Synthesis of lamellarin R, lukianol A, lamellarin O and their analogues

Three lamellarin alkaloids type III (lamellarin R, lukianol A and lamellarin O) were synthesized using the Barton–Zard reaction as a key step to construct the central pyrrole core. Some of their corresponding 4-benzoyl and 5-phenyl substituted pyrrole analogues were also prepared via an initial three-component reaction of glycine methyl ester, benzaldehyde, and chalcone to generate the pyrrolidine scaffold, and followed by DDQ oxidation and N-alkylation.

Application of differential reactivity towards synthesis of lamellarin and 8-oxoprotoberberine derivatives: Study of photochemical properties of aryl-substituted benzofuran-8-oxoprotoberberines

A unique differential reactivity between dihydroisoquinolines and 3-nitrocoumarins was observed and was exploited for the efficient construction of lamellarins and their isomeric benzofuran-8-oxoprotoberberine derivatives under acid-catalyzed or base-promoted conditions. Further, these prepared aryl-substituted benzofuran-8-oxoprotoberberine derivatives bearing electron-donating substituents on benzofuran moiety are found to be benchtop stable but light-sensitive, and can undergo oxidative ring-opening reaction to give the corresponding keto products when exposed to visible light under aerobic conditions.

Synthesis of Lamellarin D Trimethyl Ether and Lamellarin H via 6π-Electrocyclization.

An electrocyclic ring closure of a 2-azapentadienyl anion generated in situ from a chalcone and glycine ester is the key step of an efficient synthesis of the pyrrole core of the lamellarin alkaloids. A recently developed scalable one-pot procedure provides multigram quantities of a 3,5-diaryl-4-iodopyrrole-2-carboxylate intermediate which is transformed in four further high-yielding operations including a one-pot Pomeranz-Fritsch alkylation/cyclization and an Ullmann-type lactone ring closure into the pentacyclic lamellarin skeleton.

AbstractThe title reaction is used as the key step in the synthesis of lamellarins C and I (VII).

A High‐Yielding Modular Access to the Lamellarins: Synthesis of Lamellarin G Trimethyl Ether, Lamellarin η and Dihydrolamellarin η

A deprotonated α-aminonitrile serves as a key intermediate in a highly efficient (95 % per step on average; see scheme) modular synthetic approach to the lamellarin alkaloids. Its reaction with an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde forms the central pyrrole ring in a one-pot procedure. The construction of the fused pentacyclic skeleton is completed by a microwave-assisted Ullmann-type lactone formation.

Design and Synthesis of Lamellarin D Analogues Targeting Topoisomerase I

A general synthetic route to rationally designed lamellarin D analogues, 1-dearyllamellarin D (1) and 1-substituted 1-dearyllamellarin D (2), has been developed. The key pentacyclic intermediate 22 was prepared by palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of 12, which in turn was synthesized via C-2-selective lithiation of 15 followed by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling as the key reactions. Compound 22 was converted to a wide range of C-1-substituted analogues 2 via regioselective electrophilic substitution and palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.

Lamellarin D Bioconjugates II: Synthesis and Cellular Internalization of Dendrimer and Nuclear Location Signal Derivatives

The design and synthesis of Lamellarin D conjugates with a nuclear localization signal peptide and a poly(ethylene glycol)-based dendrimer are described. Conjugates 1-4 were obtained in 8-84% overall yields from the corresponding protected Lamellarin D. Conjugates 1 and 4 are 1.4- to 3.3-fold more cytotoxic than the parent compound against three human tumor cell lines (MDA-MB-231 breast, A-549 lung, and HT-29 colon). Besides, conjugates 3 and 4 showed a decrease in activity potency in BJ skin fibroblasts, a normal cell culture. Cellular internalization was analyzed, and a nuclear distribution pattern was observed for 4, which contains a nuclear localization signaling sequence.

The application of vinylogous iminium salt derivatives to efficient formal syntheses of the marine alkaloids lamellarin G trimethyl ether and ningalin B

Studies directed at the synthesis of lamellarin G trimethyl ether and ningalin B via vinylogous iminium salt derivatives are described. The successful strategy relies on the formation of a 2,4-disubstituted pyrrole or a 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted pyrrole from a vinylogous iminium salt or vinylogous iminium salt derivative. Subsequent transformations of these highly substituted pyrroles lead to efficient and regiocontrolled formal syntheses of the respective pyrrole containing natural products.

Synthesis of Lamellarin U and Lamellarin G Trimethyl Ether by Alkylation of a Deprotonated α-Aminonitrile

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carbonitriles can serve as starting materials for the one-pot synthesis of 5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1 a]isoquinolines and 1-benzyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines. The latter compounds were transformed to lamellarin G trimethyl ether and lamellarin U in short reaction sequences. This method allows the introduction of acid-sensitive protecting groups for the phenolic hydroxy functions which would be cleaved under the harsh conditions of the classical Bischler-Napieralski reaction.
