Marine sponges produce a series of complex polycyclic diamine alkaloids which appear to have a common biogenesis from simple bis-pyridine macrocycles. These structurally novel secondary metabolites are presumably biosynthetically produced by the controlled ionic coupling of macrocyclic 3-alkyl piperidines leading to 3,4??-linked bis-piperidines (ii). Included among these diamine marine alkaloids is haliclonacyclamine C (i) which serves as our synthetic target. Chapter I in this thesis provides background information describing biological activity and proposed biosynthetic pathways to these important diamine marine alkaloids. Chapter II details progress towards the total synthesis of haliclonacyclamine C. The focus of Chapter II will be on our successful construction of the 3,4??-linked bispiperidine central core (ii) highlighted by the use of palladium-mediated C-C bond forming processes. The stereoselective hydrogenation of a coupled product will also be discussed.

Uemura e colaboradores em 1996, apresentam em comum um sistema 6-aza-[4.5.0]-espirobiciclodecano. A atividade biológica da haliclorina (1) está relacionada com a inibição de moléculas associadas à adesão de células vasculares (VCAM-1) com IC50 de 7mg/mL. O ácido pináico (2) e ácido tauropináico (3) são inibidores da fosfolipase A2 (FLA2). Devido à similaridade estrutural existente entre haliclorina (1), ácido pináico (2) e ácido tauropináico (3), a proposta sintética para estes produtos naturais apresenta um intermediário chave em comum, o núcleo 6-aza-[4.5.0]- espirobiciclodecano. A estratégia sintética foi baseada em uma reação de Michael estereosseletiva entre enolato de lítio da N-propionilpirolidina e 1-ciclopenten-1-carboxilato de metila, seguida da alquilação in situ com 4-iodo-butirato de etila formando 4 em 68% rendimento. A próxima etapa consistiu na condensação de Dieckmann seguida de hidrólise/descarboxilação conduzindo a cetona 5 (61% rendimento) que sofreu redução com LiEt3BH, seguida de lactonização espontânea para gerar 6 (67% rendimento). Após algumas manipulações de grupo funcionais foi obtida a oxima 7 (76% rendimento de 6) precursora do rearranjo de Beckmann que forneceu a lactama espirobicíclica 8 em 60% rendimento / Abstract: In 1996, D. Uemura and co-workers isolated the marine alkaloids halichlorine (1), pinnaic acid (2) and tauropinaic acid (3). They are structurally co-related by a 6- azaspiro[4.5.0]decane core. The biological activity of the haliclorina (1) is related to the inhibition of molecules associated to the adhesion of vascular cells (VCAM-1) with IC50 7mg/mL. The pinnaic acid (2) and tauropinnaic acid (3) are inhibitors of the fosfolipase A2 (FLA2). Due to the structural similarity among halichlorine (1), acid pinnaic (2) and acid tauropinnaic (3), this work presents a new synthetic approach to a common key intermediate, the 6-azaspiro[4.5.0]decane nucleus. Our approach was based on the tandem Michael addition/alkylation of the lithium enolate of N-propionyl pyrrolidine to 1-carbomethoxy cyclopentene, followed by in situ alkylation with ethyl 4-iodobutanoate to provide 4 in 68% yield. Dieckmann cyclization, followed by decarboxylation, afforded spirobicyclic ketone 5 (61% yield) which underwent reduction with LiEt3BH reduction, followed by spontaneous lactonization to give 6 (67% yield). Straightforward functional group manipulations provided oxime 7 (76% yield from 6) which underwent Beckmann rearrangement to afford the spirobicyclic lactam 8 in 60% yield, a potential intermediate to the synthesis of those alkaloids / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutor em Ciências

Foram testados 12 análogos de alcalóides marinhos 3-alquil piridinas e 7 biosósteros do resveratrol, sendo 4 complexados a ouro, em formas promastigotas de L. amazonensis e em macrófagos peritoneais. Em ambos os casos, a viabilidade celular foi avaliada pelo método colorimétrico do MTT. Os compostos que apresentaram significante atividade antipromastigota e foram seletivos para o parasito, em comparação com a célula hospedeira, foram testados em amastigotas intracelulares de L. amazonensis, cujo efeito dos compostos foi avaliado pela contagem das formas intracelulares. Além disso, foi coletado o sobrenadante para a dosagem de óxido nítrico (NO), através do método de Griess. A maioria dos compostos testados apresentou efeito antipromastigota, destacando os compostos 4 e 5 do grupo dos análogos de alcalóides marinhos, com CI50 de 1,07 e 1,09 µM, respectivamente. Em relação à série dos bioisósteros