Abstract
Synthesis of carbocyclic core of cortistatin A (1), a novel anti-angiogenic steroidal alkaloid from Indonesian marine sponge, was investigated. Intramolecular Heck cyclization using substrate 18 achieved construction of 7-membered B-ring structure. The presence of steric hindrance around the reaction center was found to favor endo cyclization pathway in this substrate.INTRODUCTION
Angiogenesis, a formation of new blood capillaries from preexisting blood vessels, is critical for tumor growth and metastasis. A growing tumor needs an extensive network of capillaries to provide nutrients and oxygen etc. In addition, the new blood vessels provide a way for tumor cells to enter in the circulation and to metastasize to another organ. Therefore, substances that inhibit angiogenesis have a considerable potential to be novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer.1
In the course of our study on the bioactive substances from marine organisms, we focused on a search for selective growth inhibitors against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as anti-angiogenic substances and found cortistatins,2 a family of novel abeo-9(10-19)-androstane-type steroidal alkaloids, from the Indonesian marine sponge of Corticium simplex. Cortistatin A (1, Figure 1), a major constituent, showed remarkably selective anti-proliferative activity against HUVECs and also inhibited migration and tubular formation of HUVECs induced by VEGF or bFGF.2a The unique structure and characteristic biological properties of this compound attracted many synthetic chemists, and four total syntheses,3-6 two formal syntheses7,8 and many synthetic studies9 have been reported so far. Here we report about the construction of carbocyclic core of 1 through Pd-catalyzed 7-endo-type intramolecular cyclization reaction.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Cortistatin A (1) has a characteristic rearranged steroid skeleton, particular with 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octene system in B-ring. Synthetic methods of this complex ring system were highlighted in all the reported total syntheses of 1 to date, such as ring-expansion of cyclopropane or enyne cycloisomerization, etc.3-8 We planned to investigate another approach, that is, direct ring closure through intramolecular Heck-type reaction and subsequent oxo-bridge formation (Figure 2). In the cyclization intermediate of Heck reaction, 7-endo pathway was expected to be sterically more accessible than 6-exo pathway.10 And, cyclization precursor was divided into two fragments of A-ring fragment and CD-ring fragment.
Firstly, the A-ring fragment was prepared as follows (Scheme 1). Commercial 1,4-cyclohexanedione mono(ethylene ketal) (2) was alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate to give a keto-ester 3, and subsequent Wittig reaction provided an exo-methylene 4 in moderate yield. LiAlH4 treatment of 4 and protection of the resulting alcohol moiety of 5 by benzyl group gave compound 6. The exo-methylene of 6 was transformed to hydroxymethyl group by hydroboration/oxidation method to give compound 7 as a 1:1 mixture of two diastereomers, which indicates that hydroboration occurred with no stereoselectivity. Then, the hydroxyl group of 7 was protected as tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) ether to give compound 8. The compound 8 was further converted to a desired A-ring fragment 10 in a racemic form through debenzylation and phosphine-mediated substitution reaction.
The A-ring fragment 10 and the CD-ring fragment 19, prepared from commercially available (+)-Hajos-Parrish ketone in 2 steps,11 were coupled together using Molander’s method12 to give compound 11 as a mixture of four diastereomers. Hydrogenation of the dienol silyl ether derived from 11 occurred stereoselectively to provide compound 12,5 which was converted to a tert-alcohol 13 by the treatment with OsO4 with almost complete diastereoselectivity. The stereochemistry of the newly formed tert-alcohol moiety was determined by NOE experiment. Then removal of the TBS group and subsequent iodination of the primary hydroxyl group of 14 gave compound 15, which was further converted to an objective cyclization precursor 18 (1:1 diastereomeric mixture) by the treatment with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), protection of the tert-alcohol moiety, and enol triflate formation with the use of N-phenyltrifluoromethanesulfonimide in the presence of Et3N and KHMDS at elevated temperature. In order to investigate steric effect against the 6-exo/7-endo selectivity of Heck cyclization, the tert-alcohol moiety of 16 was protected as methoxymethyl (MOM) or benzyloxymethyl (BOM) ether.
Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of substrates 18a or 18b was investigated (Scheme 3). The desired cyclization reaction occurred with palladium catalyst generated by the combination of Pd2(dba)3 and 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) in the presence of potassium acetate (KOAc)10 to give a mixture of 7-endo- and 6-exo-cyclization products (20 and 21), respectively. The use of monodentate ligand such as triphenylphosphine provided solely 6-exo-product 21, and organic base (Et3N etc.) gave diminished reaction yield (data not shown). It revealed that the bulkiness of protecting group of the tert-alcohol moiety in 18 affected endo/exo selectivity. Thus, the use of 18a as a substrate at 70 °C gave 20a,20'a and 21a with the ratio of 1:1:2.6, and the same reaction at higher temperature (85 °C) provided lower 7-endo selectivity (1:3.4). In the case of 18b, the reaction at 85 °C proceeded with acceptable yield and 1:1:2 product ratio (20b,20'b and 21b).
Plausible mechanism of the intramolecular Heck reaction was shown in Figure 3. 7-Endo-trig cyclization toward exo-methylene and subsequent β-elimination provided the desired product 20 having conjugated diene system. While, the undesired product 21 having cyclopropane ring might be formed through 6-exo-trig cyclization, following carbopalladation toward 9,11-olefin, and β-elimination. Contrary to our expectation, the 6-exo-cyclization was more favored than the 7-endo-one in this substrate. However, the bulky protecting group of the tert-alcohol moiety might inhibit the formation of the 6-exo-cyclization intermediate to provide the improved, but not satisfactory, 7-endo selectivity.
In summary, a synthesis of the carbocyclic core of cortistatin A (1) was achieved through 7-endo intramolecular Heck reaction. This methodology will lead to the total synthesis of 1 and its analogs,13 which is now under investigation.
EXPERIMENTAL
A JEOL JNM LA-500 spectrometer was used to obtain 1H- and 13C–NMR data using tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. Mass spectra were obtained with a Waters Q-Tof Ultima API using MeOH as a solvent. HPLC was performed using a Hitachi L-6000 pump equipped with Hitachi L-4000H UV detector. Silica gel (Merck, 60-230 mesh) and pre-coated thin layer chromatography (TLC) plates (Merck, 60F254) were used for column chromatography and TLC. Spots on TLC plates were detected by spraying phosphomolybdic acid solution (5 g phosphomolybdic acid in 100 mL of EtOH) and acidic p-anisaldehyde solution (p-anisaldehyde: 25 mL, c-H2SO4: 25 mL, AcOH: 5 mL, EtOH: 425 mL) with subsequent heating. Unless otherwise noted, all the reactions were performed under N2 atmosphere using purchased reagents and solvents without further purification. After workup, the organic phases were dried over Na2SO4.

General procedure for intramolecular Heck reaction
Pd2(dba)3•CHCl3 (0.03 mmol) was added to the solution of dppb (0.06 mmol) in DMA (1 mL), and the whole mixture was stirred for 30 min. Then the solution of triflate 18 (0.1 mmol) in DMA (1 mL) and KOAc (0.3 mmol) were added to the mixture, and the whole mixture was stirred for 2 days at the indicated temperature. Sat. NH4Cl aq. was added to the mixture at 0 °C, and the whole mixture was extracted with AcOEt. Removal of the solvent from the AcOEt extract under reduced pressure gave a crude product, which was purified by SiO2 column to give a mixture of cyclized products (20 and 21). These products were further purified by reversed-phase HPLC.
