Lignan Natural Products Baran Group Meeting November 18, 2005 Mike DeMartino -Classification of lignan natural products: -Biosynthesis: Ar O -This topic nicely bridges two other Baran Group meeting topics, meaning Ar OH Ar O O O Ar that these will not be detailed in this lecture. In the most general sense, Ar' OH Ar' O Ar' the biosynthesis if lignans can be thought of as such: Ar' dibenzylbutan(diol)e tetrahydrofuran tetrahydrofuran dibenzylbutyrolactone Carbohydrates --> Shikimic acid pathway --> Aromatic a.a.'s --> Cinnamic acids --> Lignans (Steganes) OH OH O O RO See Group Meeting: See Group Meeting: Ambhaikar, (2005) Zografos, (2004) RO O O RO O http://www.scripps.edu/chem/baran/html/meetingschedule.html O R'O Ar Ar CO2H CO2H tetralin naphthalene dibenzocyclooctadiene NH2 (stegane) cinnamic -Provisional statement acid Lignans are an extremely large class of natural products; for reasons detailed below, this lecture will focus on (bio)synthesis. That said, L-Phe O2 Shikimic NADPH neolignans (see next page) will not be discussed in detail.

L-Tyr 4-coumaric acid caffeic ferulic sinapic Many lignan containing plants have been used for centuries, (p-coumaric acid) acid acid acid particualrly in Asian communities, as cures and remedies for various ailments. This subject will not be further elaborated upon as the sheer magnitude of the topic warrants more than this particualr avenue of OH OH OH discussion. For interesting case studies on some of the more prolific medicinally relavant lignans, see Ref 1 below. Ref 5 also has execllent discussions on the bioactivites of plant lignans. -Key References MeO MeO OMe 1. Ayres, D.C., Loike, J.D.

HO HO (+)-pinoresinol MeO -Lignin is a complex aromatic biopolymer formed of hydroxycinnamyl alcohols, which MeO are connected to each other with various linkages . It is three-dimensional in structure likely occurs through O and is formed between other constituents of the cell wall, having covalent linkages to quinonemethide/ NADPH H+ reduction cellulose, hemicelluloses and proteins. Lignans (and neolignans) are dimers of hydroxy cinnamyl alcohols.