do resveratrol, destacam-se aqueles complexados a ouro, sendo o composto 17 o mais ativo (CI50 de 5,18 µM). Todos os compostos que foram testados em amastigotas apresentaram atividade, destacando-se, o composto 10 (CI50 = 0,27 µM), dentre os análogos de alcalóides marinhos, e o composto 19, da série dos bioisósteros do resveratrol complexados a ouro (CI50 = 5,77 µM). A maioria dos análogos de alcalóides marinhos mostrou significante toxicidade em macrófagos peritoneais, enquanto somente dois bioisósteros do resveratrol complexados a ouro foram tóxicos para a célula hospedeira. No entanto, todos os compostos testados em amastigotas apresentaram significante seletividade pelo parasito em seu estágio intracelular. Com relação à especificidade das moléculas, os análogos marinhos foram específicos para amastigotas, sugerindo que o alvo desses compostos é exclusivo desse estágio, já a maioria dos bioisósteros do resveratrol complexados a ouro mostraram efeito semelhante em formas promastigotas e amastigotas de L. amazonensis, sugerindo alvos comuns desses compostos nos dois estágios do parasito. Nenhum dos compostos testados induziu significante produção de NO por macrófagos infectados com L. amazonensis, sugerindo que essa molécula não está diretamente relacionada ao efeito antiparasitário. Em resumo, o trabalho mostrou que os compostos testados possuem significativo potencial leishmanicida e abrem perspectivas para estudos em modelos in vivo, bem como estudo do mecanismo de ação. / The aim of this study was to evaluate the leishmanicidal activity of marine alkaloid analogues and bioisosteres of resveratrol in L. amazonensis. We tested 12 3alkylpyridine marine alkaloid analogues of and 7 bioisosteres of resveratrol, 4 complexed to gold, in promastigotes of L. amazonensis and in peritoneal macrophages. In both cases, the viability of the cells was checked using the MTT colorimetric method. Compounds with significant antipromastigote activity and selectivity by the parasite, when compared to the host cell, were tested on intracellular amastigotes of L. amazonensis, which effect of the compounds was determined by counting the number of intracellular parasites. Supernatant was also collected for measure of the nitric oxide (NO), by the Griess method. Most compounds showed antipromastigote effect, especially compounds 4 and 5 of the marine alkaloid analogues, with IC50 of 1.07 and 1.09 µM, respectively. Regarding the bioisosteres of resveratrol, the gold complex 17 was the most active (IC50 of 5.18 µM). All compounds tested in amastigotes exhibited activity, including the compound 10 (IC50 = 0.27 µM), among marine alkaloid analogues, and the compound 19, among gold complexes with bioisosteres of resveratrol (IC50 = 5.77 µM). Most marine alkaloid analogues showed significant toxicity in peritoneal macrophages, while only two bioisosteres of resveratrol complexed to gold were toxic to host cell. However, all compounds tested in amastigotes showed significant selectivity for intracellular parasite. Regarding the specificity of the molecules, marine analogues were specific to amastigote forms, suggesting that the target of these compounds is unique to this stage, while most of bioisosteres of resveratrol complexed to gold showed similar effect on promastigotes and amastigotes of L. amazonensis, suggesting common targets of these compounds in both stages of the parasite. None of compounds induced significant NO production by L. amazonensis-infected macrophages, suggesting that this molecule is not directly related with the antiparasitic effect. In summary, the study showed that the compounds have significant potential leishmanicidal and encourages in vivo studies, as well as the action mechanism.

A novel hetero Diels-Alder reaction has been developed to facilitate the synthesis of annelated pyridines as models for pyridoacridine alkaloids. The key reaction is based on an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of an aza-1,3-butadiene with an appropriate dienophile, to yield the desired annelated pyridine. An extension of this methodology is to exploit the Eglinton copper (IT) dimerisation of terminal acetylenes. This allows for a unique double intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reaction, where four new rings are formed in one step. This allows for a facile route to annelated bipyridines. Ultimately this methodology has led to an approach to the total synthesis of the natural product eilatin, a member of the class of compounds known as pyridoacridines.

