(-)-Acutumine/Dechloroacutumine
(-)-Acutumine:
- Isolated from Sinomenium acutum.- Tetracyclic, spirocycle, 5 stereocenters.- Inhibits human T-cell proliferation.- Improves object/social recognition, memory in rat model.- Only one other total synthesis reported (Castle, 2009).
(-)-Dechloroacutumine:
- Isolated from Menispermum dauricum (Asian moonseed).- Direct metabolite of (-)-Acutumine.- No previously reported total synthesis.
Menispermum dauricum
Retrosynthesis
