The Ginkgo biloba tree is among the oldest living plants and is referred to as a “living fossil”. It was introduced into the Western world in the 18th century and admired for its unique beauty, especially the leaves, as exemplified by a 1815 poem by Wilhelm von Goethe referring to its beauty (Goethe, 1819). The Ginkgo tree has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, but it was not until the 1960's that a standardized extract of G. biloba leaves, EGb 761, was introduced into the European markets (Defeudis, 1998). Today G. biloba extract is one of the most popular botanical medicines worldwide.
Numerous beneficial effects of EGb 761 has been postulated including improving neuroprotection in Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, inexorable loss of cognitive function associated with an excessive number of senile plaques in the cerebral cortex and subcortical gray matter, which also contains β-amyloid and neurofibrillary tangles consisting of tau protein. The cause of Alzheimer's disease is not known (Merck Manual, 1999).
EGb 761 has also been postulated in improving peripheral vascular function, inhibition of thrombosis and embolism cognitive disorders, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative activities, as well as antioxidant activities (Defeudis, 2000). EGb 761 is a complex mixture of compounds, the main ingredients being flavonoids and terpene trilactones (ginkgolides and bilobalide) that comprise 24% and 6%, respectively, of the total extract (Ahlemeyer, 1998; Drieu, 1986). It is considered that the flavonoids act as antioxidants, while the terpene trilactones are involved in anti-inflammation and prevention of blood clotting associated with the antagonistic activity at the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor (McKenna, 2001). However, the neuroprotective effects of EGb 761 have so far not been associated with specific components of the extract (Peskind, 1998; Simonson, 1998).
The terpene trilactones, the ginkgolides (
In contrast to many studies on the neuroprotective effects of EGb 761, the ginkgolides have not been extensively studied partly due to limited availability of pure ginkgolides. The finding in 1985 that ginkgolide B (GB, 2) was a potent antagonist of the PAF receptor (PAFR) (Braquet, 1986; Braquet, 1985) led to extensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies on this receptor (Rapin, 1998; Braquet, 1987; Braquet, 1991; Hu, 2001; Hu, 2000; Hu, 2000; Corey, 1991; Park, 1993; Park, 1995; Stromgaard, 2002). However, the significance of these effects in relation to the neuroprotective effects of EGb 761 is not clear (Stromgaard, 2003).
The first indication of a direct interaction of ginkgolides with important targets in the brain was discovered when ginkgolides were shown to be potent and highly selective antagonists of the inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR) (Stromgaard, 2003; Kondratskaya, 2002). The GlyR is a ligand-gated ion channel found primarily in spinal cord and brain stem, but also in higher brain regions such as hippocampus and developing cortex that consists of α1-α4 and β subunits (Betz, 2001). Only a few ligands for GlyRs have been available, the classical example being the convulsant strychnine, a competitive antagonist. However, since the neuropharmacology and functional importance of GlyRs in higher brain regions is not well characterized (Chattipakorn, 2002) new potent and selective ligands are needed for further investigations of the GlyR.
The introduction of combinatorial chemistry and application of related techniques such as parallel or split-and-pool synthesis, solid and solution-phase strategies have opened avenues to libraries of various compounds (Marcaurelle, 2002; Arya, 2001; Ganesan, 2002; Abel, 2002; Krchnak, 2002; Schreiber, 2000). These compounds could be entirely artificial or derivatives of natural products with possible enhanced bioactivities. Recently diversity-oriented semi-synthetic methods have been used for the preparation of library of natural product derivatives for biological activity studies (Abel, 2002). In the following we describe a parallel solution-phase synthesis of a ginkgolide combinatorial library. Diversity is achieved by modification of traditional synthetic methods to prepare novel ginkgolide derivatives in a selective fashion. The ginkgolide derivatives have been evaluated as antagonists of the GlyR using a fluorescence-based high-throughput screening assay.

