    The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) MAPK pathway is dysregulated in various human cancers and is considered an attractive therapeutic target for cancer. Therefore, several inhibitors of this pathway are being developed, and some are already used in the clinic. We have previously identified an anticancer compound, ACA-28, with a unique property to preferentially induce ERK-dependent apoptosis in melanoma cells. To comprehensively understand the biological cellular impact induced by ACA-28, we performed a global gene expression analysis of human melanoma SK-MEL-28 cells exposed to ACA-28 using a DNA microarray. The transcriptome analysis identified nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a master transcription factor that combats oxidative stress, as the most upregulated genetic pathway after ACA-28 treatment. Consistently, ACA-28 showed properties to increase the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as Nrf2 protein, which is normally repressed by proteasomal degradation and activated in response to oxidative stresses. Furthermore, the ROS scavenger N-acetyl cysteine significantly attenuated the anticancer activity of ACA-28. Thus, ACA-28 activates Nrf2 signaling and exerts anticancer activity partly via its ROS-stimulating property. Interestingly, human A549 cancer cells with constitutively high levels of Nrf2 protein showed resistance to ACA-28, as compared with SK-MEL-28. Transient overexpression of Nrf2 also increased the resistance of cells to ACA-28, while knockdown of Nrf2 exerted the opposite effect. Thus, upregulation of Nrf2 signaling protects cancer cells from ACA-28-mediated cell death. Notably, the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 substantially enhanced the cell death-inducing property of ACA-28 in pancreatic cancer cells, T3M4 and PANC-1. Our data suggest that Nrf2 plays a key role in determining cancer cell susceptibility to ACA-28 and provides a novel strategy for cancer therapy to combine the Nrf2 inhibitor and ACA-28.

    In contrast to previous SAR studies of aza-compounds (23vs.24 and 25), the present study using analogues (26a–26c, 27c, and 28a–28c) of salacinol (1) revealed an essential role of the thiosugar ring in effectively inhibiting α-glucosidase.

    We describe activity-based protein profiling for analyzing the adenylation domains of non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (ABPP-NRPS) in bacterial proteomes. Using a range of non-proteoinogenic amino acid sulfamoyladenosines, the competitive format of ABPP-NRPS provided substrate tolerance toward non-proteinogenic amino acids. When coupled with precursor-directed biosynthesis, a non-proteinogenic amino acid (O-allyl-L-serine) was successfully incorporated into gramicidin S.

    The extracellular-signal-regulated-kinase (ERK) signaling pathway is essential for cell proliferation and is frequently deregulated in human tumors such as pancreatic cancers. ACAGT-007a (GT-7), an anti-cancer compound, stimulates ERK phosphorylation, thereby inducing growth inhibition and apoptosis in T3M4 pancreatic cancer cells. However, how GT-7 stimulates ERK phosphorylation and induces apoptosis in ERK-active T3M4 cells remains unclear. To look into the mechanism, we performed a spatiotemporal analysis of ERK phosphorylation mediated by GT-7 in T3M4 cells. The immunoblotting showed that GT-7 stimulates ERK phosphorylation within 1 hr, which was more remarkable after 2 hr. Importantly, apoptosis induction as evaluated by the cleaved Caspase-3 was observed only after 2 hr incubation with GT-7. The immunofluorescence staining revealed the enrichment of phosphorylated ERK (phospho-ERK) in the nucleus upon 1 hr incubation with GT-7. Fractionation experiments showed that GT-7 increases phospho-ERK levels in the cytoplasm within 1 hr, whereas nuclear phospho-ERK accumulation is observed after 2 hr incubation with GT-7. MEK inhibition by U0126 significantly diminishes nuclear phospho-ERK distribution and apoptosis induction stimulated by GT-7. Thus, GT-7 may initiate the induction of ERK phosphorylation in the cytoplasm, which leads to phospho-ERK enrichment in the nucleus. This nuclear phospho-ERK accumulation by GT-7 precedes and may underlie apoptosis induction in T3M4.

