The first Z-stereoselective method for the synthesis of the natural marine alkynol lembehyne C, containing a 1Z,5Z,9Z-triene moiety, in 41% yield was developed using the new Ti-catalyzed cross-coupling of oxygenated and aliphatic 1,2-dienes as the key step. It was found for the first time that lembehyne C exhibits moderate cytotoxicity against Jurkat, K562, U937, and HL60 cancer cells and also efficiently induces apoptosis in Jurkat cells, with the cell death mechanism being activated by the mitochondrial pathway. The lembehyne C inhibition of the cell cycle follows the mitotic catastrophe mechanism.

Trehalose dimycolates (TDMs) are the most abundant glycolipids found in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). TDMs play an important role in the pathogenesis of M. tb yet the only known receptor for TDM is the macrophage inducible C-type lectin (mincle). To understand more about the interaction of TDMs with immune cells, affinity based proteome profiling (AfBPP) can be used to determine receptors that bind TDMs. To this end, we present the synthesis of the first AfBPP-TDM probe and report on its ability to activate macrophages. By doing so, we establish that the AfBPP-TDM probe appears to be a suitable substrate for future proteomic profiling experiments.
PMHS-mediated couplings of alkynes or benzothiazoles with various electrophiles: Application to the synthesis of (-)-akolactone A

Polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) in combination with CsF facilitates the cross-coupling of alkynes or benzothiazoles with an array of vinyl, styryl, and aryl halides or nonaflates as well as acid chlorides. Experimental and spectroscopic evidence indicates that these reactions involve the in situ generation of a siloxyl intermediate. These cross-couplings proceed relatively quickly at room temperature and under amine-free conditions. To demonstrate the applicability of the method, a total synthesis of the cyctotoxic butanolide (-)-akolactone A was carried out.
