The endoperoxide scaffold is found in numerous natural products and synthetic substances of pharmaceutical interest. main challenge to their access remains the preparation chiral compounds due weakness peroxide bond, which limits scope available or applicable methods. Here, we demonstrate how peroxycarbenium species can be trapped by silylated nucleophiles with high enantioselectivities diastereoselectivities when applicable, using a imidophosphorimidate (IDPi) as catalyst. methodology...
Several studies have reported that the tetracycline (TC) class antibiotic doxycycline (DOX) is effective against Parkinson's disease (PD) pathomechanisms. The aim of present work was three-fold: (i) Establish a model system to better characterize neuroprotection by DOX; (ii) Compare rescue effect DOX other TC antibiotics; (iii) Discover novel neuroprotective TCs having reduced activity. For that, we used cultures mouse midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons and experimental conditions iron-mediated...
Oncogenic metabolism depends on multifaceted mechanisms, including bidirectional inter-organelle communication between mitochondria and the nucleus, facilitating cellular adaptation at transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic levels. The mitochondrial protein complex composed of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain-containing 4 (CHCHD4) is essential for this mitochondrio-nuclear communication. AIF/CHCHD4 mediates import cysteine-enriched nuclear...
A chemoselective synthesis of the macrocyclic core leucascandrolide has been achieved, utilizing highly enantioselective allylmetalations, an Noyori reduction a propargylic ketone and olefin metatheses as key steps.
A chemoselective synthesis of 1, the macrocyclic core leucascandrolide A, has been achieved by utilizing highly enantioselective allylmetalations, an Noyori reduction a propargylic ketone, and olefin metatheses as key steps.
[structure: see text] A convergent and rapid stereoselective synthesis of (-)-spongidepsin has been achieved from the Roche ester in 14 steps with an overall yield 13%.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of aging characterized by motor symptoms that result from the loss midbrain dopamine neurons and disruption dopamine-mediated neurotransmission. There currently no curative treatment for this disorder. To discover druggable neuroprotective compounds neurons, we have designed synthesized second-generation quinoxaline-derived molecules based on structure–activity relationship studies, which led previously to discovery our first brain...
Abstract Herein we report the use of catalytic amount scandium(III) triflate or indium(III) chloride (with trimethylsilyl chloride) for functionalization endoperoxyacetals through Sakurai Mukaiyama reactions. These catalysts allow milder and more practical conditions than those previously reported with improvements in scope reproducibility. This method allows a full sequence from cyclopropanols to produce desired functionalized 1,2‐dioxolanes. magnified image
The synthesis of acetoxyendoperoxyacetal derivatives allowed the formation functionalized 3,5-disubstituted 1,2-dioxolanes through reactive peroxycarbenium species under Lewis acid mediation. introduction a neutral nucleophile such as allylsilane, silane, or silyl enol ether was accomplished with moderate to good yields. two studied acids, TiCl4 and SnCl4, gave contrasting results. higher diastereoselectivity toward trans diastereomer in experiments explained by faster degradation cis isomer...
Cyclobutanols undergo an oxidative ring expansion with Co(acac)2 and triplet oxygen to give 1,2-dioxanols. The formation of alkoxy radical drives the regioselective cleavage on more substituted side before insertion molecular oxygen. reaction is particularly effective secondary cyclobutanols but works also certain tertiary alcohols. Further substitution neutral nucleophiles under catalytic Lewis acid conditions led original 1,2-dioxanes a preferred 3,6-cis-configuration.
Amphidinolides F, C, C2, and C3 are marine natural products isolated from dinoflagellates Amphidinium species. They share the same macrolactone core, with difference between them residing at side chain level. A predominant feature of these amphidinolides is presence two trans-THF rings inside which thought to be built by C-glycosylation titanium enolate N-acetyl oxazolinethiones. Thus, original strategy for their total synthesis was based on assembly three main fragments corresponding C1–C9,...

The synthesis of the C(1)−C(9) fragment amphidinolides C, C2, and F was achieved by using a vinyloguous Mukaiyama aldol reaction on chiral aldehyde with silyloxyfuran C-glycosylation lactol derivative an acetyl oxazolidinethione. From available acetonide−glyceraldehyde, all stereogenic centers were perfectly induced along synthesis. synthesized as vinyl stannane at C(9) in 10 steps, 16% yield.
A new and efficient convergent approach toward the synthesis of amphidinolide F is described through assembly three fragments. The two trans-tetrahydrofurans were built by a diastereoselective C-glycosylation with titanium enolate bulky N-acetyloxazolidinethiones. side chain was inserted Liebeskind–Srogl cross-coupling reaction. sulfone condensation/desulfonylation sequence, Stille cross-coupling, macrolactonization applied to connect
A tetrahydroisoquinoline identified in Mucuna pruriens ((1R,3S)-6,7-dihydroxy-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1,3-dicarboxylic acid, compound 4) was synthesized and assessed for its vitro pharmacological profile vivo effects two animal models of Parkinson's disease. Compound 4 inhibits catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) with no affinity the dopaminergic receptors or dopamine transporter. It restores dopamine-mediated motor behavior when it is co-administered L-DOPA to C. elegans...
