Martin An iminium ion cascade sequence was designed and its implementation attempted to form the pentacyclic core structure of the natural product condylocarpine. Trapping of the transient Pictet-Spengler-type spiroindolenium ion with a latent nucleophile would form two of the five rings of condylocarpine in a regioselective manner. Progress towards the first fully stereocontrolled synthesis of a lysergic acid derivative has been described. The route utilizes intermediates with the appropriate oxidation state for the target, and the two stereocenters are installed via asymmetric catalysis. The d ring and second stereocenter were simultaneously formed via an unprecedented microwave heated asymmetric ring closing metathesis (ARCM). iv Table of Contents List of

Received: 30 March 2012; in revised form: 9 May 2012 / Accepted: 10 May 2012 / Published: 18 May 2012 Abstract: The synthetic investigation of biologically active natural compounds serves two main purposes: (i) the total synthesis of alkaloids and their analogues; (ii) modification of the structures for producing more selective, more effective, or less toxic derivatives. In the chemistry of dimeric Vinca alkaloids enormous efforts have been directed towards synthesizing new derivatives of the antitumor agents vinblastine and vincristine so as to obtain novel compounds with improved therapeutic properties. Keywords: antitumor therapy; vinblastine; vincristine; derivatives 1. Introduction Vinblastine (1) and vincristine (2) are dimeric alkaloids (Figure 1) isolated from the Madagaskar periwinkle plant (Catharantus roseus), exhibit significant cytotoxic activity and are used in the antitumor therapy as antineoplastic agents. In the course of cell proliferation they act as inhibitors during the metaphase of the cell cycle and by binding to the microtubules inhibit the development of the mitotic spindle. In tumor cells these agents inhibit the DNA repair and the RNA synthesis mechanisms, blocking the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Molecules 2012, 17 5894 Figure 1.

  • Nematotoxicity of Neotyphodium Infected Tall Fescue Alkaloids and Other Secondary Metabolites on Pratylenchus Scribneri
    NEMATOTOXICITY OF NEOTYPHODIUM-INFECTED TALL FESCUE ALKALOIDS AND OTHER SECONDARY METABOLITES ON THE PLANT- PARASITIC NEMATODE PRATYLENCHUS SCRIBNERI by ADA ANTONIA BACETTY (Under the direction of Charles W. Bacon) ABSTRACT Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a perennial, cool-season turf and forage grass species in the United States that covers over 20 million hectares of pastureland. Neotyphodium coenophialum, an endophytic fungus associated with cool-season grasses, enhances host fitness and imparts pest resistance to the grass. Biologically active alkaloids and other secondary metabolites are produced in this association that not only cause adverse effects on livestock, fescue toxicosis, but may also play a role in the reduction of plant-parasitic nematode populations. Currently there is little information available on the effects of these biologically active compounds on nematodes associated with tall fescue. Therefore, this research examines the interaction of ergot and loline alkaloids, as well as polyphenolic compounds, from endophyte-infected tall fescue on toxicity to the lesion nematode, Pratylenchus scribneri. In vitro bioassays were performed to assess the effects of specifically identified compounds on P. scribneri motility, mortality, and chemoreception. While separate greenhouse studies evaluated the effects of endophyte- infected tall fescue on P. scribneri viability. Root extracts served as nematistatic agents to the nematodes in the chemical submersion assays and affected nematode behavior by acting as repellents in chemoreception studies. During individual tests, ergovaline and α-ergocryptine were nematicidal at 5µg/ml and 50µg/ml respectively. However, chemotaxis studies revealed α-ergocryptine as an attractant (1-20µg/ml) and repellent (50-200µg/ml). Ergovaline was an effective repellent (1-5µg/ml) and a nematicidal (10-200µg/ml).

The use of these seeds is unsafe. They can cause hallucinogenic effects, nausea, vomiting, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, (severe) fatigue and lethargy. These health effects can occur even when the seeds are consumed at the recommended dose. This is the conclusion of a risk assessment performed by RIVM. Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds are sold as raw seeds or in capsules. The raw seeds can be eaten as such, or after being crushed and dissolved in liquid (generally hot water).

The scope and chemoselectivity of this tandem process is broad and it tolerates many functional groups and classes of allylic alcohol starting material. The diastereoselectivity of the Claisen rearrangement was investigated with moderate to excellent diastereomeric selectivity for the formation of the γ,δ-unsaturated α,α-dibromo esters. The product α,α-dibromo esters are also shown to be valuable chemical building blocks. They were used in the synthesis of the ynolate reaction intermediate, as well as other carbon–carbon bond- forming reactions. Highly functionalized lactones were also shown to be simply prepared from the γ,δ-unsaturated α,α-dibromo ester starting materials formed via the Cliasen rearrangement. ii A phosphine-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of imines and allenoates is also investigated herein.

Evolution of the (PP3)Rh fragment on going from (PP,)RhH to (PP3)Rh+. within 2 h. The compound 6 in turn adds H2 (1 atm) to reform II 2. Finally, 2 quickly exchanges H, with C2H4to give [(PP3)- Rh(C2H,)](S0,CF,)" (7) whose 31PNMR spectrum with an AB,X spin system closely resembles that of 2. This result is reasonable because of the analogy between the binding of H2 and olefins to metals. It has been previously argued that both steric and electronic factors must be finely "tuned" on a metal fragment to permit the formation of an q2-H2adductla The geometric change of the (PP,)Rh fragment from C,, to C,, symmetry (Figure 1) is ac- companied by a certain variation of the fragmental frontier or- bitals. Likely the key to understand the mechanism of the present cis-dihydride - q2-dihydrogen interconversion may be found in the orbital control operated by the (PP,)Rh fragment.

  • Phoretic Analysis of Ergot Alkaloids. Relations Mobility in the Cle Vine
    Acta Pharm, Suecica 2, 357 (1965) Thin-layer chromatographic and thin-layer electro- phoretic analysis of ergot alkaloids.Relations between structure, RM value and electrophoretic mobility in the cle vine series STIG AGUREll DepartMent of PharmacOgnosy, Kunql, Farmaceuliska Insiitutei, StockhOLM, Sweden SUMMARY A thin-layer chromatographic and electrophoretic study of the ergot alkaloids has been made, to find rapid methods for the separation and identification of the known ergot alkaloids. The mobilities of ergot alkaloids in several useful chromatographic and electrophore- tic systems are recorded. Relations have been observed between structure and R" value in methanol-chloroform on Silica Gel G. A simple, rapid thin-layer electrophoretic technique has been de- vised for separation of ergot alkaloids, and a relation between structure and electrophoretic mobility is evident. Two-dimensional combinations of thin-layer chromatography and thin-layer electro- phoresis and chromatography are described. Numerous paper chromatographic procedures have been published for separation of the ergot alkaloids and their derivatives. Hofmann (1) and Genest & Farmilio (2) have recently listed these systems. The general advantages of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) over paper partition chromatography are well known: shorter time of equilibration and devel- opment, generally better resolution, smaller amounts of substance rc- quired, and wider choice of reagents. Several reports of TLC of ergot alkaloids have been published. In gene- ral, these investigations (2-6 and others) have dealt 'with limited groups of alkaloids, or with a specific problem involving at most a dozen of the 40 now known naturally occurring ergot alkaloids. Some paper chromate- .357 graphic systems using Iorrnamide-treated papers have also been adopted for thin-layer chromatographic use (7, 8).
