A facile synthesis of D-glucose-type gem-diamine 1-N-iminosugars: a new family of glucosidase inhibitors.

gem-Diamine 1-N iminosugars of D-glucose-type, a new type of glycosidase inhibitors, have been synthesized from siastatin B, isolated from Streptomyces culture. 2-Trifluoroacetamido-1-N-iminosugar, (2S,3R,4R,5R)-2-trifluoroacetamido-5-hydroxymethylpiperidine -3,4-diol was proved to be a potent inhibitor for alpha-D- and beta-D-glucosidases (IC50 1.9x10(-7) and 4.2x10(-7) M, respectively). 2-Acetamido-1-N-iminosugar, (2S,3R,4R,5R)-2-acetamido-5-hydroxymethylpiperidine-3,4-diol also affected these enzymes (IC50 2.9x10(-6) and 5.4x10(-6) M, respectively).     

Synthesis of 1,2-oxygenated 6-arylfurofuran lignan: stereoselective synthesis of (1S,2S,5R,6S)-1-hydroxysamin

(1S,2S,5R,6S)-6-(3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-1,2-diol ((+)-1-hydroxysamin 1) was synthesized, starting from olefin 8. Stereoselective alpha-hydroxylation was achieved after converting 8 to aldehyde 13. Resulting unstable alpha-hydroxy aldehyde 14 was then transformed to (+)-1-hydroxysamin (1). This is a new efficient synthetic route to 1,2-oxygenated 6-arylfurofuran lignans.     

Novel synthesis of cholesterol analogs: condensation of pregnenolone with dihydropyran or dihydrofuran.

Pregnenolone 3-(2'-tetrahydropyranyl) ether (1) was condensed with 3,4-[2H]dihydropyran to mainly give (20R)-[6'-(3',4'-[2'H]dihydropyranyl)]-pregn-5-ene-3 beta,20-diol 3-(2'-tetrahydropyranyl) ether (20R-3), according to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Cold, dilute HCl in ethanol removed the tetrahydropyranyl group at C-3 and also opened the dihydropyranyl ring at the C-20 position of 20R-3 to give (20R)-27-norcholest-5-en-22-one-3 beta,20,26-triol (20R-5). Analogous results were obtained by condensing pregnenolone 3-acetate with 3,4-[2H]dihydropyran to provide (20R)-[6'-(3',4'-[2'H]dihydropyranyl)]-pregn-5-ene-3 beta,20-diol 3-acetate (20R-4). Acid-catalyzed opening of the dihydropyranyl ring at C-20 in 20R-4 yielded 20R-7, which, on acetylation followed by crystallization, provided (20R)-27-norcholest-5-en-22-one-3 beta,20,26-triol 3,26-diacetate (20R-8), identical to the diacetate made from 20R-5. Varying the reaction sequence beginning with 20(R,S)-4 gave an 84:16 ratio of 20R to 20S in a mixture of 20(R,S)-8, according to NMR analysis. Crystallization of the mixture from methanol provided pure 20R-8. Condensing 2,3-dihydrofuran and 1 for producing (20R)-[5'-(2',3'-dihydrofuranyl)]-pregn-5-ene-3 beta,20-diol 3-(2'-tetrahydropyranyl) ether (6) gave instead (20R)-26,27-bisnorcholest-5-en-22-one-3 beta,20,25-triol 3-(2'-tetrahydropyranyl) ether (20R-9) by partial hydrolysis during workup. Treating 20R-9 briefly with dilute HCl produced (20R)-26,27-bisnorcholest-5-en-22-one-3 beta,20,25-triol (20R-10).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Carotenoids with a 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-beta-end group, from yellow sweet potato "Benimasari", Ipomoea batatas Lam

A series of carotenoids with a 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-beta-end group, named ipomoeaxanthins A (1), B (2), C1 (3) and C2 (4) were isolated from the flesh of yellow sweet potato "Benimasari", Ipomoea batatas Lam. Their structures were determined to be (5R,6S,3'R)-5,6-dihydro-beta,beta-carotene-5,6,3'-triol (1), (5R,6S,5'R,6'S)-5,6,5',6'-tetrahydro-beta,beta-carotene-5,6,5'6'-tetrol (2), (5R,6S,5'R,8'R)-5',8'-epoxy-5,6,5',8'-tetrahydro-beta,beta-carotene-5,6-diol (3), and (5R,6S,5'R,8'S)-5',8'-epoxy-5,6,5',8'-tetrahydro-beta,beta-carotene-5,6-diol (4) by UV-Vis, NMR, MS and CD data.     

