(?)-Podophyllotoxin is one of the most potent microtubule depolymerizing agents and has served as an important lead compound in antineoplastic drug discovery. Reported here is a short chemoenzymatic total synthesis of (?)-podophyllotoxin and related aryltetralin lignans. Vital to this approach is the use of an enzymatic oxidative C?C coupling reaction to construct the tetracyclic core of the natural product in a diastereoselective fashion. This strategy allows gram-scale access to (?)-deoxypodophyllotoxin and is readily adaptable to the preparation of related aryltetralin lignans.

Deoxypodophyllotoxin is a secondary metabolite lignan possessing potent anticancer activity with potential as a precursor for known anticancer drugs, but its use is limited by scarcity from natural sources. We here report the total synthesis of racemic de

A series of aryltetralin lignans 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f, 7g, 7h, 7i, 7j, 7k, 7l were synthesized as cytotoxic isodeoxypodophyllotoxin analogs. The title compounds 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f, 7g, 7h, 7i, 7j, 7k, 7l were synthesized from the reaction of (+)-(R)-4-[benzo(d)(1,3)dioxol-5-ylmethyl]-dihydrofuran-2-(3H)-one with different arylaldehydes to afford benzyl alcohol analogs and subsequent cyclization with trifluoroacetic acid in dichromethane. The preliminary screening of the compounds against viability of blood cancer human cell line K562 revealed that compounds 7d, 7e, and 7f had higher inhibitory activity at 10 μg/mL concentration compared with etoposide as reference drug.
