Objectives: This work describes the synthesis, the bioactivity and the structure-activity relationship of new derivatives from a natural coumarin.

Methods: (-)-Deltoin 1 and the corresponding isoxazolines and aziridines were characterized by spectroscopic means. The cytotoxic (HTC-116, IGROV-1 and OVCAR-3 cancer cell lines) and 5-lipoxygenase activity of (-)-deltoin 1 and its structural analogues have been evaluated.

Key Findings: The phytochemical investigation of the ethyl acetate extract of the flowers of Ferula lutea (Poir.) Maire has led to the isolation of (-)-deltoin 1. A series of new isoxazoline 2a,a'-2f,f' and aziridine 3a,a'-3e,e' derivatives have been prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. It has been found that the derivatives 2a (IC = 3.3 ± 0.1 μm), 3a,a' (IC = 5.9 ± 0.1 μm), 3b,b' (IC = 6.1 ± 0.7 μm) and 3c,c' (IC = 7.3 ± 0.9 μm) bearing a phenyl isoxazoline, a phenylaziridine, a 4-methlphenylaziridine and a 4-methoxyphenylaziridine, respectively, are more cytotoxic than (-)-deltoin 1 (IC = 14.3 ± 0.2 μm). The diastereoisomers in mixture (2f,f') with a 6-chloropyridin-2-yl system have shown the best anti-5-lipoxygenase activity (% inhibition = 53.1 ± 4.8% at 200 μm).

Conclusions: Some analogues have been found more bioactive than deltoin 1. Their activity has been related to the nature of the added heterocycles. It would be interesting to evaluate their in-vivo activity.

An in situ generated photoactive copper(I)-complex-catalyzed aziridination reaction of cyclic N-sulfonyl imines with α-aryl-substituted vinyl azides irradiated by blue-LEDs light is reported for the first time. This novel SET process represents a mild, sustainable, and pragmatic method for accessing synthetically resourceful sulfamidate-fused aziridines in acceptable chemical yields with excellent diastereoselectivities. Delightedly, pharmacologically attractive benzo[f][1,2,3]oxathiazepine dioxides and fused isoxazoline frameworks were achieved through our newly developed metal-free based ring-expansion techniques, highlighting the synthetic value of accessed aziridines.

Enantioselective dearomative cycloadditions of 4-nitroisoxazoles with vinylethylene carbonate () proceeded in the presence of Pd(dba) and ()-DTBM-SEGPHOS to give the corresponding bicyclic isoxazolines and in good to high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (≤99% ee). This synthetic approach could be applied to -tosyl vinyl aziridine and 2-methylidenetrimethylene carbonate. Further transformations of the resulting cycloadducts and yielded not only its derivatives and but also the novel tetracyclic skeleton .

Highly functionalized aziridines, including compounds with aromatic moieties, are attractive substrates both in synthetic and medical areas of chemistry. There is a broad and interesting set of synthetic methods for reaching these compounds. Aziridination represents the most explored tool, but there are several other more specific, less well-known, but highly promising approaches.

Rare C-7-substituted aziridinyl iminosugars can be synthesized through a short reaction sequence involving 1,3-cycloaddition of cyclic nitrones with alkynes and a Baldwin rearrangement of isoxazolines into bicyclic 2-acylaziridines. The method is efficient and completely diastereoselective, producing stable aziridinyl iminosugars in high yields.
