Abstract
Artapilosines A and B, isolated from Artabotrys pilosus, demonstrated significant anti-HIV reverse transcriptase activity. In this work, we present the first asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-artapilosine A and of its enantiomer (+)-artapilosine A, achieved in 10 steps with overall yields of 0.9% and 0.7%, respectively, starting from commercially available piperonylic acid. The key step in this synthesis involved a pivotal photocyclization reaction, providing an efficient protocol for constructing the phenanthrene ring system common to many natural products. Additionally, using the same photocyclization strategy, we successfully synthesized artapilosine B in 10 steps with an overall yield of 2.1%.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
