The asymmetric total syntheses of daumone , daumone along with 5 new analogs are described. The key steps of our approach are: the diastereoselective palladium catalyzed glycosylation reaction; the Noyori reduction of 2-acetylfuran and an ynone, which introduce the absolute stereochemistry of the sugar and aglycon portion of daumone; and an Achmatowicz rearrangement, an epoxidation and a ring opening installing the remaining asymmetry of daumone. The synthetic daumones and as well as related analogs were evaluated for dauer activity in and for effects on hatching of the related nematode . This data provides additional structure activity relationships (SAR) that further inform the study of nematode signaling.

Background/aims: Bone metastasis of cancer cells decreases patient survival and quality of life. Hybridization via the covalent coupling of two bioactive natural products is a useful strategy for developing more potent anticancer agents by enhancing their bioavailability and avoiding drug resistance.

Methods: The in vivo activities of artemisinin-daumone hybrid 15 (ARTD) were estimated in cancer cell-inoculated mice and ovariectomized mice.

Previously we reported that CFL-1, the single LRR-type F-box protein in the genome, affected defecation behavior and daumone response. CFL-1 is highly homologous to the FBXL20 in mammals, which regulates synaptic vesicle release by targeting its substrate Rim1 for ubiquitin-mediated degradation. The worm homolog of Rim1 is UNC-10, a presynaptic membrane protein that triggers synaptic vesicle fusion through interaction with RAB-3 GTPase.

Background: Enoyl-CoA hydratase (MAOC) is required for the biosynthesis of the fatty acid-derive side chains of the ascaroside via peroxisome β-oxidation in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The derivative of dideoxy-sugar, ascarylose is used as dauer pheromones or daumones to induce development of the stress-resistant dauer larvae stage.

Methods: Hc-maoc-1 gene was obtained by searching the Wellcome Trusts Sanger Institute's H.
