An enantioselective and regioselective total synthesis approach to chiral 1,4-benzodioxane lignans (2R,3R)- and (2S,3S)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzodioxan-6-carbaldehyde is reported.

AbstractIsoamericanol A 4and isoamericanin A 5have been synthesized via a novel effective route. 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic alcohol 3is self-coupled to afford isoamericanol A 4 which is oxidized to obtain isoamericanin A 5.

Accumulation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) due to defects in ATP binding cassette protein D1 (ABCD1) is thought to underlie the pathologies observed in adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). Pursuing a substrate reduction approach based on the inhibition of elongation of very long chain fatty acid 1 enzyme (ELOVL1), we explored a series of thiazole amides that evolved into compound 27─a highly potent, central nervous system (CNS)-penetrant compound with favorable in vivopharmacokinetics. Compound 27selectively inhibits ELOVL1, reducing C26:0 VLCFA synthesis in ALD patient fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and microglia. In mouse models of ALD, compound 27treatment reduced C26:0 VLCFA concentrations to near-wild-type levels in blood and up to 65% in the brain, a disease-relevant tissue. Preclinical safety findings in the skin, eye, and CNS precluded progression; the origin and relevance of these findings require further study. ELOVL1 inhibition is an effective approach for normalizing VLCFAs in models of ALD.

A novel stereoselective synthetic approach to 1,4-benzodioxane lignans was reported in which (2R, 3R)- and (2D, 3S)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzodioxan-6-carbaldehyde were first synthesised.

The (±)-3-methoxybenzodioxane-4,9,9′-triol neolignan 9, and methyl ethers of isoamericanol A 8and isoamericanin A 7were synthesized from the readily available materials caffeic acid and ferulic acid, using a coupling reaction as a key step.

The methyl ethers of americanol A (8) and americanin A (9) were synthesized from the readily available caffeic acid 4 and ferulic acid 1; conversion of cis6 to trans7 is a key step.
