Structure-activity-distribution relationship study of anti-cancer antimycin-type depsipeptides.

ABSTRACT: Small-molecule natural products have been an essential source of pharmaceuticals to treat human diseases, but very little is known about their behavior inside dynamic, live human cells. Here, we demonstrate the first structure-activity-distribution relationship (SADR) study of complex natural products, the anti-cancer antimycin-type depsipeptides, using the emerging bioorthogonal Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) Microscopy. Our results show that the intracellular enrichment and distribution of these compounds are driven by their potency and specific protein targets, as well as the lipophilic nature of compounds.

Zhaoshumycins A and B, Two Unprecedented Antimycin-Type Depsipeptides Produced by the Marine-Derived Streptomyces sp. ITBB-ZKa6.

Project description:Marine actinomycetes are prolific chemical sources of complex and novel natural products, providing an excellent chance for new drug discovery. The chemical investigation of the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. ITBB-ZKa6, from Zhaoshu island, Hainan, led to the discovery of two unique antimycin-type depsipeptides, zhaoshumycins A (1) and B (2), along with the isolation of the four known neoantimycins A (3), F (4), D (5), and E (6). The structures of the new compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated on the basis of the analysis of diverse spectroscopic data and biogenetic consideration. Zhaoshumycins A (1) and B (2) represent a new class of depsipeptides, featuring two neoantimycin monomers (only neoantimycin D or neoantimycins D and E) linked to a 1,4-disubstituted benzene ring via an imino group. Initial toxicity tests of 1-6 in MCF7 human breast cancer cells revealed that compounds 5 and 6 possess weak cytotoxic activity. Further structure-activity relationship analysis suggested the importance of the NH2 group at C-34 in 5 and 6 for cytotoxicity in MCF7 cells.

Anti-cancer efficacy of silybin derivatives -- a structure-activity relationship.

Project description:Silybin or silibinin, a flavonolignan isolated from Milk thistle seeds, is one of the popular dietary supplements and has been extensively studied for its antioxidant, hepatoprotective and anti-cancer properties. We have envisioned that potency of silybin could be further enhanced through suitable modification/s in its chemical structure. Accordingly, here, we synthesized and characterized a series of silybin derivatives namely 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS), 7-O-methylsilybin (7OM), 7-O-galloylsilybin (7OG), 7,23-disulphatesilybin (DSS), 7-O-palmitoylsilybin (7OP), and 23-O-palmitoylsilybin (23OP); and compared their anti-cancer efficacy using human bladder cancer HTB9, colon cancer HCT116 and prostate carcinoma PC3 cells. In all the 3 cell lines, DHS, 7OM and 7OG demonstrated better growth inhibitory effects and compared to silybin, while other silybin derivatives showed lesser or no efficacy. Next, we prepared the optical isomers (A and B) of silybin, DHS, 7OM and 7OG, and compared their anti-cancer efficacy. Isomers of these three silybin derivatives also showed better efficacy compared with respective silybin isomers, but in each, there was no clear cut silybin A versus B isomer activity preference. Further studies in HTB cells found that DHS, 7OM and 7OG exert better apoptotic activity than silibinin. Clonogenic assays in HTB9 cells further confirmed that both the racemic mixtures as well as pure optical isomers of DHS, 7OM and 7OG were more effective than silybin. Overall, these results clearly suggest that the anti-cancer efficacy of silybin could be significantly enhanced through structural modifications, and identify strong anti-cancer efficacy of silybin derivatives, namely DHS, 7OM, and 7OG, signifying that their efficacy and toxicity should be evaluated in relevant pre-clinical cancer models in rodents.

Structure features of peptide-type SARS-CoV main protease inhibitors: Quantitative structure activity relationship study.

Project description:In the present work, an extensive QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships) analysis of a series of peptide-type SARS-CoV main protease (MPro) inhibitors following the OECD guidelines has been accomplished. The analysis was aimed to identify salient and concealed structural features that govern the MPro inhibitory activity of peptide-type compounds. The QSAR analysis is based on a dataset of sixty-two peptide-type compounds which resulted in the generation of statistically robust and highly predictive multiple models. All the developed models were validated extensively and satisfy the threshold values for many statistical parameters (for e.g. R2 ?= ?0.80-0.82, Q2 loo ?= ?0.74-0.77, Q 2 LMO ?= ?0.66-0.67). The developed QSAR models identified number of sp2 hybridized Oxygen atoms within seven bonds from aromatic Carbon atoms, the presence of Carbon and Nitrogen atoms at a topological distance of 3 and other interrelations of atom pairs as important pharmacophoric features. Hence, the present QSAR models have a good balance of Qualitative (Descriptive QSARs) and Quantitative (Predictive QSARs) approaches, therefore useful for future modifications of peptide-type compounds for anti- SARS-CoV activity.

