Stereoselective hydrolysis of xenobiotic esters by different cell lines from rat liver and hepatoma and its application to chiral prodrugs for designated growth suppression of cancer cells

Stereoselectivity in the hydrolysis of racemic ethyl 2-phenylacetate derivatives by cultured cells of noncancerous cell lines from rat liver (BRL, BRL 3A, Clone 9, and ARLJ301–3), spontaneously or oncogene transformed rat liver cell lines (ARLJ301–3TR1, Anr4, Anr9–1, and Anr13–1), and cancer cell lines from rat hepatoma (H4-II-E, McA-RH7777, and MH₁C₁) and sarcoma (XC) was studied. A strong (R)-enantiomer preference was found in the hydrolysis of ethyl 2-hydroxy- ( 2c ) and 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate ( 3c ) by the noncancerous and oncogene-transformed cells and an (S)-enantiomer preference for ethyl N-acylphenylalaninates with all the present cell lines. These inclinations were, however, not recognized with ethyl 2-methoxy-2-phenylpropanoate and ethyl N-difluoroacetyl-or N-trifluoroacetylphenylalaninate. Moreover, the R preference for 3c was reversed in the reaction by hepatoma cells. Thus, the stereoselectivity is influenced by both structure of acyl group and species of cell lines. The hepatoma cells were considerably different from the noncancerous or oncogene-transformed cells in stereoselectivity. This fact was consistent with the order of colony formation in soft agar cultures (index of malignancy) and the resemblance in actively stained esterase patterns in gel electrophoresis. The stereoselective hydrolysis leads to cell-specific activation of anticancer prodrugs. This has been confirmed for the first time by the stereoselectivity of Anr4 and H4-II-E cells in the hydrolysis of a chiral mustard ester, bis(2-chloroethyl)aminophenyl 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate ( 14 ) and by the difference of IC₅₀ values of (R)- and (S)- 14 against the two cell lines. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Two novel C29-5beta-sterols from the stems of Opuntia dillenii

Two novel C29-5beta-sterols, opuntisterol [(24R)-24-ethyl-5beta-cholest-9-ene-6beta,12alpha-diol] (1) and opuntisteroside [(24R)-24-ethyl-6beta-[(beta-d-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-5beta-cholest-9-ene-12alpha-ol] (2), together with nine known compounds, beta-sitosterol (3), taraxerol (4), friedelin (5), methyl linoleate (6), 7-oxositosterol (7), 6beta-hydroxystigmast-4-ene-3-one (8), daucosterol (9), methyl eucomate (10) and eucomic acid (11), were isolated from the stems of Opuntia dillenii collected in Guizhou Province, China. Their structures were elucidated mainly by spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configuration of 1 were deduced from comparative 1H NMR data of the (S)- and (R)-methoxyphenyl acetate derivatives. Compounds 6-8, 10 and 11 were isolated from O. dillenii for the first time.     

Activity of acyclic nucleoside phosphonate analogues against human immunodeficiency virus in monocyte/macrophages and peripheral blood lymphocytes

A number of acyclic nucleoside phosphonate analogues, including 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA) and its 2,6-diaminopurine derivative PMEDAP, (R,S)-9-(3-fluoro-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine [(R,S)-FPMPA] and its 2,6-diaminopurine derivative (R,S)-FPMPDAP were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on HIV-1 replication in two natural human cell systems, i.e. peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and freshly prepared monocyte/macrophages (M/M). All compounds were potent inhibitors of HIV-1 replication in PBL [50% effective concentration (EC50): 0.94-3.9 microM] and M/M (EC50: 0.022-0.95 microM). In particular, (R,S)-FPMPA and (R,S)-FPMPDAP showed a greater antiviral selectivity than PMEA and PMEDAP due to the virtual lack of toxicity of the former compounds in these cell systems. Also, the antiviral selectivity of the acyclic nucleoside phosphonate analogues was much higher in M/M than in the human T-cell lines MT-4, ATH8 and CEM.

The aerial parts of Chromolaena pulchella biosynthesize two groups of diterpenes belonging to opposite enantiomeric series, specifically, the furanoid ent-clerodanes (5R,8R,9S,10R)-(-)-hardwikiic acid (1), methyl (5R,8R,9S,10R)-(-)-hardwikiate (2), (5S,8R,9S,10R)-(-)-hautriwaic acid lactone (3), methyl (5R,8R,9S,10R)-(-)-nidoresedate (4) and methyl (8R,9R)-(-)-strictate (5), as well as the labdanes (5S,8R,9R,10S)-(+)-(13E)-labd-13-ene-8,15-diol (6) and (5S,8R,9R,10S)-(+)-isoabienol (7). The absolute configuration of the two groups of diterpenes was unambiguously assigned by comparison of the vibrational circular dichroism spectra of 3 for ent-clerodanes, and of 7 for labdanes with their theoretical spectra obtained by density functional theory calculations. The results support a biogenetic proposal to diterpenes found in the studied botanical species.