    Poly-trans-[(2-carboxyethyl)germasesquioxane] (Ge-132), an organogermanium, is hydrolyzed to 3-(trihydroxygermyl)propanoic acid (THGP) in aqueous solutions, and reduces inflammation, pain and cancer, whereas the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Sulfides including H2S, a gasotransmitter, generated from l-cysteine by some enzymes including cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), are pro-nociceptive, since they enhance Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel activity expressed in the primary afferents, most probably by canceling the channel inhibition by Zn2+ linked via coordinate bonding to His191 of Cav3.2. Given that germanium is reactive to sulfur, we tested whether THGP would directly trap sulfide, and inhibit sulfide-induced enhancement of Cav3.2 activity and sulfide-dependent pain in mice. Using mass spectrometry and 1H NMR techniques, we demonstrated that THGP directly reacted with sulfides including Na2S and NaSH, and formed a sulfur-containing reaction product, which decreased in the presence of ZnCl2. In Cav3.2-transfected HEK293 cells, THGP inhibited the sulfide-induced enhancement of T-type Ca2+ channel-dependent membrane currents. In mice, THGP, administered systemically or locally, inhibited the mechanical allodynia caused by intraplantar Na2S. In the mice with cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis and cerulein-induced pancreatitis, which exhibited upregulation of CSE in the bladder and pancreas, respectively, systemic administration of THGP as well as a selective T-type Ca2+ channel inhibitor suppressed the cystitis-related and pancreatitis-related visceral pain. These data suggest that THGP traps sulfide and inhibits sulfide-induced enhancement of Cav3.2 activity, leading to suppression of Cav3.2-dependent pain caused by sulfide applied exogenously and generated endogenously.

    Although 4,5-didehydroguadiscine (12a), an alkaloid with potent melanogenesis-inhibitory activity isolated from Hornschuchia obliqua (Annonaceae), consists of an aporphine nucleus with an aromatized B-ring, to date, it has not been utilized as a template for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of pharmacological activities because of its exceptional structure. Accordingly, herein, five analogs (12b-12f) of 12a and five benzylisoquinoline analogs (13b-13f) lacking the C11a-C11b bond of 12b-12f were prepared. The inhibitory effects of 12b-12f and 13b-13f on melanogenesis in theophylline-stimulated B16 melanoma 4A5 cells were examined and compared with those of 12a. Melanogenesis-inhibitory activities of 12b-12f were the same as that of 12a, whereas the melanogenesis-inhibitory activities of 13b-13f were significantly inferior to those of 12a and 12b-12f. These results suggest that the C11a-C11b bond plays an essential role in the melanogenesis-inhibitory activities of 12a-12e.

    The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/ERK and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathways are dysregulated in various human cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which has a very poor prognosis due to its lack of efficient therapies. We have previously identified ACAGT-007a (GT-7), an anti-cancer compound that kills ERK-active melanoma cells by inducing ERK-dependent apoptosis. Here, we investigated the apoptosis-inducing effect of GT-7 on three PDAC cell lines and its relevance with the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. GT-7 induced apoptosis in PDAC cells with different KRAS mutations (MIA-Pa-Ca-2 (KRAS G12C), T3M4 (KRAS Q61H), and PANC-1 (KRAS G12D)), being T3M4 most susceptible, followed by MIA-Pa-Ca-2, and PANC-1 was most resistant to apoptosis induction by GT-7. GT-7 stimulated ERK phosphorylation in the three PDAC cells, but only T3M4 displayed ERK-activation-dependent apoptosis. Furthermore, GT-7 induced a marked down-regulation of AKT phosphorylation after a transient peak in T3M4, whereas PANC-1 displayed the strongest and most sustained AKT activation, followed by MIA-Pa-Ca-2, suggesting that sustained AKT phosphorylation as a determinant for the resistance to GT-7-mediated apoptosis. Consistently, a PI3K inhibitor, Wortmannin, abolished AKT phosphorylation and enhanced GT-7-mediated apoptosis in T3M4 and MIA-Pa-Ca-2, but not in PANC-1, which showed residual AKT phosphorylation. This is the first report that ERK stimulation alone or in combination with AKT signaling inhibition can effectively induce apoptosis in PDAC and provides a rationale for a novel concurrent targeting of the PI3K/AKT and ERK pathways.

    The divergent synthesis of cis-, 4a-epi-cis-, 2-epi-cis-, and trans-decahydroquinoline-type poison-frog alkaloids was achieved from the known chiral acetate 5 using a stereoselective Michael-type conjugate addition reaction and an intramolecular aldol-type cyclization with epimerization. The conformational control was achieved on the basis of the A1,3 strain in the starting material and the stereoelectronic effect. More specifically, the synthesis of cis-251 A, cis-209 J-1, cis-223F-1, 4a-epi-cis-251 A, 2-epi-cis-251 A, and trans-251 A bearing a seven-carbon chain at the α-position of the nitrogen atom on the piperidine nucleus was also realized. These compounds are expected to show selective and potent inhibitory activities toward nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

    Much of our current knowledge on nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) is based on studies in which the full NRPS system or each protein domain is expressed in heterologous hosts. Consequently, methods to detect the endogenous activity of NRPSs, under natural cellular conditions, are needed for the study of NRPS cell biology. Here, we describe the in vivo activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) for endogenous NRPSs and its applications to the study of their activities in bacteria. Remarkably, in vitro and in vivo ABPP in the context of the surfactin producer Bacillus subtilis enabled the visualization, tracking, and imaging of an endogenous SrfAB-NRPS with remarkable selectivity and sensitivity. Furthermore, in vivo, ABPP allowed the discovery of the degradation processes of the endogenous SrfAB-NRPS in the context of its native producer bacteria. Overall, this study deepens our understanding of the properties of NRPSs that cannot be addressed by conventional methods.

