Aromaticine, a sesquiterpene lactone from Amblyopappus pusillus.

ABSTRACT: AROMATICINE (SYSTEMATIC NAME: 4a,8-dimethyl-3-methyl-ene-3,3a,4,4a,7a,8,9,9a-octa-hydro-azuleno[6,5-b]furan-2,5-dione), C(15)H(18)O(3), is a natural lactone isolated from Amblyopappus pusillus. The mol-ecular structure and conformation agree with the results of Romo, Joseph-Nathan & Díaz [(1964 ?). Tetra-hedron, 20, 79-85]. The fused-ring system contains a seven-membered ring in a twist-boat conformation and two five-membered rings trans fused in envelope conformations.

BODIPY-based fluorescent liposomes with sesquiterpene lactone trilobolide.

Project description:Like thapsigargin, which is undergoing clinical trials, trilobolide is a natural product with promising anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Similar to thapsigargin, it has limited aqueous solubility that strongly reduces its potential medicinal applications. The targeted delivery of hydrophobic drugs can be achieved using liposome-based carriers. Therefore, we designed a traceable liposomal drug delivery system for trilobolide. The fluorescent green-emitting dye BODIPY, cholesterol and trilobolide were used to create construct 6. The liposomes were composed of dipalmitoyl-3-trimethylammoniumpropane and phosphatidylethanolamine. The whole system was characterized by atomic force microscopy, the average size of the liposomes was 150 nm in width and 30 nm in height. We evaluated the biological activity of construct 6 and its liposomal formulation, both of which showed immunomodulatory properties in primary rat macrophages. The uptake and intracellular distribution of construct 6 and its liposomal formulation was monitored by means of live-cell fluorescence microscopy in two cancer cell lines. The encapsulation of construct 6 into the liposomes improved the drug distribution in cancer cells and was followed by cell death. This new liposomal trilobolide derivative not only retains the biological properties of pure trilobolide, but also enhances the bioavailability, and thus has potential for the use in theranostic applications.

Modulation of DNA methylation by a sesquiterpene lactone parthenolide.

Project description:Hypermethylation of 5'-cytosine-guanosine islands of tumor suppressor genes resulting in their silencing has been proposed to be a hallmark of various tumors. Modulation of DNA methylation with DNA methylation inhibitors has been shown to result in cancer cell differentiation or apoptosis and represents a novel strategy for chemotherapy. Currently, effective DNA methylation inhibitors are mainly limited to decitabine and 5-azacytidine, which still show unfavorable toxicity profiles in the clinical setting. Thus, discovery and development of novel hypomethylating agents, with a more favorable toxicity profile, is essential to broaden the spectrum of epigenetic therapy. Parthenolide, the principal bioactive sesquiterpene lactone of feverfew, has been shown to alkylate Cys(38) of p65 to inhibit nuclear factor-kappaB activation and exhibit anti-tumor activity in human malignancies. In this article, we report that parthenolide 1) inhibits DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) with an IC(50) of 3.5 microM, possibly through alkylation of the proximal thiolate of Cys(1226) of the catalytic domain by its gamma-methylene lactone, and 2) down-regulates DNMT1 expression possibly associated with its SubG(1) cell-cycle arrest or the interruption of transcriptional factor Sp1 binding to the promoter of DNMT1. These dual functions of parthenolide result in the observed in vitro and in vivo global DNA hypomethylation. Furthermore, parthenolide has been shown to reactivate tumor suppressor HIN-1 gene in vitro possibly associated with its promoter hypomethylation. Hence, our study established parthenolide as an effective DNA methylation inhibitor, representing a novel prototype for DNMT1 inhibitor discovery and development from natural structural-diversified sesquiterpene lactones.

Binding of sesquiterpene lactone inhibitors to the Ca(2+)-ATPase.

