Abstract

C34-epi and C34-epi-C35-trifluoro analogues of solamin, a mono-THF annonaceous acetogenin, were synthesized. Their inhibitory activity, along with previously synthesized analogues (C35-fluoro, C35-difluoro, and C35-trifluorosolamins), against bovine mitochondrial NADH–ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) was determined. The present study revealed that the methyl group on the γ-lactone moiety is critical to the potent inhibition of complex I by natural acetogenins.
