Eleven new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), hyperwilsones A-K (1-11), along with five known PPAPs (12-16), were isolated from Hypericum wilsonii. Their structures were established via spectroscopic methods, the careful analysis of calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, the modified Mosher's method, and [Rh(OCOCF)]-induced ECD. Hyperwilsone A (1) and hyperwilsone B (2) possessed the unique acetal functionality. Hyperwilsone C (3) was a rare example of [3.3.1]-type PPAP possessing a 3-isopropylfuran moiety. In bioassay, compounds 9 and 10 showed potent anti-inflammatory activity against LPS-induced NO production by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and thus reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Compounds 5, 8, 11, and 14 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against SUDHL-4 and HL60 cancer cells with IC values in the range of 5.74-19.82 μM.

A bioinspired alkylation dearomatization reaction was developed to construct the 5/6/6 fused-spiro tricyclic core framework and spiro-quaternary carbon chiral center. The usage of this approach for assembling these natural products of spirocyclic polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with an octahydrospiro-[cyclohexan-1,5'-indene] core is demonstrated by the first asymmetric total synthesis of highly oxidized hyperbeanol A.

Polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) are a class of >400 natural products with a broad spectrum of bioactivity, ranging from antidepressant and antimicrobial to anti-obesity and anticancer activity. Here, we present a scalable, regio-, site-, and enantioselective catalytic method for synthesis of cyclic β-prenyl ketones, compounds that can be used for efficient syntheses of many PPAPs in high enantiomeric purity. The transformation is prenyl conjugate addition to cyclic β-ketoesters promoted by a readily accessible chiral copper catalyst and involving an easy-to-prepare and isolable organoborate reagent.
