Abstract
: Kingianins are pentacyclic polyketides isolated from Endiandra kingiana . They exhibit promising activity in inhibiting anti-apoptotic proteins (i.e Bcl-xL and Mcl-1) and anti-diabetic proteins (α-glucosidase) at micromolar levels. Due to their structural complexity and intriguing biological activity, researchers are increasingly focussing on designing total synthesis routes for these compounds. In this communication, we propose a new non-biomimetic synthesis strategy that utilises a [2+2] ketene cycloaddition reaction as a key-step to access the bicyclo[4.2.0]octane system of kingianins. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report based on this approach.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
