Recently, we described the synthesis and the biological evaluation of three modified analogues of jaspamide (1), a natural cyclodepsipeptide possessing a potent antitumor activity as a consequence of its ability to interfere with actin cytoskeleton. To obtain additional information on the potential pharmacophoric core of the target molecule, which is of fundamental importance to discover new and more effective anticancer products, we decided to explore the biological effects of further structural modifications carried out on the parent molecule. The synthesis and the chemical characterization of six jaspamide analogues (2-7) are reported and their conformational and biological properties are described.  相似文献

The life sciences are molecular and the harnessing of information gleaned from genomics and proteomics will require interdisciplinary research integrating chemistry and biology. This approach is illustrated by the synthesis and biological evaluation of lipidated peptides and proteins and the delineation of a concept arguing for natural product guided combinatorial chemistry.  相似文献

Imidazole analogs of the antibiotic natural product GE2270 A (1) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for Gram positive bacteria growth inhibition. A recently reported, copper-mediated synthesis was exploited to prepare 4-thiazolyl imidazole analogs of 1. The synthesis described represents a structurally complex, natural product-based application of this recently reported synthetic methodology. In addition, the biological evaluation of the imidazole-based analogs further define the SAR of the 4-aminothiazolyl-based antibacterial template.  相似文献

We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of three analogues of the natural product (+)-grandifloracin (+)-1. All three analogues exhibit enhanced antiproliferative activity against PANC-1 and HT-29 cells compared to the natural product. The retention of activity in an analogue lacking the enone functional group, 9, implies this structural element is not an essential part of the (+)-grandifloracin pharmacophore.  相似文献

In “Biology Oriented Synthesis” (BIOS), the inherent biological relevance of natural products is employed for the design and synthesis of compound libraries. Towards this end, library generation in BIOS is focused on compound classes from biologically relevant space such as the natural product space or also the drug space and only scaffolds of these areas of proven relevance are employed for synthesis of small focused libraries with limited diversity. We here present a short overview of γ-pyrone natural products, highlighting their biological properties and their potential applicability in a BIOS of a compound library.  相似文献

The synthesis and biological evaluation of thielocin B1 analogues have been demonstrated. Fourteen analogues modified in the central core and terminal carboxylic acid moiety were concisely synthesized by simple esterification or etherification reaction. The evaluation of synthetic analogues as inhibitors of proteasome assembling chaperone (PAC) complexes (the PAC3 homodimer and PAC1/PAC2) revealed that the natural product-like bending structure and terminal carboxylic acid groups were crucial for its biological activity. Moreover, SAR and in silico docking studies indicated that all methyl groups on the diphenyl ether moiety of thielocin B1 contribute to the potent and selective inhibition of the PAC3 homodimer via hydrophobic interactions.  相似文献

The synthesis and biological evaluation of several enantioenriched schweinfurthin B analogs were undertaken to develop structure-activity relationships and guide design of probes for their putative molecular target. The desired stilbenes contain a common left-half hexahydroxanthene ring system and an aromatic right-half with varied substituents. The synthesis involves penultimate Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons coupling of one of several right-half phosphonates with the aldehyde comprising the left-half of 3-deoxyschweinfurthin B. Preparation of the requisite phosphonates, and the respective stilbenes, as well as the cytotoxicity profiles of these new compounds in the National Cancer Institute's 60 cell-line anticancer screen is described. Several of these analogs displayed cytotoxicity patterns well-correlated with the natural product and differences in activity of approximately 10(3) across the various cell lines. Together, these assay results indicate the importance of at least one free phenol group on the aromatic D-ring of this system for differential cytotoxicity.  相似文献

Several braconid and aphelinid parasitoids, midges, lacewings, and ladybird beetles are used to control aphids in greenhouses. Here, I review three topics as ecological bases for the biological control of aphids in a protected culture: the preliminary evaluation of biological control agents, natural enemy release strategies, and the effects of intraguild predation (IGP) on biological control. A comparison of several parasitoid species was conducted to select agents for the biological control of aphids; the intrinsic rate of natural increase was a useful criterion in the preliminary evaluation. To compare predators as biological control agents, the aphid-killing rate must be considered as a critical criterion, rather than reproductive criteria. The banker plant system (open rearing system) is used as a release method for Aphidius colemani and other natural enemies of aphids. Continuous release of parasitoid adults, which is the important characteristic of this method, has a stabilizing effect on population fluctuation in the aphid–parasitoid system. Two species of natural enemies can be used to control aphids in greenhouses. When one parasitoid and one predator are used simultaneously in a greenhouse, IGP of the parasitoid by the predator can occur, but the effect of IGP is less important in greenhouses than in the field.  相似文献

