replaces the pharmacophore’s oxycarbonyl by an amide group, displays improved potency as an inhibitor of cancer cell proliferation, as a regulator of alternative splicing in cultured cells and as an inhibitor of in vitro spliceosome assembly. Sudemycin K displays higher stability, likely related to the replacement of the oxycarbonyl group, which can be a substrate of esterases, by an amide group. The activity
前mRNA剪接过程与癌症之间存在重要联系,例如肿瘤中剪接因子的频繁突变以及靶向剪接机制组分的各种抗肿瘤药物家族的出现,尤其是SF3B1(剪接体的蛋白质亚基) U2小核糖核蛋白颗粒(snRNP)。Sudemycins是具有各种剪接抑制剂共有的药效基团的合成化合物。在这里,我们描述了新型sudemycin类似物的合成和功能表征,它们在功能上探究了该药效团内的关键化学基团。我们的结果证实了共轭二烯基的重要性,此外还揭示了在该分子区域中显着的空间柔性。Sudemycin K,体外剪接体组装。Sudemycin K显示出更高的稳定性,这可能与酰胺基取代了可能是酯酶底物的氧羰基有关。sudemycin K的活性和特殊反应性可以为合成和评估各种新型sudemycin衍生物铺平道路。