Synthesis and glycosidase inhibitory activities of 2-(aminoalkyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives

Several 2-(aminomethyl)-and 2-(2-aminoethyl)-pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives have been assayed for their inhibitory activities towards glycosidases. Good inhibitors of alpha-mannosidases must have the (2R,3R,4S) configuration and possess 2-(benzylamino)methyl substituents. Stereomers with the (2S,3R,4S) configuration are also competitive inhibitors of alpha-mannosidases, but less potent as they share the configuration of C(1), C(2), C(3) of beta-D-mannosides rather than that of alpha-D-mannosides. Interestingly, (2S,3R,4S)-2-[2-[(4-phenyl)phenylamino]ethyl]pyrrolidine-3,4-diol (12g) inhibits several enzymes, for instance alpha-L-fucosidase from bovine epididymis (K(i)=6.5microM, competitive), alpha-galactosidase from bovine liver (K(i)=5microM, mixed) and alpha-mannosidase from jack bean (K(i)=102microM, mixed). Diamines such as (2R,3S,4R)-2-[2-(phenylamino) or 2-(benzylamino)ethyl]pyrrolidine-3,4-diol (ent-12a, ent-12b) inhibit beta-glucosidase from almonds (K(i)=13-40microM, competitive).     

Neolignans from mezilaurus itauba

The wood bark of Mezilaurus itauba afforded in addition to seven known neolignans, three new compounds rel-(7R,8R,1′S,3′S)-Δ^5′,8′-5′-methoxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-1′,2′,3′,4′-tetrahydro-2′,4′-dioxo-7.3′,8.1′-neolignan, rel-(7S,8S,1′S, 2′S, 3′R, 4′S)-Δ^8′-2′,4′-dihydroxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-1′,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-hexahydro-5′-oxo-7.3′,8.1′-neolignan and rel-(7S,8S)-Δ^8′-6′-hydroxy 5′-methoxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-7·O·2′,8.3′-neolignan. The latter compound has been detected previously in Aniba terminalis. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and comparison with related compounds.     

Iminosugars: potential inhibitors of liver glycogen phosphorylase

The first synthesis of the single isomers (3R,4R,5R); (3S,4S,5S): (3R,4R,5S) and (3S,4S,5R) of 5-hydroxymethyl-piperidine-3,4-diol from Arecolin is reported, including the synthesis of a series of N-substituted derivatives of the (3R,4R,5R)-isomer (Isofagomine). The inhibitory effect of these isomers as well as of a series of N-substituted derivatives of the (3R,4R,5R)-isomer and selected hydroxypiperidine analogues on liver glycogen phosphorylase (GP) showed that the (3R,4R,5R) configuration was essential for obtaining an inhibitory effect at submicromolar concentration. The results also showed that all three hydroxy groups should be present and could not be substituted, nor were extra OH groups allowed if sub-micromolar inhibition should be obtained. Some inhibitory effect was retained for N-substituted derivatives of Isofagomine; however, N-substitution always resulted in a loss of activity compared to the parent compound, IC50 values ranging from 1 to 100 microM were obtained for simple alkyl, arylalkyl and benzoylmethyl substituents. Furthermore, we found that it was not enough to assure inhibitory effect to have the (R,R,R) configuration. Fagomine, the (2R,3R,4R)-2-hydroxymethylpiperidine-3,4-diol analogue, showed an IC50 value of 200 microM compared to 0.7 microM for Isofagomine. In addition, Isofagomine was able to prevent basal and glucagon stimulated glycogen degradation in cultured hepatocytes with IC50 values of 2-3 microM.     

