A synthesis of gombamide A (1) using N-terminal peptide extension, oxidative disulfide bond formation, and late-stage 4-hydroxystyrylamide installation has been achieved. This divergent method was also utilized to synthesize several gombamide A derivatives with modification to the 4-hydroxystyrylamide via cyclic peptide 2. The natural product and four derivatives were found to be devoid of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity at 10 μM. In addition, the compounds were not cytotoxic at 10 μM against a panel of cancer cells.

Covering: January 2013 to September 2018Sulfur-containing natural products are a large class of significant functional molecules. Many of these compounds exhibit potent biological activities and pharmacological properties; in fact, some of them have been developed into important drugs. The total synthesis of sulfur-containing natural products is a subject that has long attracted significant attention from synthetic organic chemists; to achieve this goal, various methods have been developed over the past years.

The first total synthesis of Gombamide A (1), a cytotoxic cyclic thiopeptide from the sponge Clathria gombawuiensis, has been achieved. Highlights of the convergent synthesis feature a disulfide bond forming cascade to close the 17-membered macrocycle and a selenoazidylation procedure to access the unusual para-hydroxystyrlyamide (pHSA) moiety. The synthesis required 18 steps, 11 steps in its longest linear sequence, and proceeded in 9.
