The paraherquamides constitute an unusual family of prenylated indole alkaloids that are secondary metabolites
نویسنده
چکیده
prenylated indole alkaloids that are secondary metabolites produced by Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp. fungi. This review will cover both the biosynthesis as well as the chemical synthesis of this family of natural products. Particular emphasis will be placed on the provocative hypothesis that the core bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctan ring system, which is common to this entire family, is formed by a biological Diels– Alder reaction.

Total synthesis and biosynthesis of the paraherquamides: an intriguing story of the biological Diels-Alder construction.
The syntheses and biosyntheses of the paraherquamide and brevianamide families of prenylated indole-derived alkaloids are reviewed. It has been proposed that the unique bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctan ring system that is common to this family of natural products, arises by a biological intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction. Both synthetic approaches and total syntheses of several members o...

Alkaloids containing a central bicyclo[n.2.2]piperazinedione (diketopiperazine, DKP, n 2) ring system, bridged at positions 3 and 6, constitute an ever-growing class of secondary metabolites. DKPs 1, biosynthesized from amino acids either by nonribosomal peptide synthases (NRPS) or by tRNA-dependent enzymes called cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPS), are the central precursors, from which diverse a...

Over eight different families of natural products consisting of nearly 70 secondary metabolites that contain the bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane ring system have been isolated from various Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Malbranchea species. Since 1968, these secondary metabolites have been the focus of numerous biogenetic, synthetic, taxonomic, and biological studies and, as such, have made a lasting ...
متن کاملAbiotic and biotic elicitors’ effects on secondary metabolites biosynthesis of periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus (Linn.) G. Don)
Based on recent statistical survey, the cancer is the third important factor in Iran mortality. Vinblastine and vincristine alkaloids are dominantly biosynthesized in the aerial parts of periwinkle, broadly applied for cancer treatment. Therefore, over production of these alkaloids by using the biotechnological approaches is inevitable. Since the terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAS) biosynthesis p...

A unified strategy for the synthesis of congeners of the prenylated indole alkaloids is presented. This strategy has yielded the first synthesis of the natural product (-)-17-hydroxy-citrinalin B as well as syntheses of (+)-stephacidin A and (+)-notoamide I. An enolate addition to an in situ generated isocyanate was utilized in forging a key bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane moiety, and in this way con...
