AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on isolating, identifying, and synthesizing two natural compounds that inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway, derived from the iso-tanapartholide family.
  • A crucial step in the synthesis involved an oxidative cleavage reaction that effectively produced the natural products without using protective groups.
  • Biological tests on the synthesized compounds confirmed their action at a late stage of the NF-κB signaling pathway, providing valuable insights into their function.

Article Abstract

The isolation, identification and total synthesis of two plant-derived inhibitors of the NF-κB signaling pathway from the iso--tanapartholide family of natural products is described. A key step in the efficient reaction sequence is a late-stage oxidative cleavage reaction that was carried out in the absence of protecting groups to give the natural products directly. A detailed comparison of the synthetic material with samples of the natural products proved informative. Biological studies on synthetic material confirmed that these compounds act late in the NF-κB signaling pathway. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009).
