Stylissadines A and B: the first tetrameric pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids

[reaction: see text] Pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids are widely distributed in marine sponges of the orders Halichondrida and Agelasida. Chemical investigation of the Caribbean sponge Stylissa caribica led to the isolation of the first tetrameric pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids. The so-called stylissadines are the largest and most complex pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids discovered so far and are therefore a major challenge for the structure determination by NMR spectroscopy. Their isolation and structure elucidation are discussed in detail.     

Facile synthesis of the trans-fused azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane core of the palau'amines and the tricyclic core of the axinellamines from a common intermediate

A facile synthesis of the trans-fused azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane core of palau'amine and related pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids is described. Following gamma-lactam cleavage with concomitant epimerization at C12 of a previously reported tricycle, a facile intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction delivered the fully functionalized tricyclic core common to several members of the oroidin-derived alkaloids including palau'amine. An alternative cyclization of a related intermediate provides the tricyclic "aza-angular triquinane" core of the axinellamines.     

Stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-axino- and (Z)-debromoaxinohydantoin

(Z)-Axinohydantoin and (Z)-debromoaxinohydantoin, two pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids isolated from different marine sponges, possess moderate activities in inhibiting the progress of the cell cycle at different phases. A stereoselective synthesis of both natural products was achieved. The key step in the synthetic pathway was the installation of the hydantoin northern ring by using 1-benzoyl-2-methylsulfanyl-1,5-dihydroimidazol-4-one.     

Enantioselective total syntheses of (-)-palau'amine, (-)-axinellamines, and (-)-massadines

Dimeric pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids represent a rich and topologically unique class of marine natural products. This full account will follow the progression of efforts that culminated in the enantioselective total syntheses of the most structurally ornate members of this family: the axinellamines, the massadines, and palau'amine. A bio-inspired approach capitalizing on the pseudo-symmetry of the members of this class is recounted, delivering a deschloro derivative of the natural product core. Next, the enantioselective synthesis of the chlorocyclopentane core featuring a scalable, catalytic, enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of a 1-siloxydiene is outlined in detail. Finally, the successful divergent conversion of this core to each of the aforementioned natural products, and the ensuing methodological developments, are described.     

Natural products, stylissadines A and B, specific antagonists of the P2X7 receptor, an important inflammatory target

The distribution of the P2X7 receptor in inflammatory cells suggests that P2X7 antagonists have a significant role to play in the treatment of inflammatory disease. We conducted a natural product high-throughput screening campaign to discover P2X7 receptor antagonists. The Australian marine sponge Stylissa flabellata yielded two new bisimidazo-pyrano-imidazole bromopyrrole ether alkaloids, stylissadines A (IC50 0.7 microM) and B (IC50 1.8 microM), as the specific bioactive constituents. The compounds inhibit BzATP-mediated pore formation in THP-1 cells. Also present in this extract was considerable nonspecific bioactivity in the hemeolysin specificity assay. A new pyrrole-imidazole alkaloid, konbu'acidin B, and the known pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids 4,5-dibromopalau'amine and massadine were also isolated and had nonspecific activity. ROESY and proton coupling constant data indicated that the stereochemistry at C12, C17, and C20 in 4,5-dibromopalau'amine should be revised to 12R, 17S, 20S. By analogy, the relative stereochemistry of palau'amine, 4-bromopalau'amine, styloguanidine, 3-bromostyloguanidine, and 2,3-dibromostyloguanidine should also be revised to 12R, 17S, 20S. Stylissadines A and B are the most potent natural product P2X7 antagonists to be isolated to date and provide a novel class of P2X7 receptor inhibitors. They are also the first examples of tetrameric pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids.     

Total synthesis of (±)-cyclooroidin

The first total synthesis of (±)-cyclooroidin, a member of the pyrrole-imidazole alkaloid family recently isolated from the sponge Agelas oroides in optically pure form, is described. The synthesis was achieved in nine linear steps, with an overall yield of 10%. Key step was a Wolff bromoketone synthesis performed on the intermediate longamide B.     

Asymmetric total synthesis of ent-cyclooroidin

An enantiospecific total synthesis of the pyrrole-imidazole natural product cyclooroidin from histidine is described. The key N1-C9 bond is constructed through an intramolecular SN2-type of reaction of a chloro ester. Subsequent imidazole azidation at the 2-position, pyrrole bromination, azide reduction, and deprotection leads to the completion of the synthesis.     

Decomposition of oroidin in DMSO/TFA

Oxidative cyclization of the pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids oroidin and sventrin in DMSO/TFA (1:1) yields oxazolines via nucleophilic attack of the carbonyl oxygen at the alkenyl double bond. Oxidation takes place in the benzylic position of the imidazole ring. On prolonged reaction times, the oxazoline ring is hydrolyzed yielding the corresponding ester of pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid containing a free amino group. Overall, the double bond of oroidin is dioxygenated.     

Towards the synthesis of massadine: a unified strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of the carbocyclic C,D-ring subunit

Massadine is a hexacyclic marine natural product, which belongs to the family of pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids. Herein, we describe a unified approach to the C,D-ring subunit of this sponge metabolite based on the exploitation of a norbornene scaffold for the stereocontrolled construction of massadine's carbon skeleton. Highlights of the sequence presented include the application of a stereospecific norbornyl rearrangement for facile introduction of an oxygen at the C7-position within the norbornene nucleus, a highly regioselective and end group differentiating ozonolytic scission of a C-C double bond, and an oxidative decarboxylation reaction for the installation of the hindered secondary C2-alcohol function. Furthermore, the iterative assembly of the two guanidine entities as well as the implementation of the spirocyclic junction between the C- and the D-rings are described. Collectively, these key transformations permit an entry to an appropriately functionalized carbon framework, which will serve as a starting point for our efforts toward the completion of the synthesis of massadine.     

Synthesis and reactivity of pelletierine-derived building blocks and pelletierine analogs

Lycopodium alkaloids are unique (and often impressive in terms of structures) polycyclic alkaloids that attract great interest from a biological point of view and that also provide ideal targets for total synthesis. Propylpiperidine units closely related to pelletierine are involved in the biosynthesis of these alkaloids. Therefore, stable pelletierine-like compounds, especially a (R)-phenylglycinol-based oxazolopiperidine analog, were prepared and their reactivity investigated. The compounds described in this work expand the tool-box of small building blocks in the piperidine series and pelletierine analogs and could be suitable for the synthesis of Lycopodium alkaloids following biosynthetically inspired strategies.
