Abstract
This study describes the first and efficient syntheses of naturally occurring ugonins L (1a), S (2a, 2b), U (3), and Z (4). Naturally occurring ugonin S has two stereoisomers. On the basis of their NMR and specific rotation data, the absolute configuration of trans-ugonin L (1a) was determined as 10R,11R, while the absolute configurations of trans-ugonin S (2a) and cis-ugonin S (2b) were determined to be 10R,11R and 10R,11S, respectively. The naturally occurring cis-ugonin U (3) presented the 10S,11R configuration. The naturally occurring cis-ugonin Z (4) was suggested to have a 10S,11R configuration. Four isomers of compound 2 and two isomers of compound 3 showed moderate cytotoxic activities against the CEM and H460 human cancer cell lines.
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.
