第二章 結果與討論
2.2 葡萄醣醛酸化反應
2.2.1 齊敦果酸衍生物的 3-O-葡萄醣醛酸化反應
在 2.1.2 中,我們準備了 5 種以 TCA 作為離去基的醣基給予者,還有 1 個以 TES 保護、STol 為離去基醣基給予者。以 STol 為離去基,一般會用 NIS/TfOH 活 化,但因為 benzyl oleanolate 在此條件下有重排的現象,所以我們改用 AgOTf、
p-NO2PhSCl 活化。(Scheme 19)
實驗方式為:將起始物 73、AgOTf 和 4Å 分子篩在氮氣環境、室溫下溶於 CH2Cl2 中,冰浴下加入 p-NO2PhSCl,反應半小時後加入 benzyl oleanolate,攪拌 3 小時,
發現不反應,升溫後結果亦然,且起始物 73 的離去基已被活化,以矽膠管柱層析 純化後並未得到想要的產物且 benzyl oleanolate 也受到了影響,產生重排的現象。
Scheme 19. 以 triethylsilyl group 保護進行葡萄醣醛酸化反應
以 TCA 作為葡萄醣醛酸化反應中的離去基,一般會用 BF3·OEt2 或 TMSOTf 等 路易士酸(Lewis acid)活化。參考相關研究發現,若使用活性高的 BF3·OEt2 會使 triterpene 更容易產生其它副反應,因此不使用 BF3·OEt2 為活化劑63,而是以 TCA 作為離去基進行反應(Scheme 20、表四、表五)。
實驗步驟為:先將 1.2 當量的化合物 25、31、32、79 或 90 和 1 當量的化合物

B(PhF5)3較不易有副反應的產生,其可能原因為酸性較低,所以即使反應溫度

雖然 Ac、Bz、Piv 為保護基可以利用鄰基效應增加 β selectivity,但是他們皆 為”disarmed”的保護基,反應性較低,所以我們設計了將 C-3、C-4 位置以 benzyl group 保護的化合物 90,增加反應性,另外又合成反應性高的 TBS group 為保護基
合成化合物 79,來看他們是否能更加優化葡萄醣醛酸化反應(Scheme 21、表五)。
Scheme 21. 以”Armed”保護基和 28-O-benzyl oleanolic acid 進行反應
反應的結果整理於表五,可以發現:
1. 以 TBS 為保護基(79),因為 TBS 為”Armed”的保護基,反應活性較大,但在 酸性下不穩定,以 TMSOTf 為活化劑時,因為酸性較高,所以有去掉 TBS 保
護基的副產物。而以 B(PhF5)3 為活化劑時,因為無鄰基效應,在室溫下反而
會有α 異構物的產生,透過溫度控制,在 0 ℃時具有很好的選擇性,產率可
到達 63%。
2. 溶劑仍以 CH2Cl2為佳,THF 為溶劑之反應差(entry 4)。
3. 將 C-3、C-4 位置以 benzyl group(Bn)保護和原本使用 Bz 保護比起來並較好 的結果,產率甚至較原本的低[表三(entry 5)v.s.表四(entry 6)]。

2. 比較 entry 1&2、3&4、6&7、9&10,以 TMSOTf 和 B(PhF5)3活化,無一定論,
保護基與活化劑需要搭配嘗試,才能獲得較高產率。
6. 這兩個反應的純化以 B(PhF5)3為活化劑較佳,因為較無 orthoester 和 α-form 產 物產生,所以產物和其他副產物在層析時比較容易分離,而且反應可以在室溫 中反應,有量化的潛力。

2.3 玻尿酸分解酶抑制劑活性
我們以兩種方法檢測玻尿酸分解酶抑制劑的活性:混濁度試驗和 Morgan-Elson 反應法,分別以完整玻尿酸含量和玻尿酸降解產物含量兩個角度來評估玻尿酸分 解酶的活性。
混濁度試驗是利用玻尿酸會和具有長碳鏈的 CTAB(cetyltrimethylammonium bromide)反應產生不溶性複合物,因此,可依據混濁度檢測玻尿酸含量,若玻尿 酸分解酶活性高,玻尿酸被分解,反應後加入 CTAB 產生的不溶性複合物少,混
濁度低;反之,混濁度高,則表玻尿酸分解酶活性被抑制70。
圖十顯示了不同濃度的 92 反應後的混濁度,可以發現即使將濃度提升至 1 mM,
其混濁度和完全不加抑制劑的混濁度無明顯差異,表 92 並無顯著抑制活性。

第三章 結論
我們針對三萜類進行葡萄醣醛酸化反應做優化研究,探討 6 種不同的葡萄醣 醛酸基給予者和兩種作為醣接受者的三萜類化合物在不同活化劑、溫度、溶劑中
的反應結果。(圖十二)
我們發現,當使用 B(PhF5)3為活化劑時,具有較好的β 選擇性,值得一提的 是,使用此活化劑時,反應溫度為一個重要的因素,冰浴下反應時容易有 orthoester 的副產物生成,但如果將反應升溫至室溫,orthoester 副產物消失。
醯類保護基方面,Ac 保護基因為立障較小,反應時容易有副反應的發生。Bz 和 Piv 保護基兩者沒有太大的差別,端看葡萄醣醛酸基接受者的不同而有不同的產 率,接受者為齊墩果酸時,Bz 保護產率較高;皂皮酸為接受者時,Piv 保護的產 率較高。但在選擇性方面,Piv 保護基因為立障效應,較不會原酯的副產物生成。
使用 TBS 為保護基反應活性最好,和兩個三萜類化合物的反應產率都高,我 們認為其具有發展的可能性,未來要進行三萜類化合物的葡萄醣醛酸化反應時,
TBS 保護基是一個很好的選擇。

在以本研究中所獲得的葡萄醣醛酸衍生物進行玻尿酸分解酶抑制劑之活性探 討實驗中,發現在 1 mM 下仍無明顯抑制活性。這些化合物的活性將再繼續進行探 討。
本研究提供了優化的葡萄醣醛酸化反應條件,未來有助於進一步合成更多葡 萄醣醛酸衍生物。
