, p. 957 - 960 (1998)
A convergent asymmetric synthesis provided (3S)11-fluoro-2,3- oxidosqualene (11-FOS, 14), which was cyclized by bacterial squalene:hopane cyclase to a bridged ether. 11-FOS was neither a substrate nor an inhibitor for vertebrate oxidosqualene:lanosterol c

Here we report a practical and efficient method for the synthesis of menaquinone vitamin (K2) analog MK-6 in all trans forms through “1 + 5 convergent synthetic approach” of pentaprenyl chloride with monoprenyl menadione derivative. In the synergistic factors, less efficient leaving group/more efficient nucleophile (Cl) in the substrate makes it more prominent reaction by eliminating all Sn2’ side reaction products. Further, the addition of acetic acid in the last step (desulfonation) of reaction sequence removes the limitations of the reactions in terms of cyclized side product (multiple reactions of pentaprenyl alcohol with Et3B), byproduct (Et3B, incendiary compound) formations and their interruption in the tricky purification processes. The utility of this method was further extended to find an efficient one-pot synthesis to MK-9 to the gram scale synthesis. This approach is economical and efficient and avoids the awkward chromatographic separation processes.

The initial transfer of a complex glycan in protein N-glycosylation is catalyzed by oligosaccharyltransferase (OST), which is generally a multisubunit membrane protein complex in the endoplasmic reticulum but a single-subunit enzyme (ssOST) in some protists. To investigate the reaction mechanism of ssOST, we recombinantly expressed, purified and characterized the STT3A protein from Trypanosoma brucei (TbSTT3A). We analyzed the in vitro activity of TbSTT3A by synthesizing fluorescently labeled acceptor peptides as well as lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) analogs containing a chitobiose moiety coupled to oligoprenyl carriers of distinct lengths (C10, C15, C20 and C25) and with different double bond stereochemistry. We found that in addition to proline, charged residues at the +1 position of the sequon inhibited glycan transfer. An acidic residue at the -2 position significantly increased catalytic turnover but was not essential, in contrast to the bacterial OST. While all synthetic LLO analogs were processed by TbSTT3A, the length of the polyprenyl tail, but not the stereochemistry of the double bonds, determined their apparent affinity. We also synthesized phosphonate analogs of the LLOs, which were found to be competitive inhibitors of the reaction, although with lower apparent affinity to TbSTT3A than the active pyrophosphate analogs.
Convergent Synthesis of Menaquinone-7 (MK-7)

, p. 1026 - 1033 (2016/11/11)
A practical synthesis of menaquinone-7 (MK-7, Vitamin K2) in the all-trans form was designed. Stereoselective synthesis of MK-7 was achieved through a "1 + 6" convergent strategy by condensation of two building blocks, menadione monoprenyl derivative (fragment "1") with hexaprenyl bromide (fragment "6", 82%). Pd-catalyzed desulfonation with LiEt3BH (78%) was followed by oxidation of the hydroquinone moiety using ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate (72%). The major challenge in our methodology was the preparation of all-trans hexaprenyl bromide by coupling of two triprenyl units derived from trans, trans-farnesol. Manufacturing on a pilot scale was accomplished through our approach. The scalable method was designed especially for a large, kilogram-scale production from easily available intermediates. Furthermore, the proposed methodology avoids many chromatographic purifications and allows for a relatively cost-effective manufacturing. Moreover, our synthesis yielded high-purity (99.9%) final product MK-7, which can be used as a dietary supplement as well as an active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Page/Page column 26; 27, (2014/05/07)
Process for preparation of MK-7 type of vitamin K2 is characterized by attaching hexaprenyl chain of ?all-trans" configuration to monoprenyl derivative of menadiol following ?1 + 6" synthetic strategy. According to the invention, a-sulfonyl carbanion generated in situ from the protected monoprenyl menadiol of the formula (II), wherein R1 represents C1-3-alkyl group, is reacted with hexaprenyl halide of the formula (VII), wherein X represents halogen atom, preferably bromine, both Z' and Z' represent H or one of Z' and Z" represents H and the other represents phenylsulfonyl group -SO2Ph in the alkylation reaction. The hexaprenyl halide of formula (VII) is obtained by coupling two triprenyl units in alkylation reaction, with or without separation of the intermediates.

experimental part, p. 6673 - 6678 (2011/09/30)
Structure-activity relationship of furospinosulin-1 (1), a hypoxia-selective growth inhibitor isolated from marine sponge, was investigated. Concise synthetic method of 1 was developed, and some structurally modified analogues were prepared. Biological evaluation of them revealed that the whole chemical structure was important for the hypoxia-selective growth inhibitory activity of 1. Among prepared, the desmethyl analogue 30 showed excellent hypoxia-selective inhibitory activity similar to that of 1 and also exhibited in vivo anti-tumor activity with oral administration.
