Published: December 2007

A regio- and stereocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-allosamizoline is described. The key steps for this synthesis are ring-closing metathesis to form the cyclopentene core, halocyclization to afford the oxazoline ring, and finally stereoselective alkene radical addition followed by an alkene isomerization reaction to install the hydroxymethyl group. (-)-Allosamizoline was prepared in a total of 13 steps and 22% overall yield.

A new compound 2, possessing a tetra-N-acetyl-chitotetraosyl moiety as a constituent, was synthesized by bacterial fermentation, which used allosamizoline 1 as the initial acceptor. A 2-binding chitinase assay, indicated that the chitinase was inactivated by 2 with IC50 = 0.03 microg/mL.

Based on NMR spectroscopic information about the allosamidin-hevamine complex, ab initio MO calculations of the ring current effect of the aromatic moieties of Trp255, Tyr183 and Tyr6 of hevamine were carried out to investigate the role of these amino acid residues in binding interactions with allosamidin in solution. In addition, the intermolecular steric compression effect on the 13C chemical shifts of the allosamizoline carbon atoms and the hydrogen bonding to Glu127 was identified. It can be inferred that the binding forces are strongest in the allosamizoline moiety of allosamidin.
