Diastereoselective synthesis and bioactivity of long-chain anti-2-amino-3-alkanols

An improved four-step approach for the stereoselective synthesis of long-chain anti-2-amino-3-alkanols is described. Using this method, the syntheses of antiproliferative (antitumoral) compounds, spisulosine (ES-285, 2), clavaminols A and B (3 and 4), the deacetylated products of clavaminols H and N (7 and 8), as well as (2S,3R)-2-aminododecan-3-ol (9) and xestoaminol C (10), have been achieved in excellent diastereoselectivities. In vitro study showed that these compounds induced cell death and dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation in human glioblastoma cell line SHG-44, indicating the anti-tumor property of this series of compounds.

Antitumoral compounds

New spisulosine derivatives of use in treating tumors are of the formula (I) wherein: each X is the same or different, and represents H, OH, OR′, SH, SR′, SOR′, SO2R′, NO2, NH2, NHR′, N(R′)2, CN, halogen, C(=O)H, C(=O)CH3, CO2H, CO2CH3, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic, or two groups X may together form =O; Y is NR1, OR1, PR1, SR1, or halogen, wherein the number of substituents R1 is selected to suit the valency and each R1 is independently selected of H, OH, C(=O)R′, P(=O)R′R″, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and wherein the dotted line indicates an optional double bond; each Z is the same different, and represents H, OH, OR′, SH, SR′, SOR′, SO2R′, NO2, NH2, NHR′, N(R′)2, NHC(O)R′, CN, halogen, C(=O)H, C(=O)CH3, CO2H, CO2CH3, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic, or two groups Z may together form =O; z is 0 to 25; y is to 0 to 20; R2 is H, C(=O)R′, P(=O)R′R″, S(=O)R′R″, S(=O)2R′, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 Alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl; R3 is H, C(=O)R′, P(=O)R′R″, S(=O)R′R″, S(=O)2R′, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alklyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl; each of the R′, R″ groups is independently selected from the group consisting of H, OH, NO2, NH2, SH, CN, halogen, =O, C(=O)H, C(=O)CH3, CO2H, CO2CH3, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkoxy, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C18 alkynl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl; there may be one or more unsaturations in the hydrocarbon backbone defined by the chain (II) and salts thereof; with the exception of a C16-C24 2-amino-3-hydroxyalkane or a C16-C24 2-amino-3-hydroxyalkene.
