Abstract
The synthesis and conformational properties of oligo-proline mimetics composed of dimeric and tetrameric Pro-Cyp constructs linked by a hydroxymethylene unit are reported. Oligomers were studied both in the solid state and in solution, unveiling right-handed helical conformation depending on the configuration of the vicinally substituted trans-cyclopentane carboxylic acid unit (Cyp). Unlike polyproline oligomers, the alternating synthetic Pro-Cyp counterparts are not stabilized by n-π* interactions but rely instead on the steric demands of the extended backbone conformation within the hydroxymethylene-linked Pro-Cyp repeating units.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of two novel azaperhydroazulene tropane-hederacine chimeras A and B, which contain an 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring and a 7-azabicyclo[4.1.1]octane ring, respectively. The synthesis of both chimeras was achieved by epoxide ring opening and was governed by the stereochemistry of the hydroxy-epoxide unit. Finally, a density functional theory study was conducted to explain the regioselectivity of the cyclization and the importance of the stereochemistry of the hydroxyl group.

Abstract
We recently described a chemical strategy to pre-organize a trinucleotide subunit in a conformation suitable for Watson-Crick base pairing for modulating the binding kinetics of single-stranded oligonucleotides (ONs) using bis-phosphonate esters bridging hydrocarbon tethers to provide 11- and 15-membered macrocyclic analogues. In this manuscript, we describe the synthesis of all eight P-stereoisomers of macrocyclic 12-, 13-, 14-, and 16-membered hydrocarbon-bridged nucleotide trimers, their incorporation into ONs, and biophysical characterization of the modified ONs. The size of the macrocyclic tether and configuration at phosphorus had profound effects on hybridization kinetics. ONs containing 12- and 13-membered rings exhibited faster on-rates (up to 5-fold) and off-rates (up to 161-fold). In contrast, ONs using the larger ring size macrocycles generally exhibited smaller changes in binding kinetics relative to unmodified DNA. Interestingly, several of the analogues retained significant binding affinity for RNA based on their dissociation constants, despite being modestly destabilizing in the thermal denaturation experiments, highlighting the potential utility of measuring dissociation constants versus duplex thermal stability when evaluating novel nucleic acid analogues. Overall, our results provide additional insights into the ability of backbone-constrained macrocyclic nucleic acid analogues to modulate hybridization kinetics of modified ONs with RNA.

Abstract
Inefficient endosomal escape remains the primary barrier to the broad application of oligonucleotide therapeutics. Liver uptake after systemic administration is sufficiently robust that a therapeutic effect can be achieved but targeting extrahepatic tissues remains challenging. Prior attempts to improve oligonucleotide activity using small molecules that increase the leakiness of endosomes have failed due to unacceptable toxicity. Here, we show that the well-tolerated and orally bioavailable synthetic sphingolipid analog, SH-BC-893, increases the activity of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) up to 200-fold in vitro without permeabilizing endosomes. SH-BC-893 treatment trapped endocytosed oligonucleotides within extra-lysosomal compartments thought to be more permeable due to frequent membrane fission and fusion events. Simultaneous disruption of ARF6-dependent endocytic recycling and PIKfyve-dependent lysosomal fusion was necessary and sufficient for SH-BC-893 to increase non-lysosomal oligonucleotide levels and enhance their activity. In mice, oral administration of SH-BC-893 increased ASO potency in the liver by 15-fold without toxicity. More importantly, SH-BC-893 enabled target RNA knockdown in the CNS and lungs of mice treated subcutaneously with cholesterol-functionalized duplexed oligonucleotides or unmodified ASOs, respectively. Together, these results establish the feasibility of using a small molecule that disrupts endolysosomal trafficking to improve the activity of oligonucleotides in extrahepatic tissues.

Abstract
Polygonapholine was isolated in 1997 from the Polygonatum alte-lobatum rhizome. Based on spectroscopic data, it was assigned a structure comprising an unusual cis-2,6-disubstituted bis-aryl morpholine ring to which is attached a (Z)-4-hydroxycinnamate as an amide and an (E)-4-hydroxycinnamate as an ester. Being a meso compound, polygonapholine should not exhibit an optical rotation as reported. A total synthesis of the purported morpholine alkaloid presented herein reveals discrepancies between the synthetic and the natural product casting doubt on the originally proposed structure.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis of a series of 3-t-butyl 5-aminopyrazole p-substituted arylamides as inhibitors of serine-threonine25 (STK25), an enzyme implicated in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Appending a p-N-pyrrolidinosulphonamide group to the arylamide group led to a 'first-in kind' inhibitor with IC50=228nM. A co-crystal structure with STK 25 revealed productive interactions which were also reproduced using molecular docking. A new series of triazolo dihydro oxazine carboxamides of 3-t-butyl 5-aminopyrazole was not active against STK25.

