An Efficient Chemoenzymatic Approach towards the Synthesis of Rugulactone

Rugulactone is a natural product isolated from the plant Cryptocarya rugulosa. It has shown very important biological activity as an inhibitor of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation pathway. A new chemoenzymatic approach towards the synthesis of rugulactone is presented here. The chirality, ind...

description Rugulactone is a natural product isolated from the plant Cryptocarya rugulosa. It has shown very important biological activity as an inhibitor of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation pathway. A new chemoenzymatic approach towards the synthesis of rugulactone is presented here. The chirality, induced to the key intermediate by a stereoselective enzymatic reduction utilizing NADPH-dependent ketoreductase, is described in detail.
