The first synthesis of ganodermanontriol, a bioactive lanostane triterpene from the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum, has been achieved in 15.3% yield over nine steps, along with its three stereoisomeric triols and ganoderol A. The key steps leading to this family of isomers involve the reconstruction of the trisubstituted alkene by stereoselective and chemoselective phosphonate reactions and the formation of the unusual Δ7,9(11)-diene core by the mild acidic opening of a lanosterone-derived epoxide. Ganodermanontriol showed promising activity on the inhibition and proliferation of breast cancer cells. The effect of ganodermanontriol and its isomers on cell proliferation was assayed; IC50 values of 5.8 and 9.7 μM on breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, respectively, were found for ganodermanontriol.

Sphingoid bases are important bioactive lipids found in a variety of organisms, serving as the backbone of sphingolipids, which regulate essential physiological processes. Here we describe the total synthesis and structure revision of halisphingosine A, a sphingoid base initially isolated from marine sponges. To address inconsistencies in the NMR interpretation of this natural product, we developed a synthetic route involving a late-stage enantioselective Henry reaction that allows access to multiple stereoisomers of the proposed halisphingosine A core structure.

Herein, the first total synthesis of natural 13-hydroxy-14-deoxyoxacyclododecindione along with the revision of the proposed configuration is reported. This natural product, initially discovered in 2018, belongs to the oxacyclododecindione family, renowned for their remarkable anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic activities. The synthetic route involves an esterification/Friedel-Crafts-acylation approach and uses various triol fragments.

The first total synthesis of the natural product (13,14,15)-13-hydroxy-14-deoxyoxacyclododecindione, which was isolated in 2018 as a member of the oxacyclododecindione family, is reported. A synthetic strategy through intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation combined with the stereoselective synthesis of a new triol key fragment allowed the preparation of the macrolactone. Due to mismatching physical data of the synthetic product, a revision of the configuration of the natural product isolated in 2018 is required.

This study investigated the chemical components from the florets of Carthamus tinctorius. Five compounds were isolated from C. tinctorius by column chromatography with silica gel and toyopearl HW-40 F, preparative thin-layer chromatography(TLC), and semi-preparative reverse phased high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC).

Eight possible diastereomers of the 3-amino-5,6,7-trihydroxy octadecanoic acid (ATHOD) moiety of the burkholdines (Bks) have been synthesized and their configurations assigned. Though the relative configuration of the triol in the ATHOD residue of the Bks was proposed to be - in the literature, H NMR spectra of our synthesized ATHOD derivative was inconsistent with that of the isolated ATHOD residue, suggesting that the assignment of the relative configuration of that residue in the literature was incorrect. However, by comparison of the NMR data of our ATHOD derivatives with that of configurationally defined samples of 2-amino-4-pentanol using Kishi's NMR database method, we conclude that the absolute configuration of the ATHOD moiety is (3,5,6,7).
