A series of enantiomerically pure C8c–C15 monoseco analogues, 23–30, of the alkaloids cryptopleurine (1) and julandine (2) have been prepared using cinnamyl chloride 37 and (S)- or (R)-2-methylpiperidine as key building blocks. Two related compounds, 31 and 32, have also been synthesized. Each of these analogues has been subjected to various biological evaluations and most of them show dramatically reduced cytotoxicity compared with parent system 1. Nevertheless, they are potent anti-angiogenic agents. The formation and single-crystal X-ray analysis of the spirocyclic dienone 54, a by-product arising from attempts to prepare analogue 32, is also described.

bis-Crotonate and related α,β-unsaturated ester derivatives of readily available and enantiomerically pure cis-1,2-dihydrocatechols engage, upon heating in refluxing toluene, in two competitive intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions to give varying mixtures of chromatographically separable and pseudo-enantiomeric bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-enes. Such adducts, many of which have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis, are likely to serve as useful building blocks in natural products synthesis.

Two novel analogues, 2 and 3, of the C-riboside showdomycin (1) have been prepared by exploiting the N-TIPS-substituted pyrrole 7 as a synthetic equivalent for the maleimide C3 anion. The tetraacetate precursor, 12, of target 2 as well as target 3 itself were subjected to single-crystal X-ray analyses. Analogues 2 and 3 as well as showdomycin and its anomer (4) have each been evaluated in various assays for their cytotoxic, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral effects.

AbstractIn this paper, the synthesis of the carbon skeleton of cotylenin A aglycone is described. The key reactions, including an intramolecular aldol reaction, an aldol coupling reaction, and a ring-closing meta­thesis, allow for the effective and stereoselective access to the carbon skeleton of cotylenin A aglycone. The stereochemistry was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses of related compounds.

In continuation of synthetic pursuit of metallo-nucleosides, in particular dicobalt hexacarbonyl 5-alkynyl-2′-deoxyuridines, novel compounds with alkynyl groups were synthesized, starting from 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine. Reactions of dicobalt octacarbonyl [Co2(CO)8] with 2′-deoxy-5-oxopropynyluridines and related compounds gave dicobalt hexacarbonyl nucleoside complexes (83–31%). The growth inhibition of HeLa and K562 cancer cell lines by organometallic nucleosides was examined and compared to that by alkynyl nucleoside precursors. Coordination of the dicobalt carbonyl moiety to the 2′-deoxy-5-alkynyluridines led to a significant increase in its cytotoxic potency. The cobalt compounds antiproliferative activities against the HeLa cell line and the K562 cell line will be described. Coordination of an acetyl-substituted cobalt nucleoside was expanded using the 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) ligand, resulting in cytotoxicity at comparable levels. The formation of reactive oxygen species in the presence of cobalt compounds was determined in K562 cells. The results indicate that the mechanism of action for most antiproliferative cobalt compounds may be related to the induction of oxidative stress.
