ABSTRACT

Herein, a practical synthesis of the macaranoyl group contained in ellagitannins, i.e., a C-O digallate structure with a tetra-ortho-substituted diaryl ether bond, is described. The methodology involved an oxa-Michael addition/elimination reaction between a brominated ortho-quinone monoketal and a phenol with a hexahydroxydiphenoyl moiety in the presence of 18-crown-6 under dark conditions, followed by reductive aromatization. The existence of rotamers originating from the constructed ether moiety is discussed as well.

ABSTRACT

Ellagitannins are a family of polyphenols containing more than 1,000 natural products. Nearly 40% of these compounds contain a highly oxygenated diaryl ether that is one of the most critical elements to their structural diversity. Here, we report a unified strategy for the synthesis of highly oxygenated diaryl ethers featured in ellagitannins. The strategy involves oxa-Michael addition of phenols to an orthoquinone building block, with subsequent elimination and reductive aromatization. The design of the building block--a halogenated orthoquinone monoketal of gallal--reduces the usual instability of orthoquinone and controls addition/elimination. Reductive aromatization is achieved with perfect chemoselectivity in the presence of other reducible functional groups. This strategy enables the synthesis of different diaryl ethers. The first total synthesis of a natural ellagitannin bearing a diaryl ethers is performed to demonstrate that the strategy increases the number of synthetically available ellagitannins.

ABSTRACT

Phospholipase C (PLC)delta1 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Here, we demonstrate that treatment of MDCK cells and PC12 cells with ionomycin causes nuclear accumulation of ectopically expressed and endogenous PLCdelta1, respectively, suggesting that signals that increase [Ca2+]i trigger nuclear translocation. To clarify the molecular mechanisms involved in this translocation, we have examined whether PLCdelta1 binds with importins. PLCdelta1 interacted with importin beta1 in a Ca2+-dependent manner in vitro even in the absence of importin alpha. A PLCdelta1 mutant E341A, which lacks Ca2+-binding to the catalytic core, did not show this interaction at any physiological Ca2+ concentration and did not translocate into the nucleus after ionomycin treatment when expressed in MDCK cells. These results suggested that the nuclear import of PLCdelta1 is mediated by its Ca2+-dependent interaction with importin beta1.