La première partie de ce manuscrit est consacrée à l'inhibition des glycosidases. Ces enzymes sont impliquées dans de très nombreux processus biologiques et, par voie de conséquence, dans de nombreuses maladies (diabète, cancer, maldadies lysosomales etc…). Outre l'intérêt de développer de nouveaux médicaments, les glycosides hydrolases font aussi figure de cibles de choix pour étudier les itinéraires conformationnels au cours de l'hydrolyse de la liaison glycosidique et en particulier au niveau de l'état de transition. La mise en parallèle de l'importance de l'orientation des liaisons C2-O2 et C3-O3 dans la stéréosélectivité des réactions de b-mannopyranosylation dirigées par les groupements 4,6-O-benzylidène, avec le rôle des interactions avec la liaison C3-O3 dans la catalyse enzymatique pour les b-mannosidases, nous a conduits à nous intéresser au développement de nouveaux glycoimidazoles, potentiellement inhibiteurs de ces enzymes. Nous nous sommes attachés à développer ce type de molécules car ils sont considérés, à l'heure actuelle, comme les meilleurs mimes de l'état de transition. La catalyse par les b-mannosidases passerait par un état de transition de type B2,5. Ce chemin conformationnel semble inhabituel mais serait le plus approprié au développement du caractère de double liaison entre le carbone anomérique et l'oxygène endocyclique ainsi qu'à la charge positive lorsque le système est proche de l'état de transition. De plus, il semblerait que la conformation B2,5 soit aussi privilégiée pour les a-mannosidases, ce qui renforce l'intérêt thérapeutique de synthétiser de nouveaux inhibiteurs de glycosidases. La stratégie de synthèse s'appuie sur des travaux de Vasella. Elle repose sur la construction du squelette bicyclique des tétrahydroimidazopyridines, via une réaction de cyclisation intramoléculaire d'oxoéthylamidines intermédiaires, qui permet d'obtenir de nouveaux glycoimidazoles en une quinzaine d'étapes. Dans la seconde partie, sont exposés les travaux concernant la préparation et l'utilisation en synthèse de glutaconaldéhydes oxydés en position 2 et de N-acylaminopentadiènals. Après avoir rappelé l'importance des glutaconaldéhydes et des aminopentadiènals dans les hypothèses de biogenèse des alcaloïdes marins de la famille des manzamines, nous avons vu que ces espèces pouvaient être considérés comme des intermédiaires possibles pour la synthèse d'alcaloïdes marins de la famille des pyrrole-2-aminoimidazoles (P-2-AI). La nouvelle méthode de préparation des sels de glutaconaldéhydes nous a permis de synthétiser un glutaconaldéhyde oxydé en position 2 et de commencer à étudier la réactivité des 2-alkoxy-N-acylaminopentadiènals. Le dernier chapitre de cette partie traite d'une méthode de préparation de N-acyl-5-aminopenta-2,4-diènals via l'ouverture de furfurylamines N-acylées développée en parallèle avec les travaux précédemment cités. / The first part of this manuscript is dedicated to glycosidase inhibition. Because enzyme-catalyzed carbohydrate hydrolysis is a biologically widespread process, glycosidase inhibitors have many potential applications as therapeutic agents. Glycosidase inhibitors are extremely useful probes to understand vital functions of glycosidases in living systems. They are also interesting tools to study mechanisms involved in the hydrolysis by different glycosidase families and to understand conformational pathways more particularly close to the transition state of the reaction. In parallel with the importance of the orientation of C2-O2 and C3-O3 bonds for the stereoselectivity of 4,6-O-benzylidene-directed b-mannopyranosylation, the role of interactions with C3-O3 bond during enzymatic hydrolysis for b-mannosidases prompted us to develop new glycoimidazoles, potential glycosidases inhibitors. Nowadays, glycoimidazoles are considered as the best transition state mimics; that is why we were interested in these molecules. Enzyme inhibition through mimicry of the transition state is indeed a major area for the design of new therapeutic agents. The enzymatic catalysis for b-mannosidases appears to use an unusual B2,5 conformational pathway for a better accommodation of the double bond character and the positive charge on the pyranose ring close to the transition state. There is now strong support for a similar pathway for a-mannosidases. Golgi a-mannosidases are involved in cancer metastasis and this strengthens the interest of developing new glycosidases inhibitors. Our strategy leaned on Vasella's work with the construction of a tetrahydroimidazopyridine bicyclic skeleton, via an intramolecular oxoethylamidine cyclization. It allowed us to prepare new glycoimidazoles in about fifteen steps. These compounds are modified in position 3 compared to those reported in the literature. They are expected to adopt a B2,5 conformation which would allow us to get better transition state mimics than those actually known for -mannosidases. In the second part, we discuss the preparation and use of oxidized glutaconaldehydes and N-acylaminopentadienals in organic synthesis. After reminding of the importance of glutaconaldehydes and aminopentadienals in the biosynthetic scenario of manzamine alkaloids, we will see that these species are possible intermediates in the synthesis of pyrrole-2-aminoimidazoles (P-2-AI), a marine alkaloids family. A practical method to access glutaconaldehydes allowed us to prepare these species oxidized in position 2 and to begin a study of the reactivity of 2-alkoxy-N-acylaminopentadienals. Finally, in the last chapter, a new access to N-acyl-5-aminopenta-2,4-dienals through base-induced ring-opening of N-acylated furfurylamines is reported.
