Three new benzofuran derivatives, namely ribisin E ribisin F along with ribisin G were isolated from the MeOH extract of the fruiting bodies of Their structures were elucidated based on the NMR analysis. Furthermore, the absolute configuration of ribisin E and ribisin G were deduced by the CD calculations, and the absolute configuration of ribisin F was determined by comparing its CD spectrum and specific rotation with the data of known analogues. All compounds exhibited the activity of promoting neurite outgrowth in nerve growth factor (NGF)-ediated PC 12 cell at concentrations ranging from 1 to 30 μM.

Oxidative stress contributes to the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases and induction of the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway is a validated neuroprotective strategy. Synthetically-derived samples of members of the ribisin class of natural product together with a range of analogues were evaluated for their neuroprotective capacities. Four of the twenty-four compounds tested were found to strongly stimulate antioxidant response element-dependent transcriptional activity in human-derived SH-SY5Y cells.

Article Synopsis
  • - Dihydrodiols from monocyclic aromatic compounds are important for making cyclic natural products, but creating additional rings remains a challenge.
  • - Few chiral natural products have been synthesized from polycyclic arene dihydrodiols, highlighting a gap in research.
  • - Researchers have successfully synthesized fungal metabolites (-)-ribisins A and B through the processing of a tricyclic arene metabolite without needing to create new carbon-carbon bonds, leading to shorter synthetic routes.

Total syntheses of the structures, 1, 2, and 4, assigned to the biologically active natural products ribisins A, B, and D, respectively, have been achieved using the microbially derived and enantiomerically pure cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 5 as starting material. Key steps include Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, intramolecular Mitsunobu, and tandem epoxidation/rearrangement reactions. As a result of these studies, the structures of ribisins A and D have been confirmed while that of congener B was shown to be represented by 31 rather than 2.