Abstract
We communicate a versatile synthetic approach to C-3 disubstituted 2-oxa-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes as carbon-atom bridged morpholines, starting with 4R-hydroxy-l-proline as a chiron. Attaching an acetic acid moiety on the C-3 carbon of the 2-oxa-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane core reveals the framework of an embedded γ-amino butyric acid (GABA). Variations in the nature of the substituent on the tertiary C-3 atom with different alkyls or aryls led to backbone-constrained analogues of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs baclofen and pregabalin.

Abstract
6-Azidotetrazolo[5,1-a]phthalazine (ATPH) is a nitrogen-rich compound of surprisingly broad interest. It is purported to be a natural product, yet it is closely related to substances developed as explosives and is highly polymorphic despite having a nearly planar structure with little flexibility. Seven solid forms of ATPH have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures show diverse patterns of molecular organization, including both stacked sheets and herringbone packing. In all cases, N···N and C-H···N interactions play key roles in ensuring molecular cohesion. The high polymorphism of ATPH appears to arise in part from the ability of virtually every atom of nitrogen and hydrogen in the molecule to take part in close N···N and C-H···N contacts. As a result, adjacent molecules can adopt many different relative orientations that are energetically similar, thereby generating a polymorphic landscape with an unusually high density of potential structures. This landscape has been explored in detail by the computational prediction of crystal structures. Studying ATPH has provided insights into the field of energetic materials, where access to multiple polymorphs can be used to improve performance and clarify how it depends on molecular packing. In addition, our work with ATPH shows how valuable insights into molecular crystallization, often gleaned from statistical analyses of structural databases, can also come from in-depth empirical and theoretical studies of single compounds that show distinctive behavior.

Abstract
The binding affinity of therapeutic oligonucleotides (ONs) for their cognate RNA is determined by the rates of association (ka) and dissociation (kd). Single-stranded ONs are highly flexible and can adopt multiple conformations in solution, some of which may not be conducive for hybridization. We investigated if restricting rotation around the sugar-phosphate backbone, by tethering two adjacent backbone phosphonate esters using hydrocarbon bridges, can modulate hybridization kinetics of the modified ONs for complementary RNA. Given the large number of possible analogues with different tether lengths and configurations at the phosphorus atoms, we employed molecular dynamic simulations to optimize the size of the hydrocarbon bridge to guide the synthetic efforts. The backbone-constrained nucleotide trimers with stereodefined configurations at the contiguous backbone phosphorus atoms were assembled using a ring-closing metathesis reaction, then incorporated into oligonucleotides by an in situ synthesis of the phosphoramidites followed by coupling to solid supports. Evaluation of the modified oligonucleotides revealed that 15-membered macrocyclic-constrained analogues displayed similar or slightly improved on-rates but significantly increased off-rates compared to unmodified DNA ONs, resulting in reduced duplex stability. In contrast, LNA ONs with conformationally preorganized furanose rings showed similar on-rates to DNA ONs but very slow off-rates, resulting in net improvement in duplex stability. Furthermore, the experimental data generally supported the molecular dynamics simulation results, suggesting that this strategy can be used as a predictive tool for designing the next generation of constrained backbone ON analogues with improved hybridization properties.

Abstract
We report a computational investigation of two reaction cascades occurring following the Claisen rearrangements of aryl propargyl ethers to the alternate ortho positions in unsymmetrical reactants. Our computations explain how substituents influence reactivity and regioselectivity. Rearrangement to the substituted ortho carbon leads to a tricyclo[3.2.1.0]octane core, while rearrangement to an unsubstituted ortho carbon leads to a benzopyran. Density functional theory with ωB97X-D indicates that these reactions involve rate-determining Claisen rearrangements followed by subsequent reaction cascades of the Claisen rearrangement products depending on the presence or absence of a substituent at the ortho carbon.

