Abstract
The synthesis of the A-B-cis,B-C-trans-annulated cyclohepta[e]hydrindane core of a gagunin E analogue is reported in detail. The tricarbocyclic scaffold was assembled starting from an easily accessible A ring building block by a (4 + 2)-cycloaddition for annulation of the B ring. A ring-closing metathesis served for construction of the seven-membered C ring. The angular methyl groups were attached by electrophilic cyclopropanation-ring opening. A library based on the most active lead compound was made accessible by esterification of the terpenols with commercially available acids. A transannular etherification reaction gave access to tetracyclic derivatives of the synthetic inhibitors. The members of the compound library of non-natural homoverrucosanoid-derived esters were examined as modulators of the membrane transporter proteins ABCB1 (P-gp), ABCG2 (BCRP), and ABCC1 (MRP1), which are involved in the formation of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer chemotherapy.
