摘要:
A method of synthesizing rottlerin analogs is described. The synthesis methods described are the first known method of synthesizing rottlerin analogs from commercially-available materials to produce cost effective analogs. Rottlerin analog structures made by the synthesis methods and methods of use for treating a neurological or inflammatory response mediated by protein kinase C (PKC) are further described.

Disclosed herein are compounds, compositions, and methods to inactivate a virus and destroy tumor cells. The methods involve the addition into the cell of a compound containing a photosensitizing chemical and an energy donating chemical, optionally linked by a chemical tether. Also introduced into the cell are means to chemically activate the energy donating chemical which photoactivates the photosensitizing chemical which then destroys the tumor or virus. The photosensitizing chemical is preferably hypericin, porphyrin, or an analog and the energy donating chemical is preferably luciferin or an analog. Methods for synthesizing the chemicals are also disclosed. Further, the energy donating chemical is activated by an activating chemical. The expression of the activating chemical is regulated so as to target the virus-infected or tumor cells. Regulating the activating chemical is accomplished by a number of methods including construction of an expression plasmid containing a gene encoding the activating chemical under control of a promoter which is transactivated by replication of the virus or transactivated by elevated levels of proteins expressed in tumor cells.

An efficient synthesis of quinone pyrano-gamma-lactone antibiotics such as kalafungin and the new compound 9-deoxykalafungin in four basic steps from readily available starting materials. The key step in which all of the carbon atoms present in the target molecule are assembled is the addition of an alkoxy furan to a two position functionally substituted 1,4 naphthoquinone. This is followed by alkylating to provide protecting groups, hydride reduction, removal of the protecting groups, internal cyclization and by oxidative dealkylation to provide practical overall yields of the desired antibiotics.
摘要:
A method of synthesis of para-substituted benzoate esters and acids is provided, wherein the para-substituted regioisomer is obtained substantially free of the meta-substituted impurity, the method comprising contacting a coumalate ester or acid and an unactivated alkene at elevated temperature in the presence of a metal oxidation catalyst and an oxidant. The metal oxidation catalyst can be palladium, such as palladium on carbon, and the oxidant can be the oxygen gas in ambient air. The reaction can be carried out without solvent or in high boiling hydrocarbon solvents such as mesitylene. When the unactivated alkene is a monosubstituted alkene, yields of at least about 50 or 60% of para-substituted ester and acid products, respectively, are obtained, substantially free of the regioisomeric meta-substituted impurity.

摘要:
A method of preparing acyloxy furans and thiophenes from butenolides comprising reacting a pre-selected butenolide with an acylating agent in the presence of a base to provide an acyloxy furan intermediate, which in turn undergoes rearrangement in the presence of Lewis Acids by cleavage of a carbon-oxygen bond, and addition of the cleaved moiety to the furan ring forming a carbon-carbon bond on the ring. The result is a heretofore unknown group of lactone type compounds which are biologically active, in and of themselves, and in addition offer use as versatile synthesis intermediates to achieve, by conventional synthesis methods heretofore unavailable compounds.

摘要:
A method of synthesizing diacetylenic amides is described. The key steps of the invention include the reaction of an aldehyde with the monoanion of a diacetylene and the reductive removal of a propargylic alcohol. The invention offers the first known method of synthesizing diacetylenic amides that are naturally isolated from Echinacea through a direct and flexible route.
