Bioorg Chem 2024; 143:107017. [PMID: 38056388 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.107017] [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: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
Eleven new amides, four racemic pairs of (±)-chlorahupetamides A, B, D, E (1, 2, 4, 5) and chlorahupetamides C, F, G (3, 6, 7), have been isolated from Chloranthus henryi var. hupehensis. Compounds 1-3 are the first naturally occurring dimers via an unprecedented [2 + 2] cycloaddition derived from two dissimilar cinnamic acid amides, while compounds 4 and 5 represent the first examples of lignanamides in Chloranthus; together with two new hydroxycinnamic acid amide monomers (6-7), these compounds were obtained. Their structures were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and X-ray diffraction analysis. Meanwhile, an LPS-induced BV-2 cell inflammatory model was used to determine the potential anti-inflammatory activity of all the isolated compounds. Intriguingly, compound -1 treatment showed a much greater inhibition of TNF-α expression with an EC50 value of 1.80 µM, while compound + 1 had more advantages in reducing IL-1β expression with an EC50 value of 19.93 µM. Moreover, compounds + 1 and -1 could significantly suppress inflammation and inhibit the Akt signaling pathway by decreasing the phosphorylated protein levels of Akt.

Abstract
Biocatalytic and chemoenzymatic biosynthesis are powerful methods of organic chemistry that use enzymes to execute selective reactions and allow the efficient production of organic compounds. The advantages of these approaches include high selectivity, mild reaction conditions, and the ability to work with complex substrates. The utilization of chemoenzymatic techniques for the synthesis of complicated compounds has lately increased dramatically in the area of organic chemistry. Biocatalytic technologies and modern synthetic methods are utilized synergistically in a multi-step approach to a target molecule under this paradigm. Chemoenzymatic techniques are promising for simplifying access to essential bioactive compounds because of the remarkable regio- and stereoselectivity of enzymatic transformations and the reaction diversity of modern organic chemistry. Enzyme kits may include ready-to-use, reproducible biocatalysts. Its use opens up new avenues for the synthesis of active therapeutic compounds and aids in drug development by synthesizing active components to construct scaffolds in a targeted and preparative manner. This study summarizes current breakthroughs as well as notable instances of biocatalytic and chemoenzymatic synthesis. To assist organic chemists in the use of enzymes for synthetic applications, it also provides some basic guidelines for selecting the most appropriate enzyme for a targeted reaction while keeping aspects like cofactor requirement, solvent tolerance, use of whole cell or isolated enzymes, and commercial availability in mind.

Abstract
Acylphloroglucinols are well-known Eucalyptus secondary metabolites which exhibit a variety of structures and bioactivities. The investigation of a crude acetone extract of Eucalyptus camaldulensis leaves led to the isolation of two new acylphloroglucinols, eucalypcamals O and P (1 and 2) together with seven phloroglucinols (3-9), and a benzene derivative (10). Their chemical structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy. The absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 2 were established by comparison of experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data. In the putative biosynthetic pathway, eucalypcamals O and P should be derived from hetero-Diels-Alder reaction between grandinol and trans-isoeugenol.

Abstract
A synthetic strategy based on biogenetic building blocks for the collective and divergent biomimetic synthesis of cleistoperlones A-F, a cinnamoylphloroglucinol collection discovered from Cleistocalyx operculatus, has been developed. These syntheses proceeded successfully in only six to seven steps starting from commercially available 1,3,5-benzenetriol and involving oxidative activation of stable biogenetic building blocks as a crucial step. Key features of the syntheses include a unique Michael addition/ketalization/1,6-addition/enol-keto tautomerism cascade reaction for the construction of the dihydropyrano[3,2-d]xanthene tetracyclic core of cleistoperlones A and B, and a rare inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition for the establishment of benzopyran ring in cleistoperlones D-F. Moreover, cleistoperlone A exhibited significant antiviral activity against acyclovir-resistant strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1/Blue and HSV-1/153).

Abstract
We reported the discovery of six novel coumarins, toddasirins A-F (1-6), each endowed with modified isoprenyl or geranyl side chains, derived from the roots of Toddalia asiatica. Comprehensive structural elucidation was achieved through multispectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments, and advanced quantum mechanical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory activity of these compounds was assessed. Notably, compounds 1-3 and 6 demonstrated notable inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells, with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 3.22, 4.78, 8.90, and 4.31 μmol·L-1, respectively.

Abstract
Two novel prenylated acetophenones with new carbon skeletons, acronyrones A and B (1 and 2), and a new analogue, acronyrone C (3), together with two known compounds (4 and 5) were isolated from the leaves of Acronychia pedunculata. Their structures with absolute configurations were identified by interpretation of spectroscopic data, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the first example of prenylated acetophenones possessed a C7 (1) and a C6 (2) side chain, forming a 4-isobutylchroman-2-one unit and a 3-(2-methylpropylidene)benzofuran-2(3H)-one moiety with the acetophenone core, respectively. In addition, compound 4 exhibited significant dose-dependent transcriptional activation effect against retinoid X receptor-α (RXRα), and could be regarded as a new type of non-classical RXR ligand.

Abstract
Biocatalysis is constantly providing novel options for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In addition to drug development and manufacturing, biocatalysis also plays a role in drug discovery and can support many active ingredient syntheses at an early stage to build up entire scaffolds in a targeted and preparative manner. Recent progress in recruiting new enzymes by genome mining and screening or adapting their substrate, as well as product scope, by protein engineering has made biocatalysts a competitive tool applied in academic and industrial spheres. This is especially true for the advances in the field of nonribosomal peptide synthesis and enzyme cascades that are expanding the capabilities for the discovery and synthesis of new bioactive compounds via biotransformation. Here we highlight some of the most recent developments to add to the portfolio of biocatalysis with special relevance for the synthesis and late-stage functionalization of APIs, in order to bypass pure chemical processes.

