Synthesis and biological activity of kalkitoxin and its analogues

J Org Chem. 2012 Jan 6;77(1):357-70. doi: 10.1021/jo201951s. Epub 2011 Dec 6.

Abstract

Total syntheses of kalkitoxin, isolated from the Caribbean Lyngbya majuscula, and its analogues, 3-epi-, 7-epi-, 8-epi-, 10-epi-, 10-nor-, and 16-nor-kalkitoxin, were achieved via oxazolidinone-based diastereoselective 1,4-addition reaction of a methyl group and efficient TiCl(4)-mediated thiazoline ring formation as the key steps. The biological activities of synthetic kalkitoxin and its analogues were evaluated with brine shrimp.
