Organic & biomolecular chemistry, 10(41), 8211-8215 (2012-09-15)
A concise and stereoselective construction of the tetracyclic core of lycorine-type alkaloids and the formal synthesis of α-lycorane has been achieved. The feature of the current method is the employment of a bifunctional thiourea-catalyzed cascade reaction as a powerful tool

Journal of natural products, 74(11), 2356-2361 (2011-10-22)
Alkaloids from plants of the family Amaryllidaceae have important pharmacological properties and can be regarded as derivatives of the common precursor 4'-O-methylnorbelladine (6) via intramolecular oxidative phenol coupling. Their biosynthetic pathway, particularly in Leucojum aestivum, has not yet been totally

Melanoma cells actively participate in tumor angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry. However, anti-angiogenic therapy in patients with melanoma has not shown a significant survival gain. Thus, new anti-melanoma angiogenic and vasculogenic drugs are highly desired. Using the metastatic melanoma cell line
