Background: Podophyllotoxin is a natural lignan which possesses anticancer and antiviral activities. Etoposide and teniposide are semisynthetic glycoside derivatives of podophyllotoxin and are increasingly used in cancer medicine. Objective: The present work aimed to design and synthesize a series of 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyrano-sides derivatives of 4’-demethylepipodophyllotoxin as novel anticancer agents. Methods: A divergent de novo synthesis of 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosides derivatives of 4’-demethylepipodophyllotoxin has been established via palladium-catalyzed glycosylation. The abili-ties of synthesized glycosides to inhibit the growth of A549, HepG2, SH-SY5Y, KB/VCR and HeLa cancer cells were investigated by MTT assay. Flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle with propidium iodide DNA staining was employed to observe the effect of compound 5b on cancer cell cycle. Results: Twelve D and L monosaccharide derivatives 5a-5l have been efficiently synthesized in three steps from various pyranone building blocks employing de novo glycosylation strategy. D-monosaccharide 5b showed the highest cytotoxicity on five cancer cell lines with the IC50 values ranging from 0.9 to 6.7 μM. It caused HepG2 cycle arrest at G2/M phase in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion: The present work leads to the development of novel 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosides derivatives of 4’-demethylepipodophyllotoxin. The biological results suggest that the replacement of the glucosyl moiety of etoposide with 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosyl is favorable to their cytotoxic-ity. D-monosaccharide 5b was observed to cause HepG2 cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in a concen-tration-dependent manner.

A series of bifunctional spiro ligands bearing “carboxamide–phosphine oxide” groups and ethylzinc carboxamidates from these ligands as catalysts for Et2Zn additions to aldehydes were reported. Excellent yields were obtained with moderate ee′s in Et2Zn additions to benzaldehyde derivatives, implying effectiveness of our newly designed catalytic structures as well as mediocre stereocontrol by these chiral ligands. Possible transition states were suggested based on the crystal structures of two ligands.

Efficient and modular syntheses of chiral 2-(2-hydroxyaryl)alcohols (HAROLs), novel 1,4-diols carrying one phenolic and one alcohol hydroxyl group, have been developed which led to generation of a small library of structurally diverse HAROLs in enantiomerically pure form. Of the different HAROLs examined, a HAROL based on the indan backbone exhibited the highest activity and enantioselectivity in the 1,2-addition of certain organometallic compounds to aldehydes in the presence of Ti(OiPr)4 (up to 97% y, 88% ee) and performed as a hydrogen-bond donor organocatalyst in the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction, promoted by trialkylphosphines.
