Synthesis and biological activity of thiophene bioisosteres of natural styryl lactone goniofufurone and related compounds. Eur J Med Chem 2024; 269:116340. [PMID: 38527380 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Ten new thiophene derivatives related to goniofufurone have been obtained by multistep synthesis starting from d-glucose. The critical step of the synthesis was the Grignard reaction of 2-thienyl magnesium bromide with a protected dialdose, yielding the C-5 epimeric thiophene derivatives 9 and 10. The mixture was oxidized to the 5-keto derivative 11, which after deprotection was converted to the corresponding keto-lactone 14. Stereoselective reduction of 14 afforded the thiophene mimic of goniofufurone 3. Esterification of 3 with cinnamic or 4-fluorocinnamic acid gave hybrids 5-7. Synthesized analogues were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against several tumour cell lines. The vast majority of them showed better activity than lead 1. In the culture of K562 cells, compound 3 was more active than the commercial antitumour drug doxorubicin. Structural features of analogues important for their antiproliferative activities were identified by SAR analysis. Pro-apoptotic potential examination of compound 3 on the K562 cell line was performed using flow cytometry, double fluorescence staining and apoptotic morphology screening. Results show that this derivative induces cell membrane disruptions attributable to apoptosis and induces the apoptotic morphology, but decreasing simultaneously the population of cells in the subG1 phase of the cell cycle. The results further suggest that analogue 3 achieves strong cytotoxicity without causing DNA fragmentation. This is clearly indicated by the relatively low incidence of micronuclei, as well as the SAR analysis of all biological effects.

Abstract
The [3.3.0]furofuranone structure is found in numerous families of biologically active natural products. We took advantage of the stereodiversity afforded by carbohydrate derivatives to prepare several compounds structurally similar to goniofufurone and crassalactones which are natural cytotoxic agents. We designed and synthesized several stereoisomers of these natural compounds via lactonization of C-glycosyl compounds bearing an hydroxyl on position 4 and a methyl ester on the pseudo-anomeric positionThe reactivity of this bicyclic moiety was explored through etherification of hydroxyls in position 5 and 7 and various substituants (halogen, phenyl, benzyl, cynanmoyl) were introduced. The anti-proliferative properties of these mimics were then evaluated on various cancer cell lines and two compounds 24 and 35 demonstrated IC50 value of 1.34 µM (U251) and 7.60 µM (U87) respectively.

Abstract
Novel goniofufurone (1) and 7-epi-goniofufurone (2) derivatives bearing a methoxy group at the C-5 and/or C-7 positions were prepared and their in vitro antitumour activity against some human tumour cell lines was evaluated. Some of the analogues displayed powerful antiproliferative effects against the studied tumour cells, but almost all of them were non-cytotoxic toward the normal cells (MRC-5). A SAR study reveals that the introduction of a methoxy group at the C-7 position may increase the antiproliferative effects of the analogues. The most active compounds are 7-O-methyl derivatives of goniofufurone (3) and 7-epi-(+)-goniofufurone (6), which exhibited 1177- and 451-fold higher potencies than the leads 1 and 2 toward the MDA-MB 231 cell line. At the same time, compound 3 is almost 1.5-fold more active than the commercial drug doxorubicin (DOX) against the same cell line. Flow cytometry data confirmed that the cytotoxic effects of these analogues are mediated by apoptosis, additionally revealing that these molecules induced changes in the K562 cell cycle distribution.

Abstract
The structurally intriguing terpenes pallambins C and D have been assembled in only 11 steps from a cheap commodity chemical: furfuryl alcohol. This synthesis, which features a redox-economic approach free of protecting-group manipulations, assembles all four-ring systems via a sequential cyclization strategy. Of these four-ring constructing operations, two are classical (Robinson annulation and Mukaiyama aldol) and two are newly devised. During the course of this work a method for the difunctionalization of enol ethers was developed, and the scope of this transformation was explored.
