Sporolides A and B are polycyclic macrolides extracted from the obligate marine bacterium Salinispora tropica, which is found in ocean sediment. They are composed of a chlorinated cyclopenta[a]indene ring and a cyclohexenone moiety.{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/ja710488m |title=Unraveling the Biosynthesis of the Sporolide Cyclohexenone Building Block |year=2008 |last1=McGlinchey |first1=Ryan P. |last2=Nett |first2=Markus |last3=Moore |first3=Bradley S. |journal=Journal of the American Chemical Society |volume=130 |issue=8 |pages=2406–2407 |pmid=18232689 |bibcode=2008JAChS.130.2406M }} They were the second group of compounds (after salinosporamide A) isolated from Salinispora, and were said to indicate the potential of marine actinomycetes as a source of novel secondary metabolites.{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/ol050901i |title=Sporolides a and b: Structurally Unprecedented Halogenated Macrolides from the Marine Actinomycete Salinisporatropica |year=2005 |last1=Buchanan |first1=Greg O. |last2=Williams |first2=Philip G. |last3=Feling |first3=Robert H. |last4=Kauffman |first4=Christopher A. |last5=Jensen |first5=Paul R. |last6=Fenical |first6=William |journal=Organic Letters |volume=7 |issue=13 |pages=2731–2734 |pmid=15957933 }} The structures and absolute stereochemistries of both metabolites were elucidated using a combination of NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
The complex aromatic structure of the sporolides was hypothesized to be derived from an unstable nine-membered ring enediyne precursor, which could undergo Bergman cyclization to generate a para-benzyne intermediate. Nucleophilic attack by chloride would account for the 1:1 mixture of sporolide A and B and for the single chlorine in these enediyne-derived natural products. This proposed mechanism was demonstrated in laboratory experiments,{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/ja070023e |title=Nucleophilic Addition to a p-Benzyne Derived from an Enediyne: A New Mechanism for Halide Incorporation into Biomolecules |year=2007 |last1=Perrin |first1=Charles L. |last2=Rodgers |first2=Betsy L. |last3=O'Connor |first3=Joseph M. |journal=Journal of the American Chemical Society |volume=129 |issue=15 |pages=4795–4799 |pmid=17378569 |bibcode=2007JAChS.129.4795P }}
Biosynthesis
The biosynthesis of sporolide A and B is related to that of enediynes such as dynemicin A{{cite journal |doi=10.1007/s10295-015-1671-0 |title=Genome neighborhood network reveals insights into enediyne biosynthesis and facilitates prediction and prioritization for discovery |year=2016 |last1=Rudolf |first1=Jeffrey D. |last2=Yan |first2=Xiaohui |last3=Shen |first3=Ben |journal=Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology |volume=43 |issue=2–3 |pages=261–276 |pmid=26318027 |pmc=4753101 }} and is proposed to proceed as shown below.
Chemical synthesis
The first total synthesis of sporolide B was reported by K. C. Nicolaou's group and used a highly stereoselective and convergent strategy that involved two cycloaddition reactions. The first was a ruthenium-catalyzed intermolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction between two acetylenic units, A and B, and the second a thermally induced intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition reaction between an o-quinone and the tetrasubstituted olefin within the intermediate, forming the macrocyclic structure of the target product.{{cite journal |doi=10.1002/anie.200900264 |title=Total Synthesis of Sporolide B |year=2009 |last1=Nicolaou |first1=K.
