<p>13-[CH2CO-Cys-(Bzl)-OBzl]-Berberine: Exploring The Correlation Of Anti-Tumor Efficacy With ROS And Apoptosis Protein</p>
摘要:
Background: The discovery of novel derivative of berberine (BBR) having higher antitumor activity in vivo is of clinical importance. In this profile, 13-[CH2CO-Cys-(Bzl)-OBzl]-berberine (13-Cys-BBR) was prepared for related assays.Purpose: The object of preparation and evaluation is to show the advantages of 13-Cys-BBR over BBR in both in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor actions, furthermore to correlate the proliferation of cancer cells with ROS formation and anti-apoptosis protein (XIAP) expression inside cancer cells.Methods: Transwell chamber was used to simulate the intestinal and cell wall for bioavailability evaluation; MTT assay was used to evaluate the in vitro anti-proliferation activity; fluorescein isothiocyanate content was used to represent ROS level in HCT-8 cells; Western blot assay was used to quantify the expression of XIAP, caspase-3, and poly ADP-ribose polymerase in HCT-8 cells; and 5180 mouse model was used to evaluate the in vivo antitumor activity.Results: In vitro the IC50 values (similar to 15-40 mu M) of 13-Cys-BBR against the proliferation of eight cancer cell lines were significantly lower than those of BBR (similar to 25-140 mu M); the content of ROS formed inside HCT-8 cells treated by 13-Cys-BBR was similar to 3.44-folds higher than that inside HCT-8 cells treated by BBR; the expression of XIAP in HCT-8 cells treated by 13-Cys-BBR was similar to 1.21-folds lower than that in HCT-8 cells treated by BBR; the tumor weight of 5180 mice orally treated by 2 mu mol/kg/day of 13-Cys-BBR (similar to 1.5 g) was significantly lower than that of 5180 mice orally treated by 2 mu mol/kg/day of BBR (similar to 2.5 g); and the active pocket of XIAP was more suitable for 13-Cys-BBR than for BBR.Conclusion: The anti-tumor action correlates with ROS and apoptosis protein, which suggests 13-Cys-BBR is a promising candidate for preclinical study.
antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, including Newman strain and multidrug-resistant strains (NRS-1, NRS-70, NRS-100, NRS-108, and NRS-271). Compound 20 shows the most potent activity against the growth of Newman strain, with a MIC value of 0.78 μg/mL, which is comparable with the positive control vancomycin. In addition, compound 20, 21, and 33 are highly antistaphylococcal active against

An alternative route to 13-substituted derivatives of the biologically active alkaloid berberine has been developed based on the key synthetic precursor, 8-allyldihydroberberine.
berberine’s derivatives were only found active on Helicobacter pylori and Vibrio alginolyticus (MIC values of 1.5–3.12 µM). Cytotoxicity assays performed on human cells showed that the antimicrobial berberine derivatives caused low toxicity resulting in good therapeutic index values. In addition, a mechanistic approach demonstrated that, contrarily to already known berberine derivatives causing either