    A major challenge in fluorescence imaging experiments, which are essential to determine protein activity, expression, and localization, is the penetration of small-molecule probes through the outer membrane permeability barrier of bacteria. Here, we describe a novel strategy for small-molecule probe-based fluorescence protein labeling and imaging in the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli. We targeted a siderophore enterobactin biosynthetic enzyme EntE in E. coli. When coupled with an efflux pump inhibitor carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, small-molecule probes were able to efficiently enter the cells, leading to the fluorescence labeling and imaging of overproduced EntE in E. coli. This study demonstrates that the combination of small-molecule probes with appropriate efflux pump inhibitors may substantially enhance their interaction with the target proteins in live bacteria.

    During our studies characterizing functional substances from food resources for the prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases, we isolated the active constituents, salacinol (1) and neokotalanol (4), and related thiosugar sulfoniums, from the roots and stems of the genus Salacia plants [Celastraceae (Hippocrateaceae)] such as Salacia reticulata Wight, S. oblonga Wall., and S. chinensis L., and observed their antidiabetic effects. These plant materials have been used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine as a specific remedy at the early stage of diabetes, and have been extensively consumed in Japan, the United States, and other countries as a food supplement for the prevention of obesity and diabetes. Here, we review our studies on the antidiabetic effects of plants from the genus Salacia, from basic chemical and pharmacological research to their application and development as new functional food ingredients.

    Hitachimycin is a macrolactam antibiotic with an (S)-β-phenylalanine (β-Phe) at the starter position of its polyketide skeleton. (S)-β-Phe is formed from l-α-phenylalanine by the phenylananine-2,3-aminomutase HitA in the hitachimycin biosynthetic pathway. In this study, we produced new hitachimycin analogs via mutasynthesis by feeding various (S)-β-Phe analogs to a ΔhitA strain. We obtained six hitachimycin analogs with F at the ortho, meta, or para position and Cl, Br, or a CH3 group at the meta position of the phenyl moiety, as well as two hitachimycin analogs with thienyl substitutions. Furthermore, we carried out a biochemical and structural analysis of HitB, a β-amino acid-selective adenylation enzyme that introduces (S)-β-Phe into the hitachimycin biosynthetic pathway. The KM values of the incorporated (S)-β-Phe analogs and natural (S)-β-Phe were similar. However, the KM values of unincorporated (S)-β-Phe analogs with Br and a CH3 group at the ortho or para position of the phenyl moiety were high, indicating that HitB functions as a gatekeeper to select macrolactam starter units during mutasynthesis. The crystal structure of HitB in complex with (S)-β-3-Br-phenylalanine sulfamoyladenosine (β-m-Br-Phe-SA) revealed that the bulky meta-Br group is accommodated by the conformational flexibility around Phe328, whose side chain is close to the meta position. The aromatic group of β-m-Br-Phe-SA is surrounded by hydrophobic and aromatic residues, which appears to confer the conformational flexibility that enables HitB to accommodate the meta-substituted (S)-β-Phe. The new hitachimycin analogs exhibited different levels of biological activity in HeLa cells and multidrug-sensitive budding yeast, suggesting that they may target different molecules.

    Four chain-extended analogs (12a-12d) and two related de-O-sulfonated analogs (13a and 13c) by introducing alkyl groups (a: R = C3H7, b R = C6H13, c: R = C8H17, d: R = C10H21) to the side chains of salacinol (1), a natural α-glucosidase inhibitor from Ayurvedic traditional medicine "Salacia", were synthesized. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of all the synthesized analogs were evaluated in vitro. Against human intestinal maltase, the inhibitory activities of 12a and 13a with seven-carbon side chain were equal to that of 1. In contrast, analogs (12b-12d, and 13c) exhibited higher level of inhibitory activity against the same enzyme than 1 and had equal or higher potency than those of the clinically used anti-diabetics, voglibose, acarbose, and miglitol. Thus, elongation of the side chains of 1 was effective for specifically increasing the inhibitory activity against human intestinal maltase.

