Abstract: Polyozellin is a p-terphenyl compound which was isolated from Polyozellus multiplex, and exhibits an inhibitory activity against prolyl oligopeptidase (POP). Its structure was assigned as 1 having a p-terphenyl skeleton including a p-substituted dibenzofuran moiety by spectroscopic analyses and chemical means. This paper describes the total syntheses of the proposed structure 1 for polyozellin and its o-isomer 2, revising the structure of polyozellin to the latter. These syntheses involved a double Suzuki-Miyaura coupling using chlorophenylboronic acid as a common key building block, and Cu mediated Ullmann cyclization as key steps. The inhibitory activities of synthetic compounds against POP and cancer cells were also evaluated.