A quantitative structure-activity relationship study of anti-HIV activity of substituted HEPT using nonlinear models.

Project description:We performed studies on extended series of 79 HEPT ligands (1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine), inhibitors of HIV reverse-transcriptase with anti-HIV biological activity, using quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methods that imply analysis of correlations and representation of models. A suitable set of molecular descriptors was calculated, and the genetic algorithm was employed to select those descriptors which resulted in the best-fit models. The kernel partial least square and Levenberg-Marquardt artificial neural network were utilized to construct the nonlinear QSAR models. The proposed methods will be of great significance in this research, and would be expected to apply to other similar research fields.

Anti-dengue-virus activity and structure-activity relationship studies of lycorine derivatives.

Project description:Dengue is a systemic viral infection that is transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitoes. No vaccines or specific therapeutics are currently available for dengue. Lycorine, which is a natural plant alkaloid, has been shown to possess antiviral activities against flaviviruses. In this study, a series of novel lycorine derivatives were synthesized and assayed for their inhibition of dengue virus (DENV) in cell cultures. Among the lycorine analogues, 1-acetyllycorine exhibited the most potent anti-DENV activity (EC50 =0.4 μM) with a reduced cytotoxicity (CC50 >300 μM), which resulted in a selectivity index (CC50 /EC50 ) of more than 750. The ketones 1-acetyl-2-oxolycorine (EC50 =1.8 μM) and 2-oxolycorine (EC50 =0.5 μM) also exhibited excellent antiviral activities with low cytotoxicity. Structure-activity relationships for the lycorine derivatives against DENV are discussed. A three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship model was established by using a comparative molecular-field analysis protocol in order to rationalize the experimental results. Further modifications of the hydroxy group at the C1 position with retention of a ketone at the C2 position could potentially lead to inhibitors with improved overall properties.

Structure-activity relationship and pharmacokinetic studies of 3-O-substitutedflavonols as anti-prostate cancer agents.

Project description:Thirty-eight 3-O-substituted-3',4'-dimethoxyflavonols and twenty-five 3-O-substituted-3',4',7-trimethoxyflavonols have been synthesized for systematic investigation on the structure-activity relationships of 3-O-substituted-3',4'-dimethoxyflavonols in three human prostate cancer cell models. Our findings indicate that incorporation of an appropriate amino group to 3-OH of 3',4'-dimethoxyflavonol and 3',4',7-trimethoxyflavonol through a 3- to 5-carbon linker can substantially improve the in vitro antiproliferative potency in three human prostate cancer cell models, but not in two non-neoplastic human epithelial cell models (MCF 10A and PWR-1E). 1-Methylpiperazine, pyrrolidine, and dibutylamine are optimal terminal amine groups that, in combination with a 3- to 5-carbon linker, are notably beneficial to the anti-proliferative potency of 3-O-substituted-3',4'-dimethoxyflavonols. It is worth noting that 3-O-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl-3',4',7-trimethoxyflavonol (76) induces PC-3?cell death in a completely different way from 3-O-pyrrolidinopentyl-3',4',7-trimethoxyflavonol (81) even though they belong to 3-O-substituted-3',4',7-trimethoxyflavonols and exhibit similar potency in inhibiting PC-3?cell proliferation, suggesting that the mechanism of action for each specific 3-O-substitutedflavonol varies with different amino moiety. 3-O-(N,N-Dibutylamino)propyl-3',4'-dimethoxyflavonol (42) emerged as the most promising derivative due to its substantially improved potency in cell models, superior bioavailability in rats, and good selectivity of inhibiting prostate cancer cell proliferation over non-neoplastic human epithelial cell proliferation.

Anti-biofilm Agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa: A Structure-Activity Relationship Study of C-Glycosidic LecB Inhibitors.

