By means of a five-step reaction sequence, narciclasine (2a), isolated from Narcissus sp., was converted to 10b(S)-epipancratistatin (3a) in 5.7% overall yield. The key step entailed a radical-initiated 10b,1 C-O cleavage employing tributyltin hydride to yield a B/C cis ring juncture (3b). Biological evaluation of 10b(S)-epipancratistatin (3a) provided evidence that antineoplastic activity was reduced by a factor of 10 when the B/C trans juncture was replaced with a B/C cis ring juncture.
通过五步反应序列,从水仙属植物中分离得到的水仙环素(2a)被转化为10b(S)-表水仙环素(3a),总产率为5.7%。关键步骤是使用三丁基氢化锡引发自由基引发的10b,1 C-O裂解,以产生B/C顺式环连接(3b)。对10b(S)-表水仙环素(3a)的生物学评价提供了证据,表明当B/C反式连接被B/C顺式环连接取代时,抗肿瘤活性降低了10倍。
