The branches of the shrub Aniba lancifolia Kubitzki et Rodrigues (Lauraceae) contain besides 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxyallylbenzene and its dimer cyclohexan-2-allyl-5-en-4,5-dimethoxy-4-O-(2'-allyl-4;,5'-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-one (lancilin, 2) 6 further novel n

The enantiocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-haouamine B pentaacetate was accomplished via an optically active indane-fused β-lactam, which was prepared by a newly developed Friedel-Crafts reaction. Subsequent cleavage of the β-lactam and an intramolecular McMurry coupling reaction provided the core indane-fused tetrahydropyridine, which led to the elucidation of the structure, as proposed by Trauner and Zuba.

A series of α-asarone-based analogues was designed by conducting docking experiments with published crystal structures of human HMG-CoA reductase. Indeed, synthesis and evaluation of this series showed a highly hypocholesterolemic in vivo activity in a murine model, as predicted by previous docking studies. In agreement with this model, the polar groups attached to the benzene ring could play a key role in the enzyme binding and probably also in its biological activity, mimicking the HMG-moiety of the natural substrate. The hypolipidemic action mechanism of these compounds was investigated by developing a simple, efficient, and novel model for determining HMG-CoA reductase inhibition. The partial purification of the enzyme from Schizosaccharomyces pombe allowed for testing of α-asarone- and fibrate-based analogues, resulting in positive and significant inhibitory activity.
