Histamine H(1) and serotonin 5-HT(2A) receptors mediate two different mechanisms involved in sleep regulation: H(1) antagonists are sleep inducers, while 5-HT(2A) antagonists are sleep maintainers. Starting from 9'a, a novel spirotetracyclic compound endowed with good H(1)/5-HT(2A) potency but poor selectivity, very high Cli, and a poor P450 profile, a specific optimization strategy was set up. In particular, we investigated the possibility of introducing appropriate amino acid moieties to optimize the developability profile of the series. Following this zwitterionic approach, we were able to identify several advanced leads (51, 65, and 73) with potent dual H(1)/5-HT(2A) activity and appropriate developability profiles. These compounds exhibited efficacy as hypnotic agents in a rat telemetric sleep model with minimal effective doses in the range 3-10 mg/kg po.

Leading by the antiviral activities against HSV-2 virus, bioactivity-guided the fraction of crude alkaloids from seeds of Peganum harmala led to the isolation of nine structurally novel indole alkaloids, pegaharolines A - I (1-9), and 11 known ones (10-20). Compound 3 was an unusual 6/5/5/5 spirotetracyclic indole-derived alkaloids featuring a classic bicyclic indole unit fused with an additional pyrrolizine ring via a spiral atom (C-3). Compound 4 was determined as a novel indole alkaloid, characterized with a rare hexacyclic 6/5/6/5-6/6 ring system, by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The diterpene synthase AlTS was identified from Aspergillus luchuensis. AlTS catalyses the formation of the diterpene hydrocarbon spiroluchuene A, which exhibits a novel skeleton characterised by a spirocyclic ring system. The cyclisation mechanism towards this compound was elucidated through isotopic labelling experiments in conjunction with DFT calculations and metadynamic simulations.

A novel spiro-tetracyclic diterpene, spirograterpene A (1), was isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Penicillium granulatum MCCC 3A00475, together with two biosynthetically related cyclopianes, conidiogenone I (2) and conidiogenone C (3). The relative configuration of 1 was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute structure was established by the modified Mosher's method. Compound 1 is the second example of a diterpene featuring a 5/5/5/5 spirocyclic carbon skeleton.

Lewis acid (FeCl3) mediated dual bond (C-C and C-O) formation for synthesis of 3,4-dihydrocoumarins is presented. This method has successfully delivered a number of dihydrocoumarins containing dense functionalities on the aromatic ring. Significantly, the present method enabled achieving dihydrocoumarins with tertiary as well as quaternary carbon atoms at the benzylic position.
