Triterpene glycosides from the sea cucumber Eupentacta fraudatrix. Structure and biological action of cucumariosides A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, A12 and A15, seven new minor non-sulfated tetraosides and unprecedented 25-keto, 27-norholostane aglycone

Seven new minor triterpene glycosides, cucumariosides A1 (1), A3 (2), A4 (3), A5 (4), A6 (5), A12 (6) and A15 (7) have been isolated from the Far Eastern sea cucumber Eupentacta fraudatrix. Structures of the glycosides were elucidated by 2D NMR spectroscopy and MS. Glycosides 1-7 belong to the group of cucumariosides A, having linear tetrasaccharide carbohydrate moieties without any sulfate group and possessing 3-O-methyl-D-xylose as a terminal monosaccharide unit. The latter peculiarity is rare in sea cucumber glycosides, but typical for the glycosides from E. fraudatrix. Glycosides 1-7 differ from each other by side chain structures in the aglycone moieties; three of them have unique structural features. The first is the presence of a 25-butoxy-group in the side chain of cucumarioside A3 (2), the second is a 23E,25-diene system in cucumarioside A6 (5) and the third is a 25-keto-27-nor-holostane aglycone in cucumarioside A12 (6); these were never previously found in sea cucumber glycosides. Cytotoxic activity of glycosides 1-7 against mouse spleen lymphocytes and the cells of the ascite form of mouse Ehrlich carcinoma, along with hemolytic activity against mouse erythrocytes and antifungal activity were studied. Glycosides 1 and 5 were the most active in all the tests.     

Triterpene glycosides from the sea cucumber Eupentacta fraudatrix. Structure and cytotoxic action of cucumariosides A2, A7, A9, A10, an, A13 and A14, seven new minor non-sulfated tetraosides and an aglycone with an uncommon 18-hydroxy group

Seven new minor triterpene glycosides, cucumariosides A2 (1), A7 (2), A9 (3), A10 (4), A11 (5), A13 (6) and A14 (7) have been isolated from the Far Eastern sea cucumber Eupentacta fraudatrix. Structures of the glycosides were elucidated by 2D NMR spectroscopy and MS. Glycosides 1-7 belong to the group of cucumariosides A, having linear tetrasaccharide carbohydrate moieties without any sulfate group and possessing 3-O-methyl-D-xylose as a terminal monosaccharide unit. Glycosides 1, 2, 5-7 differ from each other in side chain structures in aglycone moieties, while cucumarioside A10 (4) has a 23,24,25,26,27-pentanorlanostane aglycone with 18(16)-lactone. Cucumarioside A9 (3), having an uncommon 18-hydroxy group, is the second representative of the unique metabolically active glycosides that are regarded as intermediates of glycoside biosynthesis in sea cucumbers. Cytotoxic activities of glycosides 1-7 and cucumarioside A8 (8) against mouse spleen lymphocytes and the cells of the ascite form of mouse Ehrlich carcinoma, along with hemolytic activity against mouse erythrocytes and antifungal activity were studied. Cucumariosides A2 (1), A8 (8) and A13 (6) demonstrated high hemolytic activities. Glycosides 1, 4 and 6 showed moderate cytotoxic activity. Only cucumarioside A8 (8), having an 18-oxymethylene group and a 24(25)-double bond, was very active in all the tests.     

A divergent synthesis of functionalized unsaturated delta-lactones from alpha-alkenoyl-alpha-carboxyl ketene dithioacetals

A divergent synthesis of functionalized unsaturated delta-lactones 2, 3, 4, and 5 has been developed starting from the readily available alpha-alkenoyl-alpha-carboxyl ketene dithioacetals 1 in high to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Thus, 6-substituted 3-(1,3-dithiolan/dithian-2-ylidene)-3H-pyran-2(6H)-ones 2, obtained from a consecutive reduction with NaBH4 and acidic workup of 1 via a novel vinylogous Pummerer cyclization, can be further transformed into alpha-pyranones 3, 4, and 5 upon a sequential isomerization catalyzed by triethylamine (to give 3), followed by dethioacetalization (to give 4) or a formylation with Vilsmeier reagent (to give 5).     

A simple oxidation of formycin to oxoformycin and oxoformycin B. Synthesis of 6-methyloxoformycin,A C-nucleoside analog of doridosine

A simple, high-yield procedure has now been developed for the direct oxidation of formycin to oxoformycin and oxoformycin B. Treatment of formycin (1) with bromine/water provided oxoformycin (8) . A similar treatment of formycin B (4) gave oxoformycin B (6) . Upon prolonged exposure of either 1 or 8 to bromine/water at reflux temperature, conversion to 6 occurred in good yield. Application of this procedure to 1-methylformycin (2) , 1-methylformycin B (5) and 2-methylformycin (17) gave 1-methyloxoformycin (9) , 1-methyloxoformycin B (7) and 2-methyloxoformycin (18) , respectively. Deamination of 8 and 9 with nitrosyl chloride also gave 6 and 7 , respectively. This selective oxidation of 6-methylformycin gave 7-amino-6-methyl-3-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5(4H)-one (10) , a C-nucleoside analog of doridosine. A similar oxidation of 1,6-dimethylformycin B (11) gave 1,6-dimethyloxoformycin B (12) . This direct introduction of the 5-oxo function into the pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine ring appears to be due to the attack of Br⁺ at N(4), followed by the addition of water to C(5) and subsequent elimination of hydrogen bromide from the transient intermediate 3 .     