    The gatekeeping adenylation (A) domain of the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) selectively incorporates specific proteinogenic/non-proteinogenic amino acid into a growing peptide chain. The EntE of the enterobactin NRPS is a discrete aryl acid A-domain with 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) substrate specificity. Reprogrammed EntE N235G variant possesses an enlarged substrate recognition site, and is capable of accepting non-native aryl acids. Biochemical characterization of this unique substrate recognition site should provide a better understanding of activi-site microenvironments. Here, we synthesized a non-hydrolysable adenylate analogue with 2-aminobenzoic acid (2-ABA), 3-aminobenzoic acid (3-ABA), and 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) and used them to calculate the apparent inhibition constants (Kiapp.). Dose-response experiments using 3-ABA-sulfamoyladenosine (AMS) provided Kiapp. values of 596 nM for wild-type EntE and 2.4 nM for the N235G variants. These results suggest that 3-amino group of benzoic acid plays an important role in substrate recognition by the N235G variant. These findings would help designing aryl acid substrates with substituents at the 2- and 3-positions.

    The recent discovery that an ERK signaling modulator [ACA-28 (2a)] preferentially kills human melanoma cell lines by inducing ERK-dependent apoptosis has generated significant interest in the field of anti-cancer therapy. In the first SAR study on 2a, here, we successfully developed candidates (2b, 2c) both of which induce more potent and selective apoptosis towards ERK-active melanoma cells than 2a, thus revealing the structural basis for inducing the ERK-dependent apoptosis and proposing the therapeutic prospect of these candidates against ERK-dependent cancers represented by melanoma.

    Aryl acids are most commonly found in iron-scavenging siderophores but are not limited to them. The nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) codes of aryl acids remain poorly elucidated relative to those of amino acids. Here, we defined more precisely the role of active-site residues in aryl acid adenylation domains (A-domains) by gradually grafting the NRPS codes used for salicylic acid (Sal) into an archetypal aryl acid A-domain, EntE [specific for the substrate 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB)]. Enzyme kinetics and modeling studies of these EntE variants demonstrated that the NRPS code residues at positions 236, 240, and 339 collectively regulate the substrate specificity toward DHB and Sal. Furthermore, the EntE variants exhibited the ability to activate the non-native aryl acids 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, 3-aminobenzoic acid, 3-fluorobenzoic acid, and 3-chlorobenzoic acid. These studies enhance our knowledge of the NRPS codes of aryl acids and could be exploited to reprogram aryl acid A-domains for non-native aryl acids.

    Adenylation (A) domains act as the gatekeepers of non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), ensuring the activation and thioesterification of the correct amino acid/aryl acid building blocks. Aryl acid building blocks are most commonly observed in iron-chelating siderophores, but are not limited to them. Very little is known about the reprogramming of aryl acid A-domains. We show that a single asparagine-to-glycine mutation in an aryl acid A-domain leads to an enzyme that tolerates a wide range of non-native aryl acids. The engineered catalyst is capable of activating non-native aryl acids functionalized with nitro, cyano, bromo, and iodo groups, even though no enzymatic activity of wild-type enzyme was observed toward these substrates. Co-crystal structures with non-hydrolysable aryl-AMP analogues revealed the origins of this expansion of substrate promiscuity, highlighting an enlargement of the substrate binding pocket of the enzyme. Our findings may be exploited to produce diversified aryl acid containing natural products and serve as a template for further directed evolution in combinatorial biosynthesis.

The engineered catalyst is capable of activating non-native aryl acids functionalized with nitro, cyano, bromo, and iodo groups, even though no enzymatic activity of wild-type enzyme was observed toward these substrates. Co-crystal structures with non-hydrolysable aryl-AMP analogues revealed the origins of this expansion of substrate promiscuity, highlighting an enlargement of the substrate binding pocket of the enzyme. Our findings may be exploited to produce diversified aryl acid containing natural products and serve as a template for further directed evolution in combinatorial biosynthesis.

    A unique 1,7-S- and Se-shift reaction under Pummerer reaction conditions of 4-alkenyl-3-sulfinyl- and seleninylpyrroles was described. The usual Pummerer reaction of 4-(alkenylaminomethyl)-3-phenylsulfinylpyrroles and a successive reaction with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) yielded either pyrrolo[3,2-c]azepines or N-pyrrol-3-ylmethyl-N-(4-hydroxy-3-sulfanylpropyl)-p-toluenesulfonamides (diols). Seleno-Pummerer reactions of 3-selanylmethylpyrroles also proceeded via in situ generation of selenoxides, followed by a treatment with TBAH.

