Pre-mRNA splicing-modulatory pharmacophores: the total synthesis of herboxidiene, a pladienolide-herboxidiene hybrid analog and related derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Herboxidiene is a natural product that has previously been shown to exhibit antitumor activity by targeting the spliceosome. This activity makes herboxidiene a valuable starting point for the development of anticancer drugs. Here, we report an improved enantioselective synthesis of herboxidiene and the first report of its biologically active totally synthetic analog: 6-norherboxidiene. The synthesis of the tetrahydropyran moiety utilizes the novel application of inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder chemistry and the Ferrier-type rearrangement as key steps. We report, for the first time, cytotoxicity IC50s for synthetic herboxidiene and analogs in human tumor cell lines. We have also demonstrated that synthetic herboxidiene and its analogs can potently modulate the alternate splicing of MDM-2 pre-mRNA.

Design and synthesis of herboxidiene derivatives that potently inhibit <i>in vitro</i> splicing.

Project description:Herboxidiene is a potent antitumor agent that targets the SF3B subunit of the spliceosome. Herboxidiene possesses a complex structural architecture with nine stereocenters and design of potent less complex structures would be of interest as a drug lead as well as a tool for studying SF3B1 function in splicing. We investigated a number of C-6 modified herboxidiene derivatives in an effort to eliminate this stereocenter and, also to understand the importance of this functionality. The syntheses of structural variants involved a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction as the key step. The functionalized tetrahydrofuran core has been constructed from commercially available optically active tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal. We investigated the effect of these derivatives on splicing chemistry. The C-6 alkene derivative showed very potent splicing inhibitory activity similar to herboxidiene. Furthermore, the C-6 gem-dimethyl derivative also exhibited very potent in vitro splicing inhibitory activity comparable to herboxidiene.

Design, synthesis and in vitro splicing inhibition of desmethyl and carba-derivatives of herboxidiene.

Project description:Herboxidiene is a potent inhibitor of spliceosomes. It exhibits excellent anticancer activity against multiple human cancer cell lines. Herein, we describe an enantioselective synthesis of a desmethyl derivative and the corresponding carba-derivatives of herboxidiene. The synthesis involved Suzuki coupling of a vinyl iodide with boronate as the key reaction. For the synthesis of carba-derivatives, the corresponding optically active cyclohexane-1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives were synthesized using an enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-anhydride. The biological properties of these derivatives were evaluated in an in vitro splicing assay.

Total Syntheses of Pladienolide-Derived Spliceosome Modulators.

Project description:Pladienolides, an emerging class of naturally occurring spliceosome modulators, exhibit interesting structural features, such as highly substituted 12-membered macrocycles and epoxide-containing diene side chains. The potential of pladienolides as anti-cancer agents is confirmed by H3B-8800, a synthetic analog of this natural product class, which is currently under Phase I clinical trials. Since its isolation in 2004 and the first total synthesis in 2007, a dozen total syntheses and synthetic approaches toward the pladienolide class have been reported to date. This review focuses on the eight completed total syntheses of naturally occurring pladienolides or their synthetic analogs, in addition to a synthetic approach to the main framework of the natural product.

Design, synthesis and initial biological evaluation of a novel pladienolide analog scaffold.

Project description:A novel and simplified synthetic scaffold based on pladienolide was designed using a consensus pharmacophore hypothesis. An initial target was synthesized and evaluated to examine the role of the 3-hydroxy group and the methyl groups present at positions 10, 16, 20, 22 in 1, on biological activity. We report the first totally synthetic analog of this macrolide that shows biological activity. Our novel synthetic strategy enables the rapid synthesis of other new analogs of pladienolide in order to develop selective anticancer lead compounds.

Herboxidiene triggers splicing repression and abiotic stress responses in plants.

