The preparation of an advanced intermediate on route towards the synthesis of tedanolide C is reported here. It is based on the coupling of two fragments of similar size and complexity, which in turn are prepared by highly stereoselective substrate-controlled titanium-mediated aldol reactions from chiral ketones.

We are presenting the development of our route for the total synthesis of desepoxy-tedanolide C. Through the obtained analytical data, the proposed structure of tedanolide C is questioned and a different configuration for this natural product is proposed. Key steps of the synthesis are a Kiyooka aldol reaction that builds up the tertiary alcohol flanked by three oxygenated carbon atoms and two aldol reactions used for fragment couplings.

Eukaryotic protein synthesis is the highly conserved, complex mechanism of translating genetic information into proteins. Although this process is essential for cellular homoeostasis, dysregulations are associated with cellular malfunctions and diseases including cancer and diabetes. In the challenging and ongoing search for adequate treatment possibilities, natural products represent excellent research tools and drug leads for new interactions with the translational machinery and for influencing mRNA translation.

The synthesis of desepoxy-tedanolide C was accomplished and provided experimental evidence on the configuration of tedanolide C. The reported chemical shifts and coupling constants point to a configuration different from the published structure and analogous to the structures of the other members of this family of natural products. The key step is a Kiyooka aldol protocol for the stereoselective synthesis of the tertiary alcohol flanked by three additional oxygenated carbon atoms.

The identification of inhibitors of eukaryotic protein biosynthesis, which are targeting single translation factors, is highly demanded. Here we report on a small molecule inhibitor, gephyronic acid, isolated from the myxobacterium Archangium gephyra that inhibits growth of transformed mammalian cell lines in the nM range. In direct comparison, primary human fibroblasts were shown to be less sensitive to toxic effects of gephyronic acid than cancer-derived cells.
