Abstract
A Lewis acid-mediated, 5/6/7/8-endo-dig reductive hydroalkoxylation cascade on enynols gives expeditious, diastereoselective access to small and medium ring cyclic ethers with a long aliphatic side chain. The brevity of the approach allowed a 4-step, stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-isolaurepan and (±)-cis-lauthisan.

Abstract
Breast and gynecological cancers are major health concerns due to their increasing incidence rates, and in some cases, their low survival probability. In recent years, multiple compounds of natural origin have been analyzed as alternative treatments for this disease. For instance, Acetogenins are plant secondary metabolites from the Annonaceae family, and its potential anticancer activity has been reported against a wide range of cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Several studies have demonstrated promising results of Acetogenins' antitumor capacity, given their selective activity of cellular inhibition at low concentrations. This review outlines the origin, structure, and antineoplastic activities in vitro and in vivo of Acetogenins from Annonaceae against breast cancer and gynecological cancers reported to date. Here, we also provide a systematic summary of the activity and possible mechanisms of action of Acetogenins against these types of cancer and provide references for developing future therapies based on Acetogenins and nanotechnologies.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the target sites for multiple disease manifestations, for which it is appealing to researchers' attention for advanced pharmacological interventions. Mitochondrial inhibitors from natural sources are of therapeutic interest due to their promising benefits on physiological complications. Mitochondrial complexes I, II, III, IV, and V are the most common sites for the induction of inhibition by drug candidates, henceforth alleviating the manifestations, prevalence, as well as severity of diseases. Though there are few therapeutic options currently available on the market. However, it is crucial to develop new candidates from natural resources, as mitochondria-targeting abnormalities are rising to a greater extent. Marine and terrestrial sources possess plenty of bioactive compounds that are appeared to be effective in this regard. Ample research investigations have been performed to appraise the potentiality of these compounds in terms of mitochondrial disorders. So, this review outlines the role of terrestrial and marine-derived compounds in mitochondrial inhibition as well as their clinical status too. Additionally, mitochondrial regulation and, therefore, the significance of mitochondrial inhibition by terrestrial and marine-derived compounds in drug discovery are also discussed.

Abstract
In 1789, the Annonaceae family was catalogued by de Jussieu. It encompasses tropical and subtropical plants which are widespread in distribution across various continents such as Asia, South and Central America, Australia and Africa. The genus of Annona is one of 120 genera of the Annonaceae family and contains more than 119 species of trees and shrubs. Most species are found in tropical America, where over 105 species have been identified. Due to its edible fruits and medicinal properties, Annona is the most studied genus of Annonaceae family. To date, only a limited number of these species have economic value, including A. squamosa L. (sugar apple), A. cherimola Mill. (Cherimoya), A. muricata L. (guanabana or soursop), A. atemoya Mabb. (atemoya), a hybrid between A. cherimola and A. squamosa, A. reticulata L. (custard apple), A. glabra L. (pond-apple) and A. macroprophyllata Donn. Sm. (ilama). Phytochemically, several classes of secondary metabolites, including acetogenins, essential oils, alkaloids, terpenoids and flavonoids. The pharmacological activities of Annona species leaves and seeds include antibacterial, anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Abstract
Dess-Martin periodinane (DMP), a commercially available chemical, is frequently utilized as a mild oxidative agent for the selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones, respectively. DMP shows several merits over other common oxidative agents such as chromiumand DMSO-based oxidants; thus, it is habitually employed in the total synthesis of natural products. In this review, we try to underscore the applications of DMP as an effective oxidant in an appropriate step (steps) in the multi-step total synthesis of natural products.