Project description:BackgroundConstitutive and alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs from multiexonic genes controls the diversity of the proteome; these precisely regulated processes also fine-tune responses to cues related to growth, development, and stresses. Small-molecule inhibitors that perturb splicing provide invaluable tools for use as chemical probes to uncover the molecular underpinnings of splicing regulation and as potential anticancer compounds.ResultsHere, we show that herboxidiene (GEX1A) inhibits both constitutive and alternative splicing. Moreover, GEX1A activates genome-wide transcriptional patterns involved in abiotic stress responses in plants. GEX1A treatment -activated ABA-inducible promoters, and led to stomatal closure. Interestingly, GEX1A and pladienolide B (PB) elicited similar cellular changes, including alterations in the patterns of transcription and splicing, suggesting that these compounds might target the same spliceosome complex in plant cells.ConclusionsOur study establishes GEX1A as a potent splicing inhibitor in plants that can be used to probe the assembly, dynamics, and molecular functions of the spliceosome and to study the interplay between splicing stress and abiotic stresses, as well as having potential biotechnological applications.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated target validation of the splicing inhibitor Pladienolide B.

Project description:CRISPR/Cas9 system confers molecular immunity in archeal and bacterial species against invading foreign nucleic acids. CRISPR/Cas9 system is used for genome engineering applications across diverse eukaryotic species. In this study, we demonstrate the utility of the CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering system for drug target validation in human cells. Pladienolide B is a natural macrolide with antitumor activities mediated through the inhibition of pre-mRNA splicing. To validate the spliceosomal target of Pladienolide B, we employed the CRSIPR/Cas9 system to introduce targeted mutations in the subunits of the SF3B complex in the HEK293T cells. Our data reveal that targeted mutagenesis of the SF3b1 subunit exhibited higher levels of resistance to Pladienolide B. Therefore, our data validate the spliceosomal target of Pladienolide B and provide a proof of concept on using the CRISPR/Cas9 system for drug target identification and validation.

Rapid block of pre-mRNA splicing by chemical inhibition of analog-sensitive CRK9 in Trypanosoma brucei.

Project description:Trypanosoma brucei CRK9 is an essential cyclin-dependent kinase for the parasite-specific mode of pre-mRNA processing. In trypanosomes, protein coding genes are arranged in directional arrays that are transcribed polycistronically, and individual mRNAs are generated by spliced leader trans-splicing and polyadenylation, processes that are functionally linked. Since CRK9 silencing caused a decline of mRNAs, a concomitant increase of unspliced pre-mRNAs and the disappearance of the trans-splicing Y structure intermediate, CRK9 is essential for the first step of splicing. CRK9 depletion also caused a loss of phosphorylation in RPB1, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase (pol) II. Here, we established cell lines that exclusively express analog-sensitive CRK9 (CRK9AS ). Inhibition of CRK9AS in these cells by the ATP-competitive inhibitor 1-NM-PP1 reproduced the splicing defects and proved that it is the CKR9 kinase activity that is required for pre-mRNA processing. Since defective trans-splicing was detected as early as 5 min after inhibitor addition, CRK9 presumably carries out reversible phosphorylation on the pre-mRNA processing machinery. Loss of RPB1 phosphorylation, however, took 12-24 hr. Surprisingly, RNA pol II-mediated RNA synthesis in 24 hr-treated cells was upregulated, indicating that, in contrast to other eukaryotes, RPB1 phosphorylation is not a prerequisite for transcription in trypanosomes.

Modulation of RNA splicing associated with Wnt signaling pathway using FD-895 and pladienolide B.

Project description:Alterations in RNA splicing are associated with different malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma, and solid tumors. The RNA splicing modulators such as FD-895 and pladienolide B have been investigated in different malignancies to target/modulate spliceosome for therapeutic purpose. Different cell lines were screened using an RNA splicing modulator to test in vitro cytotoxicity and the ability to modulate RNA splicing capability via induction of intron retention (using RT-PCR and qPCR). The Cignal Finder Reporter Array evaluated [pathways affected by the splice modulators in HeLa cells. Further, the candidates associated with the pathways were validated at protein level using western blot assay, and gene-gene interaction studies were carried out using GeneMANIA. We show that FD-895 and pladienolide B induces higher apoptosis levels than conventional chemotherapy in different solid tumors. In addition, both agents modulate Wnt signaling pathways and mRNA splicing. Specifically, FD-895 and pladienolide B significantly downregulates Wnt signaling pathway-associated transcripts (GSK3β and LRP5) and both transcript and proteins including LEF1, CCND1, LRP6, and pLRP6 at the transcript, total protein, and protein phosphorylation's levels. These results indicate FD-895 and pladienolide B inhibit Wnt signaling by decreasing LRP6 phosphorylation and modulating mRNA splicing through induction of intron retention in solid tumors.
