Spongian Diterpenoids Derived from the Antarctic Sponge Dendrilla antarctica Are Potent Inhibitors of the Leishmania Parasite.

ABSTRACT: From the CH₂Cl₂ extract of the Antarctic sponge Dendrilla antarctica we found spongian diterpenes, including previously reported aplysulphurin (1), tetrahydroaplysulphurin-1 (2), membranolide (3), and darwinolide (4), utilizing a CH₂Cl₂/MeOH extraction scheme. However, the extracts also yielded diterpenes bearing one or more methyl acetal functionalities (5-9), two of which are previously unreported, while others are revised here. Further investigation of diterpene reactivity led to additional new metabolites (10-12), which identified them as well as the methyl acetals as artifacts from methanolysis of aplysulphurin. The bioactivity of the methanolysis products, membranoids A-H (5-12), as well as natural products 1-4, were assessed for activity against Leishmania donovani-infected J774A.1 macrophages, revealing insights into their structure/activity relationships. Four diterpenes, tetrahydroaplysulphurin-1 (2) as well as membranoids B (6), D (8), and G (11), displayed low micromolar activity against L. donovani with no discernible cytotoxicity against uninfected J774A.1 cells. Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that affects one million people every year and can be fatal if left untreated.

Spongian diterpenoids inhibit androgen receptor activity.

Project description:Androgen receptor is a ligand-activated transcription factor and a validated drug target for all stages of prostate cancer. Antiandrogens compete with physiologic ligands for androgen receptor ligand-binding domain (LBD). High-throughput screening of a marine natural product library for small molecules that inhibit androgen receptor transcriptional activity yielded the furanoditerpenoid spongia-13(16),-14-dien-19-oic acid, designated terpene 1 (T1). Characterization of T1 and the structurally related semisynthetic analogues (T2 and T3) revealed that these diterpenoids have antiandrogen properties that include inhibition of both androgen-dependent proliferation and androgen receptor transcriptional activity by a mechanism that involved competing with androgen for androgen receptor LBD and blocking essential N/C interactions required for androgen-induced androgen receptor transcriptional activity. Structure-activity relationship analyses revealed some chemical features of T1 that are associated with activity and yielded T3 as the most potent analogue. In vivo, T3 significantly reduced the weight of seminal vesicles, which are an androgen-dependent tissue, thereby confirming the on-target activity of T3. The ability to create analogues of diterpenoids that have varying antiandrogen activity represents a novel class of chemical compounds for the analysis of androgen receptor ligand-binding properties and therapeutic development.

Antibacterial Polyketides from Antarctica Sponge-Derived Fungus Penicillium sp. HDN151272.

Project description:Three new polyketides, ketidocillinones A-C (1-3), were discovered from the extract of an Antarctica sponge-derived fungus Penicillium sp. HDN151272. All the structures were deduced by spectroscopic data, including NMR and HRESIMS. The absolute configuration of compound 3 was established by using ECD calculation. Compounds 1-3 can be slowly oxidized to quinone form when exposed to air. Ketidocillinones B and C (2 and 3) exhibited potent antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeurigenosa, Mycobacterium phlei, and MRCNS (methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci) with MIC values ranging from 1.56 to 25.00 µg/mL.

Antibacterial Cyclic Tripeptides from Antarctica-Sponge-Derived Fungus Aspergillus insulicola HDN151418.

Project description:Three new aspochracin-type cyclic tripeptides, sclerotiotides M-O (1-3), together with three known analogues, sclerotiotide L (4), sclerotiotide F (5), and sclerotiotide B (6), were obtained from the ethyl acetate extract of the fungus Aspergillus insulicola HDN151418, which was isolated from an unidentified Antarctica sponge. Spectroscopic and chemical approaches were used to elucidate their structures. The absolute configuration of the side chain in compound 4 was elucidated for the first time. Compounds 1 and 2 showed broad antimicrobial activity against a panel of pathogenic strains, including Bacillus cereus, Proteus species, Mycobacterium phlei, Bacillus subtilis, Vibrio parahemolyticus, Edwardsiella tarda, MRCNS, and MRSA, with MIC values ranging from 1.56 to 25.0 µM.

Sponge-Derived 24-Homoscalaranes as Potent Anti-Inflammatory Agents.

Project description:Scalarane-type sesterterpenoids are known for their therapeutic potential in cancer treatments. However, the anti-inflammatory properties of this class of metabolites remain elusive. Our current work aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory scalaranes from marine sponge Lendenfeldia sp., resulting in the isolation of six new 24-homoscalaranes, lendenfeldaranes E-J (1-6). The structures of the new metabolites were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configuration of 1 was established by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 2 and 3 were discovered to individually reduce the generation of superoxide anions, and compound 1 displayed an inhibitor effect on the release of elastase. These three compounds were proven to be the first anti-neutrophilic scalaranes.

Daphnane diterpenoids as potent and tolerable importin-b1 inhibitors to treat castration-resistant prostate cancer [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Importin-b1, a key member of karyopherins, is composed of 18-20 tandem repeats of the HEAT motif, each of which contains two antiparallel alpha helices linked by a turn. With the help of adaptor protein importin-α, importin-b1 recognizes cargo with NLS in the cytoplasm, and ferries the complex through the NPC into the nucleus. Several studies have shown that importin-b1 is overexpressed in some cancers, especially advanced prostate cancer, and is associated with poor prognosis and drug resistances.Here, the anti-CRPC (castration-resistant prostate cancer) screening of a natural diterpenoid library followed by target fishing led to the identification of a highly potent importin-b1 inhibitor, daphnane diterpenoid DD1(YDGY-3).To further dissect the influence of importin-b1 inhibitors on gene transcription programs, we analyzed H3K27ac chip-seq of C4-2B cells with the treatment of DD1 (YDGY-3).

Structure-based design of potent and selective Leishmania N-myristoyltransferase inhibitors.

Project description:Inhibitors of Leishmania N-myristoyltransferase (NMT), a potential target for the treatment of leishmaniasis, obtained from a high-throughput screen, were resynthesized to validate activity. Crystal structures bound to Leishmania major NMT were obtained, and the active diastereoisomer of one of the inhibitors was identified. On the basis of structural insights, enzyme inhibition was increased 40-fold through hybridization of two distinct binding modes, resulting in novel, highly potent Leishmania donovani NMT inhibitors with good selectivity over the human enzyme.

Project description:Hipposponlachnins A (1) and B (2), possessing an unprecedented tetracyclo [9.3.0.02,8.03,7] tetradecane ring system, and the probable biogenetic precursor [3, (1R*,2E,4R*,7E,10S*,11S*,12R*)-10, 18-diacetoxydolabella-2,7-dien-6-one] of 1?2 were isolated from the South China Sea marine sponge Hippospongia lachne. The structures of the novel compounds were determined using integrated spectroscopic methods in combination with single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1?2 showed potent inhibitory activity on the release of ?-hexosaminidase, a biomarker for degranulation, as well as the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 and lipid mediator LTB4 in DNP-IgE-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells.
