Conjugates of Modified Cryptophycins and RGD-Peptides Enter Target Cells by Endocytosis
摘要:
Tumor targeting anticancer drug conjugates that contain a tumor recognition motif (homing device) are of high current relevance. Cryptophycins, naturally occurring cytotoxic cyclo-depsipeptides, have been modified by total synthesis to provide analogues suitable for conjugation to peptide-based homing devices. An array of functionalized beta(2)-amino acids was synthesized and incorporated into cryptophycins. All analogues proved to be highly active in the cytotoxicity assay using the human cervix carcinoma cell line KB-3-1 and its multidrug-resistant subclone KB-V1. Conformational analysis of cryptophycin-52 and two synthetic analogues was performed by NMR and MD methods to obtain information on the influence of the unit C configuration on the overall conformation. An azide-functionalized cryptophycin was connected by CuAAC to an alkyne-containing fluorescently labeled cyclic RGD-peptide as the homing device for internalization studies. Confocal fluorescence microscopy proved integrin-mediated internalization by endocytosis and final lysosomal localization of the cryptophycin prodrug.
The first syntheses of bioactive cryptophycins functionalized at unit ID were accomplished ina one-pot Staudinger reduction/cyclization step An a/ado precursor for the lower part of the backbone was introduced to minimize protective group chemistry and enable a very convenient synthesis of cryptophycin-52 and unit D eryptophycin analogues containing an ester or a free carboxylic acid for bioconjugations Both new cryptophycin derivatives show high biological activity in cytotoxicity assays

The convergent total synthesis of cryptophycins C and D is described. It has been shown that in both natural products the absoluteconfiguration of the a-amino acid corresponds to the D-series. The structural assignment for cryptophycin C has been corrected to reflect this fact. Since the structure of cryptophycin A has been correlated to cryptophycin C, the chloro-0-methyltyrosine unit in cryptophycin
描述了隐霉素 C 和 D 的收敛全合成。已经表明,在两种天然产物中,α-氨基酸的绝对构型对应于 D 系列。已更正了隐藻素 C 的结构分配以反映这一事实。由于隐藻素A的结构与隐藻素C相关,隐藻素A中的氯-0-甲基酪氨酸单元具有D-构型。隐藻素是与陆生蓝绿藻 Nostoc sp. 相关的强效肿瘤选择性细胞毒素。GSV 224' 和 Nostoc sp。ATCC 53789.2 每种藻类中的主要细胞毒素,cryptophycin A,对植入小鼠的实体瘤(包括耐药性肿瘤)显示出极好的活性。超过 20 种相关的细胞毒素作为次要成分存在于 GSV 224 菌株中,以及这些化合物中的一些,例如,隐藻素 B 和 C,已被分离出足够的量用于体内评估。~为了获得足够数量的选定天然存在的隐藻素和合成类似物,用于构效关系 (SAR) 研究、临床前评估和人类临床试验,我们设计了一个通用的合成。正如原始论文中所述,Cryptophycins