Abstract
Stereocontrolled methods are described for the synthesis of hitherto unreported pseudodiproline dimers in which a cyclopentane carboxylic acid is linked to a pyrrolidine residue by a stereochemically defined hydroxymethylene tether. These proline-cyclopentane (Pro-Cyp) dimers have interesting structural characteristics as seen in their X-ray crystal structures as well as their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra in CDCl3. They can be considered to be novel Pro-Pro mimetics, which can be used to replace natural diproline sequences with potential applications in medicinal chemistry. They also represent a new concept in the peptidomimetic design of chimeric proline-based amino acids as carbocyclic hydroxyethylene isosteres of inhibitor molecules, in which the stereodefined bridging hydroxyl group can simulate a tetrahedral intermediate in an enzyme complex.

Abstract
Ceramide-induced mitochondrial fission drives high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. However, molecules targeting mitochondrial dynamics have shown limited benefits in murine obesity models. Here, we reveal that these compounds are either unable to block ceramide-induced mitochondrial fission or require extended incubation periods to be effective. In contrast, targeting endolysosomal trafficking events important for mitochondrial fission rapidly and robustly prevented ceramide-induced disruptions in mitochondrial form and function. By simultaneously inhibiting ARF6- and PIKfyve-dependent trafficking events, the synthetic sphingolipid SH-BC-893 blocked palmitate- and ceramide-induced mitochondrial fission, preserved mitochondrial function, and prevented ER stress in vitro. Similar benefits were observed in the tissues of HFD-fed mice. Within 4 h of oral administration, SH-BC-893 normalized mitochondrial morphology in the livers and brains of HFD-fed mice, improved mitochondrial function in white adipose tissue, and corrected aberrant plasma leptin and adiponectin levels. As an interventional agent, SH-BC-893 restored normal body weight, glucose disposal, and hepatic lipid levels in mice consuming a HFD. In sum, the sphingolipid analog SH-BC-893 robustly and acutely blocks ceramide-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, correcting diet-induced obesity and its metabolic sequelae.

Abstract
A series of 2- and 3-pyridyl sulfonate and tosylate esters of primary and secondary alcohols were synthesized and evaluated in the bromination reaction with MgBr2·Et2O. The greater coordinating ability of the 2-pyridyl sulfonate esters accounted for its observed superior reactivity and selectivity. Reaction of neopentyl and phenyl 2-pyridyl sulfonates with a variety of aryl and heteroaryl Li reagents led to 2-substituted pyridines at temperatures as low as −78 °C via an SNAr process. Mechanistic considerations are discussed.

Abstract
Naturally occurring isoquinolones have gained considerable attention over the years for their bioactive properties. While the late-stage introduction of various functionalities at certain positions, namely, C-3, C-4, and C-8, has been widely documented, the straightforward introduction of challenging sp3 carbon-linked acyclic aminoalkyl or aza- and oxacyclic appendages at C-6 and C-7 remains largely underexplored. Interest in 6-substituted azacyclic analogues has recently garnered attention in connection with derivatives exhibiting anticancer activity. Reported here is the first application of the versatile and recently emerging field of Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reactions to the synthesis of 6- and 7- hetero(cyclo)alkyl-substituted isoquinolones. In a second and complementary approach, a new set of C-6- and C-7-substituted positional isomers of hetero(cyclo)alkyl appendages were obtained from the merging of photocatalytic and Ni-catalyzed coupling reactions. In both cases, 6- and 7-bromo isoquinolones served as dual-purpose reacting partners with readily available tosylates and carboxylic acids, respectively.

Abstract
A practical two-step synthesis of N,N'-disubstituted cyanamides consists in the low-temperature metalation of N-substituted 5H-tetrazoles that undergo spontaneous cycloreversion at 0 °C releasing dinitrogen, and forming N-metalated cyanamides that can be reacted in situ with a variety of electrophiles. Remarkably, the N-substituted Li and K cyanamides are air stable white solids at room temperature. Addition of lithium organometallics to the N,N'-disubstituted cyanamides provides a new method for accessing N,N'-disubstituted amidines.

Abstract
A series of alkyl and alkenyl p-methoxy arenes containing α,β-disubstituted diamino and amino alcohol groups were synthesized from β-nitro and β-azido benzylic alcohols in the presence of AuCl3 as catalyst. The formation of predominantly syn-disubstituted products were rationalized on the basis of mechanistic considerations and transition state models relying on A1,3-allylic strain. The products could have utility in the design of medicinally relevant compounds and as chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis. A new synthesis of (+)-sertraline (Zoloft) was achieved.