Experimental Details
Materials and Methods. All reactions were performed under argon at ambient temperature in dry solvents and yields refer to isolated products, unless otherwise stated. GC (3) originated from early structural studies (Maruyama, 1967; Maruyama, 1967; Maruyama, 1967; Maruyama, 1967; Woods, 1967), and was recrystalized from ethanol/water and dried in dessicator. All other reagents were purchased and used as received. Polystyrene resin, Wang resin and bromopolystyrene resin were obtained from Advanced ChemTech, DES resin and sulfonyl chloride resin were obtained from Aldrich, Tentagel® resin was purchased from Rapp-Polymere Gmbh. Reactions were monitored by analytical TLC with silica gel 60 F254 and spots were visualized by heating and UV light (254 nm). Flash chromatography was performed using silica gel (230-400 mesh).
1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded with Bruker (300, 400 or 500 MHz) spectrometers. The chemical shifts are expressed in ppm (δ)downfield from tetramethylsilane (in CDCl3) or calibrated according to residual solvent peak as an internal standard (DMSO-d6, δ 2.50, MeOD, δ 3.30). Assignment of peaks was achieved using 2D methods (COSY), by comparison with published data where available and comparison with 1H-NMR spectra of parent ginkgolides. In certain cases, HSQC was used instead of 13C-NMR. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were measured on JEOL JMS-HX110/100A HF mass spectrometer under FAB conditions with NBA as the matrix. In general, all ginkgolide derivatives decomposed above 250° C.

Biological Testing
Functional glycine receptor assay. Pharmacological activities of the compounds were evaluated in a FLIPR® Membrane Potential Assay (Molecular Deives, Crawley, UK) using a HEK293 cell line stably expressing the human homomeric α1 GlyR.53 Briefly, α1 GlyR-HEK293 cells were split into poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well black Opti-plates (Packard). 16-24 h later, the medium was aspirated, and 100 mL KREBS Buffer [140 mM NaCl/4.7 mM KCl/2.5 mM CaCl2/1.2 mM MgCl2/10 mM HEPES/11 mM D-Glucose, pH 7.4] supplemented with FLIPR® Membrane Potential Assay loading dye and various concentrations of the test compounds was added to the wells. The plate was incubated at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator for 30 min and assayed in a NOVOstar™ (BMG Labtechnologies, Offenburg, Germany) measuring emission at 560 nm caused by a 530 nm excitation. Fluorescence measurements were performed immediately before and up to 1 min. after addition of glycine (final concentration 100 mM) to the wells. The experiments were performed in duplicate at least three times for each compound. Percentage inhibition was calculated as: (Responseglycine−Responsetest cmpd+glycine)/Responseglycine. Inhibition below 20% is characterized as no inhibition (NI).
Results
Synthesis
Ginkgolide C (GC, 3,
Solid-phase synthesis. The use of solid-phase synthesis (SPS) for the preparation of ginkgolide derivatives appeared to be particularly attractive, as the lack of chromophores renders them difficult to handle in solution. Moreover, the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups provides several possibilities of solid-phase attachment. GC (3) has four different hydroxyl groups, three secondary and one tertiary, which exhibit different reactivities and can therefore be functionalized selectively. In general, 10-OH is the most reactive for alkylation and esterification (Corey, 1992). However, acid catalyzed esterification (Jaracz, 2002), as well as reaction of GC (3) with alkyl and aryl sulfonyl halides takes place at 7-OH (Cazaux, 1995; Vogensen, 2003) a selective silylation at 1-OH has also been described (Weingers, 1991).
Initially, attempts were made to use a silicon linker, which could be attached selectively to 1-OH of GC (3), followed by selective derivatizations of 10-OH, 7-OH, and if possible 3-OH. In a previous example of selective derivatization of 1-OH, the bulky tert-butyldiphenylsilyl was used as a protection group, which however prevented further derivatization at 10-OH (Weinges, 1991). Hence, it was envisaged that decreasing the bulk of the silicon linker could allow further derivatization of 10-OH. Three silicon linkers with variation in the steric bulk at silicon were synthesized according to known procedures (Chan, 1985; Randolph, 1995). Interestingly, isopropyl substituents on the silicon linker as in entry 1 (Table 1) reacted selectively at 1-OH, while decreasing the size of the substituents led to preferential reaction at 7-OH. These linkers, however, were unstable as evidenced by leaching from the resin, and no further studies were pursued.

