Chagas disease and visceral leishmaniasis are neglected protozoan diseases with significant impact in developing countries. Due to the limited number and toxicity of current therapies, new drug leads are urgently needed. In this work, four aporphine natural products were synthesized using an enantioselective, modular and convergent strategy, comprising eight steps in the longest linear sequence; key steps included Bischler-Napieralski cyclization/Noyori asymmetric reduction to construct the tetrahydroisoquinolines, and palladium-catalyzed arylation to close the C ring. Norglaucine, nordicentrine and dicentrine showed promising bioactivity against T. cruzi and L. infantum, suggesting potential for further development of these scaffolds as antiparasitic agents.

The N-homologues and optical isomers of thaliporphine (5a), a potent antiarrhythmic agent, were prepared starting from laurolitsine (1), an abundant aporphine present in Phoebe formosana. Treating N-propylnorglaucine with 90% H2SO4 yielded one additional product, an 11-sulfonyl-1,11-anhydroaporphine. Reaction of N-formylnorglaucine (3a) with 90% H2SO4, however, yielded the 9-sulfonyl-seco product as a major product. Treatment of 3a with 98% H2SO4 yielded pancordine (10), which, upon catalytic hydrogenation, yielded (±)-wilsonirine. 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis was applied successfully to monitor the optical purity of the crystalline salt while undertaking optical resolution. Thaliporphine (5a) was demonstrated to possess better positive inotropic and less negative chronotropic effects than the left-hand optical isomer and showed the best activity on rat cardiac tissue among the N-homologues prepared.
