Various analogues of the marine alkaloids, discorhabdins, have been synthesized. The strategy contains spirocyclization with phenyliodine(iii) bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA), oxidative fragmentation of the β-amino alcohols with the hypervalent iodine reagent C6F 5I(OCOCF3)2, the detosylation and dehydrogenation reaction of the pyrroloiminoquinone unit in the presence of a catalytic amount of NaN3 and the bridged ether synthesis with HBr-AcOH as the key reactions. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated by in vitro MTT assay for cytotoxic activity against the human colon cancer cell line HCT-116. Furthermore, the discorhabdin A oxa analogues were also evaluated against four kinds of tumor model cells, a human colon cancer cell line (WiDr), a human prostate cancer cell line (DU-145) and murine leukemia cell lines (P388 and L1210). For the identification of the target, discorhabdin A and the discorhabdin A oxa analogue were evaluated by an HCC panel assay. In the test, discorhabdins could have a novel mode of action with the tumor cells. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.

The characteristic spirodienone structure of the discorhabdin alkaloids is readily formed by reaction of the tyramine-substituted indoloquinonimines 26, 35, and 36 with cupric chloride, triethylamine, and oxygen. This cyclization provides a possibly biomimetic route to discorhabdins C and E (41 and 42). The unbrominated spirodienone 40 reacts with hydrogen over Pd/C to give enone 46. Bromination at the α position gives a mixture of bromoenones that undergo smooth conversion to dethiadiscorhabdin D (4) upon treatment with basic alumina.