Alternatively, the use of a sulfonyl linkage was studied by anchoring GC (3) through 7-OH, followed by selective derivatization at 10-OH and/or 1-OH and nucleophilic cleavage to provide derivatives of GB (2), and GC (3) with an inverted C-7 configuration. Therefore, a pipsyl moiety was introduced at 7-OH of GC (3) to form 7-O-pipsyl-GC (6) (Scheme 1), which was then attached to a TentaGel-NH2 resin using Pd-catalyzed carbonylation, similar to that described by Takahashi et al (Takahashi, 2001) to give 7 (Scheme 1).
Scheme 1. Attachment of ginkgolide C to solid-phase via sulfonyl linker.
However, treatment of 7 with nucleophiles such as tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride (TBAF) or tetrabutyl ammonium hydride (TBAH) did not release any ginkgolide derivatives. In addition, the solution-phase version of the same displacement of 7-O-pipsyl-GC (6) gave none of the desired products either, thus suggesting that the 7-O-sulfonyl group is not a sufficiently good leaving group as opposed to a trifoliate group (Vogensen, 2003). Attachment of GC through 1-OH or 3-OH using other methods did not lead to success probably due to steric hindrance. In addition, substituents at 3-OH readily undergo elimination leading to a thermodynamically favored a,b unsaturated lactone F (Weinges, 1987).
Instead of direct attachment of GC (3) to the solid-phase, attachment via a building block was considered. Ideally, such a building block should function as a multidetachable linker, so that depending on cleavage conditions, ginkgolide derivatives with or without the first building block could be generated. Since GC (3) can be selectively and efficiently benzylated at 10-OH with benzyl bromide under mild conditions in solution (Vogensen, 2003), a benzyl group could serve as the first building block, followed by derivatization of 7-OH, translactonization to form C-6 iso-GC derivatives, removal of 7-OH to reroute into GB derivatives, and if possible functionalize 1-OH and 3-OH, as well. Immobilization of benzyl bromide was investigated in various manners. Initially 4-(bromomethyl)-phenylacetic acid was anchored to the Wang resin and Rink amide resin to give 8 and 9, respectively (Scheme 2). The immobilized benzyl bromides were then reacted with GC (3) to give resins 10 and 11. Cleavage with TFA produced GC derivatives 12 and 13, respectively, which revealed that GC (3) was attached at 10-OH with a high selectivity. The purity of the cleaved products was >90% as determined by 1H-NMR. Benzyl bromide can also be immobilized to a silicon linker (Plunkett, 1995) representing a traceless linkage, which was also investigated. Resin 14 was synthesized in three steps from bromopolystyrene and 4-(allyldimethylsilyl)benzyl alcohol (Lee, 2001; Iglesias, 2001) followed by reaction with GC (3) to provide resin-bound 10-0-benzyl-GC 15 (Scheme 2). Cleavage with TFA provided 16 in 85% purity.
Scheme 2. Attachment of ginkgolide C to a solid-phase via 10 -O-benzyl using either Wang resin, Rink amide resin, or traceless silicon linker.
The benzylated Wang resin was selected for further investigation as it provided sufficiently pure products. Selective hydroxyl group functionalizations were studied and compared with similar reactions in solution. Treatment of resin-bound ginkgolide 10 with benzoic anhydride and Hünig's base resulted in a mixture of iso-GC benzoates and unreacted starting material (Scheme 3). On the other hand, solution-phase reaction of 10-O-benzyl-GC (16) under similar conditions produced iso-GC monobenzoate 17 as the major product.
Acetylation of resin 10 with Ac2O in the presence of Hünig's base provided iso-GC-bisacetate 18 in a purity of only ca. 60%, while the same reaction in solution provided iso-GC-bisacetate 19 in 90% purity (
Scheme 3. Comparison of ginkgolide C benzoylation using solid-phase or solution-phase chemistry.