Abstract

We revised the previously assigned stereochemistry of (+)-cephafortin A, which was reported as the enantiomer. Natural and unnatural congeners provide insights into the biogenetic interrelations of members of this family.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of two novel bridged morpholine-proline chimeras 4 and 5, which represent rigid conformationally locked three-dimensional structures wherein the lone pairs of electrons on oxygen and nitrogen are oriented in spatially different "east-west" and "north-west" directions, respectively. In combination with the presence of a carboxylic acid, the electronic features of these compounds may be useful in the context of peptidomimetic design of biologically relevant compounds. Quantitative estimates of the basicity of the nitrogen atoms were obtained using conceptual density functional theory analysis.

We report the synthesis and biophysical evaluation of an azabicycle dinucleotide with restricted γ, β, and ε torsion angles, featuring the introduction of a piperidine ring that locks the conformation of the nucleoside into an RNA-type nucleic acid. The conceptual basis of the design is predicated upon the notion that the conformation of the phosphate group linking two RNA nucleotides can be approximated with an azabicyclic phosphoramidite which may also benefit from a unique stereoelectronic effect.

Abstract
The anti-neoplastic sphingolipid analog SH-BC-893 starves cancer cells to death by down-regulating cell surface nutrient transporters and blocking lysosomal trafficking events. These effects are mediated by the activation of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). To identify putative PP2A substrates, we used quantitative phosphoproteomics to profile the temporal changes in protein phosphorylation in FL5.12 cells following incubation with SH-BC-893 or the specific PP2A inhibitor LB-100. These analyses enabled the profiling of more than 15,000 phosphorylation sites, of which 958 sites on 644 proteins were dynamically regulated. We identified 114 putative PP2A substrates including several nutrient transporter proteins, GTPase regulators (e.g. Agap2, Git1), and proteins associated with actin cytoskeletal remodeling (e.g. Vim, Pxn). To identify SH-BC-893-induced cell signaling events that disrupt lysosomal trafficking, we compared phosphorylation profiles in cells treated with SH-BC-893 or C2-ceramide, a non-vacuolating sphingolipid that does not impair lysosomal fusion. These analyses combined with functional assays uncovered the differential regulation of Akt and Gsk3b by SH-BC-893 (vacuolating) and C2-ceramide (non-vacuolating). Dynamic phosphoproteomics of cells treated with compounds affecting PP2A activity thus enabled the correlation of cell signaling with phenotypes to rationalize their mode of action.

Abstract
The synthesis of constrained nucleosides has become an important tool to understand the SAR in the interaction between biological and synthetic nucleotides in the context of antisense oligonucleotide therapy. The incorporation of a cyclopropane into a furanose ring of a nucleoside induces some degree of constrain without affecting significantly the steric environment of a nucleoside. Here, we report a new, short and stereocontrolled synthesis of two constrained nucleosides analogues, 1',2'- methano-2',3'-dideoxyuridine 9, and the corresponding cytidine analog 12. X-ray crystallography revealed that the furanose ring in the constrained uridine and cytidine analogues was flattened with virtual loss of pseudorotation. The phosphoramidate esters of the novel constrained uridine and cytidine nucleosides, intended as prodrugs, were tested in cell-based assays for viral replication across the herpes virus family and HIV inhibition courtesy of Merck laboratories, Rahway. They were also tested in antiproliferative assays against colorectal and melanoma cell lines. Unfortunately, none of the compounds showed activity in these assays.

Abstract
A series of compounds containing pyrrolidine and pyrrolizidine cores with appended hydrophobic substituents were prepared as constrained analogs of FTY720 and phytosphingosine. The effect of these compounds on the viability of cancer cells, on downregulation of the nutrient transport systems, and on their ability to cause vacuolation was studied. An attempt to inhibit HDACs with some phosphate esters of our analogs was thwarted by our failure to reproduce the reported inhibitory action of FTY720-phosphate.

