AbstractSeveral prenylated naphthalene derivatives were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. One of these compounds, 2-methoxycarbonyl-3-prenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone, was detected as a new natural product in the root system of Galium mollugo L. This new natural product is likely to be related to the biosynthesis of mollugin and anthraquinones.

AbstractBetulinic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic lupane-type triterpenoid usually isolated from birch trees, but present in many other botanical sources. It is found in different plant organs, both as a free aglycon and as glycosyl derivatives. A wide range of pharmacological activities has been described for this triterpenoid, including antiviral and antitumor effects. In addition, several other interesting properties have been identified in the fields of immunity and metabolism, namely antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Taken together, these latter three properties make betulinic acid a highly interesting prospect for treating metabolic syndrome. The present review focuses on the therapeutic potential of this agent, along with several of its semisynthetic derivatives, which could open new frontiers in the use of natural product-based medicines.

Pladienolides, an emerging class of naturally occurring spliceosome modulators, exhibit interesting structural features, such as highly substituted 12-membered macrocycles and epoxide-containing diene side chains. The potential of pladienolides as anti-cancer agents is confirmed by H3B-8800, a synthetic analog of this natural product class, which is currently under Phase I clinical trials. Since its isolation in 2004 and the first total synthesis in 2007, a dozen total syntheses and synthetic approaches toward the pladienolide class have been reported to date. This review focuses on the eight completed total syntheses of naturally occurring pladienolides or their synthetic analogs, in addition to a synthetic approach to the main framework of the natural product.

A new secobeyerenoic acid mono ester, ent-2,3-secobeyer-15-en-2,3-dioic acid, 3-methyl ester was isolated from the heartwood of Spirostachys africana and identified using spectroscopic methods. The mono ester was also prepared using two methods; by reacting the known diacid, ent-2,3-secobeyer-15-en-2,3-dioic acid with 1.5 mole equivalency of diazomethane, and methanolysis of ent-2,3-secobeyer-15-en-2,3-dioic anhydride.

Three bromopyrrole alkaloids (1–3) were isolated from the acetone extracts of Didiscus oxeata during chemical and biological investigation of Caribbean and Indo-Pacific marine sponges. The structures were established by spectroscopic methods. Mukanadin D (3) was obtained for the first time as a naturally-occurring C11 bromopyrrole alkaloid.

In total, three sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids, including two new compounds and a triterpene, were isolated from the n-hexane extract of the stem barks of Hippocratea excelsa. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Pristimerin, a naturally occurring triterpenoid, exhibited cytotoxicity against L1210 cells.

Ganoderma applanatum is a fungus used for the prevention and treatment of a variety of disorders in China. In the present study, four new compounds, named shushe acids A-D (1-4), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of this species. Their structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1-4 are all natural product hybrids composed of derivatives of gallic acid, glycerol and succinic acid. None of the four compounds showed activity against the MCF-7 cell line.

The synthesis of the title compound, isolated from the brown kelp ( Ecklonia radiata ) or the giant clam (Tridacna maxima), is reported. Glycosidation of 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri- O- benzoyl -β-D-ribose, either directly with (S)-1,2-di-O-benzylglycerol or via the derived orthoester with (S)-1,2-O-isopropylideneglycerol, led to two fully protected glycerol β-D- ribofuranosides. Subsequent chemical manipulations led to a common intermediate having a free hydroxy group at C5 of the D-ribose residue. Replacement of this hydroxy group by a chlorine atom allowed the introduction of the dimethylarsinyl group at C5 in a two-step procedure, and removal of protecting groups provided the natural product.
