We describe stereocontrolled semi-syntheses of deguelin and tephrosin, anti-cancer rotenoids isolated from Tephrosia vogelii. Firstly, we present a new two-step transformation of rotenone into rot-2'-enonic acid via a zinc-mediated ring opening of rotenone hydrobromide. Secondly, following conversion of rot-2'-enonic acid into deguelin, a chromium-mediated hydroxylation provides tephrosin as a single diastereoisomer. An Étard-like reaction mechanism is proposed to account for the stereochemical outcome. Our syntheses of deguelin and tephrosin are operationally simple, scalable and high yielding, offering considerable advantages over previous methods.

Regardless of the clinical impact of human adenovirus (HAdV) infections in the healthy population and its high morbidity in immunosuppressed patients, a specific treatment is still not yet available. In this study, we screened the CM1407 COST Action's chemical library, comprising 1,233 natural products to identify compounds that restrict HAdV infection. Among them, we identified rotenolone, a compound that significantly inhibited HAdV infection.

The piscicide CFT Legumine is applied to freshwater systems around the world to control invasive fish species. Rotenone, a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial cellular respiration, is the active ingredient of the piscicide; however, other rotenoids of unknown persistence and toxicity account for an equivalent amount by weight. This work identified six distinct rotenoids in CFT Legumine using liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution orbitrap mass spectrometry and optimized a rapid surface water sampling procedure for their analysis.

Synthetic insecticides are effective in controlling insect pests but can also harm nontarget organisms and the environment. During the last 40 years, there has been an increasing interest in alternative insecticides, particularly those derived from plants, commonly known as botanical insecticides. However, commercially available botanical insecticides remain limited.

This study focused on identifying the rotenoids from the Tephrosia vogelli plant (fish-poison-bean), investigating the toxic potency of a crude T. vogelii extract and individual rotenoids (tephrosin, deguelin and rotenone) in vitro and in vivo and assessing the mode of action. A trout (Onychorynhis mykiss) gill epithelial cell line (RTgill-W1) was used to determine the cytotoxicity of rotenoids and effects on cell metabolism.
