Article Abstract
There are many reports for andrographolide modification regarding antitumor effects. Transformation of the five-membered lactone ring to furan aromatic ring still results in compounds with good cytotoxicity. To determine further the importance of the five-membered lactone ring and to obtain better lead compounds, we transformed the five-membered lactone ring in andrographolide. New types of ent-labdane diterpene derivatives were made, whose cytotoxic activities were measured in vitro. Preliminary SAR was summarized and two compounds, 7 and 26, with good cytotoxic activity were obtained, which have the potential to be developed into new antitumor drugs.

Periplocin, periplocymarin and periplogenin are the main active components of . The most cytotoxic constituent of , periplocin is an alpha cardiac glycoside with a steroid core and an unsaturated five-membered lactone ring structure. Periplocymarin is a secondary alpha cardiac glycoside, which is produced by removing one molecule of glucose from periplocin, and periplogenin is the glycosidic portion and the basic unit of periplocin and periplocymarin.

Electrochemically mediated atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) catalyzed by copper(II) has recently emerged as a powerful and sustainable strategy for carbon-carbon (C-C) bond formation in organic synthesis. Utilizing robust organocopper(II) complexes, α-haloamides were explored herein, which revealed their efficient catalysis in ATRA with a range of functionalized alkenes that afford unique polychlorinated amides. Interestingly, the initial ATRA addition products undergo subsequent intramolecular cyclization to afford five-membered lactones, as controlled by the electron-withdrawing or electron-donating substitution pattern of the alkene.

To develop a novel low molecular-weight organogelator, D-glucono-1,4-lactones were synthesized with all hydroxy groups esterified with linear saturated fatty acids, and their gelation ability was evaluated. When a fatty acid was introduced, the six-membered ring D-glucono-1,5-lactone transformed into a five-membered ring D-glucono-1,4-lactone, regardless of the length of the fatty acid. However, the gelation ability depended on the length of the fatty acid, and compounds esterified with palmitic acid (16 carbons) and stearic acid (18 carbons) showed a better gelation ability.
