Germacrene B - a central intermediate in sesquiterpene biosynthesis

Beilstein J Org Chem 2023 Feb 20;19:186-203.PMID:36865023DOI:10.3762/bjoc.19.18.

Germacranes are important intermediates in the biosynthesis of eudesmane and guaiane sesquiterpenes. After their initial formation from farnesyl diphosphate, these neutral intermediates can become reprotonated for a second cyclisation to reach the bicyclic eudesmane and guaiane skeletons. This review summarises the accumulated knowledge on eudesmane and guaiane sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and alcohols that potentially arise from the achiral sesquiterpene hydrocarbon Germacrene B. Not only compounds isolated from natural sources, but also synthetic compounds are dicussed, with the aim to give a rationale for the structural assignment for each compound. A total number of 64 compounds is presented, with 131 cited references.

Germacrene Analogs are Anti-androgenic on Androgen-dependent Cells

Nat Prod Commun 2016 Sep;11(9):1225-1228.PMID:30807005doi

Anti-androgenic drugs are treatments for androgen-related disorders such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia. Germacrone (1), a sesquiterpene isolated from hexane extracts of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb. rhizome, is an androgen inhibitor of steroid 5-alpha reductase in- vitro. Here, we used the similarity of germacrone's ,t,B-unsaturated carbonyl to testosterone's α,β-unsaturated carbonyl to find germacrene analogs obtained from this plant and by semi-synthesis that might be more potent steroid 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. 8-Hydroxy Germacrene B (4) was -13-fold more potent than its parent, I and the most potent (ICso, 0.15 ± 0.022 mM) among 9 compounds tested. The conformation of its cyclodecadiene ring and the α,β-unsaturated ketone/hydroxy in the germacrene molecule might be crucial role for its anti-androgen activity. Moreover, I and 4 showed mild cytotoxic effect on prostate cancer cells. Neither compound was cytotoxic towards human dermal papilla cells at 100 μg/mL. We show that this SAR strategy created promising anti-androgenics for androgen dependent disorders and may create further analogues with further improvements in selectivity and clinical efficacy.

About the Chiral Stability of Germacrene B and the Biomimetic Synthesis of Guaiane Sesquiterpenes

J Org Chem 1997 Oct 17;62(21):7346-7350.PMID:11671850DOI:10.1021/jo970902r.

The planar chirality of 15-hydroxygermacrene B (2) has been examined by means of the asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation, performed as a kinetic resolution. (1)H NMR experiments with Eu(hfc)(3) demonstrate that the recovered 2 is racemic. Consequently, 2 and most likely also Germacrene B (1) are not enantiomerically stable at room temperature. The formation of the optically active cis-fused guaiane 4 of high ee with limited Sharpless reagent shows that the asymmetric epoxidation of 2 proceeds highly enantioselectively. The Sharpless epoxidation methodology applied on the (E,Z)-germacrane 3 results in the formation of the stable optically active epoxide 5. Acid-induced cyclization of 5, leading to a mixture of guaianes, probably proceeds via the trans-fused carbocationic intermediate A.

Germacrene C synthase from Lycopersicon esculentum cv. VFNT cherry tomato: cDNA isolation, characterization, and bacterial expression of the multiple product sesquiterpene cyclase

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1998 Mar 3;95(5):2216-21.PMID:9482865DOI:10.1073/pnas.95.5.2216.

Germacrene C was found by GC-MS and NMR analysis to be the most abundant sesquiterpene in the leaf oil of Lycopersicon esculentum cv. VFNT Cherry, with lesser amounts of germacrene A, guaia-6,9-diene, Germacrene B, beta-caryophyllene, alpha-humulene, and germacrene D. Soluble enzyme preparations from leaves catalyzed the divalent metal ion-dependent cyclization of [1-3H]farnesyl diphosphate to these same sesquiterpene olefins, as determined by radio-GC. To obtain a germacrene synthase cDNA, a set of degenerate primers was constructed based on conserved amino acid sequences of related terpenoid cyclases. With cDNA prepared from leaf epidermis-enriched mRNA, these primers amplified a 767-bp fragment that was used as a hybridization probe to screen the cDNA library. Thirty-one clones were evaluated for functional expression of terpenoid cyclase activity in Escherichia coli by using labeled geranyl, farnesyl, and geranylgeranyl diphosphates as substrates. Nine cDNA isolates expressed sesquiterpene synthase activity, and GC-MS analysis of the products identified germacrene C with smaller amounts of germacrene A, B, and D. None of the expressed proteins was active with geranylgeranyl diphosphate; however, one truncated protein converted geranyl diphosphate to the monoterpene limonene. The cDNA inserts specify a deduced polypeptide of 548 amino acids (Mr = 64,114), and sequence comparison with other plant sesquiterpene cyclases indicates that germacrene C synthase most closely resembles cotton delta-cadinene synthase (50% identity).

Cloning, expression, purification and characterization of recombinant (+)-germacrene D synthase from Zingiber officinale

Arch Biochem Biophys 2006 Aug 1;452(1):17-28.PMID:16839518DOI:10.1016/j.abb.2006.06.007.

A cDNA clone encoding a sesquiterpene synthase, (+)-germacrene D synthase, has been isolated from ginger (Zingiber officinale). The full-length cDNA (AY860846) contains a 1650-bp open reading frame coding for 550 amino acids (63.8kDa) with a theoretical pI=5.59. The deduced amino acid sequence is 30-46% identical with sequences of other sesquiterpene synthases from angiosperms. The recombinant enzyme, produced in Escherichia coli, catalyzed the formation of a major product, (+)-germacrene D (50.2% of total sesquiterpenoids produced) and a co-product, Germacrene B (17.1%) and a number of minor by-products. The optimal pH for the recombinant enzyme is around 7.5. Substantial (+)-germacrene D synthase activity is observed in the presence of Mg2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ or Co2+, while the enzyme is inactive when Cu2+ or Zn2+ is used. The Km- and kcat-values are 0.88 microM and 3.34 x 10(-3) s(-1), respectively. A reaction mechanism involving a double 1,2-hydride shift has been established using deuterium labeled substrates in combination with GC-MS analysis.