A practical route to partially protected pyrrolidines as precursors for the stereoselective synthesis of alexines

Either 3-O-benzoyl- (2a) or 3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-fructopyranose (2b) were regioselectively O-benzylated at C-4 to give 4a and 4b, respectively, which were transformed into 5-azido-3-O-benzoyl-4-O-benzyl- (6a) and 5-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-L-sorbopyranose (6b) by nucleophilic displacement of the corresponding 5-O-mesyl derivatives 5a and 5b by sodium azide in DMF, respectively. Compound 6b was also prepared from 4b in one step by the Mitsunobu methodology. Deacetonation of 6a and 6b gave the partially protected free azidouloses 8a and 8b, respectively, that were protected as their 1-O-TBDPS derivatives 9a and 9b. Hydrogenation of 9b over Raney nickel gave stereoselectively (2R,3R,4R,5S)-3,4-dibenzyloxy-2'-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine (12) which was identified by transformation into the well known (2R,3R,4R,5S)-3,4-dihydroxy-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine (1, DGDP).     

Synthesis of alpha-lactosyl-(1-->3)-L-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptopyranoside, a partial oligosaccharide structure expressed within the lipooligosaccharide produced by Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain 15253.

The glycosyl donor, hepta-O-benzyl-beta-lactosyl trichloroacetimidate (4) was prepared by treating hepta-O-benzyl-lactose with trichloroacetonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate. The acceptor, methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-7,8-dideoxy-alpha-D-manno-oct-7-enopyranoside (8) was synthesized by hydrolysis of a 3,4-butane diacetal of methyl L-glycero-alpha-D-manno-oct-enopyranoside and subsequent benzylidenation. Glycosidation of the donor 4 with the acceptor 8 in 1,4-dioxane using Me(3)SiOTf as a promoter for 1 h at room temperature gave methyl (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1-->4)-(2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1-->3)-2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-7,8-dideoxy-alpha-D-manno-oct-7-enopyranoside (9) as a major product (59%). The oct-enopyranoside moiety of the trisaccharide 9 was converted to a heptopyranoside (80%) by oxidative cleavage with OsO(4)-NaIO(4) and subsequent reduction. Hydrogenolysis of the resulting trisaccharide and subsequent acetylation gave the peracetate of alpha-lactosyl-(1-->3)-Hep. Deacetylation of the peracetate afforded the title trisaccharide.

本文对三种毒菌的化学成分进行了研究。从光盖伞(Psilocybe spp)分离鉴定了4个化合物,经波谱分析鉴定为:(22E,24R)-麦角甾-7,22-二烯-3β-十八烷酸酯(1)、β-胡萝卜苷(2)、(22E,24R)-5α,6α-环氧麦角甾-8,22-二烯-3β,7α-二醇(3)、色氨酸(4);从假褐云斑鹅膏(Amanita pseudoporphyria)分离鉴定了4个化合物:(22E,24R)-3β-羟基-5α,8α-过氧化麦角甾-6,22-二烯(5)、(22E,24R)-麦角甾-7,22-二烯-3β,5α,6β-三醇(6)、1-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基-(2S,3R,4E,8E,2′R)-2-N-(2′-羟基棕榈酰)-9-甲基-4,8-脱氢鞘氨醇(7)、1-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基-(2S,3R,4E,8E,2′R)-2-N-(2′-羟基十八烷酰)-9-甲基-4,8-脱氢鞘氨醇(8);大青褶伞(Chlorophyllum molybdites)发酵菌丝体分离鉴定了4个化合物:5、6、(22E,24R)-5α,6α-环氧麦角甾-8(14),22-二烯-3β,7α-二醇(9)、(22E,24R)-麦角甾-7,22-二烯-3β-醇(10)。除化合物9外其它化合物均为首次从以上相应毒菌中分离得到。     