Chemistry of metal-bound anion radicals. A family of mono- and bis(azopyridine) chelates of bivalent ruthenium

The reaction of the dihydride [RuII(H)2(CO)(PPh3)3], 3, with excess azo-2,2'-bipyridine (abp) in boiling dry benzene has afforded the diradical bischelate [RuII(abp.-)2(CO)(PPh3)], 4, and the hydridic monochelate monoradical [RuII(abp.-)(H)(CO)(PPh3)2], 5. A similar reaction between 3 and 2-(p-chlorophenylazo)pyridine (Clpap) did not yield a bischelate, but the hydridic monoradical [RuII(Clpap.-)(H)(CO)(PPh3)2], 6, has been isolated. Upon treatment of 4-6 with NH4PF6 in a wet dichloromethane-acetonitrile medium, the one-electron-oxidized salts 4+PF6-, 5+PF6-, and 6+PF6- are isolated, H+ being the oxidizing agent. The X-ray structures of 4+PF6-.CH2Cl2, 5+PF6-.H2O, and 6+PF6- have been determined. In the monoradical 4+ the azo N-N bond lengths in the two chelate rings are 1.284(6) and 1.336(6) A, showing that the radical electron is localized in the latter ring. The half-filled extended Hückel HOMO is indeed found to be so localized, and it has a large azo character. Complexes 4-6 display radical redox couples with E1/2 in the range -0.5 to +0.10 V vs SCE. The E1/2 values qualitatively correlate with corresponding vco values (1900-2000 cm-1). The monoradicals (S = 1/2) 4+, 5, and 6 uniformly display a strong EPR signal near g = 2.00. Metal-mediated magnetic interaction makes the EPR-silent diradical 4 strongly antiferromagnetic with J = -299 cm-1. Crystal data are as follows: (4+PF6-.CH2Cl2, C40H33Cl2F6N8-OP2Ru) monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c (no. 14), a = 14.174(6) A, b = 16.451(4) A, c = 18.381(4) A, beta = 98.00(3) degrees, Z = 4; (5+PF6-.H2O, C47H41F6N4O2P3Ru) monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n (no. 14), a = 9.433(2) A, b = 38.914(17) A, c = 13.084(3) A, beta = 103.47(2) degrees, Z = 4; (6+PF6-, C48H39ClF6N3OP3Ru) monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n (no. 14), a = 10.496(5) A, b = 22.389(8) A, c = 19.720(6) A, beta = 90.53(3) degrees, Z = 4.     

A new, non-iterative asymmetric synthesis of long-chain 1,3-polyols

A new approach to the asymmetric synthesis of pentadeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15-octols and their derivatives is presented. It is based on the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of 4,4'-methylene[(1R,1'S,6R,6'S)-6-acetoxycyclohept-3-en-1-yl]bis(4-methoxybenzoate) (9), derived from a double [3+4] cycloaddition of the 1,1,3-trichloro-2-oxyallyl cation with 2,2'-methylenedifuran (1). The diol (-)-10, obtained in 98.4% ee from 9 with "AD-mix-beta(5x), was oxidised into (2R and 2S,4S,6R)-tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-6-((4S,6S)-(6-hydroxy-4-[(4-methoxybenzoyl)oxy]cyclohept-1-en-1-yl)-2-oxopropyl)-2H-pyran-4-yl 4-methoxybenzoates ((-)-18). By the combinations of Evans' anti and Nasaraka's syn reductions of aldol (-)-18 with the double Mitsunobu reaction, 16 diastereomeric pentadeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15-octols and analogues can be obtained, in principle, with high enantio- and diastereoselectivities.     

