Abstract
Lappaconitine, a diterpene alkaloid isolated from Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai, exhibits a wide range of biological activities, making it a promising candidate for the development of novel derivatives with therapeutic potential. In our research, we executed a two-step transformation via oxidative cleavage of lappaconitine's vicinal diol using the hypervalent iodine reagent PhI(OAc)2, followed by strong alkaline hydrolysis. This approach yielded four new unanticipated compounds, whose structures were identified by spectroscopic methods and/or X-ray crystallography. Thus, we proposed plausible reaction mechanisms for their formations and particularly investigated the remarkable diastereoselectivity for the formation of single stereoisomer 8 observed during the alkaline hydrolysis step. Among them, compound 8 (code name: QG3030) demonstrated both enhanced osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells and significant osteogenic effect in an ovariectomized rat model with no acute oral toxicity.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
