ABSTRACT DAMASCENOLIDETM [1, 4-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)furan-2(5H)-one], which has a citrus-like odor, is an important aroma component of roses. We have previously reported on the synthesis and odor evaluation of 24 analogs of 1 as part of our new aroma compound developing project. To accumulate more information on structure–odor relationships, 10 more promising analogs such as dimethylated and cyclopropanated analogs were synthesized and subjected to odor evaluation. As a result, it was found that dimethylation of the furanone ring affected the odor. It was also found that cyclopropanation of 1 affected the odor, whereas cyclopropanation of the double bond isomer of 1 did not significantly affect the odor. The effects on the odor caused by ring size expansion and replacement of the side chain were also investigated.

Three known impurities of cefoxitin have been prepared and characterised. One is a double-bond isomer of cefoxitin, Δ3-cefoxitin, which was easily prepared by base-catalysed isomerisation of cefoxitin. The second is a side-chain methoxylated derivative, methoxycefoxitin, which required a four-step synthesis from cephalothin. The last impurity is a lactone lacking the carbamyl grouping in cefoxitin, cefoxitin lactone, which was also prepared in four steps from cephalothin. The accessibility of these three impurities and methods for their analysis could be important for quality control in the manufacture of cefoxitin.

Background: Vietnam currently imports up to 90% of the pharmaceuticals it consumes and 100% of the steroid-based pharmaceuticals. The ability for efficient chemical synthesis of the steroids could create commercial opportunities to address this issue. Synthesis of 21-acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11)- triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione is considered a key intermediate in the scheme of steroidal drug synthesis. Previous synthesis attempts of such steroids (corticoids) introduce a double bond at C-1(2) in the final stage of synthesis, which delivers a poor yield and reduces the economic efficiency of the process. Objective: To study and develop a novel and effective method for the synthesis of 21-acetoxypregna- 1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione. Methods: Using 9α-hydroxyandrostenedione as a substrate chemical synthesis was performed as follows: pregnane side chain construction at C-17 (acetylene method), introduction of C-1(2) double bond (using SeO2), epimerization of C-17 (via 17-ONO2 ester) and Stork’s iodination. Results: 21-acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione was prepared from 9α- hydroxyandrostenedione with an improved yield compared to previous attempts. Conclusion: Here, 21-acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione has been synthesized from 9α-hydroxyandrostenedione based on a novel, effective and commercially feasible scheme. The introduction of the C-1(2) double bond at an earlier stage of the synthesis has increased the economic efficiency of the entire process. For the first time, the indirect epimerization mechanism has been clarified along with the configuration of the C-17 stereo-center which has been confirmed using NOESY data.

ABSTRACT DAMASCENOLIDETM [1, 4-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)furan-2(5H)-one], which is isolated from damask rose, is a useful aroma compound with a citrus-like odor. We have previously reported on the synthesis and odor properties of 34 analogs of 1 as part of our new aroma compound development project. In order to develop better aroma compounds and to gather more information on structure-odor relationships, six novel sulfur-containing analogs of 1 were synthesized. Odor evaluation revealed that their odors differed significantly from those of the corresponding sulfur-free compounds. The introduction of a sulfur atom does not necessarily result in a sulfur-like odor. In particular, the 2(5H)-thiophenone analogs gave waxy, oily and lactone-like odors that are uncharacteristic of sulfur-containing compounds. In many synthesized analogs, the introduction of a sulfur atom led to an increase in odor intensity, as expected.

Different Strains

: For several decades, biotransformational studies on steroidal compounds have gained a lot of attention because it is an efficient approach for the structural modification of complicated natural or synthetic compounds with high regio-, chemo- and stereoselectivity at environmentally friendly conditions. This review summarizes the use of different strains of Cunninghamella blakesleeana for the biotransformation of sixteen steroids 1-16 into a variety of transformed products. The transformed products may be important as a drug or precursor for the production of important pharmaceuticals. The types of reactions performed by C. blakesleeana include hydroxylation, epoxidation, reduction, demethylation, oxidation, glycosidation, double bond formation, side-chain degradation, isomerisation and opening of an isoxazol ring, which would be difficult to produce by traditional synthesis.

The conjugated triene side-chain of ebelin lactone has been degraded in a stepwise manner using osmium tetroxide. A new isomer of ebelin lactone has been isolated from the sapogenin mixture and has been assigned the structure (9) in which the 25(26) double bond has the cis configuration. Autoxidation of ebelin lactone in the solid state yields a mixture from which three compounds have been isolated and identified; all three arise from oxidation of the side-chain at the terminal double bond and methyl groups.

Eupentacta Fraudatrix

Three new minor triterpene glycosides, cucumariosides I1 (1), I3 (2) and I4 (3) have been isolated from the Far Eastern sea cucumber Eupentacta fraudatrix. Structures of the glycosides were elucidated by 2D NMR spectroscopy and MS. Glycosides 1–3 belong to the group of cucumariosides I, having branched pentasaccharide carbohydrate moieties with two sulfate groups and possessing 3- O-methyl-D-xylose as a terminal monosaccharide unit that is a characteristic feature of all the glycosides isolated from E. fraudatrix. Glycosides 1 and 2 differ from each other by the side chain structures in the holostane aglycone moieties, while cucumarioside I4 (3) has a 23,24,25,26,27-pentanorlanostane aglycone with an 18(16)-lactone. Cytotoxic activities of glycosides 1–3 against mouse spleen lymphocytes and ascite form of mouse Ehrlich carcinoma cells, along with hemolytic activity against mouse erythrocytes and antifungal activity were studied. Glycoside 1, having an aglycone side chain with a 24(25)-double bond, possesses moderate activity in all the tests, while glycoside 2, having 23(24)-double bond and 25-hydroxy group in the side chain, and glycoside 3 with an aglycone with an 18(16)-lactone and shortened side chain have either low activity or are non-active.

Treatment of oleana-12,15-diene-3β,28-diol 3-acetate with a cold pyridine solution of p-toluene-sulfonyl chloride leads to expansion of ring D with the formation of 28-nor-D(16a)-homo-oleana-12,15,17(18)- trien-3β-yl acetate (7). Under more vigorous conditions a mixture of the D-homo compound (7) and a double bond isomer (11) is obtained. Subjection of oleana-13(18),15-diene-3β,28- diol 3-acetate to similar reflux conditions also forms the D-homo compound (7).
