The novel justicidin G analogue 13 and its phosphate ester 15 were synthesized as potential anticancer agents in several steps starting from commercially available methyl gallate and veratraldehyde. The cytotoxicity of the intermediates was tested against HCT-8, BEL-7402, KETR3, HELA, BGC-823, KB and MCF-7 cell lines by the MTT test, and compound 15 exhibited significant cytotoxicity in HELA and KB cell lines.

[15] Compound 15: White solid, mp 212-213℃. The HRESIMS of 15 established a molecular formula of C22H19O11P [m/z 513.0642 (M+Na)+, Calcd. for C22H19NaO11P: 513.0640], indicating 14 degrees of unsaturation. 1H NMR spectrum showed three methoxy groups [δH 3.70 (s, 3H, H-13), 3.94 (s, 3H, H-14), 4.13 (s, 3H, H-15)] and four aromatic protons [δH 7.51 (s, 1H, H-5), 7.05 (s, 1H, H-8), 6.70 (s, 1H, H-20), 6.83 (s, 1H, H-60)]. 13C NMR and DEPT spectra exhibited 22 carbons, including three methyls, two methylenes, sixteen quaternary carbons and one carbonyl. 31P NMR spectrum revealed the existence of one phosphate ester. The HMBC correlations of H-5/C-4, C-7, C-9 and H-8/C-1, C-6, C-10 revealed the present of naphthyl (ring A and ring B). The correlations from H-12 to C-2, C-3, C-4 and C-11 suggested the present of ring C. The correlations of H-13/C-7, H-14/ C-6 and H-15/C-4 gave the substituted positions of three methoxy groups. The linkage of ring B and D was elucidated by the HMBC correlations from H-20 and H-60 to C-1 and C-10. The correlations from H-70 to C-40 and C-50 revealed the presence of ring E. The planar structure of 15 was thus established. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6):δ7.51 (s, 1H, H-5), 7.05 (s, 1H, H-8), 5.71 (s, 2H, H-12), 3.70 (s, 3H, H-13), 3.94 (s, 3H, H-14), 4.13 (s, 3H, H-15), 6.70 (s, 1H, H-20), 6.83 (s, 1H, H-60), 6.13 (d, 2H, J=4.1 Hz, H-70). 13C NMR (125 MHz, DMSO-d6):δ132.3 (C-1), 116.9 (C-2), 119.4 (C-3), 147.8 (C-4), 101.3 (C-5), 151.7 (C-6), 150.5 (C-7), 106.0 (C-8), 128.6 (C-9), 129.7 (C-1'), 169.4 (C-11), 67.3 (C-12), 55.7 (C-13), 56.1 (C-14), 59.6 (C-15), 125.3 (C-1'), 107.6 (C-2'), 148.9 (C-3'), 137.2 (C-4'), 148.9 (C-5'), 116.9 (C-6'), 102.1 (C-7'). 31P NMR (200 MHz, DMSO-d6):δ5.83.
