Stereoselective synthesis of the naturally occurring styryllactones (+)-goniofufurone and (+)-cardiobutanolide.
2004
The naturally occurring gamma-lactones (+)-goniofufurone 1 and (+)-cardiobutanolide 2, two pharmacologically active products from Goniothalamus species (Annonaceae), have been synthesized in enantiopure form using l-erythrulose as the chiral starting material. Key steps of these syntheses were a stereoselective anti boron aldol reaction and an asymmetric allylboration.
Styryl-lactones from Goniothalamus species— A review
1999
Thirty-one bioactive styryl-lactones, with six different basic skeletons, have been isolated from Goniothalamus species. Aspects of their isolation, structural elucidation, biogenesis and biological activity are reviewed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Styryl-pyrones from Goniothalamus arvensis
1998
Two novel styrl-pyrones, (+)-garvensintriol and (+)-etharvendiol, together with a known cytotoxic furano-furone, (+)-goniofufurone, have been isolated from the stem bark of Goniothalamus arvensis. A different relative configuration, cis-erythro-erythro for garvensintriol and cis-threo-erythro for etharvendiol, is established, and their absolute stereochemistry is discussed.
3-acetylaltholactone and related styryl-lactones, mitochondrial respiratory chain inhibitors.
2000
A novel furano-pyrone, 3-acetylaltholactone, and two other known styryl-lactones, altholactone and 5-acetoxyisogoniothalamin oxide, have been isolated from Goniothalamus arvensis (Annonaceae) stem bark. We report here the isolation and structural elucidation of these compounds with furane-pyrone and styryl-pyrone skeletons, postulating also for the first time their mechanism of cytotoxicity based on inhibition on mammalian mitochondrial respiratory chain.
Preparation of 7-Alkoxylated Furanopyrones: Semisynthesis of (−)-Etharvensin, a New Styryl-Lactone from Goniothalamus arvensis
1997
A new furanopyrone derivative, (−)-etharvensin (1), was isolated from the stem bark of Goniothalamus arvensis. Semisynthesis of the 7-ethoxyfuranopyrone 1 was achieved by addition of EtOH in concentrated acid medium to the unsaturated α-pyrone (+)-altholactone (2). This protocol constitutes a novel, direct (single-step), and efficient method to prepare this class of bioactive compounds.
Styryl-lactones from the stem bark of Goniothalamus arvensis
1999
The fractionation of the methanolic extract of Goniothalamus arvensis (Annonaceae) stem bark led to the isolation of two novel styryl-lactones, arvensin and (+)-2-epi-altholactone. The structures of these compounds, which belong to the furano-pyrone group, were established on the basis of mass spectrometry, one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, as well as simple chemical derivatization. The relative and absolute configurations of the compounds are discussed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
