Podophyllotoxin is probably the most prominent representative of lignan natural products. Deoxy-, epi-, and podophyllotoxin, which are all precursors to frequently used chemotherapeutic agents, were prepared by a stereodivergent biotransformation and a biocatalytic kinetic resolution of the corresponding dibenzylbutyrolactones with the same 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase. The reaction can be conducted on 2 g scale, and the enzyme allows tailoring of the initial, “natural” structure and thus transforms various non-natural derivatives. Depending on the substitution pattern, the enzyme performs an oxidative C?C bond formation by C?H activation or hydroxylation at the benzylic position prone to ring closure.

(?)-Podophyllotoxin is one of the most potent microtubule depolymerizing agents and has served as an important lead compound in antineoplastic drug discovery. Reported here is a short chemoenzymatic total synthesis of (?)-podophyllotoxin and related aryltetralin lignans. Vital to this approach is the use of an enzymatic oxidative C?C coupling reaction to construct the tetracyclic core of the natural product in a diastereoselective fashion. This strategy allows gram-scale access to (?)-deoxypodophyllotoxin and is readily adaptable to the preparation of related aryltetralin lignans.

The asymmetric allylation under the assistance of catalytic amounts of 3,3′-bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diyl hydrogen phosphate (TRIP) allows the concise construction of the lignan scaffold from simple aldehydes and allylic bromides with full control of the two formed stereocenters. This young methodology has been employed to synthesize four naturally and pharmaceutically active lignans. Members of the dibenzylbutyrolactone, the tetraline, and the dibenzocyclooctadiene classes have been synthesized in 40-47% overall yield along four-step synthetic routes.

We disclose a (terpy)NiBr2-catalyzed reaction protocol that regioselectively difunctionalizes unactivated olefins with tethered alkyl halides and arylzinc reagents. The reaction shows an excellent functional group tolerance (such as ketones, es

Traditional medicines provide a fertile ground to explore potent lead compounds, yet their transformation into modern drugs is fraught with challenges in deciphering the target that is mechanistically valid for its biological activity. Herein we reveal that (Z)-(+)-isochaihulactone (1) exhibited significant inhibition against multiple-drug-resistant (MDR) cancer cell lines and mice xenografts. NMR spectroscopy showed that 1 resisted an off-target thiolate, thus indicating that 1 was a target covalent inhibitor (TCI). By identifying the pharmacophore of 1 (α,β-unsaturated moiety), a probe derived from 1 was designed and synthesized for TCI-oriented activity-based proteome profiling. By MS/MS and computer-guided molecular biology approaches, an affinity-driven Michael addition of the noncatalytic C247 residue of GAPDH was found to control the “ON/OFF” switch of apoptosis through non-canonically nuclear GAPDH translocation, which bypasses the common apoptosis-resistant route of MDR cancers.
Catalytic Hydrogenolysis of Enantioenriched Donor–Acceptor Cyclopropanes Using H2 and Palladium on Charcoal

The hydrogenolysis of enantioenriched donor–acceptor (D–A) cyclopropanes using H2 (1 atm) and a catalytic amount of palladium on charcoal gave trans-α-alkoxycarbonyl-β-benzyl-γ-lactones or β-substituted γ-aryl-α,α-diesters with high enantiomeric excess. The reaction was also used as a key step in the asymmetric total synthesis of yatein with high ee and excellent dr. This demonstrates the utility of this new protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of trans-α,β-disubstituted γ-butyrolactones. D–A cyclopropanes containing electron-withdrawing groups at the β-position were not susceptible to hydrogenolysis under these conditions. The reductive ring-opening of a D–A cyclopropane using D2 instead of H2 generated the corresponding monodeuterated product.
Diastereoselective synthesis of β-piperonyl-γ-butyrolactones from Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts. highly efficient synthesis of (±)-yatein, (±)-podorhizol and (±)-epi-podorhizol

Starting from a Morita-Baylis-Hillman adduct we describe a simple and very efficient method for the diastereoselective preparation of hydroxylated β-piperonyl-γ-butyrolactones. To exemplify the efficiency of this approach we also describe a highly efficie
A general approach to the asymmetric synthesis of lignans: (-)-methyl piperitol, (-)-sesamin, (-)-aschantin, (+)-yatein, (+)-dihydroclusin, (+)-burseran, and (-)-isostegane

A highly efficient, diastereo- and enantioselective route was developed to access a great variety of lignans. The asymmetric synthesis of the 2,3-disubstituted γ-butyrolactones 9a-c could be improved in the case of aldol reactions by employing 2.2 equivalents of LiCl as an additive to provide, after purification, highly diastereo- and enantioenriched starting materials for the synthesis of the furofuran lignans (-)-methyl piperitol, (-)-sesamin, and (-)-aschantin. Furthermore, the γ-butyrolactone 15 was converted into dibenzylbutyrolactone lignan (+)-yatein, the dibenzylbutandiol type (+)-dihydroclusin, the tetrahydrofuran type (+)-burseran, and the dibenzocyclooctadiene type (-)-isostegane.

Chiral synthesis of lignan lactones, (-)-hinokinin, (-)-deoxypodorhizone, (-)-isohibalactone and (-)-savinin, has been achieved by employing an enantioselective deprotonation of 3-(3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl)cyclobutanone with lithium (S,S')-α,α'-dimethylbenzylamide, as a key step.
