Synthesis
Total synthesis
Migrastatin synthesis is a precursor of isomigrastatin. In order to synthesize isomigrastatin, reagent 11 and 15 need to be prepared. Through LACDAC reaction, Luche reduction, aqueous Ferrier rearrangement and Epoxidation, reagent 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are synthesized to 11. Aldehyde 12 reacts is alkyldenated by Witting reagent 13 to make 14, and 14 is hydrogenated to afford 15.Biosynthesis
In terms of natural product, isomigrastatin is the polyketide that contains the glutarimide.Ma, M., Kwong, T., Lim, S. K., Ju, J., Lohman, J. R., & Shen, B. (2013). Post-polyketide synthase steps in iso-migrastatin biosynthesis, featuring tailoring enzymes with broad substrate specificity. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 135(7), 2489–2492. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja4002635 Biosynthesis of isomigrastatin starts with the PKS product 10 which is derived from S.platensis. PKS product that is lack of methyltransferase domain in module-5, a ketoreductase domain in module-8, and a KR and an enoylreductase domain in module-10 is needed to synthesize intermediate for isomigrastatin. On top of that, four tailoring steps are followed through intermediates. First, hydroxylation at C-8. Second, O-methylation at OHC-8. Third, dehydration at C-17 OH. Last, C-16 and C-17 olefin is reduced. PKS product 10 is then isolated to isomigrastatin.References
