An Efficient One-Step Synthesis of Piperidin-2-yl and Pyrrolidin-2-yl Flavonoid Alkaloids through Phenolic Mannich Reactions

Qian Wang

An efficient one-step synthesis of piperidin-2-yl and pyrrolidin-2-yl flavonoid alkaloids was achieved in good to excellent yields by a highly regioselective phenolic Mannich reaction of chrysin with cyclic imines or iminium salts. Performing the reaction ...

Formal Homo-Nazarov and Other Cyclization Reactions of Activated Cyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Fides Benfatti, Tanguy Jean Daniel Saget, Filippo De Simone

The Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones gives access to cyclopentenones. Replacing one of the vinyl groups by a cyclopropane leads to a formal homo-Nazarov process for the synthesis of cyclohexenones. In contrast to the Nazarov reaction, the cyclization ...

Biologically active secondary metabolites from cyanobacteria

Cyril Portmann

For millennia, nature was the only source of medicine for mankind. Even today natural products represent a large proportion of the drugs in use. In some areas, like cancer or infectious diseases, about 50 % of the compounds used are of natural origin. Cyan ...

The cyanobacterial alkaloid nostocarboline: an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and trypsin

Karl Gademann

Preselected cyanobacterial strains (available from culture collections and our own isolates), belonging primarily to the heterocystous cluster, were screened for inhibitors against butyrylcholinesterase. About one-half of the extracts exhibited inhibitory ...

Directed Biosynthesis of Phytotoxic Alkaloids in the Cyanobacterium Nostoc 78-12A

Karl Gademann, Cyril Portmann

Nostocarboline, a chlorinated and N-methylated carbolinium alkaloid, displays potent and selective inhibition of photoautotrophic organisms as well as the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, while showing very low toxicity to bacterial and fungal patho ...

Secondary Metabolites from Cyanobacteria: Complex Structures and Powerful Bioactivities

Karl Gademann, Cyril Portmann

This review presents natural products from cyanobacteria. Several classes of secondary metabolites are highlighted. Toxic metabolites from these prokaryotic photosynthetic organisms include compounds such as microcystin, anatoxin and saxitoxin, which displ ...

Cyanobacterial Natural Products for the Inhibition of Biofilm Formation and Biofouling

Karl Gademann

Biofouling is defined by the non-specific attachment of biological material (proteins, carbohydrates, prokaryotic cells and higher organisms) to surfaces upon their exposure to any biological fluid. Biofouling is a serious problem in many areas ranging fro ...
