1-O-Hexadecyl-2-O-methyl-3-O-(2'-amino-2'-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol (1) was previously reported to show potent in vitro antitumor activity on a range of cancer cell lines derived from breast, pancreas and prostate cancer. This compound was not toxic to mice and was inactive against breast tumor xenografts in mice. This inactivity was attributed to hydrolysis of the glycosidic linkage by glycosidases. Here three N-linked (glycosylamide) analogs 2–4, one triazole-linked analog 5 of 1 as well as two diglycosylated analogs 6 and 7 with different stereochemistry at the C2-position of the glycerol moiety were synthesized and their antitumor activity against breast (JIMT-1, BT-474, MDA-MB-231), pancreas (MiaPaCa2) and prostrate (DU145, PC3) cancer cell lines was determined. The diglycosylated analogs 1-O-hexadecyl-2(R)-, 3-O-di-(2'-amino-2'-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol (7) and the 1:1 diastereomeric mixture of 1-O-hexadecyl-2(R/S), 3-O-di-(2'-amino-2'-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol (6) showed the most potent cytotoxic activity at CC50 values of 17.5 µM against PC3 cell lines. The replacement of the O-glycosidic linkage by a glycosylamide or a glycosyltriazole linkage showed little or no activity at highest concentration tested (30 µM), whereas the replacement of the glycerol moiety by triazole resulted in CC50 values in the range of 20 to 30 µM. In conclusion, the replacement of the O-glycosidic linkage by an N-glycosidic linkage or triazole-linkage resulted in about a two to three fold loss in activity, whereas the replacement of the methoxy group on the glycerol backbone by a second glucosamine moiety did not improve the activity. The stereochemistry at the C2-position of the glycero backbone has minimal effect on the anticancer activities of these diglycosylated analogs.
据先前报道,1-O-十六烷基-2-O-甲基-3-O-(2'-氨基-2'-脱氧-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基)-sn-甘油(1)对一系列来自乳腺癌、胰腺癌和前列腺癌的癌细胞系显示出强大的体外抗肿瘤活性。该化合物对小鼠无毒性,对小鼠乳腺肿瘤异种移植无活性。这种无效性是由于糖苷酶水解了糖苷键。在此,我们合成了三种 N-连接(糖基酰胺)类似物 2-4、一种 1 的三唑连接类似物 5 以及两种在甘油分子 C2 位上具有不同立体化学结构的二糖基化类似物 6 和 7,并测定了它们对乳腺癌(JIMT-1、BT-474、MDA-MB-231)、胰腺癌(MiaPaCa2)和前列腺癌(DU145、PC3)细胞系的抗肿瘤活性。二糖基化类似物 1-O-十六烷基-2(R)-, 3-O-二(2'-氨基-2'-脱氧-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基)-sn-甘油(7)和 1:1-O-hexadecyl-2(R/S), 3-O-di-(2'-amino-2'-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol(6)的非对映异构体混合物显示出最强的细胞毒性活性,对 PC3 细胞株的 CC50 值为 17.5 µM。用糖酰胺或糖基三唑取代 O-糖苷键,在测试的最高浓度(30 µM)下活性很小或没有活性,而用三唑取代甘油分子,CC50 值在 20 至 30 µM 之间。总之,用 N-糖苷键或三唑键取代 O-糖苷键会导致活性降低约 2 到 3 倍,而用第二个氨基葡萄糖取代甘油骨架上的甲氧基不会提高活性。甘油骨架 C2 位的立体化学对这些二糖基化类似物的抗癌活性影响很小。
