Evaluation of Manassantin A Tetrahydrofuran Core Region Analogues and Cooperative Therapeutic Effects with EGFR Inhibition
摘要:
Tumors adapt to hypoxia by regulating angiogenesis, metastatic potential, and metabolism. These adaptations mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) make tumors more aggressive and resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. Therefore, HIF-1 is a validated therapeutic target for cancer. In order to develop new HIF-1 inhibitors for cancer chemotherapy by harnessing the potential of the natural product manassantin A, we synthesized and evaluated manassantin A analogues with modifications in the tetrahydrofuran core region of manassantin A. Our structure-activity relationship study indicated that the alpha,alpha'-trans-configuration of the central ring of manassantin A is critical to HIF-1 inhibition. We also demonstrated that a combination of manassantin A with an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor shows cooperative antitumor activity (similar to 80% inhibition for combination vs similar to 30% inhibition for monotherapy). Our findings will provide important frameworks for the future therapeutic development of manassantin A-derived chemotherapeutic agents.
Nucleophilic Addition of Organozinc Reagents to 2-Sulfonyl Cyclic Ethers: Stereoselective Synthesis of Manassantins A and B
摘要:
A convergent route to the synthesis of manassantins A and B, potent Inhibitors of HIF-1, is described. Central to the synthesis is a stereoselective addition of an organozinc reagent to a 2-benzenesulfonyl cyclic ether to achieve the 2,3-cis-3,4-trans-4,5-cis-tetrahydrofuran of the natural products. Preliminary structure-activity relationships suggested that the (R)-configuration at C-7 and C-7''' is not critical for HIF-1 inhibition. In addition, the hydroxyl group at C-7 and C-7''' can be replaced with a carbonyl group without loss of activity.
