Herein, we disclose the development of a synthetic route to gain access to the uvaretin class of chalcone natural products. In this, the construction of a small library was achieved, and the collection was evaluated for cytotoxicity and other biological properties. Uvaretin (1) was accessed via a seven-step route in an overall yield of 15.1%. Within this route, the unsaturated enone variant of uvaretin (2), also a natural product, was accessed in a 16.7% yield over six steps. This route provides a nearly three-fold increase in yields of 1 and 2 in comparison to the previous synthetic route accessing them in 5.8% and 3.0% overall yields, respectively. Evaluation of 1 and 2 revealed IC50 values between 2.0 and 5.1 μM in the cancerous cell lines HeLa, U937, A549, and MIA PaCa-2. Screening of the whole chalcone library set led to the discovery of over 30 compounds, within six cancerous cell lines, possessing single digit μM IC50 activity as sole agents. Furthermore, multiple library members were found to possess promising potentiating properties with known chemotherapeutic agents.

13-Membered heterocyclic ring analogs of the core structure of manzamine alkaloids were synthesized by ring closing metathesis (RCM) reaction. The influence of a remote heteroatom (N, O, S) on E/Z stereochemistry of the olefinic double bond formed in RCM reaction using Grubbs 1st and 2nd generation ruthenium carbene complexes was evaluated. Studies show that RCM reaction is kinetically controlled and the hetero atoms influence the double bond stereochemistry.
