There have been many reports of epimerization of salvinorins at C-8 under basic conditions, but little evidence has been presented to establish the structure of these compounds. We report here the first crystal structure of an 8-epi-salvinorin or derivative: the title compound, 2b. The lactone adopts a boat conformation with the furan equatorial. Several lines of evidence suggest that epimerization proceeds via enolization of the lactone rather than a previously proposed indirect mechanism. Consistent with the general trend in related compounds, the title compound showed lower affinity at the kappa opioid receptor than the natural epimer salvinorin B (2a). The related 8-epi-acid 4b showed no affinity.
已有许多关于在碱性条件下萨尔维诺醇在C-8位发生差向异构化的报道,但几乎没有证据能确定这些化合物的结构。我们在此报告首个8-表-萨尔维诺醇或其衍生物的晶体结构:标题化合物2b。内酯采取船式构象,呋喃处于平伏键。多条证据表明差向异构化是通过内酯的烯醇化进行的,而非先前提出的间接机制。与相关化合物的一般趋势一致,标题化合物在κ阿片受体上的亲和力低于天然差向异构体萨尔维诺醇B(2a)。相关的8-表-酸4b没有亲和力。
