Countercurrent distribution of the alkaloids of Lycopodiumannotinum gave four new bases: annofoline, lycofoline, and α- and β-lofoline. Annofoline, C16H25O2N, contained a keto and a hydroxyl group. Lycofoline, C16H25O2N, possessed at least one hydroxyl group and possibly a double bond, α- and β-Lofoline each had the formula C18H29O3N and contained a hydroxyl and an O-acetyl group.

The course of transformations of testosterone and its derivatives, including compounds with an additional C1,C2 double bond and/or a 17α-methyl group, a 17β-acetyl group or without a 19-methyl group, by a Beauveria bassiana culture was investigated. The fungi promoted hydroxylation of these compounds at position 11α, oxidation of the 17β-hydroxyl group, reduction of the C1,C2 or C4,C5 double bonds and degradation of the progesterone side-chain, leading to testosterone. The structure of 4-ene-3-oxo-steroids had no influence on regio- and stereochemistry of hydroxylation. In a similar manner, dehydroepiandrosterone was hydroxylated by Beauveria bassiana at position 11α, however, a small amount of 7α- hydroxylation product was also formed.

Background: It is one of the effective ways for pesticide innovation to develop new insecticides from natural products as lead compounds. Quinine, the main alkaloid in the bark of cinchona tree as well as in plants in the same genus, is recognized as a safe and potent botanical insecticide to many insects. The structural modification of quinine into 9R-acyloxyquinine derivatives is a potential approach for the development of novel insecticides, which showed more toxicity than quinine. However, there are no reports on the insecticidal activity of 9Racyloxyquinine derivatives to control Mythimna separata. Methods: Endeavor to discover biorational natural products-based insecticides, 20 novel 9Racyloxyquinine derivatives were prepared and assessed for their insecticidal activity against M. separata in vivo by the leaf-dipping method at 1 mg/mL. Results: Among all the compounds, especially derivatives 5i, 5k and 5t exhibited the best insecticidal activity with final mortality rates of 50.0%, 57.1%, and 53.6%, respectively. Conclusion: Overall, a free 9-hydroxyl group is not a prerequisite for insecticidal activity and C9- substitution is well tolerated; modification of out-ring double-bond is acceptable, and hydrogenation of double-bond enhances insecticidal activity; Quinine ring is essential and open of it is not acceptable. These preliminary results will pave the way for further modification of quinine in the development of potential new insecticides.

Abstract Oxepinamides are derivatives of anthranilyl-containing tripeptides and share an oxepin ring and a fused pyrimidinone moiety. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have been reported on the elucidation of an oxepinamide biosynthetic pathway and conversion of a quinazolinone to a pyrimidinone-fused 1H-oxepin framework by a cytochrome P450 enzyme in fungal natural product biosynthesis. Here we report the isolation of oxepinamide F from Aspergillus ustus and identification of its biosynthetic pathway by gene deletion, heterologous expression, feeding experiments, and enzyme assays. The nonribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) OpaA assembles the quinazolinone core with d-Phe incorporation. The cytochrome P450 enzyme OpaB catalyzes alone the oxepin ring formation. The flavoenzyme OpaC installs subsequently one hydroxyl group at the oxepin ring, accompanied by double bond migration. The epimerase OpaE changes the d-Phe residue back to l-form, which is essential for the final methylation by OpaF.

 Objective: The objective of the present study was to synthesize a series of 3-hydroxychromone derivatives and to evaluate its in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.Methods: 3-hydroxy chromones were synthesized using an algar flynn oyamada method which includes oxidative cyclization of 2-hydroxy chalcones in basic solution by hydrogen peroxide. 2-hydroxy chalcones were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of substituted 2-hydroxy acetophenones with substituted aromatic aldehydes using polyethylene glycol-400 as a recyclable solvent. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitro antioxidant activity by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay. In addition, these compounds were also screened for in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity by agar cup method and Poison plate method, respectively.Results: The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by infrared, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. The antioxidant activity data revealed that all the synthesized derivatives exhibited good activity due to the presence of phenolic hydroxyl group, 4-oxo group and 2,3-double bond. Further, the activity increased with the introduction of a more phenolic hydroxyl group and adjacent methoxy group in the structure. The antimicrobial activity data showed that the compounds possess better antibacterial and antifungal activity which is attributed to the presence of phenolic hydroxyl group and 4-oxo group in the structure.Conclusions: The use of inexpensive, eco-friendly and readily available reagents, easy work-up and high purity of products makes the procedure a convenient and robust method for the synthesis of title compounds. The presence of phenolic hydroxyl group, 4-oxo group, and 2,3-double bond in the structure is responsible for their good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