    Acyltransferases (ATs) are responsible for the selection and incorporation of acyl building blocks in the biosynthesis of various polyketide natural products. The trans-AT modular polyketide synthases have a discrete trans-acting AT for the loading of an acyl unit onto the acyl carrier protein (ACP) located within each module. Despite the importance of protein-protein interactions between ATs and ACPs in trans-AT assembly lines, the dynamic actions of ACPs and trans-acting ATs remain largely uncharacterized because of the inherently transient nature of ACP-enzyme interactions. Herein, we report the crystal structure of the AT-ACP complex of disorazole trans-AT polyketide synthase. We used a bromoacetamide pantetheine cross-linking probe in combination with a Cys mutation to trap the transient AT-ACP complex, allowing the determination of the crystal structure of the disorazole AT-ACP complex at 2.03 Å resolution. On the basis of the cross-linked AT-ACP complex structure, ACP residues recognized by trans-acting AT were identified and validated by mutational studies, which demonstrated that the disorazole AT recognizes the loop 1 and helix III′ residues of disorazole ACP. The disorazole AT-ACP complex structure presents a foundation for defining the dynamic processes associated with trans-acting ATs and provides detailed mechanistic insights into their ability to recognize ACPs.

    Syntheses of amorfrutin C, a natural product with potent antitumor activity, as well as pseudo-amorfrutin A were accomplished. Protected 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid derivative 5 was used as a common synthetic intermediate. The introduction of a prenyl moiety to 5 was achieved through bromination followed by a CuCN-meditated alkylation reaction. Interestingly, N-bromosuccinimide promoted monobromination at the 6-position, leading to pseudo-amorfrutin A 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin triggered bromination at both the 6- and 8-positions, leading to naturally occurring amorfrutin C.

    Background: Neoponkoranol is one of de-O-sulfonated sulfonium salts isolated from Genus Salacia showing potent inhibitory activities against α-glucosidases. In previously reported synthetic strategies, the two key coupling partners should be firstly constructed from different starting materials and the following coupling reaction is usually time-consuming. Thus, a more efficient and scalable synthetic protocol would be necessary for further SAR studies of this bioactive natural product. Objective: Based on our previous synthetic studies on this series of natural products, the aim of the present study is to develop a novel total synthesis of neoponkoranol in a divergent and efficient way starting from inexpensive commercially available D-glucose. This is the first report of gram-scale synthesis of neoponkoranol. Method and Results: Unlike all other reported strategies, the two coupling partners epoxide (14) and thiosugar (19) were firstly synthesized from an identical intermediate diol (12) which could be easily obtained in 3 steps from D-glucose. Notably, the construction of 14 and 19 could be achieved without any purification process. The subsequent acid mediated coupling reaction between resulted coupling partners was accomplished in only 4 hours while previous strategies usually took several days to complete the process. A gram-scale quantity of coupling reaction was then conducted under the same reacting condition and the desired sulfonium salt was isolated without any loss of the yield. Conclusion: The newly developed scalable synthesis of neoponkoranol provided a good opportunity for further pharmaceutical studies on this bioactive natural product.

    Structural and activity studies have revealed the dynamic and transient actions of carrier protein (CP) activity in primary and secondary metabolic pathways. CP-mediated interactions play a central role in nonribosomal peptide biosynthesis, as they serve as covalent tethers for amino acid and aryl acid substrates and enable the growth of peptide intermediates. Strategies are therefore required to study protein-protein interactions efficiently. Herein, we describe activity-based probes used to demonstrate the protein-protein interactions between aryl CP (ArCP) and aryl acid adenylation (A) domains as well as the substrate specificities of the aryl acid Adomains. If coupled with in-gel fluorescence imaging, this strategy allows visualization of the protein-protein interactions required to recognize and transfer the substrate to the partner ArCP. This technique has potential for the analysis of protein-protein interactions within these biosynthetic enzymes at the molecular level and for use in the combinatorial biosynthesis of new nonribosomal peptides.

    Phosphopantetheinylation is an essential post-translational protein modification to primary and secondary metabolic pathways that ensures bacterial cell viability and virulence, and it is used in the production of many pharmaceuticals. Traditional methods have not provided a comprehensive understanding of these modifications. By using chemical proteomic probes for adenylation and thiolation domains in nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), chemoproteomics has been applied to survey and validate the cellular activity of 4-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]-N-(4-methoxypyridin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carbothioamide (ML267), which is a potent and selective small-molecule 4-phosphopantetheinyl transferase (PPTase) inhibitor that attenuates secondary metabolism and viability of bacterial cells. ML267 inhibited Sfp-type PPTase and antagonized phosphopantetheinylation in cells, which resulted in a decrease in phosphopantetheinylated NRPSs and the attenuation of Sfp-PPTase-dependent metabolite production. These results indicate that this chemoproteomics platform should enable a precise interpretation of the cellular activities of Sfp-type PPTase inhibitors.