Inhibitory effect on NO production of phenolic compounds from Myristica fragrans

Three new phenolics: ((7S)-8'-(benzo[3',4']dioxol-1'-yl)-7-hydroxypropyl)benzene-2,4-diol (1), ((7S)-8'-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-7-hydroxypropyl)benzene-2,4-diol (2) and ((8R,8'S)-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-8'-methylbutan-8-yl)-3'-methoxybenzene-4',5'-diol (3), along with four known compounds (4-7) were isolated from the seeds of Myristica fragrans. Their chemical structures were established mainly by 1D and 2D NMR techniques and mass spectrometry. Their anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated against LPS-induced NO production in macrophage RAW264.7 cells.     

Intercalation of the (1S,2R,3S,4R)-N6-[1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,3, 4-trihydroxybenz[a]anthracenyl)]-2'-deoxyadenosyl adduct in an oligodeoxynucleotide containing the human N-ras codon 61 sequence

The (1S,2R,3S,4R)-N(6)-[1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,3, 4-trihydroxybenz[a]anthracenyl)]-2'-deoxyadenosyl adduct at X6 of 5'-d(CGGACXAGAAG)-3'.5'-d(CTTCTTGTCCG)-3', incorporating codons 60, 61 (underlined), and 62 of the human N-ras protooncogene, results from trans opening of (1R,2S,3S,4R)-1,2-epoxy-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydrobenz[a]anthracenyl-3,4-diol by the exocyclic N6 of adenine. Two conformations of this adduct exist, in slow exchange on the NMR time scale. A structure for the major conformation, which represents approximately 80% of the population, is presented. In this conformation, an anti glycosidic torsion angle is observed for all nucleotides, including S,R,S,RA6. The refined structure is a right-handed duplex, with the benz[a]anthracene moiety intercalated on the 3'-face of the modified base pair, from the major groove. It is located between S,R,S,RA6.T17 and A7.T16. Intercalation is on the opposite face of the modified S,R,S,RA6.T17 base pair as compared to the (1R,2S,3R,4S)-N6-[1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2, 3,4-trihydroxybenz[a]anthracenyl)]-2'-deoxyadenosyl adduct, which intercalated 5' to the modified R,S,R,SA6.T17 base pair [Li, Z. , Mao, H., Kim, H.-Y., Tamura, P. J., Harris, C. M., Harris, T. M., and Stone, M. P. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 2969-2981]. The spectroscopic data do not allow refinement of the minor conformation, but suggest that the adenyl moiety in the modified nucleoti111S,R, S,RA6 adopts a syn glycosidic torsion angle. Thus, the minor conformation may create greater distortion of the DNA duplex. The results are discussed in the context of site-specific mutagenesis studies which reveal that the S,R,S,RA6 lesion is less mutagenic than the R,S,R,SA6 lesion.     

Synthesis of [(2S,3S,4R)-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidin-2-yl]-5-methylfuran-4-carboxylic acid derivatives: new leads as selective beta-galactosidase inhibitors

The preparation of [(2S,3S,4R)-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidin-2-yl]furan derivatives in a stereoselective route starting from D-glucose and ethyl acetoacetate is presented. Ethyl ester (6), N,N-diethylamide (7) and N-isopropylamide (8) have been tested towards 25 glycosidases. Ester (6) is a selective inhibitor of beta-galactosidases. The new compounds represent a new type of imino-C-nucleoside analogues.     

The ubiquitous aldehyde reductase (AKR1A1) oxidizes proximate carcinogen trans-dihydrodiols to o-quinones: potential role in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon activation

