We report here a concise, collective, and asymmetric total synthesis of sarpagine alkaloids and biogenetically related koumine alkaloids, which structurally feature a rigid cage scaffold, with L-tryptophan as the starting material. Two key bridged skeleton-forming reactions, namely tandem sequential oxidative cyclopropanol ring-opening cyclization and ketone α-allenylation, ensure concurrent assembly of the caged sarpagine scaffold and installation of requisite derivative handles. With a common caged intermediate as the branch point, by taking advantage of ketone and allene groups therein, total synthesis of five sarpagine alkaloids (affinisine, normacusine B, trinervine, Na-methyl-16-epipericyclivine, and vellosimine) with various substituents and three koumine alkaloids (koumine, koumimine, and N-demethylkoumine) with more complex cage scaffolds has been accomplished.
Structure-guided design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of (2-(1 H-Indol-3-yl)-1 H-imidazol-4-yl)(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl) methanone (ABI-231) analogues targeting the colchicine binding site in Tubulin

ABI-231 is a potent, orally bioavailable tubulin inhibitor that interacts with the colchicine binding site and is currently undergoing clinical trials for prostate cancer. Guided by the crystal structure of ABI-231 in complex with tubulin, we performed structure-activity relationship studies around the 3-indole moiety that led to the discovery of several potent ABI-231 analogues, most notably 10ab and 10bb. The crystal structures of 10ab and 10bb in complex with tubulin confirmed their improved molecular interactions to the colchicine site. In vitro, biological studies showed that new ABI-231 analogues disrupt tubulin polymerization, promote microtubule fragmentation, and inhibit cancer cell migration. In vivo, analogue 10bb not only significantly inhibits primary tumor growth and decreases tumor metastasis in melanoma xenograft models but also shows a significant ability to overcome paclitaxel resistance in a taxane-resistant PC-3/TxR model. In addition, pharmacological screening suggested that 10bb has a low risk of potential off-target function.

A catalytic enantioselective construction of vicinal stereocenters is reported. The reaction takes advantage of thiourea-catalyzed intramolecular nitronate addition onto α,β-unsaturated ester to afford exceptional levels of enantioselectivity (up to 97 % ee) with moderate diastereoselectivity (up to 4:1). Using this method, a cross-conjugated ester was synthesized in few steps, from which a 6-endo-trig cyclisation led to the formation of all required functionalities for total syntheses of ergot alkaloids. The strategy not only offers first total syntheses of ergot alkaloids, festuclavine (1 c), and pyroclavine (1 e), and but also an efficient and general approach to other congeners such as, lysergol (1 b), and isolysergol (1 d).

Cycloclavine is a clavine-type Ergot alkaloid noteworthy for its unique pentacyclic skeleton featuring a 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane substructure. A short convergent route to the racemic alkaloid is described which comprises only eight linear steps and requires only four chromatographic purifications. The two key building blocks can be prepared in high yield from commercially available starting materials. Two consecutive coupling reactions, namely a selective alkylation of a dienolate and a Heck reaction, are the key steps of the reaction sequence. (Chemical Equation Presented).

A new method for the synthesis of tricyclic biaryl ether-linked ring systems incorporating seven-, eight-, and nine-membered ring amines is presented. In the presence of catalytic quantities of copper(I), readily accessible acyclic precursors undergo an intramolecular carbon-oxygen bond-forming reaction facilitated by a templating chelating nitrogen atom. The methodology displays a broad substrate scope, is practical, and generates rare and biologically interesting tricyclic heteroaromatic products that are difficult to access by other means.

Various approaches to the indole bis-oxazole fragment of the marine secondary metabolite diazonamide A are described, all of which feature dirhodium(II)-catalyzed reactions of diazocarbonyl compounds in key steps. Thus, 3-bromophenylacetaldehyde is conver
