Saikosaponin A (SSa) and D (SSd) are typical oleanane-type saponins featuring a unique 13,28-epoxy-ether moiety at D ring of the aglycones, which exhibit a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities. Herein, we report the first synthesis of saikosaponin A/D (-) and their natural congeners, including prosaikosaponin F (), G (), saikosaponin Y (), prosaikogenin (), and clinoposaponin I (). The present synthesis features ready preparation of the aglycones of high oxidation state from oleanolic acid, regioselective glycosylation to construct the β-(1→3)-linked disaccharide fragment, and efficient gold(I)-catalyzed glycosylation to install the glycans on to the aglycones.
柴胡皂苷A(SSa)和D(SSd)是典型的齐墩果烷型皂苷,苷元的D环具有独特的13,28 - 环氧醚部分,表现出广泛的生物学和药理活性。在此,我们报道了柴胡皂苷A/D(-)及其天然同系物的首次合成,包括前柴胡皂苷F()、G()、柴胡皂苷Y()、前柴胡皂苷元()和棉根皂苷I()。本合成方法的特点是从齐墩果酸容易制备高氧化态的苷元,区域选择性糖基化构建β -(1→3)连接的二糖片段,以及高效的金(I)催化糖基化将聚糖连接到苷元上。
