    ABSTRACT AIM: The synthesis of sarmentosin. METHODS: Condensation of butane-1,2,4-triol-1,2-acetonide(3) with α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide tetraacetate in the presence of Ag2O and molecular sieves gave the desired β-glucoside 4, which was transformed into sarmentosin via a reaction sequence of 7 steps. RESULTS: The overall yield is 5.8%. CONCLUSION: The first synthesis of sarmentosin(1), a potent natural GPT lowering agent, was achieved.

    KEY WORDS sarmentosin; glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(GPT); total synthesis

    Sarmentosin(1) was isolated in 1978 by Fang et al[1] from the whole herb of Sedum sarmentosum Bunge which belongs to the family Crassulaceae. The herb is widely distributed in China and used for the treatment of hepatitis in folk medicine. Clinical trials showed that the herb had a significant effect in lowering the level of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase of the patients suffering from chronic virus hepatitis. Later on, sarmentosin was showen to be responsible for this effect[1,2]. Sarmentosin was also found to have immunomodulating activity[3]. Sarmentosin is a water soluble syrupy substance and its structure was elucidated by chemical and spectral methods as compound 1.

    Although sarmentosin has promising bio-activity and its structure seems to be rather simple, there is still no report about its synthesis in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, several research groups have attempted to synthesize this compound. They all took the following strategy: to prepare the aglycone, compound 2 first, and then condense it with α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide tetraacetate or β-D-glucose pentaacetate to achieve the target molecule. Due to the instability of compound 2, this approach has not been successful yet. Recently, we accomplished the first total synthesis of sarmentosin[4]. In this paper the work is reported in detail.

    Butane-1,2,4-triol-1,2-acetonide(3) was used as the starting material, which could be prepared easily from commercially available butane-1,2,4-triol in one step[5]. Condensation of 3 with α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide tetraacetate in the presence of silver(I) oxide and molecular sieves 4gave the desired β-glucoside 4(85.0%) and a small amount of the α-anomer(<10.0%). Cleavage of the acetonide 4 by MeOH/TsOH at room temperature furnished the diol 5(65.0%). Selective protection of diol 5 as trityl ether afforded the secondary alcohol 6(89.4%), which was oxidized with 4.5 equiv. of PCC in the presence of NaOAc to give the ketone 7(78.3%). Then compound 7 was converted into cyanohydrin 8(70.7%) by treatment with acetone cyanohydrin in methanol solution of sodium bicarbonate. 8 is a mixture of two diastereomers which was dehydrated without separation using thionyl chloride in pyridine at room temperature for 3 days. The desired E-olefin 9 was obtained as the only isomer in 40.2% yield. Selective removal of the trityl group in 9 with TMSI yielded the allylic alcohol 10(70.9%), and subsequent deacetylation of 10 with MeOH-Et3N-H2O(8∶1∶1)[6] led to sarmentosin(1, 74.2%), [α]30.5D=-17.96°(c 2.16, MeOH) [Lit1,2: [α]30D-17.4°(c 0.62, H2O); Lit7: [α]24D-18°(c 0.3, MeOH)]. The IR, MS, 1HNMR and 13CNMR data of the synthetic product are identical with those of the natural sarmentosin reported in the literature[1,2]. The E-configuration of the double bond in compounds 9,10 and 1 was determined by NOE experiments. Irradiation at C-3 proton of 9,10 and 1 produced 3.3%, 3.75% and 5.6% enhancement of the proton at C-1 respectively and vice versa.

    In conclusion, starting from butane-1,2,4-triol-1,2-acetonide(3), the first total synthesis of sarmentosin has been accomplished through a reaction sequence of 8 steps in an overall yield of 5.8%.
