Stereoselective Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity of Steviol-Based Diterpene 1,3-Aminoalcohol Regioisomers

A series of novel diterpene-type 1,3-aminoalcohols and their regioisomers have been synthesised from natural stevioside in a stereoselective manner. The key intermediate β-keto alcohol was prepared using Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement of the epoxide derived from steviol methyl ester. The primary amin...

description A series of novel diterpene-type 1,3-aminoalcohols and their regioisomers have been synthesised from natural stevioside in a stereoselective manner. The key intermediate β-keto alcohol was prepared using Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement of the epoxide derived from steviol methyl ester. The primary aminoalcohol was formed via Raney-nickel-catalysed hydrogenation of an oxime, and a versatile library of aminoalcohols was synthesised using a Schiff base with the primary amines. The aminoalcohol regioisomers were prepared from the mesylate of the β-keto alcohols. The corresponding primary aminoalcohol was formed via the palladium-catalysed hydrogenation of hydroxyl-azide, and click reactions of the latter were also carried out. The new compounds were characterised using 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques and HRMS measurements. The in vitro investigations showed high inhibition of cell growth in human cancer cell lines (HeLa, SiHa, A2780, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) in the case of naphthalic <i>N</i>-substituted derivatives. The antiproliferative effects were assayed using the MTT method.