This work concerns the synthesis, the supramolecular assembly and the evaluation of some biological properties, such as DNA and RNA-binding ability and human serum stability, of novel nucleopeptides. These compounds are of potential interest for the well-known properties that similar compounds, such as natural peptidyl nucleosides, possess in biology and medicine and also for the possibility to realize nucleopeptide-based supramolecular systems useful for drug and gene delivery applications. More particularly, all four nucleobase-containing peptides were synthesized by solid phase synthesis, purified by HPLC and characterized by NMR and ESI-MS. Subsequently, nucleopeptide self-assembly as well as DNA and RNA-binding ability were investigated by CD spectroscopy and further information on the formation of molecular networks, based on the peptidyl nucleoside analogues and nucleic acids, was obtained by Laser Light Scattering. Finally, nucleopeptide enzymatic stability was studied and a half life of about 2 hours was found in the presence of 50% fresh human serum.  相似文献

Peptides act as biological mediators and play a key role of various physiological activities. Sulfur-containing peptides are widely used in natural products and drug molecules due to their unique biological activity and chemical reactivity of sulfur. Disulfides, thioethers, and thioamides are the most common motifs of sulfur-containing peptides, and they have been extensively studied and developed for synthetic methodology as well as pharmaceutical applications. This review focuses on the illustration of these three motifs in natural products and drugs, as well as the recent advancements in the synthesis of the corresponding core scaffolds.  相似文献

2-pyrones possessing antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The 2-pyrone sub-unit is found in a number of natural products possessing broad spectrum biological activity. Such compounds are validated as being capable of binding to specific protein domains and able to exert a remarkable range of biological effects. In an effort to identify synthetic 2-pyrones with interesting biological effects, herein we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of 4-substituted-6-methyl-2-pyrones. Synthetic routes to 4-alkyl/alkenyl/aryl/alkynyl-6-methyl-2-pyrones have been developed utilising Sonogashira, Suzuki and Negishi cross-coupling starting from readily available 4-bromo-6-methyl-2-pyrone. Specific conditions for each organometallic protocol were required for successful cross-coupling. In particular, a triethylamine/acetonitrile--base/solvent mixture was crucial to Sonogashira alkynylation of 4-bromo-6-methyl-2-pyrone, whereas thallium carbonate was a mandatory base for the Suzuki cross-coupling of trialkylboranes. The 2-pyrones demonstrate potent inhibitory activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Botrytis cinerea. The growth inhibitory activities of selected 2-pyrones were determined in A2780 human ovarian carcinoma and K562 human chronic myelogenous leukaemia cell lines using an in vitro cell culture system (MTT assay). These studies demonstrate that 4-phenylethynyl-, 4-tetrahydropyranylpropargyl ether- and 4-ethynyl-6-methyl-2-pyrones have excellent potential as a new class of anticancer agents.  相似文献

Pancreatic lipase is a well-known target for obesity drug development. The inhibition of this enzyme mitigates the digestion and absorption of dietary fat. Despite some inconvenient side effects, orlistat is currently the only medication with FDA approval that works by inhibition of pancreatic lipase. Several natural flavonoids, including chalcones, have been reported to possess promising lipase inhibitory activity. In this paper, we describe the evaluation of the lipase inhibitory activity of our in-house natural mimetic chalcone library via virtual screening, followed by the synthesis and biological evaluation of the hits. Compound C82 showed low-micromolar activity against pancreatic lipase in vitro (IC50 = 1.01 ± 0.86 µM). The interaction of C82 and lipase was additionally confirmed by a fluorescence quenching study.  相似文献

We report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of natural product–drug conjugates for treatment of prostate cancers over-expressing the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel. We validate the relevance of TRPV1 as a target in prostate cancer patients by using a bioinformatics approach and provide proof-of-concept for the drug delivery strategy through bioorthogonal chemistry and stability assays under simulated physiological conditions. In cell-based assays, the constructs displayed modest activity. Moreover, we serendipitously discover that a stoichiometric combination of a TRPV1 agonist with a small, positively charged cytotoxic may provide new research avenues in personalized medicines for prostate cancer.  相似文献
