We have discovered a new class of colchicine-derived therapeutic agents for immune diseases including rejection of organ-transplantation and autoimmune disease. Compound 2, which had been developed to overcome poor pharmacokinetic properties of compound 1, a first-generation colchicine analog, turned out to show toxicity such as intestinal toxicity and loss of weight during in vivo tests. The deletion of 7-carboxamide group and middle ring-truncation in colchicine allowed us to have structurally simplified analogs with strong immunosuppressive activity. Herein, we report non-alkaloid tricyclic compound 7 and 12 as immunosuppressants which exhibited a strong immunosuppressive in vivo efficacy on the T-dependent antibody response, the Zymosan A-induced arthritis model and the Carrageenan-induced edema model. Compound 7 and 12 revealed less toxicity than the previous lead compound 2, and their minimum lethal doses (MLD) were proved to exceed 100 mg/kg.
Efforts directed toward the synthesis of colchicine: Application of palladium-catalyzed siloxane cross-coupling methodology

Colchicine is an important and synthetically challenging natural product. The key synthetic step in this approach to the synthesis of colchicine involved a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between 5-bromotropolone (4) and an aryl siloxane to form the aryl-tropolone bond. The coupling of a variety of highly functionalized aryl siloxane derivatives was investigated and optimized coupling conditions were developed. It was discovered that a palladium catalyst with a high degree of phosphine ligand coordination (5 equiv of phosphine/mol Pd) was necessary to efficiently couple aryl siloxanes with 5-bromotropolone (4). In addition, the coupling approach has provided a direct comparison between siloxane and boronic acid coupling technologies that demonstrated that aryl siloxanes and boronic acids produce similar yields of highly functionalized biaryl products.
