Antineoplastic agents. 571. Total synthesis of bacillistatin 2.

ABSTRACT: The first total synthesis of bacillistain 2 (2) has been achieved in 24 steps and 22.9% overall yield, providing a quite efficient route with maximal convergence. Notable features of this approach include two successful applications of the Mitsunobu reaction during respective assemblies of key intermediates 22 and 27, successful employment of 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride (MNBA) in the formation by lactonization of a macrocyclic (36-membered) ring, and very flexible access to structural modifications of the bacillistatin-type cyclodepsipeptides.

Antineoplastic Agents Targeting Sphingolipid Pathways.

Project description:Emerging studies in the enigmatic area of bioactive lipids have made many exciting new discoveries in recent years. Once thought to play a strictly structural role in cellular function, it has since been determined that sphingolipids and their metabolites perform a vast variety of cellular functions beyond what was previously believed. Of utmost importance is their role in cellular signaling, for it is now well understood that select sphingolipids serve as bioactive molecules that play critical roles in both cancer cell death and survival, as well as other cellular responses such as chronic inflammation, protection from intestinal pathogens, and intrinsic protection from intestinal contents, each of which are associated with oncogenesis. Importantly, it has been demonstrated time and time again that many different tumors display dysregulation of sphingolipid metabolism, and the exact profile of said dysregulation has been proven to be useful in determining not only the presence of a tumor, but also the susceptibility to various chemotherapeutic drugs, as well as the metastasizing characteristics of the malignancies. Since these discoveries surfaced it has become apparent that the understanding of sphingolipid metabolism and profile will likely become of great importance in the clinic for both chemotherapy and diagnostics of cancer. The goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the current state of chemotherapeutic agents that target sphingolipid metabolism that are undergoing clinical trials. Additionally, we will formulate questions involving the use of sphingolipid metabolism as chemotherapeutic targets in need of further research.

Application of Mannich bases to the synthesis of hydroxymethylated isoflavonoids as potential antineoplastic agents.

Project description:The regiospecific Mannich aminomethylation of 7-hydroxyisoflavonoids using bis(N,N-dimethylamino)methane afforded C-8 substituted N,N-dimethylaminomethyl adducts, and the regioselective aminomethylation of 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyisoflavonoids afforded predominantly the C-6 substituted N,N-dimethylaminomethyl adducts. Acetylation of these C-6 or C-8 Mannich bases with potassium acetate in acetic anhydride provided access to the corresponding acetoxymethyl derivatives that were subsequently converted to hydroxymethyl- and methoxymethyl-substituted 5-hydroxy- or 7-hydroxyisoflavonoids related to naturally occurring flavonoids. The C-8 acetoxymethyl, hydroxymethyl or methoxymethyl-substituted isoflavonoids possessed promising inhibitory potency in the low micromolar range in a prostate cancer PC-3 cell proliferation assay.

Antineoplastic agents. 553. The Texas grasshopper Brachystola magna.

Project description:Bioassay (P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line and human cancer cell lines) guided separation of an extract prepared from the previously chemically uninvestigated Texas grasshopper Brachystola magna led to isolation of the cancer cell growth inhibitory pancratistatin (1), narciclasine (2), and ungeremine (3). Pancratistatin (1) was first isolated from the bulbs of Hymenocallis littoralis), and the original crystal structure was deduced by X-ray analysis of a monomethyl ether derivative. In the present study pancratistatin (1) was isolated from an extract of B. magna, which led to the X-ray crystal structure of this anticancer drug. Since isoquinoline derivatives 1-3 are previously known only as constituents of amaryllidaceous plants, some of the interesting implications of their rediscovery in the grasshopper B. magna that does not appear to utilize amaryllis family plants were discussed.

pH-responsive niosome-based nanocarriers of antineoplastic agents.

Project description:Differences in pH between the tumour interstitium and healthy tissues can be used to induce conformational changes in the nanocarrier structure, thereby triggering drug release at the desired site. In the present study, novel pH-responsive nanocarriers were developed by modifying conventional niosomes with hexadecyl-poly(acrylic acid)n copolymers (HD-PAAn). Niosomal vesicles were prepared by the thin film hydration method using Span 60, Span 60/Tween 60 and cholesterol as main constituents, and HD-PAA modifiers of different concentrations (0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 mol%). Next, two model substances, a water-soluble fluorescent dye (calcein) and a hydrophobic agent with pronounced antineoplastic activity (curcumin), were loaded in the aqueous core and hydrophobic membrane of the elaborated niosomes, respectively. Physicochemical properties of blank and loaded nanocarriers such as hydrodynamic diameter (Dh), size distribution, zeta potential, morphology and pH-responsiveness were investigated in detail. The cytotoxicity of niosomal curcumin was evaluated against human malignant cell lines of different origins (MJ, T-24, HUT-78), and the mechanistic aspects of proapoptotic effects were elucidated. The formulation composed of Span 60/Tween 60/cholesterol/2.5% HD-PAA17 exhibited optimal physicochemical characteristics (Dh 302 nm; ζ potential -22.1 mV; high curcumin entrapment 83%), pH-dependent drug release and improved cytotoxic and apoptogenic activity compared to free curcumin.

