- Functionalisation of tetraalkylsilanes derived from C-H activation; Towards annulations of diterpenoids
-
Vinyl trialkylsilanes are efficient substrates for use in the ortho alkylation of aromatic ketones catalysed by zerovalent ruthenium complexes, giving, e.g. (2-trimethylsilylethyl)acetophenones. Methods for the selective desilylation-functionalisation of such tetraalkylsilanes are investigated. Some diterpenoid tetraalkylsilanes derived from the ruthenium-catalysed insertion of vinyltrimethylsilane have been functionalised by benzylic bromination of an ArCH2CH2SiMe3 fragment with NaBrO3-Na2S2O5 (optimally), leading to a 1,2-dibromoethyl derivative. Further transformations culminated in the overall conversion of ArCH2CH2SiMe3 into ArCOCH3. Attempted aldol coupling of the resulting 1,4-diketone provoked skeletal reorganisation. A tetraalkylsilane was converted into a silanol (ArCH2CH2SiMe2OH) by the action of aluminium chloride and water, but further oxidation of this silanol to the primary alcohol (ArCH2CH2OH) was unsuccessful.

- Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of methyl 13-Iodo-O- methylpodocarpate and amides
-
Copper iodide was utilized as a relatively inexpensive catalyst (versus palladium) for the high-yield synthesis of amide derivatives of podocarpic acid. The reaction involved the one-step cross-coupling reaction of methyl 13-iodo-O-methylpodocarpate with amides.

- Late-stage C-H amination of abietane diterpenoids
-
This study aims at highlighting the synthetic versatility of the rhodium-catalyzed C-H amination reactions using iodine(iii) oxidants for the late-stage functionalization of natural products. Inter-and intramolecular nitrene insertions have been performed from various abietane diterpenoids, leading to the amination of the C-3, C-6, C-7, C-11 and C-15 positions. Ca. 20 aminated compounds have been isolated with yields of up to 86% and high levels of regio-, chemo-and stereoselectivities.

- Phenolic diterpenoid derivatives as anti-influenza a virus agents
-
A series of diterpenoid derivatives based on podocarpic acid were synthesized and evaluated as anti-influenza A virus agents. Several of the novel podocarpic acid derivatives exhibited nanomolar activities against an H1N1 influenza A virus (A/Puerto Rico/8/34) that was resistant to two anti-influenza drugs, oseltamivir and amantadine. This class of compounds inhibits the influenza virus by targeting the viral hemagglutinin-mediated membrane fusion. These results indicated that podocarpic acid derivatives may serve as potential drug candidates to fight drug-resistant influenza A virus infections.

- Design, synthesis and characterization of podocarpate derivatives as openers of BK channels
-
We found that the podocarpic acid structure provides a new scaffold for chemical modulators of large-conductance calcium-activated K+ channels (BK channels). Structure-activity analysis indicates the importance of both the arrangement (i.e., location and orientation) of the carboxylic acid functionality of ring A and the hydrophobic region of ring C for expression of BK channel-opening activity.

- Syntheses of Confertifolin, Winterin and Isodrimenin Congeners from Podocarpic Acid

Podocarpic acid (11) has been converted into the congener (5) of confertifolin (4) through the o-quinone (29) formed by oxidations of the catechol monoether (15) and the 13-amine (16) with Fremy's salt.Oxidation of the methyl ether (12) afforded the p-quinone (44) which was converted into the congener (6) of winterin (7).Podocarpic acid has also been converted into the congener (8) of isodrimenin (9) through the catechol derivative (37).

- Investigation of the antitumor activity of podocarpic acid derivatives
-
As a class, octahydrophenanthrene lactones, podolactones, and related podocarpic acid derivatives have been reported to possess a wide variety of biological activities, including antileukemic activity, inhibition of plant cell growth, and hormonal and anti-inflammatory properties. In the present study, a series of synthetic intermediates derived from podocarpic acid have been prepared and evaluated with the respect to their ability to inhibit human epidermoid carcinoma of the nasopharynx in vitro. The significant cytotoxicity demonstrated by methyl 6α-bromo-7-oxo-O-methylpodocarpate (50% inhibition at 8.85 x 10-9 M) was markedly higher than that of the other derivatives examined. Further evaluation against L210 and P388 lymphoid leukemias in mice failed to demonstrate significant antitumor activity.
