2-Formylpyrrole natural products: origin, structural diversity, bioactivity and synthesis

Synthesis and Structural Modification of Marine Natural Products.

In the last decades, marine natural products (MNPs), have attracted extensive interest from both chemists and pharmacologists due to their chemical and bioactive diversities. This special issue, collecting total synthesis and structural modification of six different type of bioactive MNPs, is expected to inspire and attract more research effects invested into MNP research.

Structure, bioactivity and synthesis of natural products with hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole.

Research on natural products containing hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole (HPI) has dramatically increased during the past few years. Newly discovered natural products with complex structures and important biological activities have recently been isolated and synthesized. This review summarizes the structures, biological activities, and synthetic routes for natural compounds containing HPI, emphasi...

Structural revisions of natural products by total synthesis.

Natural Products Synthesis

Rhizopodin (1, Scheme 1) is an architecturally unique polyketide macrolide that was originally isolated from the myxobacterium Myxococcus stipitatus by the groups of Hçfle and Reichenbach. It shows potent antifungal and antiproliferative cytotoxicity against a range of tumor cell lines with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range. [1] On a molecular level, 1 disrupts the cytoskeleton of actin by...

Design and Synthesis of Some Novel Fluorobenzimidazoles Substituted with Structural Motifs Present in Physiologically Active Natural Products for Antitubercular Activity

Keeping in view the drawbacks associated with research on anti-TB drugs based on plant extracts and the non-availability of fluorinated natural products with antitubercular activity has prompted us to make an effort towards the synthesis and characterization of a novel series of fifteen substituted fluorobenzimidazoles. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by I.R, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR,...
