Epothilones C, E and F

Epothilone derivatives are obtained by: (1) cultivation of Sorangium cellulosum DSM 6773 in the presence of an absorption resin; (2) separation of the resin and culture followed by washing with aqueous methanol; (3) eluting the washed resin with methanol and reducing the extract; (4) partitioning the extract between methanol and hexane; (5) reducing the methanolic phase and fractionating it on a Sephadex column, and (6) isolation of the epothilones by chromatography using a methanol/water mixture. Epothilone A is followed by epothilone B, and two further fractions.

Total synthesis of epothilone A through stereospecific epoxidation of the p-methoxybenzyl ether of epothilone C

The total synthesis of epothilone A is described by the coupling four segments 4 - 7a. Three of the segments, 4, 5 and 7a, have only one chiral center; all other chiral centers were introduced by simple asymmetric catalytic reactions. The key steps are the ring opening of epoxide 5 with acetylide 8 for the construction of the C12-C13 cis double bond and a practical hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) developed by Jacobsen group for the introduction the chiral center at C3. Especially, the stereospecific epoxidation of 3-O-PMB epothilone C 3b through long-range effect of 3-O-PMB protecting group gave high yields of the C12 - C13 α-epoxide for the synthesis of target molecule.

Synthesis and biological activity of novel epothilone aziridines.

[reaction: see text]. A series of 12alpha,13alpha-aziridinyl epothilone derivatives were synthesized in an efficient manner from epothilone A. The final semisynthetic route involves a formal double-inversion of stereochemistry at both the C12 and C13 posi

The olefin metathesis approach to epothilone A and its analogues

The olefin metathesis approach to epothilone A (1) and several analogues (39-41, 42-44, 51-57, 58-60, 64-65, and 67-69) is described. Key building blocks 6-8 were constructed in optically active form and were coupled and elaborated to olefin metathesis pr

Total Synthesis of Epothilones A and B

Convergent, stereocontrolled total syntheses of the microtubule-stabilizing macrolides epothilones A (2) and B (3) have been achieved. Four distinct ring-forming strategies were pursued (see Scheme 1). Of these four, three were reduced to practice. In one approach, the action of a base on a substance possessing an acetate ester and a nonenolazable aldehyde brought about a remarkably effective macroaldolization see (89 -> 90 + 91; 99 -> 100 + 101), simultaneously creating the C2-C3 bond and the hydroxyl-bearing stereocenter at C-3. Alternatively, the 16-membered macrolide of the epothilones could be fashioned through a C12-C13 ring-closing olefin metathesis (e.g. see 111 -> 90 + 117; 122 -> 105 + 123) and through macrolactonization of the appropriate hydroxy acid (e.g. see 88 -> 93). The application of a stereospecific B-alkyl Suzuki coupling strategy permitted the establishment of a cis-C12-C13 olefin, thus setting the stage for an eventual site- and diastereoselective epoxidation reaction (see 96 -> 2; 106 -> 3). The development of a novel cyclopropane solvolysis strategy for incorporating the geminal methyl groups of the epothilones (see 39 -> 40 -> 41), and the use of Lewis acid catalyzed diene-aldehyde cyclocondensation (LACDAC) (see 35 + 36 -> 37) and asymmetric allylation (see 10 -> 76) methodology are also noteworthy.

Total synthesis of epothilone A: The olefin metathesis approach

A flexible alterative route to the total synthesis of the antitumor agent epothilone A has been achieved by a highly convergent strategy involving olefin metathesis as a key step. The strategy may allow the chemical synthesis of a library of designed epothilones for biological screening.
