Quinazolinecarboline alkaloid evodiamine as scaffold for targeting topoisomerase I and sirtuins
摘要:
This paper reports the synthesis of a series of evodiamine derivatives. We assayed the ability to inhibit cell growth on three human tumour cell lines (H460, MCF-7 and HepG2) and we evaluated the capacity to interfere with the catalytic activity of topoisomerase I both by the relaxation assay and the occurrence of the cleavable complex. Moreover, whose effect on sirtuins 1, 2 and 3 was investigated. Finally, molecular docking analyses were performed in an attempt to rationalize the biological results. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Background and PurposeEvodiamine, a racemic quinazolinocarboline alkaloid isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Evodiae fructus, has been reported to act as an agonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid type‐1 (TRPV1) cation channel both in vitro and in vivo. Evodiamine is structurally different from all known TRPV1 activators, and has significant clinical potential as a thermogenic agent. Nevertheless, the molecular bases for its actions are still poorly understood.Experimental ApproachTo investigate the structure‐activity relationships of evodiamine, the natural racemate was resolved, and a series of 23 synthetic analogues was prepared, using as the end point the intracellular Ca2+ elevation in HEK‐293 cells stably overexpressing either the human or the rat recombinant TRPV1.Key ResultsS‐(+) evodiamine was more efficacious and potent than R‐(−) evodiamine, and a new potent lead (Evo30) was identified, more potent than the reference TRPV1 agonist, capsaicin. In general, potency and efficacy correlated with the lipophilicity of the analogues. Like other TRPV1 agonists, several synthetic analogues could efficiently desensitize TRPV1 to activation by capsaicin.Conclusions and ImplicationsEvodiamine qualifies as structurally unique lead structure to develop new potent TRPV1 agonists/desensitizers.Linked ArticlesThis article is part of a themed section on the pharmacology of TRP channels.
