23-Hydroxybetulinic acid (23-HBA) is a complex lupane triterpenoid, which has attracted increasing attention as an anticancer agent. However, its detailed mechanism of anticancer action remains elusive so far. To reveal its anticancer mode of action, a series of fluorescent 23-HBA derivatives conjugated with coumarin dyes were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities. Subcellular localization and uptake profile studies of representative fluorescent 23-HBA probe 26c were performed in B16F10 cells, and the results suggested that probe 26c was rapidly taken up into B10F10 cells in a dose-dependent manner and mitochondrion was the main site of its accumulation. Further mode of action studies implied that the mitochondrial pathway was involved in 23-HBA-mediated apoptosis. Together, our results provided new clues for revealing the molecular mechanism of natural product 23-HBA for its further development into an antitumor agent.

Ligand-binding assays are the linchpin of drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. Cell-surface receptors and their ligands have traditionally been characterized by radioligand-binding assays, which have low temporal and spatial resolution and entail safety risks. Here, we report a powerful alternative (GlycoFRET), where terbium-labeled fluorescent reporters are irreversibly attached to receptors by metabolic glycan engineering. For the first time, we show time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer between receptor glycans and fluorescently labeled ligands. We describe GlycoFRET for a GPI-anchored receptor, a G-protein-coupled receptor, and a heterodimeric cytokine receptor in living cells with excellent sensitivity and high signal-to-background ratios. In contrast to previously described methods, GlycoFRET does not require genetic engineering or antibodies to label receptors. Given that all cell-surface receptors are glycosylated, we expect that GlycoFRET can be generalized with applications in chemical biology and biotechnology, such as target engagement, receptor pharmacology, and high-throughput screening.

Traditional EZH2 inhibitors are developed to suppress the enzymatic methylation activity, and they may have therapeutic limitations due to the nonenzymatic functions of EZH2 in cancer development. Here, we report proteolysis-target chimera (PROTAC)-based EZH2 degraders to target the whole EZH2 in lymphoma. Two series of EZH2 degraders were designed and synthesized to hijack E3 ligase systems containing either von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) or cereblon (CRBN), and some VHL-based compounds were able to mediate EZH2 degradation. Two best degraders, YM181 and YM281, induced robust cell viability inhibition in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and other subtypes of lymphomas, outperforming a clinically used EZH2 inhibitor EPZ6438 (tazemetostat) that was only effective against DLBCL. The EZH2 degraders displayed promising antitumor activities in lymphoma xenografts and patient-derived primary lymphoma cells. Our study demonstrates that EZH2 degraders have better therapeutic activity than EZH2 inhibitors, which may provide a potential anticancer strategy to treat lymphoma.

Paragraph 0078-0080, (2020/06/30)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a semaglutide side chain 1 in a liquid-phase convergent manner. The method comprises the steps: protecting amino of a raw material 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol by using R1; then carrying out nucleophilic substitution reaction with ethyl bromoacetate; carrying out ester hydrolysis in one pot to obtain a compound 4; protecting carboxyl of the compound 4with R2; removing R1 to obtain a compound 6; carrying out condensation reaction on the compound 6 and fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-L-glutamic acid 1-tert-butyl ester, to obtain a compound 8; removing R2 of the compound 8, and carrying out a coupling reaction with the compound 6 to obtain a compound 10; removing Fmoc of the compound 10, carrying out an amidation condensation coupling reaction with 18-(tert-butoxy)-18-oxooctadecanoic acid to obtain a compound 13; and removing R2 of the compound 13 to obtain the product 1. The method has the advantages of effective and controllable synthesis process,low cost and high yield, and can be suitable for large-scale production.
