Synthesis of Kainoids and C4 Derivatives

A unified stereoselective synthesis of 4-substituted kainoids is reported. Four kainic acid analogues were obtained in 8-11 steps with up to 54% overall yields. Starting from trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline, the sequence enables a late-stage modification of C4 substituents with sp2 nucleophiles. Stereoselective steps include a cerium-promoted nucleophilic addition and a palladium-catalyzed reduction. A 10-step route to acid 21a was also established to enable ready functionalization of the C4 position.

(-)-Kainic acid potently increases stretch-induced afferent firing in muscle spindles, probably acting through a hitherto uncloned phospholipase D (PLD)-coupled mGlu receptor. Structural modification of (-)-kainic acid was undertaken to explore the C-4 substituent effect on the pharmacology related to muscle spindle firing. Three analogues 1a-c were synthesised by highly stereoselective additions of a CF3, a hydride and an alkynyl group to the Re face of the key pyrrolidin-4-one intermediate 5a followed by further structural modifications. Only the 4-(1,2,3-triazolyl)-kainate derivative 1c retained the kainate-like agonism, increasing firing in a dose-dependent manner. Further modification of 1c by introduction of a PEG-biotin chain on the 1,2,3-triazole fragment afforded compound 14 which retained robust agonism at 1 μM and appears to be suitable for future use in pull-down assays and far western blotting for PLD-mGluR isolation.

Asymmetric Synthesis of 3S, 4R-Dihydroxypyrrolidines by Regio- and Stereoselective Hydroxylation of 4-Oxoproline Enolate

A short, efficient and stereoselective synthesis of enantiomerically pure (2R,3S,4R) 3,4-dihydroxy-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine, a galactosidase inhibitor, from 4-hydroxy-L-proline is presented.The key steps are the regio- and stereoselective hydroxylation
