Nineteen biotinylated squamocin/bullatacin derivatives have been synthesized for targeted delivery to biotin receptor overexpressed tumor cells. Most biotinylated squamocin and bullatacin derivatives show similar in vitro cytotoxicity against the biotin receptor non-overexpressed L1210 cells as squamocin and bullatacin, respectively, while against biotin receptor overexpressed 4T1 and P815 tumor cells, several derivatives show significantly higher potency and better selectivity. Among all the synthesized compounds, 15,28-di-O-(6-biotinylamidohexanoyl)squamocin (16) is the most potent, which is 10 and 26 times more active than squamocin against 4T1 and P815 cells, respectively. Compound 16 also appears to be six and fifteen times more selective than squamocin towards 4T1 and P815 cells, respectively, against L1210 cells. The structure activity relationship analysis has revealed that the preferred site for biotinylation is different for squamocin and bullatacin, and it also depends on whether a linking spacer is present.

Cancer cell proliferation in some organs often depends on conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate via pyruvate carboxylase (PC) for replenishing the tricarboxylic acid cycle to support biomass production. In this study, PC was identified as the cellular target of erianin using the photoaffinity labeling-click chemistry-based probe strategy. Erianin potently inhibited the enzymatic activity of PC, which mediated the anticancer effect of erianin in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Erianin modulated cancer-related gene expression and induced changes in metabolic intermediates. Moreover, erianin promotes mitochondrial oxidative stress and inhibits glycolysis, leading to insufficient energy required for cell proliferation. Analysis of 14 natural analogs of erianin showed that some compounds exhibited potent inhibitory effects on PC. These results suggest that PC is a cellular target of erianin and reveal the unrecognized function of PC in HCC tumorigenesis; erianin along with its analogs warrants further development as a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HCC.

Fourteen glaucocalyxin A biotinylated derivatives, one glaucocalyxin C biotinylated derivative, and two oridonin biotinylated derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their structures were confirmed from 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS data. The derivatives were evaluated for cytotoxic activities against lung (A549), cervical cancer cell line HeLa derivative (KB), multidrug-resistant KB subline (KB-VIN), triple-negative breast (MDA-MB-231), and estrogen receptor-positive breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines.

The orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 (also known as TR3 or nerve growth factor-induced clone B NGFI-B) functions as a nuclear transcription factor in the regulation of target gene expression and plays a critical role in the regulation of differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and survival of many different cell types. Recent studies demonstrate that Nur77 also involves many important physiological and pathological processes including cancer, inflammation and immunity, cardiovascular diseases, and bone diseases. Our previous studies showed that cardiac glycosides could induce the expression of Nur77 protein and its translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and subsequent targeting to mitochondria, leading to apoptosis of cancer cells. In order to probe the Nur77 protein inducting pathway, we designed and synthesized a series of novel biotinylated cardiac glycosides from β-Antiarin and α-Antiarin, two typical cardiac glycosides from the plant of Antiaris toxicaria. The induction of Nur77 protein expression of these biotinylated cardiac glycosides and their inhibitory effects on NIH-H460 cancer cell proliferation were evaluated. Results displayed that some biotinylated cardiac glycosides could significantly induce the expression of Nur77 protein comparable with their parent compounds β-Antiarin and α-Antiarin. Also, their streptavidin binding activities were evaluated. Among them, biotinylated cardiac glycosides P4b and P5a exhibited significant effect on the induction of Nur77 expression along with high binding capacity with streptavidin, suggesting that they can be used as probes for probing Nur77 protein inducting pathway.

The TW17 ribozyme, a catalytic RNA selected from a pool of artificial RNA, is specific for the Zn2+-dependent hydrolysis of a phosphorothiolate thiolester bond. Here, we describe the organic synthesis of both guanosine α-thio-monophosphate and the substrates required for selecting and characterizing the TW17 ribozyme, and for deciphering the catalytic mechanism of the ribozyme. By successively substituting the substrate originally conjugated to the RNA pool with structurally modified substrates, we demonstrated that the TW17 ribozyme specifically catalyzes phosphorothiolate thiolester hydrolysis. Metal titration studies of TW17 ribozyme catalysis in the presence of Zn2+ alone, Zn2+ and Mg2+, and Zn2+ and [Co(NH3)6]3+ supported our findings that Zn2+ is absolutely required for ribozyme catalysis, and indicated that optimal ribozyme catalysis involves the presence of outer-sphere and one inner-sphere Mg2+. A survey of the TW17 ribozyme activity at various pHs revealed that the activity of the ribozyme critically depends on the alkaline conditions. Moreover, a GNRA tetraloop-containing ribozyme constructed with active catalysis in trans provided catalysis and multiple substrate turnover efficiencies significantly higher than ribozymes lacking a GNRA tetraloop. This research supports the essential roles of Zn2+, Mg2+, and a GNRA tetraloop in modulating the TW17 ribozyme structure for optimal ribozyme catalysis, leading also to the formulation of a proposed reaction mechanism for TW17 ribozyme catalysis.

Cisplatin is a widely used antineoplastic drug, while its nephrotoxicity limits the clinical application. Although several mechanisms contributing to nephrotoxicity have been reported, the direct protein targets are unclear. Herein we reported the synthesis of 29 cisplatin derivatives and the structure-toxicity relationship (STR) of these compounds with MTT assay in human renal proximal tubule cells (HK-2) and pig kidney epithelial cells (LLC-PK1). To the best of our knowledge, this study represented the first report regarding the structure-toxicity relationship (STR) of cisplatin derivatives. The potency of biotin-pyridine conjugated derivative 3 met the requirement for target identification, and the preliminary chemical proteomics results suggested that it is a promising tool for further target identification of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

A new series of novel 1-phenanthryl-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated for their PAK4 inhibitory activities and anti-proliferative effects against three cancer cell lines A549, MCF-7 and HT-1080. Among them, compound 12a exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against PAK4 with an IC50 value of 0.42 μM. Moreover, this compound inhibited the invasion of A549 tumor cells by regulating the PAK4-LIMK1-cofilin signaling pathway in vitro, and exhibited anti-tumor activity in vivo in the A549 tumor xenograft model. To further evaluate the binding mode of 12a with PAK4, the biotinylated 12a derivative has been synthesized and it was used for immunoprecipitation assay. Intriguingly, our observations suggest that 12a interacts with both the N- and C-termini of PAK4.
