Download or read book Synthetic Studies Applied to Polyketide Natural Products written by Alexander Mandel and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polyketide natural products are valuable components of the modern pharmacopea. These secondary metabolites have a diverse range of structures and activities. Studies of their biosynthesis and activity will help to provide access to better medicinal compounds. To this end, directly probing these mechanisms with derivatives of natural products is an important goal. Synthetic organic chemistry allows production of a greater variety of compounds than can be accessed by manipulation of isolated natural products. In some cases, these bioactive molecules are only obtainable in small quantities or at great expense. Herein, a modular synthesis of the Coenzyme A (10) precursors pantethine (35) and phosphopantetheine (14) is described. CoA is a cofactor that interacts with an estimated 4% of all enzymes known in nature, and it is central to the biosynthesis of polyketide antibiotics. Using d-pantolactone (50) to provide the key units, 53 and 63, pantetheine, phosphopantetheine, and derivatives were assembled through peptide couplings. Next, synthetic methods were applied toward the total synthesis of two related macrolide antibiotics, pladienolide B (70b) and FD-895 (71), in an attempt to elucidate their stereochemistries and to get a supply of each molecule for studies into the their stereochemistries and to get a supply of each molecule for studies into the molecule relies on a Stille coupling to connect the sidechain (133) to the 12-membered macrocyclic core (111), and an esterification / ring-closing metathesis sequence to furnish the ring from compounds 115 and 114. The sidechain of pladienolide B was completed and involved in model studies to demonstrate the overall retrosynthetic background. The core structure was proposed to arise from the chiral pool, but the strategy to combine the two units with the necessary stereochemistry met with failure under many different conditions. Due to complications in obtaining an authentic sample of pladienolide B (70b), and subsequent outside publication of a total synthesis incorporating many aspects of the work contained herein, FD-895 (71) was chosen as an alternative target. The same retrosynthetic breakdown was applied to FD-895.

This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book entitled "Synthetic Studies on Selected Aromatic Polyketides" consists of three parts. Part A describes a direct synthetic method to 1,4- dihydroxyanthraquinones, an exploratory study towards anthracyclinones and a total synthesis of naturally occurring 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinones ventinone A and ventinone B . Part B describes a total synthesis of an uncommon anthraquinone i.e. naturally occurring 9,10-dimethoxy-2-methyl-1,4- anthraquinone and Part C describes model studies towards the synthesis of chrymutasins and gilvocarcins that contain a benzo[d]naphtho[1,2-b] pyran-6-one as the core. The overall objective of the book is to give an idea of total synthesis of quinonoid natural products (e.g. anthracyclinones, anthraquinones) by exploitation of the Hauser annulation. The key reactions investigated here are Hauser annulation and carbonyl-ene reaction. The syntheses of few cyclopropaanthraquinones have also been given along with their chemistry.

Download or read book Plant derived Natural Products written by Anne E. Osbourn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-07-07 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants produce a huge array of natural products (secondary metabolites). These compounds have important ecological functions, providing protection against attack by herbivores and microbes and serving as attractants for pollinators and seed-dispersing agents. They may also contribute to competition and invasiveness by suppressing the growth of neighboring plant species (a phenomenon known as allelopathy). Humans exploit natural products as sources of drugs, flavoring agents, fragrances and for a wide range of other applications. Rapid progress has been made in recent years in understanding natural product synthesis, regulation and function and the evolution of metabolic diversity. It is timely to bring this information together with contemporary advances in chemistry, plant biology, ecology, agronomy and human health to provide a comprehensive guide to plant-derived natural products. Plant-derived natural products: synthesis, function and application provides an informative and accessible overview of the different facets of the field, ranging from an introduction to the different classes of natural products through developments in natural product chemistry and biology to ecological interactions and the significance of plant-derived natural products for humans. In the final section of the book a series of chapters on new trends covers metabolic engineering, genome-wide approaches, the metabolic consequences of genetic modification, developments in traditional medicines and nutraceuticals, natural products as leads for drug discovery and novel non-food crops.

Book excerpt: Many potential applications of synthetic and systems biology are relevant to the challenges associated with the detection, surveillance, and responses to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. On March 14 and 15, 2011, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) Forum on Microbial Threats convened a public workshop in Washington, DC, to explore the current state of the science of synthetic biology, including its dependency on systems biology; discussed the different approaches that scientists are taking to engineer, or reengineer, biological systems; and discussed how the tools and approaches of synthetic and systems biology were being applied to mitigate the risks associated with emerging infectious diseases. The Science and Applications of Synthetic and Systems Biology is organized into sections as a topic-by-topic distillation of the presentations and discussions that took place at the workshop. Its purpose is to present information from relevant experience, to delineate a range of pivotal issues and their respective challenges, and to offer differing perspectives on the topic as discussed and described by the workshop participants. This report also includes a collection of individually authored papers and commentary.
