Denbinobin 簡捷合成之研究 • Denbinobin(1),為一種phenanthrene quinone 結構的天然物,其最早被發現於Dndrobium nobile 的成分之中。而最近有報導指出denbinobin(1)具有抗氧化、抗血小板凝聚、抗發炎以及抗惡性腫瘤方面的活性,為提供本化合物對其藥理作用機轉之探討,並進一步製備並研究其衍生物及類似物。本研究係先行設計一種化學全合成的簡捷方式以取得此天然物。在化學合成上,我們選擇以市售的2-bromoisovanillin(22)為起始物,進行七步反應以得到denbinobin(1)。首先,我們先將起始物2-bromoisovanillin(22)的OH基接上TBDMS保護基,並另將3,5-dimethoxybenzyl bromide(17)接上triphenyl- posphine形成phosphonium ylide 18,然後兩者以Wittig反應結合,得到olefins trans-24及cis-25。接著對cis-25以Bu3SnH/AIBN進行自由基環化反應形成化合物26,再以TBAF摘除先前的保護基得到化合物27,並以Fremy`s salt作氧化劑形成quinone 11,最後進行TMSI選擇性的去甲基反應而得到denbinobin(1),總產率為15 %。其中,以AIBN作催化劑而使用Bu3SnH進行自由基環化反應,與以Fremy`s salt氧化形成quinone結構為此一denbinobin(1)合成之重要關鍵化學反應。
A Concise Synthesis of Denbinobin • Denbinobin(1) containing an phenanthrene quinone skeleton is a minor constituent isolated from Dendrobium nobile. Previous studies indicated that denbinobin(1) exhibited anti-inflammatory activity, anti-oxidant, anti-platelet aggregation and anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo. In order to prepare denbinobin analogs for structure -activity relationship and action mechanism studies, a concise synthesis of denbinobin(1) is developed in this research. Denbinobin(1) is prepared in 7 steps from two commercial available starting materials, 2-bromoisovanillin (22) and 3,5- dimethoxybenzyl bromide (17). The hydroxyl group of 22 was protected by treating with TBDMSCl to yield the protected 23. 3,5-Dimethoxybenzyl bromide (17) was reacted with triphenylposphine to form phosphonium ylide 18. By using Witting reaction, Compound 23 was reacted with 18 in thepresence of n-butyllithium to produce a mixture of olefins ,trans-24 and cis-25. The cis-25 isomer was treated with Bu3SnH/AIBN to form the desired phenanthrene 26. The TBDMS-protecting group of 26 was removed by tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) to yield 27, which was then oxidized to the phenanthrene- quinone 11 by Fremy`s salt. Finally, Compound 11 was selective demethyled with trimethylsilyl iodide (TMSI) to form denbinobin(1). The total yield of denbinobin(1) synthesis in the present study was 15 %.
