The two major Nicotiana tabacum tobacco cembranoids, (1S,2E,4R,6R,7E,11E)-2,7,11-cembratriene-4,6-diol (1) and its C-4 epimer, exhibit a wide range of interesting biological activities. Although the tumorigenesis inhibition activity of tobacco cembranoids have been known since the mid 1980′s, only a limited number of investigations have targeted their optimization and structure-activity relationship. This study reports the isolation of the new (1S,2E,4S,6E,8S,11E)-2,6,11-cembratriene-8-O-methyl-4,8-diol (3) and the known (1S,2E,4R,6R,7E,11E)-2,7,11-cembratriene-4-O-methyl-4,6-diol (2) from fresh N. tabacum leaves. Cembranoid 2 showed good anti-migratory activity against prostate cancer cell lines, and was therefore subjected to microbial transformation and semisynthetic optimization studies. Biotransformation of 2 using the fungal strains Cunninghamella NRRL 5695 and Mucor ramannianus ATCC 9628 afforded new (4 and 5) and known (6 and 7) metabolites. Semisynthetic esterification, oxidation, epoxidation, and reaction with Lawesson's reagent afforded the new products 8–14. Cembranoid 2 and its epoxidation product 9 showed potent anti-migratory activities against the highly metastatic human prostate cancer cell lines PC-3M-CT+ (spheroid disaggregation assay) and PC-3 (wound-healing assay).
烟草
烟碱(Nicotiana tabacum)的两种主要的烟草
烟碱(cembratranoids),即(1S,2E,4R,6R,7E,11E)-2,7,11-cembratriene-4,6-diol(1)及其 C-4 epimer,具有多种有趣的
生物活性。尽管早在 20 世纪 80 年代中期,人们就已经知道烟草 cembranoids 具有抑制肿瘤发生的活性,但针对其优化和结构-活性关系的研究为数不多。本研究报告了从烟草鲜叶中分离出的新的(1S,2E,4S,6E,8S,11E)-2,6,11-cembratriene-8-O-methyl-4,8-diol (3)和已知的(1S,2E,4R,6R,7E,11E)-2,7,11-cembratriene-4-O-methyl-4,6-diol (2)。2 对前列腺癌细胞株具有良好的抗迁移活性,因此对其进行了微
生物转化和半合成优化研究。利用真菌菌株 Cunninghamella NRRL 5695 和 Mucor ramannianus A
TCC 9628 对 2 进行
生物转化,得到了新的代谢物(4 和 5)和已知的代谢物(6 和 7)。通过半合成酯化、氧化、环氧化以及与 Lawesson 试剂反应,得到了新产品 8-14。Cembranoid 2 及其环氧化产物 9 对高度转移的人类前列腺癌
细胞系 PC-3M-CT+(球形体分解试验)和 PC-3(伤口愈合试验)显示出强大的抗迁移活性。
