Abstract
The access to 1,2- and 1,1,2-substituted trans cyclopentanes via a sequential hydrozirconation/TMSOTf-mediated cyclization applied to 5-methoxypent-1-enes is presented. Involving a transient carbocation, the reaction was shown to be diastereo-convergent. Possibly performed in a nonracemic version, the reaction proved compatible with a range of functional groups affording a large panel of cyclopentanes.

Abstract
A study of BLM A5 was conducted using a previously isolated library of hairpin DNAs found to bind strongly to metal-free BLM. The ability of Fe(II)·BLM to affect cleavage on both the 3' and 5' arms of the hairpin DNAs was characterized. The strongly bound DNAs were found to be efficient substrates for Fe·BLM A5-mediated hairpin DNA cleavage. Surprisingly, the most prevalent site of BLM-mediated cleavage was found to be the 5'-AT-3' dinucleotide sequence. This dinucleotide sequence and other sequences generally not cleaved well by BLM when examined using arbitrarily chosen DNA substrates were apparent when examining the library of 10 hairpin DNAs. In total, 132 sites of DNA cleavage were produced by exposure of the hairpin DNA library to Fe·BLM A5. The existence of multiple sites of cleavage on both the 3' and 5' arms of the hairpin DNAs suggested that some of these might be double-strand cleavage events. Accordingly, an assay was developed to test the propensity of the hairpin DNAs to undergo double-strand DNA damage. One hairpin DNA was characterized using this method and gave results consistent with earlier reports of double-strand DNA cleavage but with a sequence selectivity that was different from those reported previously.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide. As a consequence, many different therapeutic approaches, including the use of glycosides as anticancer agents, have been developed. Various glycosylated natural products exhibit high activity against a variety of microbes and human tumors. In this review we classify glycosides according to the nature of their aglycone (non-saccharidic) part. Among them, we describe anthracyclines, aureolic acids, enediyne antibiotics, macrolide and glycopeptides presenting different strengths and mechanisms of action against human cancers. In some cases, the glycosidic residue is crucial for their activity, such as in anthracycline, aureolic acid and enediyne antibiotics; in other cases, Nature has exploited glycosylation to improve solubility or pharmacokinetic properties, as in the glycopeptides. In this review we focus our attention on natural glycoconjugates with anticancer properties. The structure of several of the carbohydrate moieties found in these conjugates and their role are described. The structure–activity relationship of some of these compounds, together with the structural features of their interaction with the biological targets, are also reported. Taken together, all this information is useful for the design of new potential anti-tumor drugs.

Abstract
The bleomycins (BLMs) are clinically used glycopeptide antitumor antibiotics that have been shown to mediate the sequence-selective oxidative damage of both DNA and RNA. Previously, we described the solid-phase synthesis of a library of 108 unique analogues of deglycoBLM A6, a congener that cleaves DNA analogously to BLM itself. Each member of the library was assayed for its ability to effect single- and double-strand nicking of duplex DNA, sequence-selective DNA cleavage, and RNA cleavage in the presence and absence of a metal ion cofactor. All of the analogues tested were found to mediate concentration-dependent plasmid DNA relaxation to some extent, and a number exhibited double-strand cleavage with an efficiency comparable to or greater than deglycoBLM A6. Further, some analogues having altered linker and metal-binding domains mediated altered sequence-selective cleavage, and a few were found to cleave a tRNA3Lys transcript both in the presence and in the absence of a metal cofactor. The results provide insights into structural elements within BLM that control DNA and RNA cleavage. The present study also permits inferences to be drawn regarding the practicality of a selection strategy for the solid-phase construction and evaluation of large libraries of BLM analogues having altered properties.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] A diversity-oriented protocol has been developed for the assembly of densely hydroxylated cycloheptane amino acids via succession of a vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction (VMAR), a Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction (MBHR), and an intramolecular pinacol coupling reaction (IPCR). The plan utilizes D- or L-configured glyceraldehyde derivatives as "chiral" surrogates of glyoxal and N-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]pyrrole as the synthetic equivalent of the alpha,gamma-dianion of gamma-aminobutanoic acid. The parallel, asymmetric syntheses of four cycloheptane representatives proceed with high diastereocontrol and virtually complete enantioselectivity in ten steps and overall yields of 15-37%.

Abstract
Deglycobleomycin binds to and degrades the self-complementary oligonucleotide d(CGCTAGCG)(2) in a sequence selective fashion. A previous modeling study [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120, (1998), 7450] had shown that, during binding to double stranded DNA, the conformation of the methylvalerate domain of deglycoBLM approximated that of S-proline. In the belief that an analogue of deglycoBLM structurally constrained to mimic the DNA-bound conformation might exhibit facilitated DNA binding and cleavage, an analogue of deglycoBLM was prepared in which the methylvalerate moiety was replaced by S-proline. This deglycoBLM analogue, as well as the related analogue containing R-proline, was synthesized on a TentaGel resin. Both of the analogues were found to be capable of binding Fe(2+) and activating O(2) for transfer to styrene. However, both deglycoBLM analogues exhibited diminished abilities to effect the relaxation of supercoiled plasmid DNA, and neither mediated sequence selective DNA cleavage.
