    Abstract Lannotinidine G is a unique Lycopodium alkaloid that features a tricyclic [6/6/6] core with 3 contiguous stereocenters and a 1,3-diene moiety in addition to a 7-membered lactone. Herein, we disclose our efforts toward the synthesis of this natural product, which achieved the construction of the aza-tricyclic core with the correct configuration at its three stereocenters. Key features of our strategy include a highly diastereoselective Fráter-Seebach alkylation and Corey-Chaykovsky type epoxide formation, an unusual aziridinium-mediated ring contraction for the formation of the piperidine moiety, and a regioselective dienyne metathesis.

    Abstract Pyrogallols (1,2,3-trihydroxybenzenes) are abundant in Nature, easily oxidized, and are central precursors to important natural products. The rich chemistry of their oxidized derivatives, the hydroxy-o-quinones, has been studied for over a century and still attracts the interest of the scientific community. Only in the last ten years have critical insights of pyrogallol chemistry from the mid-twentieth century been applied to modern natural product synthesis. Historical studies of pyrogallol chemistry, including [5+2], [4+2], and formal [5+5] cycloadditions are discussed here and reactivity guidelines established. The application and remarkable selectivity of these cycloadditions is then showcased in the recent syntheses of several fungal natural products, including dibefurin, epicolactone, the merocytochalasans, and preuisolactone A. The authors hope that this contribution will spark further interest in the fascinating chemistry of pyrogallols and natural products derived from them.

    Abstract Glycerophospholipids are major components of cellular membranes and provide important signaling molecules. Besides shaping membrane properties, some bind to specific receptors to activate biological pathways. Untangling the roles of individual glycerophospholipids requires clearly defined molecular species, a challenge that can be best addressed through chemical synthesis. However, glycerophospholipid syntheses are often lengthy due to the contrasting polarities found within these lipids. We now report a general strategy to quickly access glycerophospholipids via opening of a phosphate triester epoxide with carboxylic acids catalyzed by Jacobsen's Co(salen) complex. We show that this method can be applied to a variety of commercially available fatty acids, photoswitchable fatty acids, and other carboxylic acids to provide the corresponding glycerophosphate derivatives.

    Abstract Glycerolipids, sphingolipids, and sterols are the three major classes of membrane lipids. Both glycerolipids and sphingolipids are comprised of combinations of polar headgroups and fatty acid tails. The fatty acid tail can be chemically modified with an azobenzene photoswitch giving rise to photoswitchable lipids. This approach has yielded a number of photopharmacological tools that allow for the control various of aspects of lipid assembly, metabolism, and physiology with light.

    Abstract Molecular glues and proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have emerged as small-molecule tools that selectively induce the degradation of a chosen protein and have shown therapeutic promise. Recently, several approaches employing light as an additional stimulus to control induced protein degradation have been reported. Here, we analyze the principles guiding the design of such systems, provide a survey of the literature published to date, and discuss opportunities for further development. Light-responsive degraders enable the precise temporal and spatial control of protein levels, making them useful research tools but also potential candidates for human precision medicine.

    Abstract Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are a promising technology to degrade specific target proteins. As bifunctional small molecules, PROTACs induce the ternary complex formation between an E3 ligase and a protein of interest (POI), leading to polyubiquitylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation of the protein in a catalytic fashion. We have developed a strategy to control PROTACs with the spatiotemporal precision of light, which led to light-activated versions, termed PHOTACs (PHOtochemically TArgeted Chimeras). By incorporating an azobenzene photoswitch into the PROTAC, we can reversibly control degradation of the POI, as demonstrated for BRD2-4 and FKBP12. Here, we describe our modular approach and the application of PHOTACs for the optical control of protein levels in detail. PHOTACs hold promise as both research tools and precision pharmaceutics.

    Abstract Many aspects of cell signaling are controlled by lipids. Several signaling lipids have been functionalized with an azobenzene photoswitch to control underlying signaling dynamics with light. Herein, we provide an overview of signaling photolipids developed to date focusing on their biological applications. These include immunomodulation, kinase translocation, apoptosis, ion channel activation, G-protein coupled receptor activation, and neurogenesis.
