Abstract

Diterpenes are a structural class of molecules that are derived from four isoprene subunits and are widespread throughout nature. A number of neoclerodane diterpenes have been found to have biological activity but a limited number of chemical investigations have been conducted. Recently, the neoclerodane diterpene, salvinorin A (12) has been investigated due to its unique pharmacological profile. This review will discuss the chemical methods used to chemically modify and synthesize 12.

      Additionally, it ameliorated obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, weight gain and other lipid parameters in obese C57BL/6 mice [240]. Although several approaches have been reported for the synthesis of clerodane and related diterpenes [241–243], but only three describe the synthesis of 40. Hagiwara et al. (1995) described the first total synthesis of 40 starting from an enantiomerically pure decalone [244].

      It is the diterpene salvinorin A that is responsible for the bioactivity in Salvia divinorum and which are also considered to be potential lead compounds in pharmaceutical research. Clerodanes are a structural class of diterpenes, which contain four contiguous stereo-centers contained in a cis or trans decalin (Lozama and Prisinzano, 2009). Neoclerodane diterpenes, a term originally coined in 1979 (Hanson, 2010), are a subtype of clerodanes, which have a carbon skeleton with the same absolute sterochemistry as clerodin, a bitter principle originally extracted from Clerodendron infortunatum Bhat.

      Citation Excerpt :

      It was envisioned that this alteration would further investigate the amount of structural flexibility tolerated at the binding site of KOP receptors for neoclerodanes. Inversion of this center is synthetically challenging as 1 is a highly functionalized neoclerodane diterpene and has shown sensitivity to both acids and bases,31 however, 3 was synthesized by Béguin et al. in several steps and 19% overall yield.32 NMR and independent X-ray crystallographic data (see Supplementary data) were consistent with the previous report.