Abstract
The stereocontrolled synthesis of a novel oxabicyclic nucleoside phosphonate comprising a perhydrofuropyran core unit was achieved. It was incorporated in an oligonucleotide sequence as a 5'-3' phosphonate-phosphate insert, and the stability properties of the resulting duplex were measured. The oxabicyclic nucleoside framework was designed so as to restrict rotation around angles γ, δ, and ε of a natural nucleoside.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides (AG) are antibiotics that lower the accuracy of protein synthesis by targeting a highly conserved RNA helix of the ribosomal A-site. The discovery of AGs that selectively target the eukaryotic ribosome, but lack activity in prokaryotes, are promising as antiprotozoals for the treatment of neglected tropical diseases, and as therapies to read-through point-mutation genetic diseases. However, a single nucleobase change A1408G in the eukaryotic A-site leads to negligible affinity for most AGs. Herein we report the synthesis of 6'-fluorosisomicin, the first 6'-fluorinated aminoglycoside, which specifically interacts with the protozoal cytoplasmic rRNA A-site, but not the bacterial A-site, as evidenced by X-ray co-crystal structures. The respective dispositions of 6'-fluorosisomicin within the bacterial and protozoal A-sites reveal that the fluorine atom acts only as a hydrogen-bond acceptor to favorably interact with G1408 of the protozoal A-site. Unlike aminoglycosides containing a 6'-ammonium group, 6'-fluorosisomicin cannot participate in the hydrogen-bonding pattern that characterizes stable pseudo-base-pairs with A1408 of the bacterial A-sites. Based on these structural observations it may be possible to shift the biological activity of aminoglycosides to act preferentially as antiprotozoal agents. These findings expand the repertoire of small molecules targeting the eukaryotic ribosome and demonstrate the usefulness of fluorine as a design element.

Abstract
A highly stereocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-yaequinolone J1 and (+)-yaequinolone J2 was accomplished using an Evans auxiliary to establish a syn-diol unit in an acyclic appendage to a preformed benzopyran core bearing a homoprenyl group. The first total synthesis of a complex member of this family of 3,4-dioxygenated 3,4-dihydro 4-aryl quinolin-2-(1 H)-ones also allowed the assignment of absolute stereochemistry, thereby suggesting the same for several members of this family of biogenetically related alkaloids hitherto reported with relative configurations of stereogenic carbons for some and absolute assignments relying on empirical data for others.

A series of electron-rich arenes were reacted with 1-alkyl or 1-aryl 1′-allyl benzylic alcohols to give the corresponding 1,1′-diarylalkanes, in the presence of Lewis and Brønsted acids as catalysts. In the presence of HBF4, 1,1′-diarylalkanes containing an allylic chain were shown to form tetrahydronaphthalenes through a rearrangement involving spirocyclic intermediates. The mechanism of the cyclization is discussed.

Abstract
Daphniphyllum is an evergreen species known since 1826. After initial systematic investigations, more than 320 members of this family have been isolated, which comprise complex and fascinating structures. Unique azapolycyclic architectures containing one or more quaternary stereocenters render these alkaloids synthetically challenging. This review covers efforts toward the synthesis of Daphniphyllum alkaloids spanning the period from 2005 to the beginning of 2016, including reported biological activities as well as the isolation of new members of this genus.

Abstract
Oncogenic mutations drive anabolic metabolism, creating a dependency on nutrient influx through transporters, receptors, and macropinocytosis. While sphingolipids suppress tumor growth by downregulating nutrient transporters, macropinocytosis and autophagy still provide cancer cells with fuel. Therapeutics that simultaneously disrupt these parallel nutrient access pathways have potential as powerful starvation agents. Here, we describe a water-soluble, orally bioavailable synthetic sphingolipid, SH-BC-893, that triggers nutrient transporter internalization and also blocks lysosome-dependent nutrient generation pathways. SH-BC-893 activated protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), leading to mislocalization of the lipid kinase PIKfyve. The concomitant mislocalization of the PIKfyve product PI(3,5)P2 triggered cytosolic vacuolation and blocked lysosomal fusion reactions essential for LDL, autophagosome, and macropinosome degradation. By simultaneously limiting access to both extracellular and intracellular nutrients, SH-BC-893 selectively killed cells expressing an activated form of the anabolic oncogene Ras in vitro and in vivo. However, slower-growing, autochthonous PTEN-deficient prostate tumors that did not exhibit a classic Warburg phenotype were equally sensitive. Remarkably, normal proliferative tissues were unaffected by doses of SH-BC-893 that profoundly inhibited tumor growth. These studies demonstrate that simultaneously blocking parallel nutrient access pathways with sphingolipid-based drugs is broadly effective and cancer selective, suggesting a potential strategy for overcoming the resistance conferred by tumor heterogeneity.

