Oxidized Welwitindolinones from Terrestrial Fischerella spp.

Abstract: 3-Hydroxy-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isonitrile (3), 3-hydroxy-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate (4), and the novel cyclic ether N-methylwelwitindolinone D isonitrile (6) are three new alkaloids from two terrestrial Fischerella spp. belonging to the Stigonemataceae. Photooxidation of N-methylwelwitindolinone C isonitrile (1) leads to isonitriles 3 and 6. Isonitrile 3 is readily hydrated to 3-hydroxy-N-methylwelwitindolinone C formamide (5), an artifact produced during the isolation procedure.

“…Fischerellin A also exhibit fungicidal and herbicidal properties and is a potent photosystem-II inhibitor. Curiously, the chemical study of the terrestrial strains of F. muscicola yielded totally different compounds of indole nature, fischerindoles and welwintindolinones among others (Park et al 1992;Jimenez et al 1999) (Fig. 8), that illustrates the importance of the environment (aquatic, terrestrial) in the development of differentiated chemical interactions with the ecosystem.…”

“…[9] The enamine-mediated aldol reactions of isatins and ketones or enolizable aldehydes have been used in recent years for the synthesis of 3-alkyl-3-hydroxyindolin-2-ones, [10] which are important biologically active natural products and medicinal compounds. [11] Since isatin contains an activated ketone group, we tested our hypothesis with isatin (10 a) and acetone (11 a) as the model substrates, and some tertiary amines (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) as the catalysts (Scheme 2). The results of the catalyst screening and optimizations are presented in Table 1.…”

“…For example, the convolutamydines, 2 and the 3-hydroxywelwitindolinones are part of a growing list of biologically active 3-hydroxyoxindoles ( Figure 1). 3 3-Hydroxyoxindoles with a quaternary benzylic centre are a useful class of compounds also found in several drug candidates, including the potent, orally active growth hormone secretagogue SM-130686, 4 a drug that currently is under investigation for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency and other medical conditions (Figure 1). 5 There are a number of reports on the enantioselective formation of quaternary carbon centers at the 3-position of oxindoles.…”
