STUDIES RELATED to the SYNTHESIS of Arylnaphthatrne LIGNANS 1. STUDIES RELATED TO THE SYNTHESIS OF ARYLNAPHTHAtRNE LIGNANS A thesis presented by SUSAN MARY MELLOWS in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of the UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Imperial College London S.W.7. October 1970. 2. Abstract This thesis is concerned with the synthesis o cyclolignans and in particular the synthesis of the pharmacologically active cyclolignan, podophyllotoxin. Existing syntheses of cyclolignans are reviewed. Various photochemical synthetic routes to the cyclolignans are proposed. One of these, the photoenolisation of o-benzylbenzaldehydes and subsequent Diels-Alder addition to the dienol of an appropriate dienophile has been investigated. Some general aspects of the photoenolisation reaction are discussed. Irradiation with ultra-violet light of the model compound o-tolualdehyde in the presence of dimethyl- acetylenedicarboxylate gave 2,3-dicarboxymethy1-1,4- -dihydro-l-naphthol. Cis-C1,C2-cis-C2,C3-l-tetralol- -2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride was formed by photoenolisation of o-tolualdehyde in the presence of maleic anhydride. Metal hydride reduction of the maleic anhydride adduct gave a mixture of cis-C1,C2-cis-C2,C3-2-carboxy-3-hydroxy- methyl-l-tetralo1-2,3'--lactone and cis-C1,C2-cis-C2,C3- 3-carboxy-2-hydroxymethyl-l-tetralo1-2',3-6'-lactone. gn acid catalysed rearrangement of the maleic anhydride adduct gave cis-C1,C2-cis-C2,C3-2,3-dicarboxy-l-tetralo1- 4-lactone which was reduced with diborane to cis-C1,C2- -cis-C2,C3-37carboxy-2-hydroxymethyl-l-tetralo1-2' ,3- - 3 • lactone. The synthesis of 6-(3,k,5-trimethoxybenzyl)piperonal is reported. Photoenolisation of this aldehyde in the presence of dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate gave 2,3-dicarboxymethy1-6,7-methylenedioxy-1-(3,4,5- -trimethoxypheny1)-1,4-dihydro-4-naphthol which could be dehydrated to give 2,3-dicarboxymethy1-6,7- -methylenedioxy-l-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)naphthalene or oxidised to 2,3-dicarboxymethy1-6,7-methylenedioxy- -1-(3,4,5)trimethoxypheny1)-4-naphthol. 4.

Introduction Lignans are a group of naturally occurring phenols made up of two phenylpropane (c6-c3) units, joined at the 0-carbon atoms of the side chains. Weinges and Spanigl classified the lignans as true lignans, deriveable from structures Ia and Ib, or cyclolignans, derivatives of II (having two less hydrogen atoms than the true lignans). Those lignans having additional structural features were given more specific names ie. lignanolides III, monoepoxylignans IV and bisepoxylignans V. Similarly, those cyclolignans having a )'-lactone function at C2 and C3 were separately classified as cyclolignanolides VIa and VIb. No specific mention was made by these authors of dehydrocyclo- lignans but in view of the isolation' in recent years of a number of arylnaphthalene lignans, two new groups of cyclolignans warrant independent consideration, dehydrocyclolignans VII and dehydrocyclolignanolides Villa and VIIIb.

