Pogostone or dhelwangin is a naturally occurring organic compound with the formula C12H16O4. Classified as a secondary metabolite, primarily found in patchouli, a member of the mint family Lamiaceae. [1] This plant has historically been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat ailments such as the common cold, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and fever, [2] and is also applied for its antifungal properties. [3] Pogostone was first identified in 1969 as the major antimicrobial constituent of Pogostemonis Herba, the dried aerial parts of patchouli used in herbal preparations. [4]

Structure and properties

Pogostone has the molecular formula C12H16O4. [1] [5] Pogostone (PO) was obtained as needle-like colorless crystals. [5] Its melting point was reported as 32–33 °C. [5] It features a 2H-pyranone core and was first structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, which also revealed the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding. [5]

Due to its low natural abundance in the plant, synthetic methods for pogostone production have been developed. [1] One synthetic route involves the condensation of dehydroacetic acid (DHA) with aldehydes in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) under nitrogen at low temperature (0–5 °C), followed by hydrogenation, chromatography, and crystallization. [1] [5] The reaction proceeds via deprotonation, Michael addition reaction, tautomerization, and further deprotonation steps. [5] Two diastereomeric dimers of pogostone, with (8S,9R) and (8S,9S) configurations, have also been synthesized and structurally confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray diffraction. [5]

Applications

The development of synthetic routes for pogostone and its analogues facilitates their potential application as novel antifungal agents, particularly in the treatment of azole-resistant Candida albicans infections. [1] Its anti-inflammatory activity also supports further exploration as a therapeutic agent for conditions such as septic shock. [6] However, its inhibitory effects on major cytochrome P450 enzymes warrant caution and further study regarding possible drug–drug interactions. [7]
