A series of natural (i.e., 1-7) and synthetic (i.e., 8-23) protoberberine alkaloids were evaluated for their inhibitory activities towards DNA topoisomerase I. Both the natural, monomeric protoberberine alkaloids and their mono-modified congeners showed only minor activities. In contrast, most of the dimeric protoberberine alkaloids, especially compounds 12-22, were highly active, with a similar cleavage efficiency as camptothecin (CPT), a well-known, potent topoisomerase-I inhibitor. Thus, these dimeric compounds are promising candidates to be further elaborated as anticancer leads. The mechanism of topoisomerase-I inhibition seems to be dependent on drug concentration for the dimeric protoberberines. At low concentration, they exhibit similar characteristics as CPT. At high concentration, this ability is mostly lost, and the dimers inhibit the relaxation activity of topoisomerase I. Thus, we suppose that the active, dimeric protoberberines strongly bind to plasmid DNA at elevated drug concentration. This most likely results in blocking the enzyme's access to plasmid DNA, thus inhibiting its relaxation. 相似文献

Fagaronine and nitidine are natural benzo[c] phenanthridinium alkaloids, which display antileukemic activity. Both act as topoisomerase I and topoisomerase II inhibitors. The objective of the present study was to prepare noncharged isosters of these compounds, with replacement of the aromatic A ring by a pyridine ring, present in other topoisomerase I inhibitors. Various 7,8- and 8,9-dimethoxy and metylenedioxy benzo[c][1,7] and [1,8]phenanthrolines were readily synthesized by benzyne-mediated cyclization of the corresponding substituted N-(2-halobenzyl)-5-quinolinamines or 5-isoquinolinamines. In both series, compounds bearing oxygenated substituents at positions 8 and 9 exhibited cytotoxic properties towards L1210 murine leukemia cells, which may result from their capacities to intercalate into DNA. Topoisomerase I inhibition was observed for all active compounds. 相似文献

The marine alkaloid lamellarin D (LAM-D) has been recently characterized as a potent poison of human topoisomerase I endowed with remarkable cytotoxic activities against tumor cells. We report here the first structure-activity relationship study in the LAM-D series. Two groups of triester compounds incorporating various substituents on the three phenolic OH at positions 8, 14 and 20 of 6H-[1]benzopyrano[4',3':4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6-one pentacyclic planar chromophore typical of the parent alkaloid were tested as topoisomerase I inhibitors. The non-amino compounds in group A showed no activity against topoisomerase I and were essentially non cytotoxic. In sharp contrast, compounds in group B incorporating amino acid residues strongly promoted DNA cleavage by human topoisomerase I. LAM-D derivatives tri-substituted with leucine, valine, proline, phenylalanine or alanine residues, or a related amino side chain, stabilize topoisomerase I-DNA complexes. The DNA cleavage sites detected at T downward arrow G or C downward arrow G dinucleotides with these molecules were identical to that of LAM-D but slightly different from those seen with camptothecin which stimulates topoisomerase I-mediated cleavage at T downward arrow G only. In the DNA relaxation and cleavage assays, the corresponding Boc-protected compounds and the analogues of the non-planar LAM-501 derivative lacking the 5-6 double bond in the quinoline B-ring showed no effect on topoisomerase I and were considerably less cytotoxic than the corresponding cationic compounds in the LAM-D series. The presence of positive charges on the molecules enhances DNA interaction but melting temperature studies indicate that DNA binding is not correlated with topoisomerase I inhibition or cytotoxicity. Cell growth inhibition by the 41 lamellarin derivatives was evaluated with a panel of tumor cells lines. With prostate (DU-145 and LN-CaP), ovarian (IGROV and IGROV-ET resistant to ecteinascidin-743) and colon (LoVo and LoVo-Dox cells resistant to doxorubicin) cancer cells (but not with HT29 colon carcinoma cells), the most cytotoxic compounds correspond to the most potent topoisomerase I poisons. The observed correlation between cytotoxicity and topoisomerase I inhibition strongly suggests that topoisomerase I-mediated DNA cleavage assays can be used as a guide to the development of superior analogues in this series. LAM-D is the lead compound of a new promising family of antitumor agents targeting topoisomerase I and the amino acid derivatives appear to be excellent candidates for a preclinical development. 相似文献

