A biomimetic approach to the cylindrospermopsin alkaloids

Chemical Communications, 2011
The tethered Biginelli condensation between hemiaminal 21 and β-keto ester 22 is reported, leading to a model tricyclic core of the cylindrospermopsin alkaloids.

The Cylindrospermopsin Alkaloids

2011
Abstract The cylindrospermopsin alkaloids are a family of structurally similar toxic natural products first encountered with the isolation of cylindrospermopsin from the cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii , which was the causative agent in the poisoning of 148 inhabitants of Palm Island, Australia.

Syntheses of the cylindrospermopsin alkaloids

Tetrahedron, 2006
Abstract An intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition has efficiently constructed the A-ring portions of the cylindrospermopsin alkaloids. A nitro-aldol addition of an elaborated nitroalkane to a pyrimidine aldehyde followed by an intramolecular reductive guanidinylation has enabled the syntheses of all three alkaloids in this family in 18–19 steps ...

Total Synthesis of (±)-Cylindrospermopsin

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2000
The first total synthesis of the novel hepatotoxin (±)-cylindrospermopson (1) has been accomplished in 20 steps from 4-methoxy-3-methylpyridine (12) in 3.5% overall yield. The substituted piperidine A ring 19 was generated stereospecifically by a four-step sequence using the addition of trimethylsilylethynylmagnesium bromide to 12 to give 16 and ...

Genotoxicity investigation of a cyanobacterial toxin, cylindrospermopsin

Toxicon, 2002
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN), a potent cyanobacterial hepatotoxin produced by Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and other cyanobacteria, is regularly found in water supplies in many parts of the world, and has been associated with the intoxication of humans and livestock.

First occurrence of cylindrospermopsin in freshwater in France

Environmental Toxicology, 2008
AbstractEleven waterbodies in Western France dominated by cyanobacteria of the genera Aphanizomenon and Anabaena were analyzed in September 2006 for microcystins (MC) and cylindrospermopsin (CYN). CYN was detected for the first time in France in four of them in the presence of Aphanizomenon flos‐aquae and in the presence of Anabaena planctonica in the ...

Cytotoxicity Screening for the Cyanobacterial Toxin Cylindrospermopsin

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2009
The cell lines C3A, HepG2, NCI-87, HCT-8, HuTu-80, Caco-2, and Vero were screened for sensitivity to the cyanobacterial toxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN), with the aim of determining the most sensitive cells to be used in cytotoxicity tests. Cell lines were chosen to be representative of the organs targeted by the toxin; liver, kidney, intestine, and were

Biosynthesis of Cylindrospermopsin in Cyanobacteria: Characterization of CyrJ the Sulfotransferase

Journal of Natural Products, 2021
7-Deoxy-desulfo-cylindrospermopsin was purified at small-scale from the supernatant of a culture of the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria sp. PCC 10702. This metabolite was obtained in a pure form using a three-step chromatographic procedure, and its identity was confirmed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Interlaboratory comparison trial on cylindrospermopsin measurement

Analytical Biochemistry, 2004
The hepatotoxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in mammalian cells. It is produced by freshwater cyanobacterial blooms in countries such as Australia, the United States, Israel, Thailand, and Brazil. An interlaboratory comparison was organized as a first step to evaluate the measurement of CYN in lyophilized ...