Abstract
Substituted pyranones and tetrahydropyrans are structural subunits of many bioactive natural products. Considerable efforts are devoted toward the chemical synthesis of these natural products due to their therapeutic potential as well as low natural abundance. These embedded pyranones and tetrahydropyran structural motifs have been the subject of synthetic interest over the years. While there are methods available for the syntheses of these subunits, there are issues related to regio and stereochemical outcomes, as well as versatility and compatibility of reaction conditions and functional group tolerance. The Achmatowicz reaction, an oxidative ring enlargement of furyl alcohol, was developed in the 1970s. The reaction provides a unique entry to a variety of pyranone derivatives from functionalized furanyl alcohols. These pyranones provide convenient access to substituted tetrahydropyran derivatives. This review outlines general approaches to the synthesis of tetrahydropyrans, covering general mechanistic aspects of the Achmatowicz reaction or rearrangement with an overview of the reagents utilized for the Achmatowicz reaction. The review then focuses on the synthesis of functionalized tetrahydropyrans and pyranones and their applications in the synthesis of natural products and medicinal agents.

Abstract
Acetogenins from the Annonaceous plant are a fatty acid-derived natural product. Chemically synthesized natural acetogenins, such as mucocin (compound 1), jimenezin (compound 2), muconin (compound 4), pyranicin (compound 5) and pyragonicin (compound 6) were investigated. Concomitantly, 19-epi jimenezin (compound 3), 10-epi pyragonicin (compound 7) and a γ-lactone (compound 8), which is estimated to be a biosynthetic precursor of acetogenins, were synthesized and investigated. Compounds 5 and 6 strongly inhibited, and compound 7 moderately inhibited the activities of mammalian DNA polymerases (pols), such as replicative pol α and repair/recombination-related pol β and λ, and also inhibited human DNA topoisomerase (topos) I and II activities. On the other hand, compounds 1-4 and 8 did not influence the activities of any pols and topos. Compound 5 was the strongest inhibitor of the pols and topos tested, and the IC(50) values were 5.0-9.6 μM, respectively. These compounds also suppressed human cancer cell growth with almost the same tendency as the inhibition of pols and topos. Compound 5 was the strongest suppressor of the proliferation of the promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60, in human cancer cell lines tested with an LD(50) value of 9.4 μM, and arrested the cells at G1 phases, indicating that it blocks DNA replication by inhibiting the activity of pols rather than topos. This compound also induced cell apoptosis. The relationship between the three-dimensional molecular structure of acetogenins and these inhibitory activities is discussed. The results suggested that compound 5 is a lead compound of potentially useful cancer chemotherapy agents.

Abstract
The asymmetric total synthesis of pyranicin (1) is reported. The butenolide ring was constructed via an asymmetric alkylation/ring-closing metathesis strategy. The three stereocenters in the left-hand tetrahydropyran ring were installed by sequential chiral auxiliary-mediated aldol reactions. Closure of the tetrahydropyran and fusion of the alkyl backbone were affected via a sequential ring-closing metathesis-cross-metathesis strategy.

Abstract
A modular, 13-step synthesis of the tetrahydropyran-containing annonaceous acetogenin pyranicin is reported. Key features are the use of an Achmatowicz oxidation-Kishi reduction sequence for the assembly of a pyranone from a furan and the application of Fu's alkyl-alkyl Suzuki coupling for subunit union.

Abstract
The first total syntheses of acetogenin 3 and its 4 S,8 R-isomer are described. The key step involves intermolecular metathesis of an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone carrying a tetrahydropyranyl lactone with a tetrahydrofuran derivative. Compound 3 has spectroscopic and physical data consistent with those of natural montanacin D, suggesting that the absolute configuration of the natural product is as shown in 3.

Abstract
Total synthesis of pyranicin was achieved using Cl2Pd(CH3CN)2-catalyzed diastereoselective cyclization of the allylic ester as the key step. The inhibitory activity of this compound for mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) was slightly poorer than that of ordinary mono-THF acetogenins such as cis-solamin.

Abstract
This paper describes a second-generation synthesis of an antitumor tetrahydropyran (THP) acetogenin, pyragonicin. The key step involved an olefin cross-metathesis between the THP segment and the terminal gamma-lactone residue. The coupling reaction in the presence of Grubbs' second-generation catalyst resulted in an unseparable mixture of a desired coupling product and its one-carbon eliminated product while the use of Grubbs' first-generation catalyst afforded the former exclusively. A novel MOM-migrating reaction found in a cyclization reaction is also discussed.

