Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), an important transcription factor for tumor survival, is an attractive target for anti-cancer treatment. Herein, we present the design and synthesis of LXY7824, a simplified analogue of 4-O-methylsaucerneol. In addition

Despite the therapeutic potential of marine-derived lamellarin natural products, their preclinical development has been hampered by their lipophilic nature, causing very poor aqueous solubility. In order to develop more drug-like analogs, their structure was streamlined in this study from both the cytotoxic activity and lipophilicity standpoints. First, a modified total synthetic route was successfully devised to construct a library of 59 systematically designed lamellarin analogs, which were then subjected to cytotoxicity and log P determinations. Along with the 25 first-generation lamellarins previously synthesized in our laboratory, the structure-activity and structure-lipophilicity relationships were extensively evaluated. Our results clearly indicated the additional structural requirements around the lamellarin skeleton which, when combined with those reported previously, can provide invaluable guidance for further modifications to increase the aqueous solubility of these compounds.

With the goal to improve the aqueous solubility of lamellarins, the lactone ring in their skeleton was replaced with a lactam moiety in azalamellarins. However, the reported synthetic route produced such derivatives in very low yields. Hence, this study focused on developing an efficient simplified total synthetic scheme that could furnish both azalamellarins and the parent lamellarins from the same pyrrole ester intermediates. Subsequent comparative profiling revealed that the introduced lactone-to-lactam replacement rendered these molecules less lipophilic, whereas their cancer cytotoxicity remained equipotent to that of the parent compounds. Interestingly, their inhibitory activity was significantly enhanced towards the multifaceted GSK-3β enzyme. Our results clearly demonstrate the therapeutic potential of this promising class of marine-derived natural products and justify their further development, especially into anticancer agents.

Biosynthesis. Part 27.1,2 Colchicine: Studies of the phenolic oxidative coupling and ring-expansion processes based on incorporation of multiply labelled 1-phenethylisoquinolines

, p. 2979 - 2987 (2007/10/03)
Earlier research from our group had proved that the biosynthesis of colchicine and its tropolonoid relatives involves the oxidative ring-closure of a 1-phenethyltetrahydroisoquinoline, autumnaline, followed by extensive modification of the cyclised product. These steps pose many mechanistic and stereochemical questions which are set out in the Introduction. The sequel then provides the answers based on the results from a series of incorporation experiments on Colchicum plants involving multiply labelled forms of autumnaline and its biological precursors. These multiply labelled samples required the synthesis of eleven differently labelled tetrahydroisoquinolines; the methods used to introduce the labels are described. Autumnaline is shown to be present in Colchicum autumnale plants and labelled forms of some precursors of it are synthesised and studied. Taken together, the findings allow further definition of a substantial part of the biosynthetic pathway to colchicine and its relatives.