Antineoplastic agents. 579. Synthesis and cancer cell growth evaluation of E-stilstatin 3: a resveratrol structural modification.

Project description:As an extension of our earlier structure/activity investigation of resveratrol (1a) cancer cell growth inhibitory activity compared to the structurally related stilbene combretastatin series (e.g., 2a), an efficient synthesis of E-stilstatin 3 (3a) and its phosphate prodrug 3b was completed. The trans-stilbene 3a was obtained using a convergent synthesis employing a Wittig reaction with phosphonium bromide 9 as the key reaction step. Deprotection of the Z-silyl ether 13 gave E-stilstatin 3 (3a) as the exclusive product. The structure and stereochemistry of 3a was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure determination.

Total Synthesis of Neuroprotective Agents, (+)-Lycibarbarine A and (-)-Lycibarbarine B.

Project description:We describe the convergent total syntheses of lycibarbarines A and B which are potent neuroprotective agents recently isolated from the fruits of Lycium barbarum. The synthesis highlights the construction of a unique spiro oxazine heterocyclic motif imbedded in these natural products. The synthesis is accomplished from the commercially available 8-hydroxyquinaline and 2-deoxy-d-ribose as key starting materials. The synthesis features a Reimer-Tiemann reaction, selective amine alkylation with a keto tosylate derivative, and spiroketalization to form an oxazine core.

First total synthesis of protoapigenone and its analogues as potent cytotoxic agents.

Project description:Protoapigenone (1), isolated from Thelypteris torresiana, previously showed significant cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines. In a continued structure-activity relationship study, the first total synthesis and modification of 1 were achieved. All synthesized compounds and related intermediates were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines, HepG2, Hep3B, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and A549. Among them, 24 showed 2.2-14.2-fold greater cytotoxicity than 1 and naphthyl A-ring analogues remarkably enhanced the activity.

Total synthesis of plagiochin G and derivatives as potential cancer chemopreventive agents.

Project description:A new and efficient total synthesis has been developed to obtain plagiochin G (22), a macrocyclic bisbibenzyl, and four derivatives. The key 16-membered ring containing biphenyl ether and biaryl units was closed via an intramolecular SNAr reaction. All synthesized macrocyclic bisbibenzyls inhibited Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBVEA) activation induced by the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in Raji cells and, thus, are potential cancer chemopreventive agents.

Interventions to Enhance Adherence to Oral Antineoplastic Agents: A Scoping Review.

Project description:BackgroundAs new targeted oral antineoplastic therapies have emerged in recent years, the development of effective strategies that promote optimal adherence to cancer medication regimens has become an important priority.MethodsWe conducted a scoping literature review to search for English language articles published through July 15, 2019, to identify studies that reported the testing and/or evaluation of interventions to improve adherence to oral antineoplastic agents.ResultsA total of 56 articles were selected for review. Of the studies evaluated, 14 were randomized trials. All interventions except two targeted adult patients. Thirty-three studies enrolled fewer than 100 patients. Most interventions were education- and counseling-based and centered on provision of information about the drug and strategies to manage side effects. Only eight studies used an mHealth tool and/or text messages to target nonadherence. Among studies with a comparison sample, fewer than one-half (44.7%) reported statistically significant improvements in adherence or persistence associated with the intervention; however, some pharmacist-directed programs, particularly those that integrated monitoring or routine follow-up with a provider, did demonstrate efficacy.ConclusionAlthough the development of adherence-promoting interventions for oral antineoplastic therapies has increased recently, few have been rigorously tested. The nascent literature suggests those that are pharmacist directed and use regular monitoring show promise, though additional prospective studies are needed. Study methodology, population selection, and potential challenges that may be encountered in the implementation and dissemination phases should be considered when developing new interventions to address nonadherence to oral antineoplastic treatment.

Antineoplastic agents. 556. Isolation and structure of Coprinastatin 1 from Coprinus cinereus.

Project description:Cancer cell line bioassay-guided separation of an ethyl acetate extract prepared from a plant-associated fungus, Coprinus cinereus, led to the isolation of three new sesquiterpenes, coprinastatin 1 (1), coprinol (2), and the epimer (4a), of the known sesquiterpene triol (4b). The previously described sesquiterpene 3 and oxazolinone 5 were also isolated. The structure and relative configuration of coprinastatin 1 (1) were determined by HRMS and by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic analyses. The structure of terpene 2 was elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The remaining structures were similarly determined, structure 3 by spectroscopic analyses and both 4a and 5 by X-ray crystal structure determination. Coprinastatin 1 (1) was found to inhibit growth of the murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line and the pathogenic bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
