Herein, a two-step chemoenzymatic process for the synthesis of medicinally important 3-deoxygenated anthra-9,10-quinones is developed. It involves a regio- and stereoselective reduction of hydroanthraquinones to (R)-configured dihydroanthracenones using an anthrol reductase of T. islandicus, followed by oxidation and dehydration to obtain deoxyanthraquinones in 65-80% yield. Comparison of the cell viability of normal human kidney HEK293 cells between anthraquinones and their deoxy derivatives revealed less toxicity for the latter.

An NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase from Talaromyces islandicus WF-38-12 has been identified through genome analysis. It has been shown to catalyze a regio- and stereoselective reduction of anthrols (formed in situ by the reduction of anthraquinones in the presence of Na2S2O4) to (R)-dihydroanthracenones, with high enantiomeric excess (>99%). The implications of results on the biosynthesis of deoxygenated (bis)anthraquinones and modified (bis)anthraquinones are discussed.
First enantioselective total synthesis of altersolanol A

The first enantioselective total synthesis of altersolanol A, a secondary metabolite from the endophytic fungi Stemphylium globuliferum and Alternaria solani, is described. The key step towards the tetrahydroanthraquinone core was an asymmetric Diels-Alder (D-A) cycloaddition promoted by (R)-3,3′-diphenyl-BINOL/boron Lewis acid with good to excellent yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity (>95 : 5 dr and 98 : 2 er).
