Article Abstract
The convergent total synthesis of ixabepilone and its analogues in a 13-step longest linear sequence is reported. The crucial chiral centers at challenging C3-O, C8-C and C15-N positions on the scaffold of the ixabepilone were installed via highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenations (up to 95 % yield and up to 99 % e.e.) and all three fragments could be prepared on gram scale. The key aldol reaction bridges the aldehyde and keto fragments with high yield and exquisite diastereo control (8 : 1 d.r.). Finally, a novel RCM reaction conformationally controlled by a bulky silyl group was reported, which allows the facile synthesis of ixabepilone and its analogues.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Surgery and radiation therapy are localized therapies for early-stage and metastatic breast cancer. The management of breast cancer is determined in large part by the HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2), HR (hormone receptor), ER (estrogen receptor), and PR (progesterone receptor) status.

Epothilones are 16-membered macrolides that act as microtubule-targeting agents to tackle cancer. Many synthetic analogues have been investigated for their activity, yet often based on macrolide structures. A notable exception is Ixabepilone, an azalide whose metabolic stability and pharmacokinetics are significantly improved.

Microtubules are dynamic polymers composed of α- and β-tubulin heterodimers. Microtubules are universally conserved among eukaryotes and participate in nearly every cellular process, including intracellular trafficking, replication, polarity, cytoskeletal shape, and motility. Due to their fundamental role in mitosis, they represent a classic target of anti-cancer therapy.

Epothilone derivatives have been recognized as one of the most powerful anticancer drugs towards solid tumors, for their unique affinity to bind with β-tubulin microtubule arrays, stabilizing their disassembly, causing cell death. Sornagium cellulosum is the main source for Epothilone, however, the fermentation bioprocessing of this myxobacteria is the main challenge for commercial production of Epothilone. The metabolic biosynthetic potency of epothilone by Aspergillus fumigatus, an endophyte of Catharanthus roseus, raises the hope for commercial epothilone production, for their fast growth rate and feasibility of manipulating their secondary metabolites.