Solution-Phase Synthesis. Because of the limitations in solid-phase strategy, further derivatizations were performed by solution-phase chemistry. 10-O-benzyl-GC (16) turned out to be a suitable precursor for a wide variety of transformations (Scheme 4). GC-7-benzoate (21) was prepared from 16 by reaction with benzoyl chloride and pyridine in CH2Cl2 in 79% yield. Iso-GC-6-benzoate 17 was efficiently formed (77% yield) by exchanging pyridine with Hünig's base. This remarkable difference in reaction pattern is associated with stabilization of a translactonized anion intermediate by hydrogen bonding with 3-OH as reported previously (Jaracz, 2002). Iso-GC-1,6-bisbenzoate 22 was also prepared in 64% yield by further increasing the amount of benzoylation reagent and prolonging the reaction time. Heating of benzoate 17 with Hünig's base in DMF to 100° C. for 1.5 h lead to a remarkable migration of benzoate from C-6 to C-1 with subsequent translactonization of the iso-GC skeleton back to the GC skeleton to form 23 (78% yield, Scheme 4). The driving force for this rearrangement is the greater thermodynamic stability of the original ginkgolide core. Namely, the bulky tert-butyl group is axial in iso-GC while it is pseudo-equatorial in GC and the 6-membered ring E in iso-GC adopts a boat conformation.
Scheme 4. Synthesis of ginkolide C benzoates. PMB =p-methoxybenzyl.
According to previously established methods23,43 10-(4-methoxy-benzyloxy)-GC (24) and 10-(2-pyridinyl-methoxy)-GC (25) were prepared from GC in 94% and 97% yields, respectively (Scheme 4). Benzoate derivatives 26, 27, 28 and 29 were prepared from 24 and 25 using the same conditions as described above for 16 (Scheme 4). The ester derivatives prepared from 24 were consequently subjected to oxidative removal of the p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) group by cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) to obtain derivatives 30, 31 and 32 (60-81% yield,
Introduction of carbamate moieties into the various hydroxyl groups of ginkgolides was next investigated since such derivatives would yield important information for SAR studies. Carbamates at C-7 were efficiently prepared from 16 in two steps (Scheme 5) by reaction with p-nitrophenylchloroformate and pyridine in CH2Cl2 to form 33 in 61% yield; carbonate 33 was further reacted with various aliphatic amines in THF to yield carbamates 34-37 (81-92% yield, Table 2).
Scheme 5. Synthesis of C-7 carbamates from 10-alkyl substituted GC.PMB =p-methoxybenzyl.
Again, a remarkable difference was observed when Hünig's base was used instead of pyridine (Scheme 6).
Scheme 6. Synthesis of C-1 carbamates from 10-alkyl substituted GC, Showing migratory mechanism. PMB=p-methoxybenzyl.
It is plausible that a highly reactive iso-GC 6-(p-nitrophenyl)carbonate is formed first, which reacts further with 1-OH as in the case of the migration of benzoate in 23. The product of this reaction, however, is cyclic carbonate 38 with a bridge between C-1 and C-6. This compound is unstable and hydrolyzes easily even on silica gel to form 16. Treatment of 38 with various aliphatic amines in THF provided facile opening of the carbonate bridge to form carbamates at C-1 with consequent translactonization of ring E into the native form, 39-42. Even bulky amines such as tert-butylamine reacted to completion in both cases forming 35 and 40, i.e., ginkgolides with two tert-butyl groups. All three reactions are performed in one pot to obtain the desired C-1 products in 50-78% yield from 16 after a single chromatography (Table 2). The corresponding sets of carbamates 44-47 (C-7) and 49-52 (C-1) were prepared from 24 (Schemes 5 and 6, Table 2), while removal of the PMB group afforded the nonaromatic ginkgolide carbamates 53-60 (Table 3).
Biological Activity
The ginkgolide derivatives were investigated for their abilities to antagonize glycine-induced responses from homomeric al GlyRs. In brief, homomeric al GlyR was stably expressed in HEK293 cells and a fluorescence-based membrane-potential kit was used to detect receptor activity. 53 The decrease in glycine response was measured by pre-incubation of the test compound prior to addition of 100 mM glycine. GC (3) was used as the reference compound. At a concentration of 10 mM GC (3) the response induced by glycine was inhibited by 97%. Due to the relatively low potency of all derivatives, they were investigated at a concentration of 100 mM for determination of the %-inhibition (Tables 2-5). However, none of the ginkgolide derivatives tested were more potent than the parent compound GC (3), and it follows that any modification of the hydroxyl groups leads to a significant decrease in biological activity. Thus, in the discussion below it should be noted that the relative differences between these derivatives are only minor since all compounds are only weak antagonists of the GlyR.

