Total synthesis of two potent anti-inflammatory macrolactones of the oxacyclododecindione type
An esterification/Friedel-Crafts-cyclization approach permitted the first successful synthetic entry into the oxacyclododecindione subclass of the dihydroxyphenylacetic acid lactone-type natural products. This route allowed the preparation of two highly active anti-inflammatory fungal secondary metabolites 14-deoxyoxacyclododecindione and 14-deoxy-4-dechlorooxacyclododecindione as well as their 14-desmethyl analogues.
A surprising switch in absolute configuration of anti-inflammatory macrolactones.
Oxacyclododecindione-type macrolactones exhibit highly potent anti-inflammatory activities even at nanomolar concentration. After the determination of the relative configuration of the stereocenters at C14 and C15 by total synthesis of 4-dechloro-14-deoxyoxacyclododecindione and 14-deoxyoxacyclododecindione, the absolute configuration has now been assigned by X-ray crystallography. Surprisingly, the absolute configuration is (14S,15R) which differs for C15 from that of the well-known derivatives of (S)-curvularin. The biological activities of both enantiomers of 14-deoxyoxacyclododecindione, obtained by racemic synthesis and optical resolution, were investigated and the ring conformation of…

Total synthesis and biological evaluation of seven new anti-inflammatory oxacyclododecindione-type macrolactones
Through variation of our previously published total synthesis of two highly active anti-inflammatory macrolactones from the oxacyclododecindione family (J. Tauber, M. Rohr, T. Walter, G. Erkel and T. Opatz, Org. Biomol. Chem., 2015, 13, 7813-7821), seven new representatives of this compound class were prepared. Substitution of the 14-hydroxy group in oxacyclododecindione with a methyl substituent provided a readily accessible non-natural analogue which has similar pharmacological properties to the scarcely available natural product. Since the producible amount of substance is therefore no longer restricted by low fermentation yields, extensive in vivo studies become possible for the first t…
