The natural product veranamine was isolated from the marine sponge . It contains a unique heterocyclic scaffold and demonstrates in vivo antidepressant activity and selective affinity for 5HT2B and sigma-1 receptors. The first total synthesis of veranamine is reported. Our scalable synthesis offers veranamine in six steps and 25% yield via an unprecedented vinylogous Pictet-Gams pyridine formation strategy. Veranamine is a promising new lead compound for antidepressant drug development.
天然产物韦拉纳明从海洋海绵中分离得到。它含有独特的杂环支架，具有体内抗抑郁活性和对 5-HT2B 和 sigma-1 受体的选择性亲和力。首次报道了韦拉纳明的全合成。我们的可扩展合成通过前所未有的 vinylogous Pictet-Gams 吡啶形成策略，以六步和 25%的收率提供韦拉纳明。韦拉纳明是一种很有前途的新型抗抑郁药物先导化合物。
