14-step synthesis of (+)-ingenol from (+)-3-carene.

چکیده
Ingenol is a diterpenoid with unique architecture and has derivatives possessing important anticancer activity, including the recently Food and Drug Administration-approved Picato, a first-in-class drug for the treatment of the precancerous skin condition actinic keratosis. Currently, that compound is sourced inefficiently from Euphorbia peplus. Here, we detail an efficient, highly stereocontrolled synthesis of (+)-ingenol proceeding in only 14 steps from inexpensive (+)-3-carene and using a two-phase design. This synthesis will allow for the creation of fully synthetic analogs of bioactive ingenanes to address pharmacological limitations and provides a strategic blueprint for chemical production. These results validate two-phase terpene total synthesis as not only an academic curiosity but also a viable alternative to isolation or bioengineering for the efficient preparation of polyoxygenated terpenoids at the limits of chemical complexity.

Synthesis and Cytotoxicity against K562 Cells of 3-O-Angeloyl-20-O-acetyl Ingenol, a Derivative of Ingenol Mebutate
Ingenol mebutate possesses significant cytotoxicity and is clinically used to treat actinic keratosis. However, ingenol mebutate undergoes acyl migration which affects its bioactivity. Compound 3-O-angeloyl-20-O-acetyl ingenol (AAI, also known as 20-O-acetyl-ingenol-3-angelate or PEP008) is a synthetic derivative of ingenol mebutate. In this work, we report the AAI synthesis details and demonst...
متن کاملMicrobiological transformations of terpenes. III. Transformations of some mono- and sesqui-terpenes.
The action of Aspergillus niger on mono- and sesqui-terpenic hydrocarbons, such as carane, 3-carene, alpha-santalene, and humulene was studied in shake cultures. Carane, Delta3-carene, and humulene proved to be rather resistant to oxygenation by the experimental strain of A. niger. Carene yielded a hydroxyketone, C(10)H(14)O(2), in poor yields after prolonged fermentation. The sesqui-terpene hy...
متن کاملTreatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma with ingenol mebutate gel, 0.05%
BACKGROUND Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer in Caucasians. Surgical approaches are the most widely used and effective treatment strategies for well-defined BCC. However, for patients with low-risk, superficial BCCs (sBCCs), medical therapy may be a treatment option. In this small case series, we describe our experience in using topical treatment with ingenol mebutate gel, 0....
متن کاملMetabolism of ∆-Carene by Human Cytochrome P450 Enzymes: Identification and Characterization of Two New Metabolites
The metabolism of the bicyclic monoterpene ∆-carene was investigated in vitro using human liver microsomes as well as human smoker/non-smoker lung microsomes and 12 different recombinant cytochrome P450 enzymes coexpressed with human CYP-reductase in Escherichia coli cells. We detected two metabolites using GC-MS analysis. The mass fragmentation indicated for one metabolite hydroxylation in the...
