Abstract
During the past decade an increasing number of meroterpenoids have emerged from marine organism that became the main source for interesting, biologically active natural products. Five compounds, dysiherbols A-E, were isolated from marine sponges of genus Dysidea and shown to exhibit cytotoxicity, NF-κB inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activities. Their structures were proposed to display a tetracyclic 6/6/5/6 carbon skeleton with five adjacent stereocenters. This work comprises the first enantioselective total synthesis of dysiherbol A together with the revision of its absolute configuration and its constitution, that was proven to be pentacyclic. Dysiherbol A was synthesized over 12 steps via an enantioselective Cu-catalyzed 1,4-addition/ enolate trapping as asymmetric opening step and a gold-catalyzed twofold cyclization as key step to construct the tetracyclic carbon skeleton. In the final step an acidic-mediated deprotection/ cyclopropane opening occurred under oxy-cyclization to deliver the pentacyclic target molecule. Comparison of both synthesized enantiomers in biological studies revealed naturally occurring (+)-dysiherbol A to show superior apoptosis-inducing potency in lymphoma and leukemia cell lines, even overcoming resistances to conventional cytostatics. Thus, this work highlights the role of total synthesis for structural elucidation and pharmacological investigation. Furthermore, contributions to the enantioselective total syntheses of dysiherbol B, C and E are reported from common intermediates. (+)-Dysiherbol E was synthesized via carbonylative cross coupling, proton-induced formation of the ether bridge and final ozonolysis. Moreover, the gold-catalyzed twofold cyclization was further investigated, and the observations support the proposed mechanism via an allylic cation intermediate.