Microbial metabolism part 9. Structure and antioxidant significance of the metabolites of 5,7-dihydroxyflavone (chrysin), and 5- and 6-hydroxyflavones

5,7-Dihydroxyflavone (chrysin) (1) when fermented with fungal cultures, Aspergillus alliaceous (ATCC 10060), Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 13144) and Absidia glauco (ATCC 22752) gave mainly 4'-hydroxychrysin (4), chrysin 7-O-beta-D-4-O-methylglucopyranoside (5) and chrysin 7-sulfate (6), respectively. Mucore ramannianus (ATCC 9628), however, transformed chrysin into six metabolites: 4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxychrysin (chrysoeriol) (7), 4'-hydroxychrysin (apigenin) (4) 3',4'-dihydroxychrysin (luteolin) (8), 3'-methoxychrysin 4'-O-alpha-D-6-deoxyallopyranoside (9), chrysin 4'-O-alpha-D-6-deoxyallopyranoside (10), and luteolin 3'-sulfate (11). Cultures of A. alliaceous (ATCC 10060) and B. bassiana (ATCC 13144) metabolized 5-hydroxyflavone (2) into 5,4'-dihydroxyflavone (12) and 4'-hydroxyflavone 5-O-beta-D-4-O-methylglucopyranoside (13), respectively. 6-Hydroxyflavone (3) was transformed into 6-hydroxyflavanone (14), flavone 3-O-beta-D-4-O-methylglucopyranoside (15) and (+/-)-flavanone 6-O-beta-D-4-O-methylglucopyranoside (16) by cultures of Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 13144). The structures of the metabolic products were elucidated by means of spectroscopic data. The significance of the metabolites as antioxidants in relation to their structure is briefly discussed.     

Total synthesis of piericidin A1 and B1 and key analogues

Full details of the total synthesis of piericidin A1 and B1 and its extension to the preparation of a series of key analogues are described including ent-piericidin A1 (ent-1), 4'-deshydroxypiericidin A1 (58), 5'-desmethylpiericidin A1 (73), 4'-deshydroxy-5'-desmethylpiericidin A1 (75), and the corresponding analogues 51, 59, 76, and 77 bearing a simplified farnesyl side chain. The evaluation of these key analogues, along with those derived from their further functionalizations, permitted a scan of the key structural features providing new insights into the role of the substituents found in both the pyridyl core as well as the side chain. A strategic late stage heterobenzylic Stille cross-coupling reaction of the pyridyl core with the fully elaborated side chain permitted ready access to the analogues in which each half of the molecule could be systematically and divergently modified. The pyridyl cores were assembled enlisting inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions of N-sulfonyl-1-azabutadienes, while key elements of side chain syntheses include an anti selective asymmetric aldol to install the C9 and C10 relative and absolute stereochemistry (for natural and ent-1) and a modified Julia olefination for formation of the C5-C6 trans double bond with convergent assemblage of the side chains.

Their structures and relative stereochemistry were elucidated by 1D, 2D NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques. Compound 1 showed cytotoxicity against A-549 and BEL-7402 cell lines.     

Control of structures and sorption properties of ionic crystals of A2[Cr3O(OOCC2H5)6(H2O)3]2[alpha-SiW12O40] (A = Na, K, Rb, NH4, Cs, TMA)

The complexation of Keggin-type polyoxometalate [alpha-SiW 12O 40] (4-), macrocation [Cr 3O(OOCC 2H 5) 6(H 2O) 3] (+), and monovalent cation A (+) forms ionic crystals of A 2[Cr 3O(OOCC 2H 5) 6(H 2O) 3] 2[alpha-SiW 12O 40]. nH 2O [A = Na ( 1a), K ( 2a), Rb ( 3a), NH 4 ( 4a), Cs ( 5a), and tetramethylammonium (TMA) ( 6a)]. Single crystal (1a- 4a and 6a) and powder (5a) X-ray analyses have shown that the ionic crystals possess 2D layers of polyoxometalates and macrocations. Compounds 2a- 5a had almost the same structure, while the layers in 1a and 6a stack in different ways. The structures and sorption properties of 2b- 5b are investigated in more detail. The interlayer distances of guest free phases 2b- 5b increase with the increase in the ionic radii of the monovalent cations, which reside between the layers. Compounds 2b- 5b possess hydrophobic and hydrophilic channels, which exist between the layers and through the layers, respectively. The volumes of the hydrophobic channels increase in the order of 2b < 3b approximately 4b < 5b, and those of the hydrophilic channels increase in the order of 2b < or = 3b < or = 4b < 5b. Single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of 2a- 4a have shown that the water of crystallization resides in the hydrophilic channel. It is probable that the water of crystallization in 5a resides in the hydrophilic channel in the same manner as those in 2a- 4a since 2a- 5a have almost the same structure. The water vapor sorption profiles of 2b- 5b are approximately reproduced by a linear driving force model. Therefore, water molecules sorbed in 2b- 5b probably reside in the hydrophilic channel. The n-propanol sorption profiles are reproduced by the summation of the linear driving force model, showing that two independent barriers exist in the n-propanol sorption. The in situ IR spectra of n-propanol sorbed showed the presence of two n-propanol species. These data show that n-propanol is sorbed into both hydrophilic and hydrophobic channels. Compound 5b sorbs halocarbons in the hydrophobic channel, while 2b- 4b exclude them.