Abstract
Syntheses of the nonclassical annonaceous acetogenins, pyranicin, and pyragonicin from common late-stage intermediates are presented. The construction of key elements relies on asymmetric HWE reactions, including the desymmetrization of a meso-dialdehyde and a parallel kinetic resolution of a racemic aldehyde. A stereoconvergent Pd-catalyzed substitution serves to install the C4 stereocenter in protected form with different orthogonal protective groups. A divergent strategy to form 1,4- and 1,6-diols, employing stereoselective Zn-mediated alkynylations, is used for completion of the core structures. Notably, the stereoselective coupling reaction toward pyragonicin proceeds with highly functionalized fragments. The methodology is further expanded by a divergent synthesis of all stereoisomers of the 2,3,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyran subunit.

Abstract
[structure: see text] The total synthesis of acetogenin 1 reported for pyragonicin and its 10-epimer 32 is described. The common THP ring system was stereoselectively constructed through a SmI(2)-induced reductive cyclization of beta-alkoxy acrylate 5 followed by Mitsunobu inversion, and each chiral center at C-10 was created by Brown's asymmetric allylation. Compound 1 had spectroscopic data consistent with that of natural pyragonicin, but a different optical rotation.

Abstract
A new cytotoxic acetogenin, chamuvarinin (1), containing a tetrahydropyran ring with an adjacent bis-tetrahydrofuran ring, which corresponds to a novel carbon skeleton in this series, was isolated from the roots of Uvaria chamae, together with the previously reported acetogenins squamocin (2), desacetyluvaricin (3), and neoannonin (4). The structure determination of chamuvarinin (1) was based on extensive NMR studies and high-resolution mass spectral measurements. This new compound shows significant cytotoxicity toward the KB 3-1 cell line (IC50 = 8 x 10(-10) M). In addition, a biosynthetic relationship between 1 and 2 is briefly discussed.

Abstract
Guided by brine shrimp toxicity and human tumor cell toxicity, fractionation of the alcoholic extract from the stem bark of Goniothalamus marcanii led to the isolation of four new 1-azaanthraquinones: marcanines B (3), C (4), D (5), and E (6), along with two known derivatives: marcanine A and dielsiquinone. A new 5-hydroxy-3-amino-2-aceto-1,4-naphthoquinone (7), a possible 1-azaanthraquinone biosynthetic precursor, was also isolated. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, mainly 1D and 2D NMR techniques ((1)H, (13)C, NOEDS, COSY, HMQC, and HMBC), as well as comparison with literature data. All the compounds except 6 were evaluated for cytotoxic activity. They exhibited significant cytotoxicity against several human tumor cell lines, A-549, HT-29, MCF7, RPMI, and U251 with the ED(50) in the range of 0.04-3.03 microM.

Abstract
The Annonaceous acetogenins are promising new antitumor and pesticidal agents that are found only in the plant family Annonaceae. Chemically, they are derivatives of long-chain fatty acids. Biologically, they exhibit their potent bioactivities through depletion of ATP levels via inhibiting complex I of mitochondria and inhibiting the NADH oxidase of plasma membranes of tumor cells. Thus, they thwart ATP-driven resistance mechanisms. This review presents the progress made in the chemistry, biology, and development of these compounds since December 1995.

Abstract
Goniotricin (1) and a mixture of (2,4-cis and -trans)-xylomaticinones (2), new bioactive annonaceous acetogenins, were isolated from the bark of Goniothalamus giganteus (Annonaceae) by activity-directed fractionation using the brine shrimp lethality test. Compound 1 is the first nonadjacent ring-hydroxylated bis-tetrahydrofuran (THF) acetogenin to be reported. Compound 2 is the cis- and trans-ketolactone mixture of xylomaticin, a known compound whose absolute stereochemistry has not been previously determined. The absolute stereochemistry of 2 was determined by the advanced Mosher's ester method. Both 1 and 2 showed significant and selective cytotoxicities among the six tumor cell lines in our seven-day MTT human solid tumor panel. In the yellow fever mosquito larvae microtiter assay, 1 was quite active, with an ED50 value of 3. 5 microg/mL.
