Biomimetic Synthesis of Two Salmahyrtisanes: Salmahyrtisol A and Hippospongide A

摘要

Sesterterpenes with a salmahyrtisane skeleton have been synthesized for the first time. (-)-Sclareol has been selected as a precursor for the synthesis of two novel natural products: salmahyrtisol A (1) and hippospongide A (2). Our results represent a biomimetic approach to obtaining salmahyrtisanes from hyrtiosanes. Salmahyrtisol A has shown an activity comparable to that of the standard anticancer drugs in the cell lines A549, HBL-100, HeLa, and SW1573.
