Hypothemycin, an epoxide derivative of (5)-7-oxozeaenol, was used in the semisynthesis of a series of C8-C9 diol derivatives, with many inhibiting TAK1 at submicromolar concentrations. A step-economical approach was chosen, whereby nonselective reactions functionalized the diol to generate multiple analogues in a single reaction. Using this approach, 35 analogues were synthesized using 12 reactions, providing a wealth of information about the role that the C8-C9 diol plays in TAK1 inhibition and cytotoxicity in ovarian and breast cancer cell lines. Monofunctionalized analogues exhibited strong inhibition of TAK1, showing potential for modification of this section of the molecule to assist with solubility, formulation, and other desirable properties. Most analogues were cytotoxic, and three compounds had similar or slightly increased potency with >100-fold improvement in solubility profiles.

Synthesis of Macrolactone Core of -Formosalide A via Regioselective Ether Cyclization.
J Org Chem

Formosalide A is a cytotoxic macrolide isolated from the dinoflagellate sp, whose structure is characterized by functionalized 5- and 6-membered ether rings embedded in the macrolactone and an all -tetraene side chain. Here, we report the synthesis of the macrolactone core of -formosalide A. Our approach is highlighted by the Au-mediated 6-- cyclization for the synthesis of the 6-membered ether ring, which proceeded in a highly regioselective manner.

A highly modular synthetic strategy for the heronamide C-type polyene macrolactams was established by synthesizing 8-deoxyheronamide C (). The developed strategy enabled not only the total synthesis of 8-deoxyheronamide C () but also the unified synthesis of four heronamide-like molecules named "heronamidoids" (-). Conformational and reactivity analysis of the heronamidoids clarified that (1) the C19 stereochemistry mainly affected the conformation of the amide linkage, resulting in the change of alignment of two polyene units and reactivity toward photochemical [6π + 6π] cycloaddition, and (2) the C8,C9-diol moiety is important for the conversion to the heronamide A-type skeleton from the heronamide C skeleton.

The naphthalene dioxygenase from Sphingomonas CHY-1 exhibits extremely broad substrate specificity toward polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In a previous study, the catalytic rates of oxidation of nine PAHs were determined using the purified dioxygenase, but the oxidation products formed from four- to five-ring hydrocarbons were incompletely characterized. Here, we reexamined PAH oxygenation reactions using Escherichia coli recombinant cells overproducing strain CHY-1 dioxygenase.

Stereoselective synthesis of the C1-C29 part of amphidinol 3 (AM3) was achieved. The C1-C20 part was assembled from three building blocks via regioselective cross metathesis to form the C4-C5 double bond and addition of an alkenyllithium and a lithium acetylide to two Weinreb amides followed by asymmetric reduction to form the C9-C10 and C14-C15 bonds, respectively. The C21-C29 part was synthesized via successive cross metathesis and oxa-Michael addition sequence to construct the 1,3-diol system at C25 and C27 and Brown asymmetric crotylation to introduce the stereogenic centers at C23 and C24.