Project description:Biofilm formation is a key mechanism of antimicrobial resistance. We have recently reported two classes of orally bioavailable C-glycosidic inhibitors of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin LecB with antibiofilm activity. They proved efficient in target binding, were metabolically stable, nontoxic, selective, and potent in inhibiting formation of bacterial biofilm. Here, we designed and synthesized six new carboxamides and 24 new sulfonamides for a detailed structure-activity relationship for two clinically representative LecB variants. Sulfonamides generally showed higher inhibition compared to carboxamides, which was rationalized based on crystal structure analyses. Substitutions at the thiophenesulfonamide increased binding through extensive contacts with a lipophilic protein patch. These metabolically stable compounds showed a further increase in potency toward the target and in biofilm inhibition assays. In general, we established the structure-activity relationship for these promising antibiofilm agents and showed that modification of the sulfonamide residue bears future optimization potential.

Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship study of wollamide B; a new potential anti TB agent.

Project description:Wollamide B is a cationic antimycobacterial cyclohexapeptide that exhibits activity against Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) (IC50 of 3.1 μM). Aiming to define its structural activity relationship (SAR), optimizing potency and pharmacokinetic properties, libraries of analogues were synthesized following a standard Fmoc-based solid phase peptide synthesis approach. The antimycobacterial activities of wollamide B and all the synthesized analogues were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv. Parallely, in vitro drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (ADME) profiling was done for the synthesized compounds to evaluate their drug likeness. Among the 25 synthesized wollamides five of them showed potent activities with MICs ≤ 3.1 μM and found to be nontoxic against human HepG2 cells up to 100 μM. The results of the in vitro ADME profiling revealed the remarkable plasma stability and very good aqueous solubility of the class in general while the metabolic stability was found to be moderate to low. Of particular note, compounds 7c (MIC = 1.1 μM) and 13c (0.6 μM) that exhibited good balance of antimycobacterial activity vs. optimal pharmacokinetic properties could be used as a new lead for further development.

The structure-activity relationship of urea derivatives as anti-tuberculosis agents.

Project description:The treatment of tuberculosis is becoming more difficult due to the ever increasing prevalence of drug resistance. Thus, it is imperative that novel anti-tuberculosis agents, with unique mechanisms of action, be discovered and developed. The direct anti-tubercular testing of a small compound library led to discovery of adamantyl urea hit compound 1. In this study, the hit was followed up through the synthesis of an optimization library. This library was generated by systematically replacing each section of the molecule with a similar moiety until a clear structure-activity relationship was obtained with respect to anti-tubercular activity. The best compounds in this series contained a 1-adamantyl-3-phenyl urea core and had potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis plus an acceptable therapeutic index. It was noted that the compounds identified and the pharmacophore developed is consistent with inhibitors of epoxide hydrolase family of enzymes. Consequently, the compounds were tested for inhibition of representative epoxide hydrolases: M. tuberculosis EphB and EphE; and human soluble epoxide hydrolase. Many of the optimized inhibitors showed both potent EphB and EphE inhibition suggesting the antitubercular activity is through inhibition of multiple epoxide hydrolase enzymes. The inhibitors also showed potent inhibition of humans soluble epoxide hydrolase, but limited cytotoxicity suggesting that future studies must be towards increasing the selectivity of epoxide hydrolase inhibition towards the M. tuberculosis enzymes.

A structure-activity relationship study of ABCC2 inhibitors.

Project description:Multidrug resistance associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2) is a membrane transport protein that can potentially affect the disposition of many substrate drugs and their metabolites. Recently, we studied the interaction of a library of 432 compounds with ABCC2, and the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a subset of 64 compounds divided into four scaffolds (Wissel, G. et al., 2015. Bioorg Med Chem., 23(13), pp.3513-25). We have now expanded this test set by investigating 114 new compounds, of which 71 are representative of the previous four scaffolds and 43 compounds belong to a new scaffold. Interaction with ABCC2 was assessed by measuring the compounds effect on 5(6)-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein transport in the vesicular transport assay. In line with our previous study, we observed that anionic charge is not essential for inhibition of ABCC2 transport, even though it often increases the inhibitory activity within the analogue series. Additionally, we found that halogen substitutions often increase the inhibitory activity. The results confirm the importance of structural features such as aromaticity and lipophilicity for ABCC2 inhibitory activity.