A series of 21 compounds of trisubstituted pyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro topoisomerase II inhibitory activity against filarial parasite Setaria cervi. Out of these, seven compounds (8, 11-14, 25 and 28) have shown 60-80% inhibition at 40 and 20 microg/mL concentration. Five compounds (12, 13, 14, 25 and 28) exhibited 70-80% inhibition at 10 microg/mL concentration and three compounds (13, 14 and 28) have shown 40-60% inhibition at 5 microg/mL concentration. All the above mentioned compounds have shown better topo II inhibitory activity than standard antifilarial drug (DEC) and enzyme topo II inhibitors (Novobiocin, Nalidixic acid). 相似文献

A series of benz[f]indole-4,9-diones, based on the antitumor activity of 1,4-naphthoquinone, were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity in cultured human cancer cell lines A549 (lung cancer), Col2 (colon cancer), and SNU-638 (stomach cancer), and also for the inhibition of human DNA topoisomerases I and II activity in vitro. Several compounds including 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-N-methyl-benz[f]indole-4,9-dione showed a potential cytotoxic activity judged by IC50<20.0 μg/ml in the panel of cancer cell lines. Especially, 2-hydroxy-3-ethoxycarbonyl-N-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-benz[f]indole-4,9-dione had potential selective cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells (IC50=0.4 μg/ml)) compared to colon (IC50>20.0 μg/ml) and stomach (IC50>20.0 μg/ml) cancer cells. To further investigate the cytotoxic mechanism, the effects of test compounds on DNA topoisomerase I and II activities were used. In a topoisomerase I-mediated relaxation assay using human placenta DNA topoisomerase I and supercoiled pHOTI plasmid DNA, 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-N-(4-fluorophenyl)-benz[f]indole-4,9-dione had the most potent inhibitory activity among the compounds tested. However, most of the compounds showed only weak inhibition of the DNA topoisomerase II-mediated KDNA (Kinetoplast DNA) decatenation assay, except for 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-N-(4-methylphenyl)-benz[f]indole-4,9-dione and 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-N-(2-bromoehtyl)-benz[f]indole-4,9-dione with a moderate inhibitory activity. These results suggest that several active compounds had relatively selective inhibitory activity against toposiomearse I compared to toposiomerase II. No obvious correlation was observed between the cytotoxicity of the individual compound and the inhibitory activity of DNA relaxation and decatenation by topoisomerase I and II, respectively, in vitro. 相似文献

Fluoroquinolones, represented by ciproxacin and norfloxacin, are well-known clinical antimicrobial agents, and their phenyl ring expanded quinophenoxazines are reported as possible antitumor active compounds. These quinophenoxazines are known to inhibit DNA topoisomerase II essential for cell replication cycle. But there were no reports for topoisomerase I inhibition study for these compounds. In this report, we have prepared a few quinophenoxazine analogues and tested their topoisomerases I and II inhibitory activities and cytotoxicity. From the result, we found that quinophenoxazine analogues possessed strong topoisomerase I inhibitory capacity as well as topoisomerase II inhibition. Among the compounds prepared, A-62176 analogues showed strong topoisomerases I and II inhibitory activities. Interestingly, compound 8 missing the 3-aminopyrrolidine moiety at C2 position has similar potent inhibitory capacity against topoisomerases I and II at higher concentrations (20 and 10 microM, respectively). But compound 8 inhibited topoisomerase I function more selectively at lower concentration, 2 microM. Our observation might strongly implicate that fluoroquinophenoxazines can be developed as efficient topoisomerase I inhibitor with the elaborate modification. 相似文献

