The first systematic investigation into the Baeyer-Villiger reaction of an anthraquinone is presented. The double Baeyer-Villiger reaction of quinizarin dimethyl ether is viable, directly providing the dibenzo[b,f][1,4]-dioxocin-6,11-dione ring-system, which is otherwise difficult to prepare. This methodology provides rapid access to 1,2,3,4-tetraoxygenated benzenes, and has been exploited by application to the total synthesis of a natural occurring benzodioxole and its biphenyl dimer, which both display noteworthy biological activity. Interestingly, the axially chiral biphenyl was found to be configurationally stable, but the resolved enantiomers exhibit no optical activity at the αD-line.

For the search for a domestic natural source of allylpolyalkoxybenzenes and development of an effective process for their isolation, CO2 extracts of several varieties of parsley, dill, celery, caraway, and nutmeg were analyzed systematically for the first time by GC/MS and GLC techniques. The varieties with high contents of myristicin, elemicin, allyltetramethoxybenzene, apiol, and dillapiol were identified. The conditions of CO2 extraction for obtaining concentrates with minimum contents of the distillation residues were selected. Using high performance fractional distillation, polyalkoxyallylbenzenes with 98-99% purity were isolated from the concentrates on a pilot unit. By isomerization of some allylbenzenes followed by ozonolysis under specially selected conditions, apiol-and dillapiolaldehydes were obtained in 75-80% yields.

Ecologically friendly transformation of readily accessible plant allylpolyalkoxybenzenes to hardly available aminotetraalkoxybenzenes has been developed. The efficacy of hydrogenation stage is substantially increased by the application of highly porous ceramic block Pd-catalysts featuring a large surface area, low hydraulic resistance, significant thermal and mechanical stabililty, multiple cycling and easy regeneration.

Free-radical-scavenging capacity antioxidant and membrane-protective properties of natural and related synthetic allylpolyalkoxybenzenes with different numbers of alkoxy/methoxy groups in the aromatic ring were evaluated using several in vitro models. These included the DPPH assay, inhibition of lipid peroxidation products accumulation, inhibition of H2O2-induced hemolysis, and oxidation of oxyhemoglobin. A synthetic protocol for the synthesis of natural nothoapiol (9) from a parsley seed metabolite, apiol (7), was developed. A structure-activity relationship study revealed that both the methylenedioxy fragment and methoxy groups in the aromatic ring are favorable for antioxidant activity. Hydroxyapiol (14), containing a hydroxy group in the aromatic core, was identified as the most potent compound. The pentaalkoxy-substituted nothoapiol (9) showed antioxidant activity in mouse brain homogenates, whereas in mouse erythrocytes it exhibited a marked pro-oxidant effect. Despite their low free-radical-scavenging capacity, allylpolyalkoxybenzenes can contribute to the total antioxidant potencies of plant essential oils.

A technologically advanced protocol has been developed for converting plant allyl(polyalkoxy)benzenes to methyl- and propyl(polyalkoxy)benzenes being intermediates in the syntheses of coenzyme Q0 analogues. The key stage of allyl and benzaldehyde moieties hydrogenation was carried out in a periodical autoclave mode on highly porous ceramic block Pd-catalysts. These catalysts possess large surface area, low hydraulic resistance, significant thermal and mechanical stabililty, multiple cycling and easy regeneration, which can dramatically reduce Pd consumption.

A concise six-step protocol for the synthesis of isoflavone glaziovianin A (GVA) and its alkoxyphenyl derivatives 9 starting with readily available plant metabolites from dill and parsley seeds was developed. The reaction sequence involved an efficient conversion of the key intermediate epoxides 7 into the respective β-ketoaldehydes 8 followed by their Cu(I)-mediated cyclization into the target series 9. The biological activity of GVA and its derivatives was evaluated using a panel of seven human cancer cell lines and an in vivo sea urchin embryo assay. Both screening platforms confirmed the antimitotic effect of the parent GVA (9cg) and its alkoxy derivatives. Structure-activity relationship studies suggested that compounds 9cd and 9cf substituted with trimethoxy- and dillapiol-derived B-rings, respectively, were less active than the parent 9cg. Of the evaluated human cancer cell lines, the A375 melanoma cell line was the most sensitive to the tested molecules. Notably, the target compounds were not cytotoxic against human peripheral blood mononuclear cells up to 10 μM concentration. Phenotypic readouts from the sea urchin assay unequivocally suggest a direct microtubule-destabilizing effect of isoflavones 9cg, 9cd, and 9cf.

Glaziovianin A and its analogues were synthesized in six steps starting from allylpolyalkoxybenzenes separated from essential oils of dill (Anetum graviolens) and parsley (Petro-selinum sativum) seeds.

We have synthesized a series of novel cis-restricted 4,5-polyalkoxydiaryl- 3-aminopyrazole analogues of combretastatins via short synthetic sequences using building blocks isolated from dill and parsley seed extracts. The resulting compounds were tested in vivo in the phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay to reveal their antimitotic and antitubulin effects. The most potent aminopyrazole, 14a, altered embryonic cell division at 10 nM concentration, exhibiting microtubule-destabilizing properties. Compounds 12a and 14a displayed pronounced cytotoxicity in the NCI60 anticancer drug screen, with the ability to inhibit growth of multi-drug-resistant cancer cells.

A series of novel 4-oxa-podophyllotoxin derivatives 7 featuring the intact lactone ring D and various substituents in rings B and E has been synthesized and evaluated in a phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay along with the representative 4-aza-analogs 5 for their antimitotic and microtubule destabilizing activity. The most active compounds exhibited myristicin-derived or a 3′,5′-dimethoxy substitution pattern in the ring E and a 6-methoxy moiety replacing the methylenedioxy ring A. Compounds 5xb, 5xe, 5yb, 7xa, 7xb, and 7xc showed potent antiproliferative effects in the NCI60 cytotoxicity screen. Notably, growth of the multi-drug resistant NCI/ADR-RES cells was more affected by these agents than the parent OVCAR-8 cell line. Although generally 4-oxa-podophyllotoxins were less potent than the respective 4-aza-derivatives in these assays, stability of the former series towards oxidation may prove to be of interest for the development of anticancer agents with in vivo activity.

Phenstatin and its derivatives with the modified ring A have been synthesized, using plant allylpolyalkoxybenzenes as a starting material. The targeted molecules were evaluated in a phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay for antiproliferative activity. It was found that phenstatin ring A modifications yielded antimitotic compounds. The most effective myristicin derivative 7d (combretastatin A-2 analogue) was determined to be ca. 10 times more potent than phenstatin, displaying antimitotic tubulin-destabilizing activity at the same concentration range as combretastatins. In contrast to combretastatins, 7d featured the steric stability with potential for further design as anticancer agent.
