Abstract
Kynapcin-12 is a prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) inhibitor isolated from Polyozellus multiplex, and its structure was assigned as 1 having a p-hydroquinone moiety by spectroscopic analyses and chemical means. This Letter describes the total syntheses of the proposed structure 1 for kynapcin-12 and 2′,3′-diacetoxy-1,5′,6′,4″-tetrahydroxy-p-terphenyl 2 isolated from Boletopsis grisea, revising the structure of kynapcin-12 to the latter. These syntheses involved double Suzuki–Miyaura coupling, CAN oxidation, and LTA oxidation as key steps. The inhibitory activities of synthetic compounds against POP and cancer cells were also evaluated.
