Abstract

Abstract In this study, cordatanine, with a canthin-6-one skeleton, was totally synthesized in four steps via a Pictet-Spengler reaction using tryptamine and methyl glyoxylate with a total yield of 8%. The NMR spectra of synthesized cordatanine compared well with those of drymaritin isolated by Hsieh et al., confirming the need to revise the original structural assignment. In addition, kumujian A, a synthetic intermediate, showed significant anti-inflammatory effects, inhibiting both superoxide anion generation (IC₅₀ 4.87 μg/mL) and elastase release (IC₅₀ 6.29 μg/mL).
