In this work, (R)-4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one was prepared though an efficient and novel method starting from (S)-5-((benzyloxy)methyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one. Then, it was utilized as a versatile starting material for the synthesis of novel dimethylmatairesinol analogues; dibenzylbutyrolactone derivatives, via the reaction of the later compound and various aromatic aldehydes.

One of the arctigenin stereoisomers, (8R,8′R)-trans-form 1, showed stereospecific cytotoxicity against insect cells, Sf9 and NIAS-AeAl-2 cells. By the comparison with other stereoisomers, the most importance of the 8′R stereochemistry for the higher activities was clarified. On the other hand, the wider range of activity level among stereoisomers against cancer cells, HL-60, was not observed. The structure-activity relationship research using derivatives bearing (8R,8′R)-trans-form was performed to show the same level of activities of 3-iodo, 4-iodo, and 3,4-methylenedioxy derivatives 28, 29, and 36 as (8R,8′R)-trans-arctigenin 1. In the examination of thiono derivatives, 4-iodo thiono and 3,4-methylenedioxy thiono derivatives 66, 67 showed similar level of activities to that of (8R,8′R)-trans-arctigenin 1. The expression of ribosomal 28S rRNA gene of Sf9 cells was increased by (8R,8′R)-trans-arctigenin 1, whereas a degradation of DNA was not observed.

(Chemical Presented) Two-in-one biocatalysts were engineered by the covalent fusion of NADPH-dependent Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases to a phosphite dehydrogenase for coenzyme regeneration (see scheme). Not only the purified fusion proteins, but also whole cells and crude cell extracts containing the enzyme conjugates, could be used to catalyze biotransformations with high efficiency. NADP+=nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
