Total synthesis of bryostatins: the development of methodology for the atom-economic and stereoselective synthesis of the ring C subunit

Bryostatins, a family of structurally complicated macrolides, exhibit an exceptional range of biological activities. The limited availability and structural complexity of these molecules makes development of an efficient total synthesis particularly important. This article describes our initial efforts towards the total synthesis of bryostatins, in which chemoselective and atom-economical methods for the stereoselective assembly of the ring C subunit were developed. A Pd-catalyzed tandem alkyne-alkyne coupling/6-endo-dig cyclization sequence was explored and successfully pursued in the synthesis of a dihydropyran ring system. Elaboration of this methodology ultimately led to a concise synthesis of the ring C subunit of bryostatins.     

Temperature-dependent separation of bryostatin 18 and 10 by high performance liquid chromatography

Summary The temperature-dependent separation of bryostatins by HPLC was examined on an octadecyl bonded stationary phase, using column temperatures between 0 and 40°C and mobile phase temperatures from 0 to 25°C. The retention time and resolution of bryostatins changed drastically and separation improved with decreasing temperature. A column temperature of less than 5°C and a mobile phase temperature of less than 15°C is recommended for a good resolution of bryostatins for routine work.

Marine Natural Products as Lead Compound for New Drug Discovery

The study of natural product has long been motivated by a quest for some benefit to man, the discover. Recent years have witnessed growing attention to the isolation, identification and synthesis of the marine natural. Although marine organisms do not have a long history of medicine applications like terrestrial plants, some marine organisms have left an extensive record of hazard to mankind. The isolation and identification of saxtoxin, tetradotoxin and lyngbyatoxin resulted from such reported. The marine biosphere has long held great promise as source of anticancer compounds, while a number of screening efforts has indicated a much higher percentage of antineplastic and antitumor activity than terrestrial plants. Several marine natural products have made their appearance in clinical trials at the National Cancer Institute, such as the didemnis, , bryostatins, This finds marine invertebratehave reinvigorated interest and effort in anticancer agent from marine invertebrate.     

Synthesis of vinylic iodides for incorporation into the C17-C27 fragment of bryostatins

Vinylic iodides were identified as useful intermediates for the synthesis of the C17-C27 fragment of the bryostatins with control of the geometry of the exocyclic methoxycarbonylmethylene group. Following literature precedent, the Piers (E)-stereoselective addition of tributyltin hydride to an alkynoate followed by ester reduction and tin-iodine exchange gave vinylic iodides that could be used to form the C20-C21 bond of the bryostatins. Chelation controlled addition of lithiated 3-silyloxypropynes to 2-alkoxyaldehydes followed by reductive iodination was used to prepare vinylic iodides that could be used in the complementary assembly of the C21-C22 bond of the bryostatins. Initial studies of the synthesis of intermediates for metathesis studies using metal catalysed reactions of a vinylic iodide for C21-C22 bond formation were complicated by cyclisation reactions.     

Synthesis of 8‐Desmethoxy Psymberin: A Putative Biosynthetic Intermediate Towards the Marine Polyketide Psymberin

The synthesis of a putative biosynthetic precursor of psymberin including a formal synthesis of the natural product is described. The key step towards the densely functionalized tetrahydropyran core was an enantioselective catalytic Mukaiyama aldol reaction using a titanium(IV)–BINOL catalyst system. syn‐Selective reduction followed by ozonolysis led to a rapid assembly of the tetrahydropyran ring. This flexible approach also allows the synthesis of similar fragments of other complex molecules such as bryostatins and pederins. The syn‐selective coupling between the tetrahydropyran and the aromatic aldehyde was achieved using a boron‐mediated aldol reaction which was followed by further transformations to complete the synthesis of the precursor as well as the formal synthesis of the natural product.     

High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Separation of Bryostatins 1–12

Abstract

A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-8; acetonitrile-water gradient) separation procedure was developed for detecting bryostatins 1–12, using a photodiode array detector system. While bryostatins 6 and 9 were found to co-elute they were easily separated using a silica gel column with 9:1 n-hexane-n-propanol as eluent.

Scientific methods applied to the study of art objects

Scientific methods applied to the study of works of art are varied (examination, analysis and dating) and must be chosen with care in accordance with the object of the research. This paper briefly sets out the state of the art highlighting the development and applications of non-destructive methods. Such methods come under either the use of electromagnetic or particle radiation for the formation of images based on shape, development technique, or, on the other hand, the quantitative determination of elements down to and including their traces, isotopes or microsurfaces for the purpose of identifying the matter, its date, origin and development.

Atom-economic and stereoselective syntheses of the ring a and B subunits of the bryostatins

This article describes chemoselective and atom-economic methods for the stereoselective assembly of the ring A and B subunits of bryostatins. A Ru-catalyzed tandem alkene-alkyne coupling/Michael addition reaction was developed and applied to the synthesis of bryostatin ring B. We explored an acetylide-mediated epoxide-opening/6-exo-dig cyclization route to access the bryostatin ring A, although ring A was eventually furnished through an acid-catalyzed tandem transketalization/ketalization sequence. In addition, a dinuclear zinc-catalyzed methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) aldol strategy was evaluated for the construction of the polyacetate moiety. Utilization of these methods ultimately led to the rapid assembly of the northern bryostatin fragment containing both the ring A and B subunits.
