A concise high yielding synthesis of lamellarin G trimethyl ether has been achieved from precursors and solvents that can in principle be derived from xylochemical (woody biomass) sources. The route is comparatively green in that some reactions are performed without solvent or with relatively benign solvents. In addition, chromatographic purification of products is avoided, and only a single aqueous workup is performed. The novelty of the synthesis lies in the intermediacy of an enaminone for the construction of the central pyrrole ring. The overall yield of the product is among the highest reported to date.

Lamellarins are natural products with a [3,4]-fused pyrrolocoumarin skeleton possessing interesting biological properties. More than 70 members have been isolated from diverse marine organisms, such as sponges, ascidians, mollusks, and tunicates. There is a continuous interest in the synthesis of these compounds.

Rhodium-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of diazoenals and -alkyl imines resulted in -alkyl-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde derivatives. The reaction involves thermal 6π-electrocyclization and aromatization of a new class of enal-azomethine ylides (EAYs). The EAYs derived from dihydroisoquinoline and 2-azirine gave fused-pyrrole and pyridine derivatives, respectively.

Analogs of pyrrole alkaloid lamellarins exhibit anticancer activity by modulating multiple cellular events. Lethal doses of several lamellarins were found to enhance autophagy flux in HeLa cells, suggesting that lamellarins may modulate protein homeostasis through the interference of proteins or kinases controlling energy and nutrient metabolism. To further delineate molecular mechanisms and their targets, our results herein show that azalamellarin D (AzaD) cytotoxicity could cause translational attenuation, as indicated by a change in eIF2α phosphorylation.

A novel series of benzo[6,7]indolo[3,4-c]isoquinolines 3a-3f was designed by scaffold hopping of topoisomerase I inhibitor benzo[g][1]benzopyrano[4,3-b]indol-6(13H)-ones (BBPIs), which were developed by structural modification of the natural marine product lamellarin. The unconventional pentacycle was constructed by Bischler-Napieralski-type condensation of amide 11 and subsequent intramolecular Heck reaction. In vitro anticancer activity of the synthesized benzo[6,7]indolo[3,4-c]isoquinolines was evaluated on a panel of 39 human cancer cell lines (JFCR39).
