Alzheimer's disease (AD) causes cognitive impairment in the elderly and is a severe problem worldwide. One of the major reasons for the pathogenesis of AD is thought to be due to the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides that result in neuronal cell death in the brain. In this study, bioassay-guided fractionation was performed to develop seed compounds for anti-AD drugs that can act as dual inhibitors of BACE1 and Aβ aggregation from secondary metabolites produced by Streptomyces sp. To improve the solubility, the crude extracts were methylated with trimethylsilyl (TMS) diazomethane and then purified to yield polyketides 1–5, including the new compound 1. We synthesized the compounds 6 and 7 (original compounds 2 and 3, respectively), and their activities were evaluated. KS-619-1, the demethylated form of 4 and 5, was isolated and evaluated for its inhibitory activity. The IC50 values for BACE1 and Aβ aggregation were found to be 0.48 and 1.1?μM, respectively, indicating that KS-619-1 could be a lead compound for the development of therapeutic agents for AD.

In this study, 19 dicamphanoyl-dihydropyranochromone (DCP) and dicamphanoyl-dihydropyranoxanthone (DCX) derivatives, previously discovered as novel anti-HIV agents, were evaluated for their potential to reverse multi-drug resistance (MDR) in a cancer cell line over-expressing P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Seven compounds fully reversed resistance to vincristine (VCR) at 4 μM, a 20-fold enhancement compared to the first generation chemosensitizer, verapamil (4 μM). The mechanism of action of DCPs and DCXs was also resolved, since the most active compounds (3, 4, and 7) significantly increased intracellular drug accumulation due, in part, to inhibiting the P-gp mediated drug efflux from cells. We conclude that DCPs (3 and 4) and DCXs (7, 11, and 17) can exhibit polypharmacologic behavior by acting as dual inhibitors of HIV replication and chemoresistance mediated by P-gp. As such, they may be useful in combination therapy to overcome P-gp-associated drug resistance for AIDS treatment.

A number of 2-alkyl-7-alkoxy ( or hydroxy)-5-methyl-chromones, including naturally occurring aloesone and aloesol, were synthesized starting from ethyl orsellinate via β-keto-sulfoxides as intermediates.
