Pachycarpine (4), the optical antipode of the lupine alkaloid (-)-sparteine (1), has been prepared from (-)-lupanine; its metabolism was studied in rats. After isolation and chromatographic purification, streochemically homogeneous (+)-(4S)-hydroxysparteine (7) was identified as the major urinary metabolite by use of mass spectrometry and high-field NMR-spectroscopy.

Palladium-Catalyzed Stereospecific Glycosylation Enables Divergent Synthesis of N-O-Linked Glycosides.
Org Lett

We present a versatile palladium-catalyzed glycosylation platform that enables facile access to structurally diverse N-O-linked glycosides with constantly excellent regio- and stereoselectivities. Importantly, this approach offers a broad substrate scope, low catalyst loadings, and outstanding chemoselectivity, allowing for the selective reaction of oximes/hydroximic acids over hydroxyl groups that would otherwise pose challenges in conventional glycosylation methods. The synthetic utility of this method is further exemplified through a range of synthetic transformations and late-stage modification of bioactive molecules.

CYP105A1 exhibits monooxygenase activity to a wide variety of structurally different substrates with regio- and stereospecificity, making its application range broad. Our previous studies have shown that CYP105A1 wild type and its variants metabolize 12 types of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In particular, the R84A variant exhibited a high activity against many NSAIDs.

A three-gene cluster from was proven to be responsible for the formation of -l-Trp-l-Leu (cWL) derivatives. An strain harboring the cyclodipeptide synthase (CDPS) gene produced cWL. Expression of the whole cluster or genes of various combinations in revealed different metabolites of cWL by two cytochrome P450 enzymes.

Stereoselective alkene 1,2-difunctionalization is a privileged strategy to access three-dimensional C(sp)-rich chiral molecules from readily available "flat" carbon feedstocks. State-of-the-art approaches exploit chiral transition metal-catalysts to enable high levels of regio- and stereocontrol. However, this is often achieved at the expense of a limited alkene scope and reduced generality.
