marked three-dimensionality.

Regio- and stereoselective C10β-H functionalization of sinomenine, an economically available natural immunomodulating alkaloid, has been studied, developed and successfully applied to the synthesis of new immunosuppressive sinomenine derivatives in a protecting-free fashion. Regioselective oxidation of sinomenine with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (DIB) in water provided a single stable benzoquinone derivative 4, and subsequent 1,6-conjugated addition of 4 with alcohols, amines, and thiols afforded a new series of C10β-H functionalized sinomenine derivatives stereoselectively. Some derivatives with a newly introduced 10β- bezenesulfanyl substituent exhibited much higher TNF-α inhibitory potency than their natural parent sinomenine. This work opens a convenient access to novel sinomenine derivatives with medicinal interests.

The invention relates to sinomenine derivatives, methods for their synthesis and their applications. The sinomenine derivatives include oxidation derivatives, and C-10 substituted sinomenine derivatives. Based on the readily oxidizable phenol group on sinomenine structure, using oxidation, oxidative dearomatization, or conjugated addition aromatization, one can introduce C-10 substitutions to synthesize the sinomenine derivatives. The sinomenine derivatives of the invention have the following structures: Using in vitro TNF-α inhibition assay, the activities of the synthetic compounds are assessed. Results from these assays shown that most compounds have anti-inflammatory effects, and some compounds have better activities than that of sinomenine. These compounds may be used in treating immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
