(−)-Agelastatin A (AA), isolated from the coral sea axinellid sponge Agelas dendromorpha, has shown a high antineoplastic activity. We have synthesized eighteen AA analogues and analyzed their cytotoxicities towards three cancer cell lines. By the structure–activity relationship (SAR) study, we identified three novel analogues with higher or comparable cytotoxic activities to AA. They were subjected to chemoinformatic analysis, which revealed physicochemical properties favoring excellent central nervous system (CNS) penetration. CNS pharmacokinetic analysis in murine models validated the chemoinformatic prediction and revealed that these analogues indeed had better CNS penetration than AA. These novel potent AA analogues deserve further evaluation for therapeutic use against cancers, particularly primary and secondary brain tumors.

化学信息学分析,结果显示其物理
化学特性有利于优良的中枢神经系统(CNS)穿透。在小鼠模型中的CNS药代动力学分析验证了
化学信息学的预测,并揭示这些类似物确实比
AA具有更好的CNS穿透能力。这些新型的强效
AA类似物值得进一步评估以用于癌症治疗,尤其是原发性和继发性脑肿瘤。