    Here, we carried out a chemical genetic screen using a fission yeast phenotypic assay and showed that ACA-28, a synthetic derivative of 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA), which is a natural ginger compound, effectively inhibited the growth of melanoma cancer cells wherein ERK MAPK signaling is hyperactivated due to mutations in the upstream activating regulators. ACA-28 more potently inhibited the growth of melanoma cells than did the parental compound ACA. Importantly, the growth of normal human epidermal melanocytes (NHEM) was less affected by ACA-28 at the same 50% inhibitory concentration. In addition, ACA-28 specifically induced apoptosis in NIH/3T3 cells which were oncogenically transformed with human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2/ErbB2), but not in the parental cells. ACA-28 might serve as a promising seed compound for melanoma treatment.

    The first total syntheses of the geranylated pyranocoumarins, mameasins C (1) and D (2), aromatase inhibitors isolated from the flowers of Mammea siamensis, were accomplished in five steps, starting from phloroglucinol 3. In this strategy, the characteristic pyran ring-fused coumarin core of 1 and 2 was effectively constructed by Friedel-Crafts acylation of 3, followed by Reformatsky reaction of the resultant ketone to give a key coumarin intermediate 9. Compound 9 was converted to targets 1 and 2 in a stepwise manner by successive C-acylation and O-geranylation, followed by a [1,3]-sigmatropic geranyl shift. Furthermore, screening of intermediates obtained in the synthetic pathway to 1 and 2 revealed that de-geranylated pyranocoumarins (10 and 11) show superior aromatase inhibitory activity as compared to the natural products 1 and 2.

    The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway is essential for cell proliferation and is frequently deregulated in human tumors such as melanoma. Melanoma remains incurable despite the use of conventional chemotherapy; consequently, development of new therapeutic agents for melanoma is highly desirable. Here, we carried out a chemical genetic screen using a fission yeast phenotypic assay and showed that ACA-28, a synthetic derivative of 10-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA), which is a natural ginger compound, effectively inhibited the growth of melanoma cancer cells wherein ERK MAPK signaling is hyperactivated due to mutations in the upstream activating regulators. ACA-28 more potently inhibited the growth of melanoma cells than did the parental compound ACA. Importantly, the growth of normal human epidermal melanocytes (NHEM) was less affected by ACA-28 at the same 50% inhibitory concentration. In addition, ACA-28 specifically induced apoptosis in NIH/3T3 cells which were oncogenically transformed with human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2/ErbB2), but not in the parental cells. Notably, the ACA-28-induced apoptosis in melanoma and HER2-transformed cells was abrogated when ERK activation was blocked with a specific MEK inhibitor U0126. Consistently, ACA-28 more strongly stimulated ERK phosphorylation in melanoma cells, as compared in NHEM. ACA-28 might serve as a promising seed compound for melanoma treatment.

    The metabolism of the norisoprenoid beta-ionone was investigated in vitro using human liver microsomes and 11 different recombinant cytochrome P450 enzymes expressed in Trichoplusia ni cells. beta-Ionone was found to be oxidized via 4S-hydroxylation by CYP2B6 in human liver microsomes. CYP1A2 also regioselectively catalyzed the hydroxylation of beta-ionone to yield 4-hydroxylation; this conversion was not stereoselective. Further kinetic analysis revealed that CYP2B6 exhibited the highest activity for beta-ionone 4-hydroxylation. Kinetic analysis showed that K-m and V-max for oxidation of beta-ionone by CYP1A2 and CYP2B6 was 107.9 +/- 36.0 mu M and 3200.3 +/- 323.0 nmol/min/nmol P450 and 5.6 +/- 1.2 mu M and 572.8 +/- 29.8 nmol/min/nmol P450, respectively. The reaction rates observed using human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP2B6 were very high compared with those of other CYP2B6 substrates reported thus far. These results suggest that beta-ionone, a norisoprenoid present in nature, is one of the effective substrates for CYP2B enzymes in human liver microsomes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that 4-hydroxy beta-ionone has been described as a human metabolite of beta-ionone.

    As part of an ongoing study on the structure-activity relationship of acremomannolipin A (1)-the novel glycolipid isolated from Acremonium strictum possessing potent calcium signal-modulating activity-the role of acyl substituents on the D-mannose moiety was examined. Three partially deacylated homologs (2a-2c) and 20 homologs (2d-2w) bearing different acyloxy side chains were synthesized via the stereoselective beta-mannosylation of appropriately protected mannosyl sulfoxides (3) with D-mannitol derivatives (4), and their calcium signal-modulating activities were examined. The activities of 2a-2c were completely lost. Homologs bearing relatively short acyloxy groups at C-3, C-4, and C-6 positions (2t-2v) exhibited less activity than 1, whereas a heptanoyl homolog (2w: C-7) maintained activity nearly equal to that of 1. When the acyl groups at these three positions were substituted by an octanoyl group (2i: C-8), the activity was completely lost. On the other hand, of the 10 homologs in which the octanoyl at C-2 was substituted by other acyloxy moieties (2j-2s), three (2m: C-7, 2n: C-9, 2o: C-10) maintained potent activity. These results suggested that peracylated mannose structure is critical for calcium signal modulating activity, and this activity is precisely dependent on the length of four acyl side chains on D-mannose.