Two new daphne diterpene esters Yuanhuajine (2) and Yuanhuagine (4), together with three known daphne diterpene esters yuanhuacine (1), yuanhuadine (3), and yuanhuapine (5), were isolated and identified from Daphne genkwa, a traditional Chinese medicine. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of UV, IR, MS and NMR ((1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, HSQC, and HMBC) spectra. In order to explore the structure-activity relationship, three compounds 6, 7, and 8 were prepared as three derivatives of 1. Inhibitory activities against DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) were assessed for the compounds 1-8. These compounds, except for 8, exhibited potent inhibitory activities against DNA topo I at IC(50) levels of 11.1-53.4 microM and they are new type of topo I inhibitors bearing different structures compared with the known topo I inhibitors. The agarose-gel electrophoresis experiments showed that the orthoester group of daphne diterpene esters was necessary for the inhibitory activity against DNA topo I, and the inhibition against DNA topo I is probably one of the anti-tumor mechanisms of daphne diterpene esters. 相似文献

Studies on the simultaneous determination and chemical fingerprinting of alkaloids in Corydalis saxicola Bunting. (Yanhuanglian) were performed for authentication purposes. Ninety samples prepared from different parts of C. saxicola, including whole plants, roots, stems, leaves and flowers, from wild and cultivated populations, were submitted to quantitative determination and fingerprint analysis. Five major alkaloids, namely, tetradehydroscoulerine, dehydroapocavidine, dehydroisoapocavidine, coptisine and dehydrocavidine, were quantitatively analysed by reversed-phase HPLC with acceptable recoveries (>98.2%). Chemical fingerprinting of C. saxicola was established and involved 11 markers. The results indicated that there were no obvious differences between the chemical profiles of wild and of cultivated C. saxicola populations, and that the mean alkaloid contents of the five marker compounds in cultivated populations were significantly higher than those of the wild plants. The highest content of total alkaloids (up to 28.8 mg/g) was found in roots of C. saxicola. The total alkaloids of the leaves were approximately 50% of those of roots, suggesting that the leaves may be employed as an alternative source of alkaloids. Chemical fingerprints and quantitative HPLC analysis will have a positive impact on the conservation and cultivation of this medicinal plant. 相似文献

A panel of glycosylated DNA binding agents (1-12) designed as functional anthracycline mimics was screened against three solid-tumor cell lines (MCF-7, HT 29 and HepG2/C3A) and three non-tumor cell lines by the MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) cell viability assay. Several compounds showed better in vitro cytotoxicity and selectivity against MCF-7 cells than daunomycin and doxorubicin, two known DNA binding agents that are clinically-used anti-cancer agents. Although the selectivity for HT 29 and HepG2/C3A cells is generally lower, the IC50 values of some analogs against these two cancer cell lines were of the same magnitude as doxorubicin. Because there was no correlation between DNA binding affinity and cytotoxicity, and because topoisomerase (Topo) inhibition is another biological mechanism of action of most anthracycline drugs, Topo I/II inhibition assays with 1-12 were performed. Some of the compounds showed strong inhibition against these enzymes at 100 ??M, but there was no clear correlation between cytotoxicity and Topo I/II inhibition ability. Topo I/II inhibition mode assays were also performed, which verified that these compounds are topoisomerase suppressors, not poisons. Based on these results, we conclude that although DNA binding and/or topoisomerase inhibition may contribute to the observed cytotoxicity of 1-12, other mechanisms of action are also likely to be important. 相似文献