Examples of arylnaphthalene lignans recently isolated from the Western red cedar, Thuja plicata Donn. are plicatinaphthalene and plicatinaphthol (1, R=H and 1, R=OH)2'8, dehydroderivatives of naturally occurring plicatin (2) which had previously been isolated from the same source4. Further examples, isolated from Justicia procumbens L.5'86 are Justicidin C (3, R=R1=0Me), Justicidin D (3, RR=0.CH2.0, RI=OMe) and Justicidin E (3, RR=0.CH2.0, R1=H). A few dihydroarylnaphthalene lignans have also been isolated LE. (dl)-thomasic acid (4, X=CH2OH) and (d1)-thomasidioic acid (4, X=CO2H) from the heartwood of Ulmus thomasii Sarg.8'7 and collinusin (5) from the leaves of Cleistanthus collinus.8 OH Me0 HO 014 OMe HO OMe HO HO 1 2 11. Me0 Me0 Me0 Me0 OH 4 5 The chemistry of lignans is the subject of reviews by Haworth9, Hearon and MacGreggorl°, Erdtman11, Adjangba12, Kato13, and Weinges and Spanigl . Shrecker and Hartwel114 have reviewed the podophyllum lignans. The present review covers syntheses of the cyclolignans, an aspect which has not previously been comprehensively surveyed. The review will deal.mainly with complete syntheses from common laboratory chemicals although a few illustrations of the numerous interconversions of naturally occurring lignans to other lignans and cyclolignans will be briefly discussed. A short synopsis of the biosynthesis of lignans is also included. 12. 1. Interconversion of naturally occurring lignans to other lignans and cyclolignans. Lignans and lignanolides can be converted to dehydrocyclolignans and dehydrocyclalignanolides, respectively. Flr example, the dimethyl ether (6) of naturally occurring (-)-guaiaretic acid which has been isolated from the resin of Guaiacum officinale L. and Guaiacum sanctum L.1° can be oxidised with iodine and mercuric chloride to dimethyldehydroguaiaretic acid (7)42. Cyclisation of the dimethyl ether (8) of natural (-)-matairesinol, obtained from the heartwood of the New Zealand matai, Podocarpus spicatus78 would be expected to occur towards either of the aromatic nuclei. In the event, treatment with lead tetraacetate gave a mixture of dimethyldehydroconidendrin (9) and dimethyldehydroretrodendrin (10)17. Sometimes partial dehydrogenation of lignans is possible. (-)- Arctigenin (11, R=H) occurs in the seeds of burdock, Arctum lappa L.'6 and its acetyl derivative (11, R=Ac) on treatment with lead tetraacetate yields (-)-acetylcyclo- arctigenin (12, R=Ac). Base hydrolysis of 12 (R=Ac) gives (-)-cycloarctigenin (12, R=H) which in turn, on methylation yields a-conidendrin (12, R=Me)18, a cyclolignan which is widely distributed in nature1°. 13.

Monoepoxylignans of the 2,5-diaryltetrahydrofuran type, after reduction with sodium and liquid ammonia and subsequent cyclisation in acidic media yield cyclolignans. For example, (-)-galbelgin (13) which has been isolated from Himantandra belgraveana F.v.Mul12°is converted to (-)-galbulin (14)20, a naturally occurring cyclolignan from the same source". These epoxylignans also undergo cyclisation with loss of water to give dehydrocyclolignans in acidic conditions, (-)-galbelgin (13) giving dehydrogalbelgin (15)20. Some 2,5-diaryltetrahydrofuran lignans occur naturally in a reduced form 2.E. (-)-podorhizol (16, 111=R=OMe) has been isolated as the glucoside from Podophyllum emodi resin", and more recently (-)-para- benzlactone (16, 111=H, RR=0.CH2.0-stereochemistry undefined) has been isolated from Parabenzoin trilobum Nakai?6 Acid catalysed cyclisation of these lignans yields the corresponding cyclolignan, eg. (-)-podorhizol gives a mixture of C1 epimers, desoxypodophyllotoxin (17, R1=R=OMe) and isodesoxypodophyllotoxin (18, 111=R=OMe) and (-)-parabenzlactone is transformed to Justicidin E (3, RR= 0.CH2.0, R1=H) after dehydrogenation of the cyclisation product with N-bromosuccinimide. 15. OMe 111 15 16 17 18 Acid treatment of 2-aryl-4-benzyltetrahydrofuran epoxylignans yields the corresponding cyclolignans. Although (+)-cyclo-olivil (20) has now been found in the resin of the Australian olive, Olea cunninghamii21, it was first obtained by acid treatment of (-)-olivil (19)22, which has been 2 24 isolated from the resin of the olive tree, Olea europaea-;n-' The structures given here for (-)-olivil and (+)-cyclo-olivil have only recently been assigned by Ayres et al.25,28 Similarly, (+)-lariciresinol (21) which occurs in the resin of Larix decidua27, gives (+)-cyclolariciresinol(22) in acidic media27. 16. ss.00H Me0 CH2OH ss OH HO H ,,%iCH2OH -...,.

Bisepoxylignans may be partially hydrogenated to the corresponding 2-aryl-k-benzyltetrahydrofuran monoepoxylignans which can yield cyclolignans under acidic conditions. For example (+)-eudesmin (23) which has been isolated from the wood of Humbertia madagasca:riensis and from the wood of Araucaria angustifolia28'29, may be converted to (+)- lariciresinol dimethyl ether and thence to (+)-dimethylcyclolariciresino13°.