    Advanced metastatic melanoma, one of the most aggressive malignancies, is currently without reliable therapy. Therefore, new therapies are urgently needed. Mangiferin is a naturally occurring glucosylxanthone and exerts many beneficial biological activities. However, the effect of mangiferin on metastasis and tumor growth of metastatic melanoma remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the effect of mangiferin on metastasis and tumor growth in a mouse metastatic melanoma model. We found that mangiferin inhibited spontaneous metastasis and tumor growth. Furthermore, mangiferin suppressed the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and expression of phosphorylated NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), inhibitor of kappa B kinase (IKK), and inhibitor of kappa B (IκB) and increases the expression of IκB protein in vivo. In addition, we found that mangiferin inhibited the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and very late antigens (VLAs) in vivo. Mangiferin treatment also increased the expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved Poly ADP ribose polymerase-1 (PARP-1), p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA), p53, and phosphorylated p53 proteins, and decreased the expression of Survivin and Bcl-associated X (Bcl-xL) proteins in vivo. These results indicate that mangiferin selectivity suppresses the NF-κB pathway via inhibition of NIK activation, thereby inhibiting metastasis and tumor growth. Importantly, the number of reported NIK selective inhibitors is limited. Taken together, our data suggest that mangiferin may be a potential therapeutic agent with a new mechanism of targeting NIK for the treatment of metastatic melanoma.

    Using an in silico method, seven analogs bearing hydrophobic substituents (8a: Me, 8b: Et, 8c: n-Pent, 8d: n-Hept, 8e: n-Tridec, 8f: isoBu and 8g: neoPent) at the 3'-O-position in salacinol (1), a highly potent natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitor from Ayurvedic traditional medicine 'Salacia', were designed and synthesized. In order to verify the computational SAR assessments, their alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activities were evaluated in vitro. All analogs (8a-8g) exhibited an equal or considerably higher level of inhibitory activity against rat small intestinal alpha-glucosidases compared with the original sulfonate (1), and were as potent as or higher in potency than the clinically used anti-diabetics, voglibose, acarbose or miglitol. Their activities against human maltase exhibited good relationships to the results obtained with enzymes of rat origin. Among the designed compounds, the one with a 3'-O-neopentyl moiety (8g) was most potent, with an approximately ten fold increase in activity against human maltase compared to 1.

    A quantitative analytical method for five aporphine alkaloids, nuciferine (1), nornuciferine (2), N-methylasimilobine (3), asimilobine (4), and pronuciferine (5), and five benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, armepavine (6), norarmepavine (7), N-methylcoclaurine (8), coclaurine (9), and norjuziphine (10), identified as the constituents responsible for the melanogenesis inhibitory activity of the extracts of lotus flowers (the flower buds of Nelumbo nucifera), has been developed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The optimum conditions for separation and detection of these 10 alkaloids were achieved on a NAP column, a reversed-phase column with naphthylethyl group-bonded silica packing material, with CH3CN-0.2% aqueous acetic acid as the mobile phase and using mass spectrometry equipped with a positive-mode electrospray ionization source. According to the protocol established, distributions of these 10 alkaloids in the petal, receptacle, and stamen parts, which were separated from the whole flower, were examined. As expected, excellent correlations were observed between the total alkaloid content and melanogenesis inhibitory activity. Among the active alkaloids, nornuciferine (2) was found to give a carbamate salt (2) via formation of an unstable carbamic acid (2) by absorption of carbon dioxide from the air.

    Multiple myeloma (MM) is still an incurable hematological malignancy with a 5-year survival rate of ~35%, despite the use of various treatment options. The nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of MM. Thus, inhibition of the NF-κB pathway is a potential target for the treatment of MM. In a previous study, we showed that mangiferin suppressed the nuclear translocation of NF-κB. However, the treatment of MM involves a combination of two or three drugs. In this study, we examined the effect of the combination of mangiferin and conventional anticancer drugs in an MM cell line. We showed that the combination of mangiferin and an anticancer drug decreased the viability of MM cell lines in comparison with each drug used separately. The decrease in the combination of mangiferin and an anticancer drug induced cell viability was attributed to increase the expression of p53 and Noxa and decreases the expression of XIAP, survivin, and Bcl-xL proteins via inhibition of NF-κB pathway. In addition, the combination treatment caused the induction of apoptosis, activation of caspase-3 and the accumulation of the cells in the sub-G1 phase of the cell cycle. Our findings suggest that the combination of mangiferin and an anticancer drug could be used as a new regime for the treatment of MM.