Ginkgolide derivatives with carbamates in position 1 or 7, and a benzyl or PMB group in the 10-position were either inactive at the concentrations tested, or only moderately active (Table 2). Interestingly, all derivatives with moderate activity contained a tert-butyl carbamate, and the presence of this group, rather than the position seems to be of importance for biological activity in this set of derivatives tested. For the corresponding carbamates without the benzyl or PMB group it appears as if both the position and the nature of the substituent are of importance (Table 3): Compounds 57 and 58 show a ca. 70% inhibition of the glycine responses, whereas other derivatives are either inactive or only moderately active. It is interesting to compare the activities of 57 with those of 39 and 49, the only difference being the benzyl substitution at 10-OH, thus indicating that the latter is detrimental for activity at GlyRs. Moreover, the activities of 57 and 58 compared to those of 53 and 54 show that substitution at 1-OH is preferred over 7-OH, while comparison with 59 and 60 indicates that there might be limitation to the size of the substituent that is tolerated.

Values are means of three independent experiments performed in duplicate. NI = no inhibition, i.e., inhibition below 20%. PMB = p-methoxybenzyl.
The benzylated or benzoylated derivatives in Table 4 show a certain degree of variation in activities. The most potent derivatives are those with only one benzyl substituent in 10-OH, such as compounds 16, 24 and 25, and particularly 25 with a 2-picolyl substituent exhibits a 75% inhibition. Addition of benzoyl groups do not improve activity, while the presence of only benzoyl group, such as 30 and 32 leads to a complete loss in activity (Table 4).

Values are means of three independent experiments performed in duplicate. NT = no tested. NI = no inhibition, i.e., inhibition below 20%. PMB = p-methoxybenzyl.
Finally a range of iso-ginkgolide derivatives were investigated, with some of them showing reasonable potencies (Table 5). Particularly compound 17, with a 90% inhibition in glycine responses is the most potent of the 43 derivatives, although still considerably less potent than GC (3), a 30 uM concentration of 17 giving only a 39% inhibition. However, rearrangement of the ginkgolide skeleton, as in the iso-ginkgolide derivatives, seems to be an acceptable modification for GlyR inhibition.

Discussion
We have shown that the solid-phase reactions of ginkgolides differ from those in solution; particularly, selectivity is greatly diminished. Although the preparation of linear peptides, oligosaccharides and nucleotides are performed routinely by the solid-phase method, the branched sugar analogs have to be prepared in solution using extensive protection/deprotection strategy (Plante, 2001; Tanaka, 2002; Ning, 2002). We have shown that ginkgolide C in solution can be selectively transformed into various derivatives via rearrangement and migration. Since hydroxyl groups that are unchanged in the product, e.g. 3-OH and 7-OH, participate during the reaction process their protection would presumably hamper the entire process. Thus the role of 7-OH in reactions described here is fundamental.
The synthesized ginkgolide derivatives were investigated as GlyR antagonists using a high-throughput assay, hence providing the first SAR study of ginkgolides and GlyR. In general, the ginkgolide derivatives prepared were less potent than the parent compound, GC (3) and in many cases the derivatives were totally devoid of activity. These results indicate that substitutions of the hydroxyl groups in ginkgolides are not beneficial for antagonistic activity at GlyR, and clearly other means of improving the activity of the parent compounds will be required in the future. In addition, these results show that the structure-activity relationships differ significantly from those observed with PAFR, as best exemplified by the iso-ginkgolide derivatives. When tested against PAFR, iso-GC acetates were devoid of activity;41 however, in the present studies, although much less potent than the parent GC 3, the iso-ginkgolide derivative 17 was the most potent of the compounds tested.
Previous studies have indicated that ginkgolides might antagonize GlyRs by binding to an intra-ion channel site (Stromgaard, 2002; Stromgaard, 2003), thus acting as a plug in the ion channel of the GlyR. Moreover, it was suggested that the conformation of the ginkgolide was very important for antagonistic activity (Stromgaard, 2002). This study has shown that any modification of the hydroxyl groups leads to a significant loss in activity, which could be attributed to a change in the overall structure of the ginkgolides or by a reduction in the hydrogen bonding capacity of the hydroxyl groups. Further studies are needed to elucidate the binding of ginkgolides to the GlyRs.
