A short synthesis of the non-adjacent bis-THF core of the Annonaceous acetogenin cis-sylvaticin (1) is described. C(2) Symmetrical (Z,E,E,Z)- and (E,E,E,E)-tetraenes and were synthesised in six and three steps respectively from (1E,5E,9E)-cyclododeca-1,5,9-triene. Subsequent permanganate promoted asymmetric bi-directional oxidative cyclisation of tetraene was used to create the non-adjacent bis-THF core of 1, installing seven of the nine stereogenic centres present in the natural product in a single step. Desymmetrization of the oxidative cyclisation product by mono-tosylation gave access to a C11-C32 fragment of cis-sylvaticin.

Our search for candidates for photosynthesis inhibitors is allowing us to report the effect of two acetogenins identified in Annona coriacea Mart. leaves, ACG-A and ACG-B, a non-adjacent bis-THF and a mono-THF types, respectively. This is an important class of natural products which presents biological properties such as anticancer, neurotoxic, larvicidal and insecticidal.

For past three decades, numerous studies have elucidated the antiproliferative effects of acetogenins in hopes of developing a new class of clinical anticancer agents. However, clear and definitive action mechanisms of acetogenins were less clarified. In the present study, three tetrahydrofuran (THF)-containing acetogenins were found to have potent and selective antiproliferative activity against human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines and their methotrexate-resistant counterparts.
