Abstract:
Crude extracts of the rare macrofungus Serpula sp. collected from a wooded area in Sri Lanka showed antimicrobial activity. The novel fungal metabolite serpulanine (2.1) was isolated from the crude extract in very small amounts along with a number of additional secondary metabolites. In order to obtain sufficient quantities of serpulanine (2.1) for biological evaluation, a synthetic route was developed to the natural product and a small library of analogs that have been evaluated in a panel of bioassays. Serpulanine (2.1) inhibits the histone deacetylase I/II with a clear dose response curve.

A convergent approach was applied to the synthesis of a range of Xanthomonas pigments and a number of selected analogues, with a view to understanding more about their photoprotective properties, and utilising the group’s iterative Heck-Mizoroki/ iododeboronation cross-coupling methodology to access polyenyl intermediates. This involved the synthesis of a number of key arenyl building blocks. Three polyenyl building blocks were accessed via sequential Heck-Mizoroki and iododeboronation reactions, providing flexibility in the construction of the pigments and their analogues.

Abstract:
Polyketide secondary metabolites constitute a structurally-diverse and clinically-important family of natural products. The wide range of biological activities represented by these substrates have contributed to therapeutic agents with annual sales exceeding $20B USD. Large multi-domain proteins called polyketide synthases (PKSs) use simple building blocks to generate highly-oxygenated and stereochemically-rich frameworks with astonishing selectivity. These substrates often feature rigidifying biases imposed by macrocyclic lactones and substituted heterocycles, which can impact their bioactive

Investigations into radical and palladium(0) cyclisations onto the C-2 position of the 3H-quinazolin-4-one moiety have been made. This has led to the syntheses of a number of biologically active quinazolinone natural products using alkyl, heteroaryl and acyl radical cyclisations. The reactions proceeded via a homolytic aromatic substitution mechanism. As such, fully rearomatised products were recovered. A C-2 radical 3H-quinazolin-4-one building block was also prepared.
