Abstract

The first syntheses of the Phomopsis-isolated natural products phochrodines A-C are reported. Functional group manipulations on a key 5H-chromeno[4,3-b]pyridine intermediate, itself synthesized from intramolecular Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, enabled facile and high-yielding syntheses of all three natural products. Additionally, sufficient material was generated to enable detailed pharmacological profiling of each compound. Preliminary drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) experiments and ancillary pharmacology screening revealed phochrodine C (3) as an attractive scaffold for further modification, particularly for medicinal chemists working in the antidepressant space.

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.
