Abstract
Bengamide E is a bioactive natural product that was isolated from Jaspidae sponges by Crews and co-workers in 1989. It displays a wide range of biological activities, including antitumor, antibiotic, and anthelmintic properties. With the aim of investigating the structural feature essential for their activity, several total syntheses of Bengamide E and its analogues have been reported in the literature. Nevertheless, no synthesis of the stereoisomer with modification of its configuration at C-4 carbon has been reported so far. Here, we report the first total synthesis of the 4-epi-Bengamide E. Key reactions in the synthesis include a chemoenzimatic desymmetrization of biobased starting materials and a diastereoselective Passerini reaction using a chiral, enantiomerically pure aldehyde, and a lysine-derived novel isocyanide.

The Development of the Bengamides as New Antibiotics against Drug-Resistant Bacteria. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20060373.

Abstract
The bengamides comprise an interesting family of natural products isolated from sponges belonging to the prolific Jaspidae family. Their outstanding antitumor properties, coupled with their unique mechanism of action and unprecedented molecular structures, have prompted an intense research activity directed towards their total syntheses, analogue design, and biological evaluations for their development as new anticancer agents. Together with these biological studies in cancer research, in recent years, the bengamides have been identified as potential antibiotics by their impressive biological activities against various drug-resistant bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Staphylococcus aureus. This review reports on the new advances in the chemistry and biology of the bengamides during the last years, paying special attention to their development as promising new antibiotics. Thus, the evolution of the bengamides from their initial exploration as antitumor agents up to their current status as antibiotics is described in detail, highlighting the manifold value of these marine natural products as valid hits in medicinal chemistry.

Bengamide Analogues Show A Potent Antitumor Activity against Colon Cancer Cells: A Preliminary Study. Mar Drugs 2020; 18:md18050240.

Abstract
The limited success and side effects of the current chemotherapeutic strategies against colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer worldwide, demand an assay with new drugs. The prominent antitumor activities displayed by the bengamides (Ben), a family of natural products isolated from marine sponges of the Jaspidae family, were explored and investigated as a new option to improve CRC treatment. To this end, two potent bengamide analogues, Ben I (5) and Ben V (10), were selected for this study, for which they were synthesized according to a new synthetic strategy recently developed in our laboratories. Their antitumor effects were analyzed in human and mouse colon cell lines, using cell cycle analysis and antiproliferative assays. In addition, the toxicity of the selected analogues was tested in human blood cells. These biological studies revealed that Ben I and V produced a significant decrease in CRC cell proliferation and induced a significant cell cycle alteration with a greater antiproliferative effect on tumor cell lines than normal cells. Interestingly, no toxicity effects were detected in blood cells for both compounds. All these biological results render the bengamide analogues Ben I and Ben V as promising antitumoral agents for the treatment of CRC.

Abstract
This review focuses entirely on the natural bengamides and selected synthetic analogues that have inspired decades of research. Bengamide A was first reported in 1986 from the sponge Jaspis cf. coriacea, and bengamide-containing sponges have been gathered from many biogeographic sites. In 2005, a terrestrial Gram-negative bacterium, Myxococcus virescens, was added as a source for bengamides. Biological activity data using varying bengamide-based scaffolds has enabled fine-tuning of structure-activity relationships. Molecular target finding contributed to the creation of a synthetic "lead" compound, LAF389, that was the subject of a phase I anticancer clinical trial. Despite clinical trial termination, the bengamide compound class is still attracting worldwide attention. Future breakthroughs based on the bengamide scaffold are possible and could build on their nanomolar in vitro and positive in vivo antiproliferative and antiangiogenic properties. Bengamide molecular targets include methionine aminopeptidases (MetAP1 and MetAP2) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB). A mixed PKS/NRPS biosynthetic gene cluster appears to be responsible for creation of the bengamides. This review highlights that the bengamides have driven inspirational studies and that they will remain relevant for future research, even 30 years after the discovery of the first structures.

Abstract
Starting from d-glycero-d-gulo-heptonic acid γ-lactone and amino acids, a number of diastereoisomeric bengamide analogues were synthesized. Optimization of the reaction conditions revealed that microwave irradiation assistance is a powerful method for the preparation of aminolactams, as well as for the coupling reactions of the lactone 5 with aminolactams. Cytotoxic activity evaluation against six cancer cell lines (KB, HepG2, LU1, MCF7, HL60, and Hela) demonstrated that the configuration of C-2' seems to be critical for the cytotoxic activity of compounds 8b (2'R) and 8a (2'S). Additionally, comparison of cytotoxicity of the protected acetonide compounds with that of their corresponding deprotected bengamide analogues suggested that the flexibility of the ketide side chain should be required for their cytotoxic activity.

Abstract
Sponges corresponding to the Jaspidae family have proved to be a prolific source of bioactive natural products. Among these, the bengamides and the bengazoles stand out by virtue of their unprecedented molecular architectures and impressive biological profiles, including antitumor, antibiotic and anthelmintic properties. As a consequence, intense research activity has been devoted to these compounds from both chemical and biological standpoints. This review describes in detail the research into these classes of natural products and the benefits they offer in chemistry and biology.

Abstract
Based on our previously described synthetic strategy for bengamide E, a natural product of marine origin with antitumor activity, a small library of analogues modified at the terminal olefinic position was generated with the objective of investigating the effect of structural modifications on antitumor properties. Biological evaluation of these analogues, consisting of IC50 determinations against various tumor cell lines, revealed important aspects with respect to the structural requirements of this olefinic position for activity. Interestingly, the analogue possessing a cyclopentyl group displayed greater potency than the parent bengamide E, representing a key finding upon which to base further investigations into the design of new analogues with promising biological activities.
