We discovered that majusculamide A (1) and majusculamide B (2), isolated from a marine cyanobacterium collected in Okinawa, induced osteoblast differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells. Although majusculamide A (1) has a different configuration only at the C-19 stereocenter, bearing a methyl group, compared to majusculamide B (2), the effect of 1 was stronger than that of 2. We synthesized some analogues of the majusculamides (3-15) and evaluated osteogenic activities of these analogues. The structure-activity relationship study of majusculamide analogues suggested that the number of methyls and configuration at C-19 and the nature of the substituent at C-20 of majusculamide A (1) may be important for the osteoblast differentiation-inducing effect of 1.

Twenty-two halogenated l-tyrosine derivatives were synthesized to examine new substances for the treatment of Chagas disease. The synthesis of these derivatives with different degree of substitution in the amino group with methyl iodide, giving primary, tertiary, and quaternary amino acids. All compounds were tested in vitro against intracellular amastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi, and the cytotoxicity were evaluated over monocytic cell line U-937. Compound 25 was the most active against T. cruzi with a EC50 of 75.52 μM compared with benznidazole with a EC50 of 58.79 μM. Compounds 3, 4, 7, and 15 were the derivatives with the best selectivity index (SI) with values of 7.5, 8.3,12.1, and 8.6, respectively. Finally, compound 7 was the safer and the more promising derivative against T. cruzi.

A series of twenty-one L-tyrosine derivatives with modifications in the halogenation pattern of the aromatic ring and different degree of methylations on the amine and phenolic hydroxyl groups were synthesized. The structures of all the intermediates and target compounds were confirmed unambiguous by spectroscopy analysis. Additionally, all compounds were evaluated against Plasmodium falciparum and Leishmania panamensis parasites between 20-702 μg mL-1. The cytotoxic evaluation was done to determine the selectivity index for each compound. Six compounds had the lower EC50 (effective concentration 50) against L. panamensis. One of these compounds was the most active with an EC50 at 24.13 μg mL-1 (76.07 μM). All derivatives showed no significant activity against P. falciparum and no compound has in vitro antifungal activity at 500 μg mL-1.

Prostate cancer (PC) is a major cause of cancer-related male death in worldwide and the identification of new and improved potent anti-PC molecules is constantly required. A novel scaffold of tetrahydroisoquinoline thiohydantoin was rationally designed based on the enzalutamide structures and our pre-work, leading to the discovery of a series of new antiproliferative compounds. Several new analogues displayed improved androgen receptor (AR) antagonistic activity, while maintaining the higher selective toxicity toward LNCaP cells (AR-rich) versus DU145 cells (AR-deficient) compared to enzalutamide. In fact, compound 55 exhibited promising in vitro antitumor activity by impairing AR unclear translocation. More importantly, 55 showed better pharmacokinetic properties compared to the compound 1 reported in our pre-work. These results demonstrate a step towards the development of novel and improved AR antagonists.

experimental part, p. 1369 - 1372 (2010/02/28)
A biological screen used to identify inhibitors of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (CCL2)-induced chemotaxis was applied in the activity-guided fractionation of an extract from a fungus of the genus Leptoxyphium sp. Inhibition of CCL2-induced chemotaxis was traced to a new dichlorinated diketopiperazine, cyclo(13,15-dichloro-L-Pro-L-Tyr). A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study evaluating relative activities of cyclo(13,15-dichloro- L-Pro-L-Tyr) and a nonchlorinated homologue cyclo(L-Pro-L-Tyr) showed that the dichlorinated molecule was 10- to 20-fold more active than the nonchlorinated form, while no activity was observed for cyclo(D-N-methylLeu-L-Trp).

Using a modified isolation procedure devoid of methanol, 18 new cyclic cryptophycins have been isolated from Nostoc sp. GSV 224 as minor constituents in addition to cryptophycins-1 (A), -2 (B), -3 (C), and -4 (D). Acyclic cryptophycins are not found, indicating that the previously reported cryptophycins-5 (E methyl ester), -6 (F methyl ester), and -7 (G) are artifacts produced as a consequence of using methanol in the isolation scheme. Seventeen of the new cyclic analogs differ in structure in either one of the two hydroxy acid units, viz. unit A [(5S,6S,7R,8R)-7,8-epoxy-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-8-phenyl-2(E)-octenoic acid for cryptophycin-1 or (5S,6S)-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-8-phenyl-2(E),7(E)-octadienoic acid for cryptophycin-3] and unit D [(2S)-2-hydroxy-4-methylvaleric acid], or one of the two amino acid units, viz. unit B [(2R)-2-amino-3-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid] and unit C [(2R)3-amino-2-methylpropionic acid], found in the cyclic ABCD peptolide. In unit A of cryptophycins-26, -28, -30, and -40, the methyl group on C-6 is missing or the Δ2-double bond is hydrated. In unit B of cryptophycins -16, -17, -23, -31, -43, and -45, the aromatic ring is phenolic and/or possesses two or zero chlorines. In unit C of cryptophycins 21 and -29, the methyl group on C-2 is missing. In unit D of cryptophycins -18, -19, -49, -50, and -54, a different alkyl group (propyl, isopropyl, or sec-butyl) is attached to C-2. Only one of the new analogs, cryptophycin-24, differs in structure for two units by lacking chlorine in unit B and the methyl group in unit C. Revised structures are presented for cryptophycins-5, -6, and -7 and are correlated with cryptophycin-3, the relative stereochemistry of which has been further rigorously established by X-ray crystallography. NOE studies show that the preferred conformations of most cryptophycins in solution differ from the conformation of cryptophycin-3 in the crystal state. Although cryptophycin-1 is relatively stable at pH 7, both in ionic and nonionic media, the ester bond linking units C and D is fairly labile to solvolysis and mild base hydrolysis. Structure-activity relationship studies indicate that the intact macrolide ring, the epoxide group, the chloro and O-methyl groups in unit B, and the methyl group in unit C are needed for the in vivo activity of cryptophycin-1.
