A synthetic route to liphagal, a natural PI3Kα inhibitor isolated from Aka coralliphaga, was established. The present route features an organic redox process where an alkynylquinone undergoes reductive cyclization in the presence of a hydroquinone derivative such as hydroxyquinol (1,2,4-benzenetriol) and catalytic PdCl2 to provide a substituted benzofuran suitable for accessing the natural product. The benzofuran formation takes place via the redox transformation between the alkynylquinone and the electron-rich hydroquinones followed by the concomitant Pd(II)-catalyzed oxycyclization of the resultant alkynylhydroquinone.
Conjugated nitro alkene anticancer agents based on isoprenoid metabolism

Conjugated nitro alkene compounds hamper or prevent proliferation of cancer cells in cell culture and in cancer patients, which can result in a decrease in tumor size and/or disappearance of the cancer. The compounds may act by interference with cancer cell biochemistry, in which isoprenoid groups such as farnesyl and geranylgeranyl become bonded to various oncogenic proteins such as Ras, RhoA, RhoB, or some other growth-related cellular protein(s).

Porapak Q volatile extracts of female Ascogaster quadridentata, an egg- larval endoparasitoid of codling moth, Cydia pomonella, bioassayed in Y-tube olfactometers attracted male, but not female, A. quadridentata. Coupled gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) analysis of bioactive extracts revealed three compounds that elicited responses by male A. quadridentata antennae. GC-mass spectra (MS) indicated, and comparative analyses of authentic standards confirmed, that these compounds were (Z,Z)9.12-octadecadienal, (Z)-9-hexadecenal, and 3,7,11-trimethyl-6E, 10- dodecadienal. (Z,Z)-9,12-Octadecadienal alone attracted laboratory-reared male A. quadridentata in Y-tube olfactometer and field-cage bioassays, and attracted feral A. quadridentata in a field experiment. This sex pheromone could be used to help detect populations of A. quadridentata, delineate their distributions, and determine potential sources of parasitoids for capture and release in integrated programs for control of C. pomonella.
