Abstract
C4-C9 bridged epothilone analogs were computationally designed to derive experimental evidence for the recently proposed EC binding model of epothilone A in the tubulin binding site. Two generations of synthetic routes toward the target molecule were devised and implemented. The first generation synthesis based on macrolactonization and ring-closing metathesis failed to deliver the desired target molecule presumably due to the difficulty of esterification of the C9-OH group. The second generation synthesis based on B-alkyl Suzuki coupling and macrolactonization provided the precursor to the desired C4-C9 bridged epthilone D analog. However, upon global deprotection, an unexpected Michael addition between the C-3 OH group and the unsaturated macrolactone bridge led to formation of additional THF ring in the resulting bridged epothilone D and B analogs. The biological evaluation of the two bridged epothilone analogs indicated that they are 150 and 300 times less active than Taxol®, respectively.
