Lamellarin D, a marine natural product, acts as a potent inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I). To modify its physicochemical property and biological activity, a series of mono- and di-glycosylated derivatives were designed and synthesized through 22–26 multi-steps. Their inhibition of human Topo I was evaluated, and most of the glycosylated derivatives exhibited high potency in inhibiting Topo I activity as well as lamellarin D. All the 15 target compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against five human cancer cell lines. The typical lamellarin derivative ZL?3 exhibited the best activity with IC50 values of 3 nM, 10 nM, and 15 nM against human lung cancer A549 cells, human colon cancer HCT116 cells and human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Compound ZL?1 exhibited anti-cancer activity with IC50 of 14 nM and 24 nM against human colon cancer HCT116 cells and human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells, respectively. Cell cycle analysis in MDA-MB-231 suggested ZL?3 inhibited cell growth through arresting cells at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Further tests showed a significant improvement in aqueous solubility of ZL?1 and ZL?7. This study suggested that glycosylation could be utilized as a useful strategy to optimize lamellarin D derivatives as Topo I inhibitors and anticancer agents.

Cancer cell proliferation in some organs often depends on conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate via pyruvate carboxylase (PC) for replenishing the tricarboxylic acid cycle to support biomass production. In this study, PC was identified as the cellular target of erianin using the photoaffinity labeling-click chemistry-based probe strategy. Erianin potently inhibited the enzymatic activity of PC, which mediated the anticancer effect of erianin in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Erianin modulated cancer-related gene expression and induced changes in metabolic intermediates. Moreover, erianin promotes mitochondrial oxidative stress and inhibits glycolysis, leading to insufficient energy required for cell proliferation. Analysis of 14 natural analogs of erianin showed that some compounds exhibited potent inhibitory effects on PC. These results suggest that PC is a cellular target of erianin and reveal the unrecognized function of PC in HCC tumorigenesis; erianin along with its analogs warrants further development as a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HCC.

A modular hybrid strategy has been developed for the diversity-oriented synthesis of lamellarins/azalamellarins. The common pentacyclic pyrrolodihydroisoquinoline lactone/lactam core was formed via the Michael addition/ring closure (Mi-RC) and the copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC)-catalyzed C-O/C-N Ullmann coupling. Subsequent direct functionalization at C1, DDQ-mediated C5C6 oxidation, and global deprotection of all benzyl-type O- and N-protecting groups furnished the desired lamellarins/azalamellarins. The late-stage functionalization at C1 provided a handle to accommodate a wider scope of functional groups as they need to tolerate only the DDQ oxidation and global deprotection. Moreover, with the C1-H pyrrole as the late-stage common intermediate, it was also possible to divergently exploit not only its nucleophilic nature to react with some electrophilic species but also some transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (via the intermediacy of the C1-iodopyrrole) to incorporate diversity at this position. Overall, this strategy simplifies the preparation of lamellarins/azalamellarins; including the Mi-RC, these C1-structurally diverse analogues could be prepared efficiently in 6-7 steps from the easily accessed 1-acetoxymethyldihydroisoquinoline and β-nitrocinnamate. Some selected azalamellarins were evaluated for their inhibitory effect against HeLa cervical cancer cells. An acute induction of intrinsic apoptosis was detected and may lead to growth suppression of or cytotoxicity against cancer cells.

Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) is essential for synaptic transmission of all biogenic amines in the brain including serotonin, norepinephrine, histamine, and dopamine (DA). Given its crucial role in the neurophysiology and pharmacology of the central nervous system, VMAT2 is recognized as an important therapeutic target for various neurological disorders such as tardive dyskinesia (TD). Here, a novel series of dihydrotetrabenazine derivative analogs were designed and synthesized to evaluate their effects on [3H]dihydrotetrabenazine (DTBZ) binding and [3H]DA uptake at VMAT2. Of these analogs, compound 13e showed a high binding affinity for VMAT2 (IC50 = 5.13 ± 0.16 nM) with excellent inhibition of [3H]DA uptake (IC50 = 6.04 ± 0.03 nM) in striatal synaptosomes. In human liver microsomes, 13e was more stable (T1/2 = 161.2 min) than other reported VMAT2 inhibitors such as DTBZ (T1/2 = 119.5 min). In addition, 13e effectively inhibited the spontaneous locomotor activity (percent inhibition at 3 μmol/kg = 64.7%) in Sprague-Dawley rats. Taken together, our results indicate that 13e might be a promising lead compound for the development of novel treatments of TD.

We describe an aerobic intramolecular dearomative coupling reaction of tethered phenols using a catalytic system consisting of a chromium-salen (Cr-salen) complex combined with a nitroxyl radical. This novel catalytic system enables formation of various spirocyclic dienone products including those unable to be accessed by previously reported methods efficiently under mild reaction conditions.

The dihydropyranoindole structures were previously identified as promising scaffolds for improving the anti-cancer activity of histone deacetylase inhibitors. This work describes the synthesis of related furoindoles and their ability to synergize with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) against neuroblastoma and breast cancer cells. The nucleophilic substitution of hydroxyin-dole methyl esters with α-haloketones yielded the corresponding arylether ketones, which were subsequently cyclized to tricyclic and tetracyclic furoindoles. The furoindoles showed promising individual cytotoxic efficiency against breast cancer cells, as well as decent SAHA enhancement against cancer cells in select cases. Interestingly, the best IC50 value was obtained with the non-cyclized intermediate.

A bottom-up synthesis of lamellarins G, J, L, and Z was achieved via one-pot halogen dance/Negishi coupling of a lithiated dibromopyrrole derivative. The easily accessible dibromopyrrole bearing an ester moiety underwent halogen dance smoothly at -78 °C within 10 min. The resultant α-pyrrolyllithium was transmetalated to the corresponding organozinc species, which was then coupled with an aryl iodide in the presence of catalytic palladium to provide the fully substituted pyrrole. Subsequent halogen-lithium exchange was performed to incorporate a boronate group exclusively at the β position proximal to the ester moiety. This synthetic intermediate allowed stepwise diarylation for the total synthesis of lamellarins G, J, L, and Z.

A mild and efficient method for the vanadium-catalyzed intramolecular coupling of tethered free phenols is described. The corresponding phenol-dienone products are prepared directly in good yields with low catalyst loadings. Electronically diverse tethered phenol precursors are well tolerated, and the catalytic method was effectively applied as the key step in syntheses of three natural products and a synthetically useful morphinan alkaloid precursor.
