Design and synthesis of a new class of cryptophycins based tubulin inhibitors

Tubulin binding compounds represent one of the most attractive targets for anticancer drug development. They broadly fall into two categories viz., tubulin polymerization inhibitors, which block microtubule growth and destabilize microtubules like vinca alkaloids and cryptophycins, and the others, which polymerize microtubules into hyperstable forms represented by family of taxanes. In this context, we aimed at design and synthesis of cryptophycins based macrocyclic depsipeptides, which are synthetically more accessible, however have the basic information to target tubulins and establish structure activity relationship (SAR). Thus, a new class of cryptophycins based marocyclic depsipeptides with a truncated epoxide chain were synthesized as potential tubulin inhibitors. The resultant lead analogues 15a and 16a exhibited good anti-cancer activity, induced apoptosis, caused block/delay in cell cycle as well as significantly reduced the expression of α- and β-tubulins. Molecular modelling studies show that 15a and 16a bind in the same domain as that of cryptophycins.

Asymmetric syntheses of potent antitumor macrolides cryptophycin B and arenastatin A

Efficient and highly stereoselective syntheses of cryptophycin B and arenastatin A, potent cytotoxic agents, are described. An ester-derived titanium enolate mediated syn-aldol reaction was employed to generate the stereocenters C-5 and C-6. The route is convergent and provides a convenient access to the synthesis of structural variants of cryptophycins as well as members of its family. ( Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Synthesis of stable analogs in blood and conformational analysis of arenastatin A, a potent cytotoxic spongean depsipeptide

In order to produce stable analogs in blood of arenastatin A, a potent cytotoxic depsipeptide from the marine sponge Dysidea arenaria, we synthesized four analogs in which the 15-20 ester linkage was modified. Among them, the carba analog and 20-deoxo analog showed stability in serum. The conformation of arenastatin A and its three analogs were analyzed by distance-restrained molecular dynamic calculation to elucidate a three-dimensional stereostructure contributing to the extremely potent cytotoxicity of arenastatin A.

Total Synthesis of Cryptophycins-1, -3, -4, -24 (Arenastatin A), and -29, Cytotoxic Depsipeptides from Cyanobacteria of the Nostocaceae

A convergent synthesis of cryptophycins has been developed in which (5S,6R)-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-8-phenylocta-2(E),7(E)-dienoic acid (A) is coupled with an amino acid segment (B). Two stereo-selective routes to A are described, the first employing allylatio

A concise synthesis of the cytotoxic depsipeptide arenastatin A

Arenastatin A (1, cryptophycin 24) was synthesized by convergence of hydroxy ester 16 with amino acid derivative 27; two independent and highly efficient routes to 16 are disclosed.
