Abstract

Acid-catalyzed transannular cyclization of the germacrene-type sesquiterpene lactone nobilin 1 was investigated with the aim of obtaining new anti-trypanosomal cadinane derivatives. The reaction was regiospecific in all tested reaction conditions. Compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic and computational methods, and the anti-trypanosomal activity was evaluated and compared to nobilin (IC50 3.19±1.69μM). The tricyclic derivative 11 showed most potent in vitro activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense bloodstream forms (IC50 0.46±0.01μM). Acid-catalyzed transannular cyclization of natural cyclodecadienes is an efficient strategy to generate new natural product derivatives with anti-protozoal activity.
