Misregulation of protein translation plays a critical role in human cancer pathogenesis at many levels. Silvestrol, a cyclopenta[b]benzofuran natural product, blocks translation at the initiation step by interfering with assembly of the eIF4F translation complex. Silvestrol has a complex chemical structure whose functional group requirements have not been systematically investigated. Moreover, silvestrol has limited development potential due to poor druglike properties. Herein, we sought to develop a practical synthesis of key intermediates of silvestrol and explore structure-activity relationships around the C6 position. The ability of silvestrol and analogues to selectively inhibit the translation of proteins with high requirement on the translation-initiation machinery (i.e., complex 5′-untranslated region UTR) relative to simple 5′UTR was determined by a cellular reporter assay. Simplified analogues of silvestrol such as compounds 74 and 76 were shown to have similar cytotoxic potency and better ADME characteristics relative to those of silvestrol.

Total synthesis of the anticancer 1,4-dioxane containing natural products silvestrol (1) and episilvestrol (2) is described by an approach basedon the proposed biosynthesis of these novel compounds. The key steps in cluded an oxidative rearrangement of the protected D-glucose derivative 11 to afford the 1,4-dioxane 12, which could be elaborated to the coupling partner 5 and a photochemical [3 + 2] cycloadditon between the 3-hydroxyflavone 27 and methyl cinnamate followed by base-induced α-ketol rearrangement and reduction to give the cyclopentabenzofuran core 33. The core (-)-6 and 1,4-dioxane fragment 5 were united by a highly stereoselective Mitsunobu coupling with the modified azodicarboxylate DMEAD toafford the axial coupled product 36. Deprotection then gave episilvestr ol (2). Silvestrol (1) was synthesized by a coupling between core (-)-6 and the dioxane 44 followed by deprotection. Compound 1 was also synthesized from episilvestrol (2) by a Mitsunobu inversion. In addition, the analogue 4-desmethoxyepisilvestrol (46) was synthesized via the same route. It was found that 46 and episilvestrol 2 displayed an unexpected concentration-dependent chemical shift variation for the nonexchangeable dioxane protons. Synthetic compounds 1, 2, 38, 46, and 54 were tested against cancer cells lines, and it was found that the stereochemistry of the core was critical for activity. Synthetic analogue 4-desmethoxyepisilvestrol (46) was also active against lung and colon cancer cell lines.

Sugar and spice... The total synthesis of the rare but potent anticancer natural product (-)-episilvestrol and its 5? epimer (-)-silvestrol was accompushed from D-glucose, naringenin, and methyl cinnamate (see scheme). The key steps of the sequence were inspired by the possible biogenesis of these compounds.

The present invention relates to synthetic processes for the preparation of compounds bearing a dioxanyl moiety, in particular to compounds bearing a dioxanyl side chain attached to a mono- or polycyclic core moiety, more particularly a cyclopentabenzofuran core moiety. The invention also relates to intermediate compounds used in these processes. Compounds which can be prepared by the process of the invention can be used as candidates for screening for potential therapeutic activity, thus the invention also relates to compounds obtainable or prepared by the methods described above, in particular to those having cytotoxic or cytostatic activity.