Cox1 1 Menzies Health Institute Queensland, School of Medical Science, Griffith University, Southport, QLD, Australia, 2 Menzies Health Institute Queensland, School of Medicine, Griffith University, Southport, QLD, Australia Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic upper respiratory disease estimated to affect between 10 and 40% of the worldwide population. The mechanisms underlying AR are highly complex and involve multiple immune cells, mediators, and cytokines. As such, the development of a single drug to treat allergic inflammation and/or symptoms is confounded by the complexity of the disease pathophysiology. Complete avoidance of allergens that trigger AR symptoms is not possible and without a cure, the available therapeutic options are typically focused on achieving symptomatic relief.

These include most antibiotics, analgesics, hormones, and other pharmaceuticals. Increasingly, attention has focused on larger and more complex protein molecules as therapeutic agents. This publication describes the types of biologics produced in plants and the plant based organic therapeutic agent's production systems in use. KeyWords: Antecedent, Antibiotics; Anticancer;Antiparasitic; Antileishmanial;Antifungal Analgesics; Flavonoids; Hormones; Pharmaceuticals. I. INTRODUCTION Naturally occurring pharmaceutical and chemical significance of these compounds offer interesting possibilities in exploring their more pharmacological and biocidal potentials. One of the main objectives of organic and medicinal chemistry is the design, synthesis and production of molecules having value as human therapeutic agents [1]. Flavonoids comprise a widespread group of more than 400 higher plant secondary metabolites. Flavonoids are structurally derived from parent substance flavone. Many flavonoids are easily recognized as water soluble flower pigments in most flowering plants. According to their color, Flavonoids pigments have been classified into two groups:(a) The red-blue anthocyanin's and the yellow anthoxanthins,(b)Aurones are a class of flavonoids called anthochlor pigments[2].

    Cheminformatics Tools for Enabling Metabolomics by Yannick Djoumbou Feunang A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology and Biotechnology Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta ©Yannick Djoumbou Feunang, 2017 ii Abstract Metabolites are small molecules (<1500 Da) that are used in or produced during chemical reactions in cells, tissues, or organs. Upon absorption or biosynthesis in humans (or other organisms), they can either be excreted back into the environment in their original form, or as a pool of degradation products. The outcome and effects of such interactions is function of many variables, including the structure of the starting metabolite, and the genetic disposition of the host organism. For this reasons, it is usually very difficult to identify the transformation products as well as their long-term effect in humans and the environment. This can be explained by many factors: (1) the relevant knowledge and data are for the most part unavailable in a publicly available electronic format; (2) when available, they are often represented using formats, vocabularies, or schemes that vary from one source (or repository) to another. Assuming these issues were solved, detecting patterns that link the metabolome to a specific phenotype (e.g. a disease state), would still require that the metabolites from a biological sample be identified and quantified, using metabolomic approaches. Unfortunately, the amount of compounds with publicly available experimental data (~20,000) is still very small, compared to the total number of expected compounds (up to a few million compounds). For all these reasons, the development of cheminformatics tools for data organization and mapping, as well as for the prediction of biotransformation and spectra, is more crucial than ever.

  • Biosynthesis of Phenylpropane
    Biosynthesis of Phenylpropane David Wang’s Wood Components Synthesis’s Class Phenylpropane n Phenylpropane derivatives are compounds composed of a C6-C3 carbon skeleton comprised of an aromatic ring with a propane side chain. n Phenylpropanoids are considered to be essential for plant life. n Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol glucoside: dividing plant cells and acts as a cytokinin. n Flavonoid : polar transportation of auxin. n Flavonoids pigments: protect growing meristems against UV. n Isofavonoids and furanocoumarine: antibiotic and phytoalexin and protect plants from diseases. Lignin n Lignin is the second abundant and important organic substance in the plant world. n The incorporation of lignin into the cell walls of plants gave them the chance to conquer the Earth’s land surface. n Lignin increased the mechanical strength properties to such an extent that huge plants such as trees with heights of even more than 100 m can remain upright. Outline of the Biosynthetic Pathway of Phenylpropanoids Phenylpropanoid pathway n Shikimate pathway commonly involved in the biosynthesis of many aromatic compounds. n Biosynthesis of phenylalanine and tyrosine. n General phenylprpanoid pathway to afford 4-coumaroyl-Co-A. n Pathways for lignin and lignans etc. associated with general phenylpropanoid pathway. General Biosynthesis Pathway of Plant Phenolic compounds Malonic acid pathway Acetyl-CoA Phenolic compounds (C6-C3-C6)n D-erythose 4-phosphate C6-C3-C6 Shikimate Cinnamate pathway pathway C6-C1 C6-C3 (C6-C3)2 (C6-C3)n L-Phenylalanine Cinnamic acid Phosphoenol
