Synthesis of carbamate derivatives of iejimalides. Retention of normal antiproliferative activity and localization of binding in cancer cells
摘要:
The syntheses of six iejimalide carbamate derivatives are described. Their biological activity and those of the unmodified iejimalides A and B against breast and prostate cancer cell lines were determined. These results show that the serine hydroxyl group of iejimalides A and B is a permissive site that can be functionalized to form carbamate derivatives without significant loss of normal biological activity. This method of derivatization will be valuable for cellular target identification, mechanism of action studies, and drug development efforts. A fluorescent derivative does not exhibit binding to the cytoskeletal features of cancer cells. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Fluorogenic iminosydnones: bioorthogonal tools for double turn-on click-and-release reactions
Iminosydnones are able to quench two fluorophores when connected to their core structure. Bioorthogonal click and release reaction with cyclooctynes provokes significant fluorescence enhancement of the two products, allowing their tracking in cells.
Epolactaene, isolated from cultured Penicillium sp. BM 1689-P mycelium, induces neurite outgrowth and arrests the cell cycle of the human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y, at the G1 phase. We have found that epolactaene and its derivatives induce apoptosis in the human leukemia B-cell line, BALL-1. In this study, we prepared fluorescent and biotinylated epolactaene derivatives. We characterized the cellular location and the identification of BALL-1 proteins that reacted with these compounds. The results obtained from the reaction of epolactaene or its derivative with N-acetylcysteine methyl ester indicate that these compounds induce the disulfide formation and the alpha-position of the epoxylactam core is the reactive site.
