Abstract

A computer-assisted chemical investigation of an intriguing photoreaction of norditerpenoids (3‒7) has been first reported, leading to not only their biomimetic conversion, but also the generation of several new products with uncommon 4,14-dioxabicyclo[10.2.1]pentadecane scaffold (8, 9, 12‒14). In bioassay, compounds 10 and 15 exhibited significant stimulation of GLP-1 secretion. This study has given an insight for the application of computational methods on the late-stage skeleton transformation of complex natural products towards new bioactive compounds.
