Synthetic Studies on the Ambiguine Family of Alkaloids: Construction of the ABCD Ring System.

Tetrahedron Lett

Department of Chemistry, Colorado State University, 1301 Center Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA.

Published: April 2011

A racemic synthesis of the ABCD ring core of the ambiguines that preserves the tertiary alcohol has been accomplished in convergent synthesis in 10 synthetic steps, in an overall yield of 46% from commercially available 4-bromoindole and m-methylanisole.

Purpose: The management of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) at reference centers with specialized multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTB) improves patient survival. The German Cancer Society (DKG) certifies sarcoma centers in German-speaking countries, promoting high standards of care. This study investigated the variability in treatment recommendations for localized STS across different German-speaking tertiary sarcoma centers.

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan.

Euphorbialoid A () belongs to the rare diterpenoid family of premyrsinanes and exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects. The 5/7/6/3-membered carbocycle (ABCD-ring) of contains 11 contiguous stereocenters and seven oxygen-containing functional groups. Moreover, four of the six hydroxy groups of are concentrated in the southern sector and flanked by four structurally different acyl groups.

Article Synopsis
  • - Retigerane-type sesterterpenoids are complex molecules with a distinctive pentacyclic structure that are formed through specific chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes called terpene cyclases.
  • - The exact pathways for their biosynthesis involve intricate processes where the arrangement of rings plays a crucial role, with two main reaction routes being proposed.
  • - Using advanced computational methods, researchers determined that the preferred pathway (Route 2) includes a specific sequence of cyclizations critical for achieving the correct molecular shape and stereochemistry essential for these compounds.

The WHO currently recommends dolutegravir (DTG)-based ART for persons living with HIV infection in resource-limited-settings (RLS). To expand access to testing for HIV drug resistance (DR) to DTG in RLS, we developed probes for use in the oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA)-Simple, a near-point of care HIV DR kit. Genotypic data from clinical trials and case reports were used to determine the mutations in HIV-1 integrase critical to identifying individuals with DTG-resistance at virologic failure of DTG-based ART.

Electronic address:

UPLC-Q-TOF-MS combined with mass defect filtering strategies were applied for the phytochemical investigation of Harrisonia perforata, leading to the isolation of thirteen undescribed limonoids named haperforatones A-M (1-13) and seventeen known compounds (14-30). Particularly, haperforatones D-E (4-5) have an unprecedented A, B, C, D-seco-6, 7-nor-C-24-limonoid skeleton, structurally stripped of the five-membered lactone ring B and formed a double bond at the C-5 and C-10 positions. Their 2D structures and relative configurations were identified using spectroscopic data.