Unfortunately, FTY720 cannot be re-purposed for use in cancer patients due to on-target toxicity associated with S1P receptor activation at the elevated, anti-neoplastic dose. Here we show that the constrained azacyclic FTY720 analog SH-RF-177 lacks S1P receptor activity but maintains anti-leukemic activity in vitro and in vivo. SH-RF-177 was not only more potent than FTY720, but killed via a distinct mechanism. Phosphorylation is dispensable for FTY720’s anti-leukemic actions. However, chemical biology and genetic approaches demonstrated that the sphingosine kinase 2- (SPHK2) mediated phosphorylation of SH-RF-177 led to engagement of a pro-apoptotic target and increased potency. The cytotoxicity of membrane-permeant FTY720 phosphonate esters suggests that the enhanced potency of SH-RF-177 stems from its more efficient phosphorylation. The tight inverse correlation between SH-RF-177 IC50 and SPHK2 mRNA expression suggests a useful biomarker for SH-RF-177 sensitivity. In summary, these studies indicate that FTY720 analogs that are efficiently phosphorylated but fail to activate S1P receptors may be superior anti-leukemic agents compared to compounds that avoid cardiotoxicity by eliminating phosphorylation.

Abstract
Herein we describe synthetic efforts toward the total synthesis of calyciphylline B-type alkaloids. In the process, we disclose a detailed DFT study of equilibrium geometries and transition states that explains the stereochemical outcome during the formation of critical intermediates. X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals interesting conformational features in the naturally occurring deoxycalyciphylline B and its synthetic congeners.

Abstract
Methods are described for the stereoselective synthesis of 1,2-cis glycopyranosides in the d-galacto, d-gluco, and 2-azido-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranoside series utilizing minimally protected (3-bromo-2-pyridyloxy) β-d-glycopyranosyl donors in the presence of BF3-N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a catalyst and a variety of alcohol acceptors relying on the "remote activation concept". Precursors to antifreeze glycopeptide components are synthesized in excellent yields and high α/β ratios. The method is adaptable to one-pot sequential glycosidation as well as to solid-supported synthesis giving access to diverse sets of minimally protected α-d-glycopyranosides as major products.

Abstract
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) modified with ligands which target cell surface receptors have the potential to significantly improve potency in the target tissue. This has recently been demonstrated using triantennary N-acetyl d-galactosamine conjugated ASOs. CD22 is a cell surface receptor expressed exclusively on B cells thus presenting an attractive target for B cell specific delivery of drugs. Herein, we reported the synthesis of monovalent and trivalent ASO conjugates with biphenylcarbonyl (BPC) modified sialic acids and their study as ASO delivery agents into B cells. CD22 positive cells exhibited reduced potency when treated with ligand modified ASOs and mechanistic examination suggested reduced uptake into cells potentially as a result of sequestration of ASO by other cell-surface proteins.

Abstract
Cyclic enaminones are versatile intermediates to construct a variety of azacyclic frameworks and have been widely used in alkaloid synthesis. Here, we summarize three approaches for stereoselective syntheses of cyclic enaminones and their functionalized derivatives. These include chiral substrates (chirons) as starting materials, syntheses employing non-catalytic (stoichiometric) reagents, and catalytic asymmetric methods.

Abstract
FTY720 sequesters lymphocytes in secondary lymphoid organs through effects on sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors. However, at higher doses than are required for immunosuppression, FTY720 also functions as an anticancer agent in multiple animal models. Our published work indicates that the anticancer effects of FTY720 do not depend on actions at S1P receptors but instead stem from FTY720s ability to restrict access to extracellular nutrients by down-regulating nutrient transporter proteins. This result was significant because S1P receptor activation is responsible for FTY720s dose-limiting toxicity, bradycardia, that prevents its use in cancer patients. Here, we describe diastereomeric and enantiomeric 3- and 4-C-aryl 2-hydroxymethyl pyrrolidines that are more active than the previously known analogues. Of importance is that these compounds fail to activate S1P1 or S1P3 receptors in vivo but retain inhibitory effects on nutrient transporter proteins and anticancer activity in solid tumor xenograft models. Our studies reaffirm that the anticancer activity of FTY720 does not depend upon S1P receptor activation and uphold the promise of using S1P receptor-inactive azacyclic FTY720 analogues in human cancer patients.
