A series of analogues ofPseudonocardiasp. natural products were synthesized, which have been reported to possess potent antibacterial activity againstHelicobacter pyloriand induce growth defects inEscherichia coliandStaphylococcus aureus. Taking inspiration from a methodology used in our total synthesis of natural products, we applied this methodology to access analogues possessing bulky N-substituents, traditionally considered to be challenging scaffolds. Screening of the library provided valuable insights into the structure–activity relationship of the bacterial growth defects, and suggested that selectivity between bacterial species should be attainable. Furthermore, a structurally related series of analogues was observed to inhibit production of the virulence factor pyocyanin in the human pathogenPseudomonas aeruginosa, which may be a result of their similarity to thePseudomonasquinolone signal (PQS) quorum sensing autoinducer. This provided new insights regarding the effect of N-substitution in PQS analogues, which has been hitherto underexplored.

This article reviews studies regarding the total synthesis of phaeosphaerides A and B, nitrogen-containing bicyclic natural products isolated from an endophytic fungus. Numerous synthetic efforts and an X-ray crystal structure analysis of phaeosphaeride A have enabled revision of its originally proposed structure. In addition, a successful protic acid-mediated transformation of phaeosphaeride A to phaeosphaeride B revealed the hypothetical biosynthesis of phaeosphaeride B from phaeosphaeride A. Structure–activity relationship studies of phaeosphaeride derivatives are also discussed.

: The substantial antimitotic potential of podophyllotoxin and its derivatives has attracted both synthetic and medicinal chemists to expand the chemical space for the subsequent biological evaluation of these compounds. The interest ranges from total synthesis, hemi-synthesis, one-pot synthetic approaches and structure-activity relationship studies. In the first segment of the review, we present recent development in the synthesis of podophyllotoxin and also describe its mode of action. The second section covers the synthesis and the structure-activity relationships of podophyllotoxin derivatives, along with the discussion of important structural features required by the molecule for displaying antimitotic activity. The last part describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of potent 4-aza podophyllotoxin derivatives. This review is of interest to chemists who study natural and synthetic compounds for drug discovery.