Project description:The mechanism of inhibition of the Ca(2+)-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum by the sesquiterpene lactones thapsigargin, trilobolide and thapsivillosin A (TvA) has been determined. A decrease in the affinity of the ATPase for Ca2+ is observed in the presence of the inhibitors (I), consistent with a shift in the E1/E2 equilibrium for the ATPase towards E2 forms. Amounts of inhibitor beyond a 1:1 molar ratio with ATPase produce no further decrease in affinity for Ca2+, inconsistent with the formation of a dead-end complex. Measurements of the rate of quenching of the tryptophan fluorescence of the ATPase by TvA are consistent with an association step to give E2I followed by an isomerization to a modified state E2AI. The kinetics of the reversal of the effects of TvA by Ca2+ at sub-stoichiometric amounts of TvA are bi-exponential, with a fast component whose rate is independent of TvA concentration and equal to the rate observed in the absence of TvA, and a slow component whose rate decreases with increasing TvA concentration. These observations are also consistent with the formation of a modified state E2AI following the initial binding of I to E2. The equilibrium constant E2AI/E2I increases in the order TvA < trilobolide < thapsigargin. The results suggest that the effects of the inhibitors on the overall ratio of E2 to E1 forms of the ATPase follow largely from the formation of E2AI from E2I, and that binding constants are very similar for E1Ca2, E1 and E2.

Tenulin 0.25-hydrate, a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Helenium amarum.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H22O5·0.25H2O [systematic name: 2-hy-droxy-2,2a,6,9a-tetra-methyl-2a,4a,5,6,6a,9a,9b,9c-octa-hydro-2H-1,4-dioxadi-cyclo-pent[cd,f]azulene-3,9-dione 0.25-hydrate], a natural product isolated from Helenium amarum, contains two independent tenulin mol-ecules and half a water mol-ecule of crystallization situated on a twofold rotation axis. The hy-droxy group of the hemiketal moiety is in a ?-position. In the crystal, each water mol-ecule inter-acts with four tenulin mol-ecules via O-H?O hydrogen bonds. The two independent tenulin mol-ecules (A and B) differ only in the character of their participation in hydrogen bonding. Specifically, while A is an acceptor of Owater-H?O A and a donor of O A -H?O B hydrogen bonds, mol-ecule B is an acceptor of the latter hydrogen bond and the donor of an O B -H?Owater hydrogen bond. In the crystal, these O-H?O hydrogen bonds link the tenulin and water mol-ecules into layers parallel to the ac plane.

Novel sesquiterpene lactone analogues as potent anti-breast cancer agents.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with high grade, metastatic phenotype, younger patient age, and poor prognosis. The discovery of an effective anti-TNBC agent has been a challenge in oncology. In this study, fifty-eight ester derivatives (DETDs) with a novel sesquiterpene dilactone skeleton were organically synthesized from a bioactive natural product deoxyelephantopin (DET). Among them, DETD-35 showed potent antiproliferative activities against a panel of breast cancer cell lines including TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231, without inhibiting normal mammary cells M10. DETD-35 exhibited a better effect than parental DET on inhibiting migration, invasion, and motility of MDA-MB-231 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Comparative study of DETD-35, DET and chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel (PTX) showed that PTX mainly caused a typical time-dependent G2/M cell-cycle arrest, while DETD-35 or DET treatment induced cell apoptosis. In vivo efficacy of DETD-35 was evaluated using a lung metastatic MDA-MB-231 xenograft mouse model. DETD-35 significantly suppressed metastatic pulmonary foci information along with the expression level of VEGF and COX-2 in SCID mice. DETD-35 also showed a synergistic antitumor effect with PTX in vitro and in vivo. This study suggests that the novel compound DETD-35 may have a potential to be further developed into a therapeutic or adjuvant agent for chemotherapy against metastatic TNBC.

Preparation of Sesquiterpene Lactone Derivatives: Cytotoxic Activity and Selectivity of Action.

Project description:Cancer is one of the most important causes of death worldwide. Solid tumors represent the great majority of cancers (>90%) and the chemotherapeutic agents used for their treatment are still characterized by variable efficacy and toxicity. Sesquiterpene lactones are a group of naturally occurring compounds that have displayed a diverse range of biological activities including cytotoxic activity. A series of oxygenated and oxy-nitrogenated derivatives (4?15) from the sesquiterpene lactones cumanin (1), helenalin (2), and hymenin (3) were synthesized. The silylated derivatives of helenalin, compounds 13 and 14, were found to be the most active against tumor cell lines, with GI50 values ranging from 0.15 to 0.59 ?M. The ditriazolyl cumanin derivative (11) proved to be more active and selective than cumanin in the tested breast, cervix, lung, and colon tumor cell lines. This compound was the least toxic against splenocytes (CC50 = 524.1 µM) and exhibited the greatest selectivity on tumor cell lines. This compound showed a GI50 of 2.3 µM and a SI of 227.9 on WiDr human colon tumor cell lines. Thus, compound 11 can be considered for further studies and is a candidate for the development of new antitumor agents.
