Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Handbook of Marine Natural Products" takes a fresh approach to describing the major themes of research in this rapidly developing field. This two volume reference work begins with a section that provides a taxonomic survey of the secondary metabolites of diverse marine life including microbes, algae, and invertebrates. This is followed by a demonstration of the techniques and strategies employed in modern structure elucidation of complex natural products. The natural roles of marine natural products are then explored in a series of focused chapters which include the topics of symbiosis, anti-predation and antifouling, chemical interactions, and defence against UV stress. Various routes which facilitate the understanding of marine natural product biosynthesis are subsequently explained and these are followed by an extensive set of chapters on the biomedical potential of marine natural products. The latter portion of this section considers the technologies and scientific disciplines necessary for advancing bioactive marine natural product lead compounds into actual pharmaceuticals. The reference work finishes with a selection of chapters describing marine toxins and their impact on public health and seafood resources. Final thoughts presented at the end of the second volume focus on the future of this field of investigation and discovery research. This publication is presented as a reference handbook and general concepts are emphasized and illustrated with numerous interesting examples, graphical information, and a comprehensive index. "Handbook of Marine Natural Products" introduces students who are at advanced undergraduate and entry graduate student levels to this fascinating multidisciplinary field. It is an ideal desk companion for courses focusing on this contemporary area.
Download or read book Total Synthesis of Bioactive Natural Products by Palladium Catalyzed Domino Cyclization of Allenes and Related Compounds written by Shinsuke Inuki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has developed novel methodologies for highly efficient construction of functionalized heterocycles by palladium-catalyzed domino/cascade cyclization of allenes and related compounds containing appropriate nucleophilic group(s). Based on these methodologies, enantioselective total syntheses of bioactive natural products, pachastrissamine (26% overall yield in seven steps), lysergic acid (4.0% overall yield in fifteen steps), lysergol (3.6% overall yield in fifteen steps) and isolysergol (8.2% overall yield in eleven steps) have been achieved. These are more facile synthetic route than those previously reported. These findings would contribute to the development of efficient synthetic methods for biologically active compounds containing a complex structure.

Download or read book Stereoselective Syntheses of Certain Natural Products and Their Analogues from Chiral pool and Enzymatically derived Building Blocks written by Joshua Neil Victor Timshell Buckler and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is comprised of six scientific articles and is preceded by an overview that contextualises all of this published/submitted work. The first section of this thesis is comprised of Publications 1-3 and is concerned with the synthesis of novel, oxygenated analogues of the natural and non-natural enantiomeric forms of the Amaryllidaceae alkaloid galanthamine, a reversible and selective acetylcholine esterase (AChE) inhibitor that is used clinically in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Specifically, Publication 1 is an invited book chapter that details synthetic approaches to galanthamine and certain analogues pursued by the Banwell Group. It contextualises the strategy employed in preparing oxygenated analogues of galanthamine by the author in latter part of the first section of this thesis. Publication 2 is an invited review article that showcases the methodologies that have been developed within the Banwell Group for manipulating enzymatically-derived and homochiral cis-1,2-dihydrocatechols so as to generate a significant range of biologically active natural products. Publication 3 describes the synthesis of certain oxygenated derivatives of both (+)- and (-)-galanthamine and the evaluation of these as AChE inhibitors. The second section of this thesis is comprised of Publications 4 and 5. These detail the synthesis of certain polyfunctionalized, cyclohexene-based chirons from L-(+)- and D-(-)-tartaric acid, respectively, and their elaboration into various natural product scaffolds. Specifically, Publication 4 describes the preparation of the aforementioned chirons from L-(+)-tartaric acid and its elaboration to the enantiomer of a key intermediate described in Publication 3 that is used to produce oxygenated analogues of (-)-galanthamine. Publication 5 further demonstrates the utility of these new chirons in total synthesis by employing the enantiomer of this chiron (prepared from D-(+)-tartaric acid) as a key intermediate in the first total synthesis of the structurally unusual natural product aspergillusol B. The final section of this thesis is comprised of Publication 6. This details work on the total synthesis of the four diastereomeric forms of the pro-angiogenic guaiacylglycerol 8-O-4ʹ-coniferyl ethers (GGCE) in an effort to establish the role stereochemistry plays on their capacities to act as pro-angiogenic agents. The syntheses feature an Evans/Seebach syn-aldol reaction utilising auxiliaries derived from either L-(+)- or D-(-)-valine. In the case of syntheses of the anti-compounds this was followed by a Mitsunobu inversion of the benzylic alcohol. The four diastereomers were assessed for their pro-angiogenic properties in a human microvascular endothelial cell tubule assay. Whilst they were all active, the compounds containing the 8S-ether linkage were the most potent.
Download or read book More Dead Ends and Detours written by Miguel A. Sierra and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success comes in many forms and in synthesis it can be a failure that results in their ultimate successful solutions. This long-awaited sequel to "Dead Ends and Detours" retains the proven concept while featuring over 20 new case studies of failed strategies and their (successful) solutions in natural product total synthesis. Additionally, computational models are used to discuss the problem in much more detail and to provide readers with additional information not found in the primary literature. The topics range from classic synthetic reactions (e.g. Diels Alder reaction), metal-mediated coupling reactions, metathesis, and asymmetric catalysis to the importance of protecting and activating groups. This book will benefit not only graduate students in organic chemistry but also advanced researchers as they gain knowledge derived from the step-by-step analysis of mistakes made in the past and, thus be able to improve their own chemical reaction planning. With its coverage of the most commonly applied reaction types, the book perfectly complements its predecessor, which focuses on general aspects, such as reactivity and selectivity.

Download or read book Synthesis of Marine Natural Products 1 written by K.F. Albizati and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volumes five and six of Bioorganic Marine Chemistry differ from their predecessors in two respects - they deal exclusively with labor atory synthesis of marine natural products and they represent the effort of a single author and his associates. The rationale for these departures is readily perceived. For several decades organic synthesis has without doubt been the most spectacular branch of organic chemistry. While the late R.B. Woodward's dictum - organic compounds can undergo only four basic reactions: they can gain electrons; they can lose electrons; they can be transformed with acid or with base - is still true, the wealth and variety of available reagents which will accomplish chemical transformations has reached staggering proportions. Little wonder then, that synthetic methodology has achieved a high degree of predictability and total synthesis of natural products has been successfully directed toward ever more challenging targets. As for the second point, that of single authorship, multiple authorship would invariably have led to gaps and overlaps, thus making it difficult to assemble and assess recent research in a systematic and comprehens ive fashion.
