Synthesis of enone core based dendrimers with carbazole as surface group has been achieved. All the synthesized dendrimers showed excellent antioxidant behavior with commercially available 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH).

Here, we report the enantioselective total syntheses of four diepoxy--kaurane diterpenoids including (-)-Macrocalin B, (-)-Acetyl-macrocalin B, and (-)-Isoadenolin A and the revised structure of (-)-Phyllostacin I, which hinges on the strategic design of a regioselective and stereospecific trapping of a highly reactive [3.2.1]-bridgehead enone intermediate via a tethered intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.

The first total synthesis of the pentacyclic phenylnaphthacenoid type II polyketide antibiotic formicamycin H is described. A key feature of the synthesis involves the convergent, regioselective assembly of the tetracyclic core via ruthenium-catalyzed α-ketol-benzocyclobutenone [4 + 2] cycloaddition. Double dehydration of the diol-containing cycloadduct provides an achiral enone, which upon asymmetric nucleophilic epoxidation and further manipulations delivers the penultimate tetracyclic trichloride in enantiomerically enriched form.

Withanolides represent an important category of natural products with a steroidal lactone core. Many of them contain an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety with a high reactivity toward sulfhydryl groups, including protein cysteine thiols. Different withanolides endowed with marked antitumor and anti-inflammatory have been shown to form stable covalent complexes with exposed cysteines present in the active site of oncogenic kinases (BTK, IKKβ, Zap70), metabolism enzymes (Prdx-1/6, Pin1, PHGDH), transcription factors (Nrf2, NFκB, C/EBPβ) and other structural and signaling molecules (GFAP, β-tubulin, p97, Hsp90, vimentin, M, IPO5, NEMO, …).

Iridoids, which are a class of monoterpenoids, are attractive synthetic targets due to their diversely substituted cis-fused cyclopenta[c]pyran skeletons. Additionally, various biological activities of iridoids raise the value of synthetic studies on this class of compounds. Here, our synthetic efforts toward 11-noriridoids; (±)-umbellatolide B (6), (±)-10-O-benzoylglobularigenin (9) and 1-O-pentenylaucubigenin (34) are described.

In this study, the chemical composition and pharmacological activity of Croton lauioides were investigated for the first time. The bioactive and HPLC-UV guided isolation led to the discovery of twenty-three conjugated enone-type components (1-23), including nine previously unknown sesquiterpenoid derivatives (1-4, 9-10, 12-14). Notably, compounds 1 and 12 are epoxides containing an endoperoxide bridge (1) or a unique dioxaspiro core (12), respectively.
