Towards a Total Synthesis of Anatoxin-a(s) 2 P Me Me 2 Eric E. Buck Research Topic Seminar September 19, 2009 Eric Buck @ Wipf Group Page 1 of 27 10/3/2009
Background Anatoxin-a(s) is a neurotoxin produced by the blue-green alga Anabaena flos-aquae (picture right) and A. lemmermannii A potent anticholinesterase with LD50 20-40 µg/ Kg in mice Inhibits AChE in the peripheral nervous system which leads to the build up of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft Symptoms included muscle weakness, respiratory distress, and convulsions leading to death Responsible for the death of dogs, pigs, and ducks in the USA and Canada and water fowl in Denmark Aráoz, R., et al., Toxicon. 2009i, article in press. Matsunaga, S.; Moore, R. E.; iemezura, W. P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 111, 8021-8023 Eric Buck @ Wipf Group Page 2 of 27 10/3/2009
