The present work demonstrates the ability of carboxylic acid tethered cyclopropanated oxabenzonorbornadienes (CPOBDs) to undergo ring-opening reactions in mild acidic conditions. The optimized reaction conditions involve the use of pTsOH in DCE at 90 °C. Two regioisomers are formed but the reactions are highly regioselective towards type 3 ring-opened products. It was observed that substitution at the C5 and aryl positions of CPOBD significantly hinders the ring-opening reactions leading to decreased yields of ring-opened products, although high regioselectivity for the Type 3 ring-opened products is still maintained. Herein, the first examples of acid-catalyzed intramolecular ring-opening reactions of CPOBD with carboxylic acid nucleophiles are reported.

2-Azabicyclo[m.n.0]alkane ring systems, the conceptual precursors towards the synthesis of Strychnos and Stemona classes of alkaloids, were synthesized from tert-butyl 2-(phenylsulfonyl)-7-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-7-carboxylate by alkyl Grignard reaction and intramolecular cyclisation of the in situ generated ring opening product 2. The synthesized cis-hexahydroindole 3 and cis-octahydro-benzo[b]azepine 5 scaffolds were utilized to construct the advanced intermediates 25 and 35, respectively, towards the synthesis of the corresponding Strychnos and Stemona classes of alkaloids.

BACE1 inhibitory conjugates derived from two natural products, luteolin (1) and p-hydroxy-cinnamic acid (2), were subjected to systematic structure modifications, including various positions in luteolin segment for conjugation, different linkers (length, bond variation), as well as various substitutions in cinnamic acid segment (various substituents on benzene, and replacement of benzene by heteroaromatics and cycloalkane). Optimal conjugates such as 7c and 7k were chosen on the basis of a series of bioassay data for further investigation.

Purpose: We have previously reported that some cationic fullerene derivatives exhibited anticancer activity, and they are expected to be a potential lead compound for an anti-drug resistant cancer agent. However, they are bis-adducts and a mixture of multiple regioisomers, which cannot be readily separated due to the variability of substituent positions on the fullerene cage. To overcome this issue, we evaluated the antiproliferative activities of a set of mono-adduct derivatives and examined their structure-activity relationship. In addition, the in vivo antitumor activity of selected derivatives was also examined. Methods: Nineteen pyridinium fullerene derivatives were newly designed and synthesized in this study. Their antiproliferative activities were evaluated using several cancer cell lines including drug-resistant cells. Furthermore, in vivo antitumor activity of several derivatives was investigated in mouse xenograft model of human lung cancer. Results: The derivatives inhibited the proliferation of cancer cell lines, including cisplatin-resistant cells and doxorubicin-resistant cells. It was also shown that compound 10 (10 μM), 13 (10 μM) and cis-14 (10 μM) induced the intracellular oxidative stress. In addition, compound 13 (20 mg/kg) and cis-14 (15 mg/kg) significantly exhibited antitumor activity in mouse xenograft model of human lung cancer. Conclusion: We synthesized a novel set of mono-adduct fullerene derivatives functionalized with pyridinium groups and found that most of them show potent antiproliferative activities against cancer cell lines and some of them show significant antitumor activities in vivo. We propose that these fullerene derivatives serve as the lead compounds for a novel type of antitumor agents.

Fungal glycolipids emmyguyacins A and B inhibit the pH-dependent conformational change of hemaglutinin A during replication of the Influenza virus. Herein, we report the first total synthesis and structure confirmation of emmyguyacins A and B. Our efficient route, which involves regioselective functionalization of trehalose, allows rapid access to adequate amounts of chemically pure emmyguyacin analogues including the desoxylate derivatives for SAR studies.

An efficient approach towards the first racemic total synthesis of dactyloidin (2) and demethyldactyloidin (3) is described. Their oxygen-bridged tricyclic ketal systems were rapidly constructed by using a remarkable biomimetic Knoevenagel condensation/[4 + 2] cycloaddition cascade as the critical strategy and the 1,5-dicarbonyl segment was assembled by Grignard addition.

The dehydrative cyclization of diols to cyclic ethers via cyclopropenium activation is described. Using 2,3-diphenylcyclopropene and methanesulfonic anhydride, a series of 1,4-and 1,5-diols are rapidly cyclized to furnish tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans in high yield. Eleven total substrates are shown, including a gram scale cyclization of a diterpene derivative.

Acetylenic fatty acids are known to display several biological activities, but their antimalarial activity has remained unexplored. In this study, we synthesized the 2-, 5-, 6-, and 9-hexadecynoic acids (HDAs) and evaluated their in vitro activity against erythrocytic (blood) stages of Plasmodium falciparum and liver stages of Plasmodium yoelii infections. Since the type II fatty acid biosynthesis pathway (PfFAS-II) has recently been shown to be indispensable for liver stage malaria parasites, the inhibitory potential of the HDAs against multiple P. falciparum FAS-II (PfFAS-II) elongation enzymes was also evaluated. The highest antiplasmodial activity against blood stages of P. falciparum was displayed by 5-HDA (IC50 value 6.6 μg/ml), whereas the 2-HDA was the only acid arresting the growth of liver stage P. yoelii infection, in both flow cytometric assay (IC50 value 2-HDA 15.3 μg/ml, control drug atovaquone 2.5 ng/ml) and immunofluorescence analysis (IC50 2-HDA 4.88 μg/ml, control drug atovaquone 0.37 ng/ml). 2-HDA showed the best inhibitory activity against the PfFAS-II enzymes PfFabI and PfFabZ with IC 50 values of 0.38 and 0.58 μg/ml (IC50 control drugs 14 and 30 ng/ml), respectively. Enzyme kinetics and molecular modeling studies revealed valuable insights into the binding mechanism of 2-HDA on the target enzymes. All HDAs showed in vitro activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC50 values 3.7-31.7 μg/ml), Trypanosoma cruzi (only 2-HDA, IC50 20.2 μg/ml), and Leishmania donovani (IC50 values 4.1-13.4 μg/ml) with generally low or no significant toxicity on mammalian cells. This is the first study to indicate therapeutic potential of HDAs against various parasitic protozoa. It also points out that the malarial liver stage growth inhibitory effect of the 2-HDA may be promoted via PfFAS-II enzymes. The lack of cytotoxicity, lipophilic nature, and calculated pharmacokinetic properties suggests that 2-HDA could be a useful compound to study the interaction of fatty acids with these key P. falciparum enzymes.
