1 Total ynthesis of axitoxin John Baird April 11,

2 First isolated in 1957 by chantz et al Isolation and Properties X-Ray tructure obtained in 1975 Freely soluble in water and methanol ptical rotation tereo view of X-ray structure Amorphous solid with formula C Reported to be one of the most toxic non-protein compounds known mw g/mol 2 Jacobi, P. A. et. al Croat. Chem. Acta 1986, 267

3 Biological Properties of axitoxin Potent neurotoxin isolated from toxic Alaska butter clams (axidomus giganteus) and soft shell clams (Mytilus californias) Established in 1920 s that shellfish became toxic during the time of red tides during which Gonyaulax catenella (algal species) blooms. Under optimal temperature and light conditions blooms of red algae proliferate to generate red tides Responsible for paralytic shellfish poisoning. o known cure, treatment available ymptoms include tingling, numbness, weakness, and limp paralysis Toxicity of 8µg/Kg in mice; mg would prove fatal to humans;100x more poisonous than strychnine, 1000x (sarin gas), 2000x (ac) Biological action: blocks sodium ion channels in neuron membranes (medicinal interest) 3 Jacobi, P. A. et. al Croat. Chem. Acta 1986, 267

4 Key ynthetic Challenges 2 2 Molecule possesses: All carbon atoms except one carry heteroatoms 3 contiguous stereogenic centers Tricyclic skeleton posessing two guanidines 2 Polarity/solubility of the molecule makes manipulation/purification cumbersome 4

5 Total yntheses First by Kishi, made racemic saxitoxin in 1977, and later reported the synthesis of unnatural (-)-decarbamoylsaxitoxin in econd synthesis of racemic saxitoxin by Jacobi in 1984 Most recently, synthesis of natural (+)-axitoxin by Du Bois (2006) Kishi Jacobi Du Bois
