연구실 소개

권용훈 교수의 연구실은 주로 유기합성화학과 생물학적 타겟을 연계한 약물 개발을 핵심으로 삼고 있습니다. 특히 코로나19 바이러스의 핵심 단백질인 Nsp15를 타겟으로 한 천연물질의 항바이러스 활성 스크리닝과, 복잡한 자연물의 전체 합성 기법을 통해 구조 규명과 입체화학 확정을 수행합니다. 또한 고도로 제어된 반응 조건을 활용한 입체선택적 합성 전략과, 불안정한 구조를 안정화시키는 전략적 보호기 기법을 응용하여, 항생제나 해양 마크로라이드 계열의 생체활성 물질을 효율적으로 합성하는 데 주력하고 있습니다.

Total Synthesis of Disciformycin A and B: Unusually Exigent Targets of Biological Significance
Yonghoon Kwon, Saskia Schulthoff, Quang Minh Dao, Conny Wirtz, Alois Fürstner
SJR Q1Chemistry - A European Journal

The first total synthesis of the potent antibiotic disciformycin B (2) is described, which is exceptionally isomerization-prone and transforms into disciformycin A (1) even under notably mild conditions. To outweigh this bias, the approach to 2 hinged on the use of a silyl residue at C4 to lock the critical double bond in place and hence insure the integrity of the synthetic intermediates en route to 2. This tactic was instrumental for the preparation of the building blocks and formation of the

Novel chemical inhibitor against SOD1 misfolding and aggregation protects neuron-loss and ameliorates disease symptoms in ALS mouse model

SJR Q1Communications BiologyOA

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective death of motor neurons. Mutations in Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) causing the gain of its toxic property are the major culprit of familial ALS (fALS). The abnormal SOD1 aggregation in the motor neurons has been suggested as the major pathological hallmark of ALS patients. However, the development of pharmacological interventions against SOD1 still needs further investigation. In this study,

1,4‐Diketones from Cross‐Conjugated Dienones: Potassium Permanganate‐Interrupted Nazarov Reaction
Yonghoon Kwon, Devon J. Schatz, F. G. West
SJR Q1Angewandte Chemie International Edition

A domino potassium permanganate-interrupted Nazarov reaction to yield syn-2,3-disubstituted 1,4-diketones via a decarbonylative cleavage of the Nazarov oxyallyl intermediate, believed to be without precedent, is presented. This process allows syn substituents to be established stereospecifically on the 2-carbon bridge connecting the ketone carbonyl carbons, and the formation of one carbon-carbon and two carbon-oxygen bonds. Two carbon-carbon bonds are cleaved in this process.

α-Hydroxycyclopentanones via one-pot oxidation of the trimethylaluminum-mediated Nazarov reaction with triplet oxygen
Yonghoon Kwon, Owen Scadeng, Robert McDonald, F. G. West
SJR Q1Chemical Communications

Trimethylaluminum and molecular oxygen are used in tandem to interrupt the Nazarov cyclization. α-Hydroxycyclopentanones are produced in moderate to good yield as a mixture of epimers. This sequence is the first example of combined nucleophilic/electrophilic trapping of the Nazarov oxyallyl intermediate.

Abstract Natural products decursin and decursinol angelate were recently reported as benign fungicides for controlling rice blast. Inspired by the structural similarity of the cumarin compounds and gained hint from the skeletal motifs, we designed and prepared synthetic compounds to increase the natural product efficacy and evaluated their antifungal activities against various plant disease pathogens in vitro. Synthetically prepared compound 4 and 5 indeed suppressed the mycelial growth of B. ci

Heterologous Synthesis and Characterization of Thiocillin IV
Young‐Jin Son, Hee-Jong Hwang, Yonghoon Kwon
SJR Q1ACS Chemical Biology

Micrococcin P1 and P2 are thiopeptides with a wide range of biological functions including antibacterial and antimalarial activities. We previously demonstrated optimized enzymatic sequences for the exclusive and scalable biosynthesis of micrococcin P2. Thiocillin IV is predicted to be the congener of O -methylated micrococcin P2, but the exact structure has not been elucidated. In this study, we report the first scalable biosynthesis and full structural characterization of thiocillin IV, a 26-m

SJR Q2Applied Biological ChemistryOA

Abstract The escalating demand for effective and sustainable weed management strategies, driven by urbanization expansion, is a critical challenge. Herbicides are pivotal tools in modern agriculture, addressing this challenge. Developing novel herbicides with enhanced efficacy and minimal environmental impact is crucial for food security and ecological balance. While numerous herbicides have been developed with varying availability over time and regions, there's a continuous need for innovation.

Use of a “Structural Dummy” α-Silyl Substituent in Nazarov Cyclization: Expanding the Substrate Scope to Indanones and Bicyclic 2-Pyrones
Hyerim Kim, Jeongyeon Hwang, Gwanwoo Baek, J. E. Jung, Yonghoon Kwon
SJR Q1Organic Letters

Aryl vinyl ketones, particularly those lacking an α-substituent, are among the most challenging substrates for Nazarov cyclization. We present a practical method to expand the scope of this reaction, enabling the efficient synthesis of indanones and bicyclic 2-pyrones. The use of an α-silyl substituent as a "structural dummy" enhances reactivity, and thus, the reaction proceeds under mild conditions. Notably, spontaneous desilylation during the reaction leaves the products with double-enolizable
