Metabolite Identification
Common NameBerkelic acid
DescriptionBerkelic acid is a tetracyclic metabolite belonging to the class of natural products. Its total synthesis has been a focus of recent research, with notable advancements in regioselective spiroacetal/pyran formation enabling concise synthetic routes (PMID:38439742 ). A scalable synthesis of the triol segment and the tetracyclic skeleton was achieved through a tandem process, culminating in an efficient total synthesis completed in eight linear steps (PMID:33252181 ). This methodology has been pivotal in constructing the core structure of berkelic acid (PMID:30924665 ). Furthermore, a biosynthetically inspired approach has been utilized to synthesize berkelic acid and its analogs, alongside biological evaluations that highlight its potential (PMID:29867257 ). Studies indicate that the originally assigned structure of berkelic acid is unstable, leading to the formation of a mixture of four diastereomers, which were characterized using X-ray crystallography (PMID:29867257 ). Additionally, analogs such as C22-epi-berkelic acid and C26-oxoberkelic acid have been synthesized and evaluated against human cancer cell lines, reflecting the compound's relevance in medicinal chemistry (PMID:29867257 ).
