The desymmetrized meso-chimonantine core of leptosin C was prepared in a short stereoselective convergent sequence in 5 steps as the longest linear path from methyl l-tryptophan hydrochloride as starting material. The key step of this approach was a diastereoselective [4+2] cycloaddition between the bromooxindole and tryptophan derivatives allowing to define the adjacent quaternary benzylic centers in a high chemical yield.

Histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACIs) have been widely recognized as significant therapeutic approach to cancers. In our efforts to develop novel histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACIs) as potential anticancer agents, a series of N1-hydroxyterephthalamide derivatives with an indole cap group were designed and synthesized. Compound 12m was identified to be the most potent one (IC50?=?0.074?μm against HeLa nuclear extract) and showed higher inhibitory activity than the positive control SAHA (IC50?=?0.131?μm), which was also verified by further molecular docking studies into active site of HDAC2. The results of selectivity on the inhibition of HDACs exhibited 12m being with similar isoform selective profile with PXD101. In addition, the representative compounds (8d, 12d, 12j, 12m) based on the outcomes of preliminary tumor cell screening demonstrated more potent or comparable to SAHA in the next antiproliferative activity assays. Collectively, the results encouraged further development of this chemical template to provide more potent analogs as HDACIs.

Solid-phase peptide synthesis has been an attractive method for synthesizing peptides because it is quick and can be automated. The heterogeneous reaction medium in solid-phase peptide synthesis necessitates the use of large equivalents of reagents to drive the reactions to completion. Peptide synthesis using soluble, yet isolable, supports is an attractive alternative to solid-phase peptide synthesis. Reported herein is a soluble poly(norbornene)-derived support containing multiple attachment sites for high loading capacities and solubilizing oligoether/alkyl groups. The Ala-attached support has been used to synthesize tri- to octapeptides in 28 to 97% yields using only 1.2 equiv of amino acids and coupling reagents. The acyclic hexapeptide precursor to natural product segatalin A was synthesized in 41% yield on the support using one-eighth of the equivalents of coupling reagents compared to that in reported procedures. The support could be recovered in up to 98% yield after peptide synthesis, and the recovered support was utilized to synthesize tri- and tetrapeptides that contain amino acids other than Ala at the C-terminus in ca. 80% yields.
