Abstract
We report a unified total synthesis of five bufadienolides: bufalin (1), bufogenin B (2), bufotalin (3), vulgarobufotoxin (4), and 3-(N-succinyl argininyl) bufotalin (5). After the steroidal ABCD ring 8 was produced, the D ring was cross-coupled with a 2-pyrone moiety and stereoselectively epoxidized to generate 6. TMSOTf promoted a stereospecific 1,2-hydride shift from 6 to establish the β-oriented 2-pyrone of 19. Functional group manipulations from 19 furnished 1-5, which potently inhibited cancer cell growth.

Abstract
Bufadienolides are a type of natural cardiac steroids and originally isolated from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Chan'Su, they have been used for the treatment of heart disease in traditional remedies as well as in modern medicinal therapy with potent anti-tumor activities. Due to their unique molecular structures with unsaturated six-membered lactones attached to the steroid core, bufadienolides have received great attention in the synthetic organic community. This review presents total synthetic efforts to some representative bufadienolides, chemical modification of bufadienolides will also be given to discuss their structure-activity relationship in anti-tumor.

Abstract
Covering: early studies through to March 2016Cardenolides and bufadienolides constitute an attractive class of biologically active steroid derivatives which have been used for the treatment of heart disease in traditional remedies as well as in modern medicinal therapy. Due to their application as therapeutic agents and their unique molecular structures, bearing unsaturated 5- or 6-membered lactones (or other heterocycles) attached to the steroid core, cardio-active steroids have received great attention, which has intensified during the last decade, in the synthetic organic community. Advances in the field of cross-coupling reactions have provided a powerful tool for the attachment of lactone subunits to the steroid core. This current review covers a methodological analysis of synthetic efforts to cardenolide and bufadienolide aglycones. Special emphasis is given to cross-coupling reactions applied for the attachment of lactone subunits at sterically very hindered positions of the steroid core. The carefully selected partial and total syntheses of representative cardio-active steroids will also be presented to exemplify recent achievements (improvements) in the field.

Abstract
Malaria represents one of the most medically and economically debilitating diseases present in the world today. Fortunately, there exists a highly effective treatment based on the natural product artemisinin. Despite the development of several synthetic approaches to the natural product, a streamlined synthesis that utilizes low-cost chemical inputs has yet to materialize. Here we report an efficient, cost-effective approach to artemisinin. Key to the success of the strategy was the development of mild, complexity-building reaction cascades that allowed the use of readily available, affordable cyclohexenone as the key starting material.