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are metabolized to trans-dihydrodiol proximate carcinogens by human epoxide hydrolase (EH) and CYP1A1. Human dihydrodiol dehydrogenase isoforms (AKR1C1-AKR1C4), members of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily, activate trans-dihydrodiols by converting them to reactive and redox-active o-quinones. We now show that the constitutively and widely expressed human AKR, aldehyde reductase (AKR1A1), will oxidize potent proximate carcinogen trans-dihydrodiols to their corresponding o-quinones. cDNA encoding AKR1A1 was isolated from HepG2 cells, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity, and characterized. AKR1A1 oxidized the potent proximate carcinogen (+/-)-trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene with a higher utilization ratio (V(max)/K(m)) than any other human AKR. AKR1A1 also displayed a high V(max)/K(m) for the oxidation of 5-methylchrysene-7,8-diol, benz[a]anthracene-3,4-diol, 7-methylbenz[a]anthracene-3,4-diol, and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-3,4-diol. AKR1A1 displayed rigid regioselectivity by preferentially oxidizing non-K-region trans-dihydrodiols. The enzyme was stereoselective and oxidized 50% of each racemic PAH trans-dihydrodiol tested. The absolute stereochemistries of the reactions were assigned by circular dichroism spectrometry. AKR1A1 preferentially oxidized the metabolically relevant (-)-benzo[a]pyrene-7(R),8(R)-dihydrodiol. AKR1A1 also preferred (-)-benz[a]anthracene-3(R),4(R)-dihydrodiol, (+)-7-methylbenz[a]anthracene-3(S),4(S)-dihydrodiol, and (-)-7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-3(R),4(R)-dihydrodiol. The product of the AKR1A1-catalyzed oxidation of (+/-)-trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene was trapped with 2-mercaptoethanol and characterized as a thioether conjugate of benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dione by LC/MS. Multiple human tissue expression array analysis showed coexpression of AKR1A1, CYP1A1, and EH, indicating that trans-dihydrodiol substrates are formed in the same tissues in which AKR1A1 is expressed. The ability of this general metabolic enzyme to divert trans-dihydrodiols to o-quinones suggests that this pathway of PAH activation may be widespread in human tissues.     

Double-headed acyclo C-nucleoside analogues. Functionalized 1,2-bis-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)ethane-1,2-diol

Reaction of L-tartaric acid with thiocarbohydcrazide afforded (1R, 2S)-1,2-bis(4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-ethane-1,2-diol (3). The functional groups in 3 allowed the construction of fused heterocycles on the 1,2,4-triazole rings, mainly of the 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine type as in 4, 5, 7, 10, 13 and 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole type as in 14.     

Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL14 contains a novel degradation pathway for limonene

Strain DCL14, which is able to grow on limonene as a sole source of carbon and energy, was isolated from a freshwater sediment sample. This organism was identified as a strain of Rhodococcus erythropolis by chemotaxonomic and genetic studies. R. erythropolis DCL14 also assimilated the terpenes limonene-1,2-epoxide, limonene-1,2-diol, carveol, carvone, and (-)-menthol, while perillyl alcohol was not utilized as a carbon and energy source. Induction tests with cells grown on limonene revealed that the oxygen consumption rates with limonene-1,2-epoxide, limonene-1,2-diol, 1-hydroxy-2-oxolimonene, and carveol were high. Limonene-induced cells of R. erythropolis DCL14 contained the following four novel enzymatic activities involved in the limonene degradation pathway of this microorganism: a flavin adenine dinucleotide- and NADH-dependent limonene 1, 2-monooxygenase activity, a cofactor-independent limonene-1, 2-epoxide hydrolase activity, a dichlorophenolindophenol-dependent limonene-1,2-diol dehydrogenase activity, and an NADPH-dependent 1-hydroxy-2-oxolimonene 1,2-monooxygenase activity. Product accumulation studies showed that (1S,2S,4R)-limonene-1,2-diol, (1S, 4R)-1-hydroxy-2-oxolimonene, and (3R)-3-isopropenyl-6-oxoheptanoate were intermediates in the (4R)-limonene degradation pathway. The opposite enantiomers [(1R,2R,4S)-limonene-1,2-diol, (1R, 4S)-1-hydroxy-2-oxolimonene, and (3S)-3-isopropenyl-6-oxoheptanoate] were found in the (4S)-limonene degradation pathway, while accumulation of (1R,2S,4S)-limonene-1,2-diol from (4S)-limonene was also observed. These results show that R. erythropolis DCL14 metabolizes both enantiomers of limonene via a novel degradation pathway that starts with epoxidation at the 1,2 double bond forming limonene-1,2-epoxide. This epoxide is subsequently converted to limonene-1,2-diol, 1-hydroxy-2-oxolimonene, and 7-hydroxy-4-isopropenyl-7-methyl-2-oxo-oxepanone. This lactone spontaneously rearranges to form 3-isopropenyl-6-oxoheptanoate. In the presence of coenzyme A and ATP this acid is converted further, and this finding, together with the high levels of isocitrate lyase activity in extracts of limonene-grown cells, suggests that further degradation takes place via the beta-oxidation pathway.     