Cryptolepine, matadine, and serpentine are three indoloquinoline alkaloids isolated from the roots of African plants: Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, Strychnos gossweileri, and Rauwolfia serpentina, respectively. For a long time, these alkaloids have been used in African folk medicine in the form of plant extracts for the treatment of multiple diseases, in particular as antimalarial drugs. To date, the molecular basis for their diverse biological effects remains poorly understood. To elucidate their mechanism of action, we studied their interaction with DNA and their effects on topoisomerase II. The strength and mode of binding to DNA of the three alkaloids were investigated by spectroscopy. The alkaloids bind tightly to DNA and behave as typical intercalating agents. All three compounds stabilize the topoisomerase II-DNA covalent complex and stimulate the cutting of DNA by topoisomerase II. The poisoning effect is more pronounced with cryptolepine than with matadine and serpentine, but none of the drugs exhibit a preference for cutting at a specific base. Cryptolepine which binds 10-fold more tightly to DNA than the two related alkaloids proves to be much more cytotoxic toward B16 melanoma cells than matadine and serpentine. The cellular consequences of the inhibition of topoisomerase II by cryptolepine were investigated using the HL60 leukemia cell line. The flow cytometry analysis shows that the drug alters the cell cycle distribution, but no sign of drug-induced apoptosis was detected when evaluating the internucleosomal fragmentation of DNA in cells. Cryptolepine-treated cells probably die via necrosis rather than via apoptosis. The results provide evidence that DNA and topoisomerase II are the primary targets of cryptolepine, matadine, and serpentine. 相似文献

From the methanol extract of the bulbs of Pancratium illyricum L., three phenanthridine type alkaloids, ungeremine (1), (-)-lycorine (2) and (+)-vittatine (3) were isolated. For the evaluation of their anticancer and antibacterial potential, compounds 1-3 were tested against human (I, IIα) and bacterial (IA, IV) topoisomerases. Our data demonstrated that ungeremine impairs the activity of both, human and bacterial topoisomerases. Remarkably, ungeremine was found to largely increments the DNA cleavage promoted by bacterial topoisomerase IA, a new target in antimicrobial chemotherapy. 相似文献

A series of acyclic enediynes, 2-((6-substituted)-3-hexen-1,5-diynyl)benzonitriles (8--11), display potent inhibition against topoisomerase I without the formation of active biradical intermediates and show inhibitory activity against topoisomerase I at 10 microM, which is five times that of camptothecin from the results of agarose gel electrophoresis. 相似文献

New antitumor 12-alkoxy-benzo[c]phenanthridinium derivatives were obtained in high yields through multistep syntheses. Analysis of DNA binding and human DNA topoisomerase I inhibitory activities demonstrates that new compounds, combining 2, 6, and 12 substitutions, interact strongly with DNA and exhibit important topoisomerase I inhibition. The cytotoxicities against solid tumor cell lines are also determined and compared with those for fagaronine and ethoxidine. 相似文献

Topoisomerase I inhibitors from Ruta graveolens are reported for the first time. Potent topoisomerase I inhibitory activity from in vitro culture extracts R. graveolens were observed. Stabilization of DNA–topoisomerase covalent complex was observed in all the tested extracts. The mechanism of topoisomerase inhibition was determined by preincubation studies. The irreversible topoisomerase I mediated relaxation of plasmid in enzyme–substrate preincubation study, indicated that the observed inhibitory activity of extract constituents was not mediated through conformational changes in the DNA. Furthermore, the affinity of inhibitors with the enzyme was tested by enzyme–extract preincubation study. Increase in inhibition of topoisomerase activity and promotion of DNA–enzyme complex was observed after enzyme–extract preincubation. The activity could be assigned to furanocoumarins—psoralen, bergapten and xanthotoxin, identifying them as novel, potent topoisomerase I inhibitors. 相似文献

The alkaloids lycorine, 1-O-acetyllycorine and ismine were isolated from the basic dichloromethane-soluble fraction of Crinum x powellii "Albu m" bulbs. The alkaloid structures were established by physical and spectroscopic analyses, including 1D NMR techniques and GC-MS analysis. The three alkaloids are reported for the first time for this hybrid. Additionally, the three alkaloids isolated were tested against a mechanism-based bioassay utilizing genetically engineered mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains RAD+, RAD52Y and RS321 where lycorine was the only alkaloid that displayed moderate topoisomerase I inhibitory activity. 相似文献

