4-hydroxy-17-methylincisterol, an inhibitor of DNA polymerase-α activity and the growth of human cancer cells in vitro
摘要:
An ergosterol derivative, 4-hydroxy-17-methylincisterol (HMI), was found to be an inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerases in vitro. HMI inhibited the activity of calf thymus DNA polymerase alpha (pol. alpha). Among the polymerases tested, pol. alpha was the most sensitive to inhibition by HMI, and the inhibition was concentration dependent. The inhibitory effect of HMI on pol. a was almost the same as that shown by aphidicolin, a well known potent pol. alpha inhibitor. HMI had relatively less effect on rat DNA pol. beta, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-RT), and calf thymus terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) in vitro, and did not influence the activities of prokaryotic DNA polymerases such as Klenow Fragment of DNA polymerase I, or the DNA-metabolic enzyme DNase I. HMI was found to be able to prevent the growth of human cancer cell lines originating from patients with leukemia or various solid tumors; its IC50 values ranged from 7.5 to 12 mu M. We also synthesized other ergosterol derivatives and tested them, and found that two compounds, 17-methylincisterol and 4-acetyl-17-methylincisterol, have similar inhibitory effects.

The highly oxidized natural products chaxine B and BB have been synthesized from ergosterol in eight steps according to a route inspired by their proposed biosynthesis; key steps were an oxidative cascade from a furan intermediate to an enol ester using MCPBA, followed by diastereoselective epoxidation and acyloxy migration. This concisesynthesis resulted in the revision of the structures of chaxine
The synthesis of two potent osteoclast-forming suppressing agents isolated from the Chinese mushroom Agrocybe chaxingu, demethylincisterol A(3) and chaxine A. was accomplished using ergocalciferol as the starting material. Our methodology for the synthesis of demethylincisterol A(3) and chaxine A featured the construction of a butenolide moiety by the intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction under Masamune-Roush conditions. This is the first reported synthesis of chaxine A. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The synthesis of (17R)-17-methylincisterol, a highly degraded marine steroid, has been achieved starting from vitamin D-2 in 8 steps and in 13% overall yield. Its O-demethyl analog, which is an intermediate in the synthetic sequence, is possibly the true naturally occurring molecule.
