Page/Page column 62; 79-80, (2010/11/25)
A novel synthesis of salinosporamide A is provided. Salinospoamide A as well as structurally related natural products, omuralide and lactacystin, have been shown to be proteasome inhibitors. Therefore, these compounds as well as analogues of these natural products may be useful in the treatment of proliferative diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, diabetic retinopathy, etc. The invention provides for the synthesis of salinosporamide A as well as analogs thereof using a convenient point for derivatization of the bicyclic core. Pharmaceutical compositions and method of using the inventive compounds are also provided.

Total synthesis of potent proteasome inhibitor salinosporamide A (1) has been accomplished, which features strictly substrate-controlled operations starting with the only chiral center of (R)-pyroglutamic acid. The consecutive quaternary carbons within 1 have been efficiently constructed by manipulation of two intramolecular reactions: (1) carbonate-mediated internal acylation of imidate ester (4 → 14) and (2) selenocyclization of aldehyde to exocyclic methylene group (5 → 18).