Derivatives of (2R,3R,4S)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine-3,4-diol are selective alpha-mannosidase inhibitors.

A collection of (2R,3R,4S)-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidin-2-yl derivatives have been tested for their inhibitory activities toward 25 glycosidases. Competitive (K(i)=7.4 microM) and selective inhibition of alpha-mannosidase from jack bean has been found for (2R,3R,4S)-2-[(benzylamino)methyl]pyrrolidine-3,4-diol and other derivatives.     

Benzofuranoid Neolignans from Piper kadsura

In a continuing research for neolignans from Piper kadsura (Choisy) Ohwi, six benzofuranoid neolignans were isolated from the aerial part of the plant. Their structure determination were based on the spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, MS, NMR and CD) and derivative synthesis. Three of the isolated compounds were identified as new structures: 7R, 8R, 1′S-△8′-3, 4-methylenedioxy-5′-methoxy-l′, 4′-dihydro-4′-oxo-7, 0, 2′, 8. l′-neolignan ( Ⅰ ), 7 R, 8 R, 1 ′ R- △8′ - 3,4- methylenedioxy- 1 ′- methoxy - 1′,6′- dihydro- 6′- oxo- 7.0.4′,8. 3′-neolignan (Ⅳ) and 7R, 8R, 1′S-△8′-3, 4-methylenedioxy-l′-methoxy-1′,6′-dihydro-6′-oxo-7.0.4′,8.3′-neolignan (Ⅴ). Known compounds among them are 7R, 8S,1′S-△8′-3, 4-methylenedioxy-5′-methoxy-1′, 4′-dihydro-4′-oxo-7. 0. 2′, 8. 1′-neolignan(Ⅱ), 7S, 8S, 1′R-△8′-3, 4, 5′-trimethoxy-1′, 4′-dihydro-4′-oxo-7.0. 2′, 8. 1′-neolignan (Ⅲ) and 75, 85, 1′S-△8′-3, 4, l′-trimethoxy-l′, 6′-dihydro-6′-oxo-7. 0. 4′, 8. 3′-neolignans (Ⅵ). All of them were isolated from the plant for the first time.     

Biosynthesis of theobroxide and its related compounds, metabolites of Lasiodiplodia theobromae

Administration of (13)C labeled acetates ([1-(13)C], [2-(13)C] and [1,2-(13)C(2)] to Lasiodiplodia theobromae showed the tetraketide origins of both theobroxide, a potato-tuber inducing substance [1, (1S, 2R, 5S, 6R)-3-methyl-7-oxa-bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-en-2,5-diol]) and its carbonyldioxy derivative [2, (1S, 4R, 5S, 6R)-7,9-dioxa-3-methyl-8-oxobicyclo [4.3.0]-2-nonene-4,5-diol]. The incorporation of acetate-derived hydrogen into 1 and 2 was studied using [2-(2)H(3), 2-(13)C]acetate. Three and one deuterium atoms were incorporated at one methyl and epoxy carbons, respectively. The observed loss of deuterium atoms from the methyl group suggests a considerable amount of exchange from the methyl group of [2-(2)H(3), 2-(13)C]acetate during biosynthesis of 1 and 2. Incorporation of [1-(13)C]- and [1,2-(13)C(2)]acetates indicates the carbonyl carbon of the carbonyldioxy derivative is derived from the carboxy carbon of the precursor.
