基于生源砌块的天然产物高效发现与仿生合成研究进展

Advances in the Efficient Discovery and Biomimetic Synthesis of Natural Products Based on Biogenetic Building Blocks

  • 摘要: 天然产物是创新药物的重要源泉。长期以来,结构新颖的天然化合物发现研究存在效率低、盲目性大、难以规模化制备等问题,制约了天然来源创新药物研发。生源砌块是构建天然产物的重要结构单元,生源砌块的形成、组合以及后修饰过程决定了天然产物的结构特征。基于此,笔者所在团队前期创建了基于生源砌块分子网络的天然产物发现新技术,并首次提出了基于生源砌块的仿生合成新策略,以上新策略和新技术已被成功应用于一叶萩型生物碱、单萜吲哚生物碱、酰基间苯三酚类衍生物等新颖结构天然产物的定向发现和仿生合成研究中,显著提高了结构新颖的天然化合物的发现效率,并实现其集群式仿生合成,具有高效、简洁、原子经济、多样导向性的特点。通过对基于生源砌块的天然产物高效发现及仿生合成研究进展进行总结,为上述技术的进一步开发和利用提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Natural products are a vital resource of innovative drugs. Traditionally, the discovery of natural compounds with novel structures faces challenges such as low efficiency, lack of direction, and difficulties in scale-up production, which hinders the development of innovative drugs derived from natural sources. Biogenetic building blocks are essential structural units for constructing natural products, and their formation, combination, and subsequent modification determine the structural characteristics of these products. Based on the biogenetic building blocks, our team developed the biogenetic building blocks-based molecular networking method and pioneered a biomimetic synthesis strategy. These innovative approaches have been successfully applied to the targeted discovery and biomimetic synthesis of natural products with unique structures, such as the Securinega alkaloids, monoterpene indole alkaloids, and acylphloroglucinol derivatives, etc. This has significantly enhanced the discovery and collective biomimetic synthesis of these novel compounds, characterized by high efficiency, simplicity, atom economy, and diversity-oriented outcomes. This review summarizes our research on efficient discovery and biomimetic synthesis strategies for natural products based on biogenetic building blocks, aiming to provide insights for the further development and application of these technologies.
