Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of carbohydrate chemistry and medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing marine cyanobacteria metabolites Dragocins A-C and analogs thereof and their use in preparing anti-tumor drugs. Background Art
[0002] Cancer, also known as malignant tumors, poses a serious threat to human health and life. Natural products, such as paclitaxel and camptothecin, are a crucial source for new drug discovery and play a crucial role in the development of anti-tumor drugs. Natural products have potential therapeutic effects against cancer, and natural product-derived drugs offer the advantages of low residual content and minimal side effects. However, the low content and limited sources of some natural products severely limit further research into their drugability and mechanisms of action.
[0003] In 2019, Professor Gerwick's research group at the Scripps Research Institute in the United States isolated two alkaloids, Dragocins AC, with a unique oxo-bridged cyclic [6.2.1] undecane skeleton, from a deep red, woolly marine cyanobacteria found in the Panamanian Sea. Preliminary bioactivity testing showed that Dragocins A and C exhibited potent cytotoxicity against human H-460 lung cancer cells (Org. Lett., 2019, 21, 266-270).
[0004] At present, there are few reports on the chemical synthesis of Dragocins AC and its analogues. In 2024, the Baran group reported the first total synthesis of Dragocins AC, which obtained a pyrrolidine module glycosylated receptor with a yield of 14% in 7 steps. The operation was complicated and the yield was low. One of the key technologies is the construction of the oxo-bridged cyclic [6.2.1] undecane skeleton by electrochemical oxidation, and the other is the introduction of the necessary C-4′ substituent by Barton decarboxylation chlorination. This route uses hazardous reagents such as metallic lithium and lithium aluminum hydride, and the reaction conditions are harsh, making it difficult to synthesize Dragocins AC on a large scale (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2024, 136, e202401107.). Summary of the Invention
[0005] In response to the above problems, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a method for synthesizing Dragocins AC and its analogs, which are metabolites of marine cyanobacteria and have inexpensive and readily available raw materials, mild reaction conditions, a simple synthetic route, and high yields, which is suitable for the large-scale synthesis of Dragocins AC and its analogs, epi-Dragocins AC.
[0006] In addition, the present invention also provides the use of Dragocins AC and its analogs synthesized by the above method in preparing anti-tumor drugs.