ABSTRACT Judging from the metabolites found in the urine, 1-methyl-androst-1-en-17β-ol-3-one (methenolone) and testosterone are metabolized in a different manner. For further clarification, other derivatives of testosterone with modifications in Ring A were investigated with regard to the oxidation of the 17-hydroxyl group. The production of urinary 17-ketosteroids decreased in the following sequence: testosterone; 1α-methyltestosterone and androstan-17β-ol-3-one; 1β-methyl-androstan-17β-ol-3-one; 2α-methyl-androstan-17β-ol-3-one and androst-1-en-17β-ol-3-one; 1α-methyl-androstan-17β-ol-3-one; 1-methyl-androsta-1,4-dien-17β-ol-3-one; 1,17α-dimethyl-androst-1-en-17β-ol-3-one and 1 -methyl-androst-1 -en-17β-ol-3-one (methenolone). The difference in metabolic degradation is also demonstrated in the fractionation of the urinary ketones. While after the administration of testosterone practically only hydrogenated 17-ketones are observed in the urine, the unchanged compound is still traceable in remarkable quantities after the administration of methenolone, along with minor quantities of the corresponding diketone. Testosterone-metabolites here are absent, whereas they represent the major substances present after the administration of androst-1-en-17β-ol-3-on. Following the administration of 1α-methyltestosterone only hydrogenated 17-ketones are detected which are still partly methylated. The 1-methyl-group and the Δ 1-double-bond seem to be responsible for the inhibition of the oxidation of methenolone in the 17-position. In addition, the hydrogenation of the double-bond and the reduction of the 3-keto-group are inhibited, obviously on account of the same structural peculiarities. The demethylation of methenolone is also inhibited. Any change in the steroid ring system forms a new substrate, thus producing new conditions for the enzymatic attack in the metabolic degradation.

The preparation of ((CH3)2CHS)2AlCH3 and (t-CaH9S)2AlCH3 is reported. The reactions of (RS)2AlCH3 (R = CH3, (CH3)2CH, t-C4H9) with ketones give aldol condensations leading to the corresponding conjugated ketones, with the acetyl group R—CO—CH3; with other ketones, a mixture of thioacetal and enolthioether is obtained. With aldehydes, a mixture of thioacetal and enolthioether is observed. With olefins there is an addition of two RS groups on the site of the double bond, with a small percentage of allylic substitution. With conjugated ketone, the saturated ketone is obtained with the alkylthio group in β position. All those reactions proceed with good yields and appear quite general.

The Simmons-Smith methylenation of the double bond in 3β-acetoxycholest-5-en-7-ols takes place selectively under formation of an adduct the configuration of which is determined by the configuration of the 7-hydroxyl group: 7β-alcohol IV gave 5β,6β-cyclopropane derivative VI, 7α-alcohol V gave 5α,6α-cyclopropane derivative VIII. On photochemically initiated cyclization of 3β-acetoxy-B-homo-5-en-7a-one (XIII) we obtained the product with an α-cyclopropane ring exclusively, i.e. 3β-acetoxy-5,6α-cyclopropano-5α-cholestan-7-one (XII).

AbstractA base-mediated intramolecular hydroalkoxylation that was used to prepare a series of seven-membered S,O-heterocycles is described. 2-Thiopropargyl-3-hydroxymethyl quinolines were prepared starting from 2-mercaptoquinoline-3-carbaldehydes, via S-propargylation and reduction of a formyl group. Interestingly, 2-mercaptopropargyl-3-hydroxymethyl quinolines were converted into the corresponding oxathiepinoquinolines in the presence of t-BuOK. It is proposed that the S-propargyl moiety, in the presence of base, is converted into its allenyl isomer; subsequent addition of a hydroxyl group to the terminal double bond yields the 3-methyl-5H-[1,4]oxathiepino[5,6-b]quinoline in good to high yield. Notably, the procedure is adaptable to the conversion of N-propargyl indole-2-methanol into the corresponding intramolecular hydroalkoxylation product.