Abstract
Herein, we present a photocatalyzed two-carbon ring expansion of β-dicarbonyl compounds with unactivated olefins that provides facile access to medium-sized rings. Selective sensitization of the substoichiometric enol tautomer enables reactivity of substrates incompatible with the classical De Mayo reaction conditions. Key to success is the identification of the metal-based sensitizer fac-[Ir(CF3 -pmb)3 ], which can be excited using common near-visible LEDs, and possesses a high triplet excited state energy of 73.3 kcal mol-1 . This exactly falls in the range between the triplet energies of the enol and keto tautomer, thereby enabling a dynamic kinetic sensitization. Demonstrating the applicability of fac-[Ir(CF3 -pmb)3 ] as a photocatalyst in organic synthesis for the first time, we describe a two-step photocycloaddition-ring-opening cascade with β-ketoesters, -diketones, and -ketoamides. The mechanism has been corroborated by time-resolved spectroscopy, as well as further experimental and computational studies.

Abstract
Recent progress in the development of photocatalytic reactions promoted by visible light is leading to a renaissance in the use of photochemistry in the construction of structurally elaborate organic molecules. Because of the rich functionality found in natural products, studies in natural product total synthesis provide useful insights into functional group compatibility of these new photocatalytic methods as well as their impact on synthetic strategy. In this review, we examine total syntheses published through the end of 2020 that employ a visible-light photoredox catalytic step. To assist someone interested in employing the photocatalytic steps discussed, the review is organized largely by the nature of the bond formed in the photocatalytic step.

Abstract
Based on the typical HPLC-UV-MS profiles and characteristic 1H NMR signals, twelve new phloroglucinol-derived lipids (1-12), featuring a long linear aliphatic side chain, together with three known ones (13-15) were isolated from the ethanol extract of the leaves of Syzygium cumini. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive NMR spectroscopic analyses and mass spectrometric data. Compounds 1-5 characterize an enolizable β,β'-tricarbonyl motif with a cyclohexa-3,5-dien-1-one core that is hitherto undescribed in phloroglucinol-derived lipids. Compounds 4 and 10-12 are novel phloroglucinol-derived lipids containing an uncommon methylene interrupted trans double bond in their polyunsaturated aliphatic side chains. A polyketide biogenetic pathway for those phloroglucinol-derived lipids was also proposed. In addition, the isolates were evaluated for their neuroprotective activities against oxygen-glucose deprivation and re‑oxygenation (OGD/R)-induced Neuro-2a cell injury. Notably, compounds 1, 5, and 10-12 significantly improved viability of Neuro-2a cells after OGD/R damage.

Abstract
Leptosparones A-F (1-6), six new dimeric acylphloroglucinol derivatives with unprecedented skeletons, were isolated from Leptospermum scoparium. Compounds 1-3 and 5-6 are phenylpropanoyl-phloroglucinol dimers, while 4 is a phenylpropanoylphloroglucinol-isovalerylphloroglucinol hybrid. Structurally, these compounds represent the first examples of dimeric phloroglucinols with unprecedented C(7')-C(8) linkage between the phloroglucinol core and the acyl side chain. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive analyses of spectroscopic data, single crystal X-ray diffraction and chemical calculations. In addition, all compounds showed inhibitory effects against α-glucosidase with IC50 values ranging from 39.5 to 186.8 μM.

Abstract
Three new β-triketone flavanone hybrids, cajuputones A-C were obtained from Melaleuca cajuputi (the Australian 'tea tree'). The structures of cajuputones A-C were elucidated by 1D/2D NMR spectroscopy and HR-ESI-MS analyses; and their absolute configurations were established by electric circular dichroism (ECD) calculations using TDDFT method. Structurally, cajuputones A-C feature a rare 6/6/6/6 oxatetracyclic ring system fused between an acylphloroglucinol-derived β-triketone and a pinocembrin or strobopinin moiety via an angle-type pyran-like motif. DFT-based conformational optimization in chloroform explained the similarity of the 1D NMR data of cajuputones B and C (C-2 epimers).

Abstract
In the last two decades, the field of photoredox catalysis (PRC) has grown impressively with reports of new synthetic methodologies and more efficient versions of known free-radical reactions. The impressive success of visible-light-mediated photoredox catalysis is, in great part, due to its low environmental impact, mild reaction conditions, clean reactions, and inexpensive methodologies. These features have allowed photoredox catalysis to emerge as a powerful tool in the synthesis of natural products; much excellent work was reported between 2011 and 2015. Since 2016, a number of more efficient and impressive total syntheses of natural products featuring photoredox catalysis have been reported. In this review, we summarize the recent synthetic applications of photoredox catalysis in the total synthesis of natural products between 2016 and 2020.1 Introduction2 Intermolecular Additions from Functionalized Substrates2.1 Intermolecular Additions from Alkyl Halides2.2 Intermolecular Additions from Alcohols and Carboxylic Acids3 Cyclizations from Functionalized Substrates3.1 Cyclizations of Carbon-Centered Radicals3.2 Cyclizations of Nitrogen-Centered Radicals4 Intramolecular Cyclization from Non-functionalized N–H Bonds4.1 Type I Radical Cascade4.2 Type II Radical Cascade4.3 Type III Radical Cascade5 Functionalization of Imines and Enamines6 Cycloadditions7 Miscellaneous7.1 Dehalogenation and Reductive Decarboxylation7.2 Thiyl Radical Promoted Cascade8 Conclusions and Perspectives
