Journal ArticleDOI
Natural product derived privileged scaffolds in drug discovery.
TL;DR: Recent advances in the exploitation of terpenoid, polyketide, phenylpropanoid and alkaloid natural product scaffolds are reviewed for inspiration in the design and development of important new drug candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Products with Heteroatom-Rich Ring Systems
Emma K. Davison,Jonathan Sperry +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on all known natural products that contain a "heteroatom-rich" ring system, specifically a five-, six- or seven-membered ring that contains three or more heteroatoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Procedure for Transforming Indoles into Indolequinones
TL;DR: A procedure that converts a series of structurally diverse, readily available indole derivatives to their corresponding indolequinones is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of the 1,2,4-thiadiazole alkaloids polycarpathiamines A and B
Emma K. Davison,Jonathan Sperry +1 more
TL;DR: This methodology offers a straightforward alternative to the low yielding dipolar cycloaddition used to access 3-amino-5-acyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole core of polycarpathiamines A and B and facilitates the first synthesis of both natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total Synthesis of an Isatis indigotica-Derived Alkaloid Using a Biomimetic Thio-Diels–Alder Reaction
TL;DR: This synthetic study establishes the viability of the proposed biosynthesis by thio-Diels-Alder cycloaddition, a very rare reaction in nature, and infer that the diastereomer 2 is an as-yet undiscovered natural product present in Isatis indigotica.