Streptococcus pneumoniae has two type II DNA-topoisomerases (DNA-gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV) and a single type I enzyme (DNA-topoisomerase I, TopA), as demonstrated here. Although fluoroquinolones target type II enzymes, antibiotics efficiently targeting TopA have not yet been reported. Eighteen alkaloids (seven aporphine and 11 phenanthrenes) were semisynthesized from boldine and used to test inhibition both of TopA activity and of cell growth. Two phenanthrenes (seconeolitsine and N-methyl-seconeolitsine) effectively inhibited both TopA activity and cell growth at equivalent concentrations (~17 μM). Evidence for in vivo TopA targeting by seconeolitsine was provided by the protection of growth inhibition in a S. pneumoniae culture in which the enzyme was overproduced. Additionally, hypernegative supercoiling was observed in an internal plasmid after drug treatment. Furthermore, a model of pneumococcal TopA was made based on the crystal structure of Escherichia coli TopA. Docking calculations indicated strong interactions of the alkaloids with the nucleotide-binding site in the closed protein conformation, which correlated with their inhibitory effect. Finally, although seconeolitsine and N-methyl-seconeolitsine inhibited TopA and bacterial growth, they did not affect human cell viability. Therefore, these new alkaloids can be envisaged as new therapeutic candidates for the treatment of S. pneumoniae infections resistant to other antibiotics. 相似文献

Bacterial topoisomerase I (Btopo I) was defined as potential target for discovery of new antibacterial compounds. Various oligonucleotides containing bulge structure were designed and synthesised as inhibitors to Btopo I in this investigation. The results of this study demonstrated that the designed oligonucleotides display high inhibitory efficiency on the activity of Btopo I and the inhibitory effect could be modulated by the amount of bulge DNA bases. The most efficient one among them showed an IC50 value of 63.1?nM in its inhibition on the activity of Btopo I. In addition, our studies confirmed that the designed oligonucleotide would induce irreversible damages to Btopo I and without any effects occur to eukaryotic topoisomerase I. It is our hope that the results provided in these studies could provide a novel way to inhibit Btopo I. 相似文献

The DNA maintenance enzyme, topoisomerase I, is thought to play crucial roles in all living cells and for this reason inhibitors of this enzyme have been much studied. In this paper we describe a gel electrophoresis method capable of characterizing and quantifying inhibition of topoisomerase I by selected compounds. Inhibitors of topoisomerase I are often associated with intercalative binding to DNA and the method can simultaneously determine intercalative binding (as DNA unwinding) except in the cases where inhibition is prohibitively strong. The method uses closed circular (plasmid) DNA and can separate single-strand nicked, linearized (double-strand nicked), fully relaxed, partially relaxed (topoisomers), and supercoiled forms of the plasmid so that topoisomerase-dependent DNA cleavage (poisoning) can also be determined. By quantifying poisoning, inhibition, and intercalation simultaneously and separately in relation to reference compounds it is possible to make quantitative determinations of these phenomena for comparative purposes. Data for the topoisomerase I inhibitor, luteolin, are presented. 相似文献

Isoaurostatin A (IAS-A) isolated from Thermomonospora alba showed weak inhibition against topoisomerase (topo) I (IC(50)=307microM). To get more strong inhibition, derivatives of IAS-A were prepared and their structure-activity relationships against topo I and II were investigated. The addition of hydroxyl group on aromatic rings increased the activities, 3-(3,4,5-trihydroxybenzylidene)-5-hydroxy-3H-benzofuran-2-one (IAS-9) showed strong inhibition (IC(50)=3microM) against topo I. And also, the increasing of hydroxyl group increased growth inhibition against a variety of cancer cells, and IAS-9 showed most potent inhibition. Unlike camptothecin and etoposide, IAS-9 neither stabilized DNA-topo cleavable complex nor intercalated into DNA, and it inhibited topo I and II noncompetitively. The inhibitory activities also increased by opening of lactone ring in the molecule of IAS-9. 相似文献