    Mangiferin is a naturally occurring glucosyl xanthone, which induces apoptosis in various cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanism underlying mangiferin-induced apoptosis has not been clarified thus far. Therefore, we examined the molecular mechanism underlying mangiferin-induced apoptosis in multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines. We found that mangiferin decreased the viability of MM cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner. We also observed an increased number of apoptotic cells, caspase-3 activation, and a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, mangiferin inhibited the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and expression of phosphorylated inhibitor kappa B (IκB) and increased the expression of IκB protein, whereas no changes were observed in the phosphorylation levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase 1/2 (JNK1/2), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). The molecular mechanism responsible for mangiferin-induced inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-κB was a decrease in the expression of phosphorylated NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK). Moreover, mangiferin decreased the expression of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), survivin, and Bcl-xL proteins. Knockdown of NIK expression showed results similar to those observed with mangiferin treatment. Our results suggest that mangiferin induces apoptosis through the inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-κB by suppressing NIK activation in MM cell lines. Our results provide a new insight into the molecular mechanism of mangiferin-induced apoptosis. Importantly, since the number of reported NIK inhibitors is limited, mangiferin, which targets NIK, may be a potential anticancer agent for the treatment of MM.

    A group of 3'-epi-neoponkoranol analogs with different hydrophobic substituents attached at 3'-position of side chain moiety were designed and synthesized in order to further improve the inhibitory activities against alpha-glucosidases. Biological evaluation of these compounds revealed that sulfonium salts attached with ortho-substituted benzyl groups showed best alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activities. The most potent compound 10i showed greater inhibitory activities than all natural products. Moreover, docking studies on 10i with ntMGAM presented a new binding mode, indicating that amino residue Asp542 should be the key interacting point for strong inhibitory activity of small molecules against alpha-glucosidase enzymes. The strongest alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 10i could be rationalized by van der Waals interactions between the 3'-attached substituent and particularly the ortho-substituted trifluoromethyl on benzyl group with the adjacent hydrophobic amino residues. Cytotoxicity evaluation assay demonstrated a high level of safety profile of the synthesized sulfonium salts against normal cell line. The enzyme kinetic studies showed a fully competitive inhibition of these sulfonium salts on each alpha-glucosidase. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

    A protocol for the direct synthesis of azepines using a hafnium(III)-catalyzed [6 + 1]annulation of N-tethered ynenitriles with Reformatsky reagents is reported. A broad range of3-amino-2,7-dihydro-1H-azepine-4-carboxylates 4aa-4he were obtained in high yields and with excellent functional group tolerance. The copper-mediated reactions of isolable Blaise intermediates (enamino esters 3), uniquely underwent 5-endo cyclization to afford the β-2,5-dihydropyrrolyl α,β-unsaturated esters 5aa-5fc, which exhibit anticancer activity.

    Five homologs of a novel glycolipid acremomannolipin A (1a), the potential Ca2+ signal modulator isolated from Acremonium strictum, bearing alditols of different length (1g-1k) were synthesized by a stereoselective beta-mannosylation of appropriately protected mannosyl sulfoxide (2) with five alditols (1g: C2, 1h: C3, 1i: C4, 1j: C5 and 1k: C7 units), and their potential in modulating Ca2+ signaling were evaluated. Homologs with alditols of more than 4 carbons (1i, 1j and 1k) were equally or more potent than the parent compound (1a) regardless of the length of the alditol chain. Whereas activities of two homologs with shorter chains (1g and 1h) decreased to a considerable extent. The results indicated that the length of the alditol side chain was a crucial determinant for the potent calcium signal modulating activity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    The first total Synthesis of the 7,7-dimethylaporphinoid, 4,5-didehydroguadiscine (6), originally isolated from the stems and roots of Hornschuchia oblique (Annonaceae), was achieved by the condensation of homopiperonylamine (7) with an alpha,alpha-dimethylphenylacetic acid derivative (8) and subsequent Pschorr reaction of the resulting benzylisoquinoline intermediate (22). The reported C-13 NMR data were partially revised on the basis of the analysis of HMBC spectra measured under different conditions. The melanogenesis inhibitory activity (IC50 = 4.7 mu M) of 6 was 40 times stronger than that of arbutin (174 mu M), which was used as reference standard. Furthermore, 6 was the most potent natural melanogenesis inhibitor Within this class of compounds.

    The antidiabetic effect of a hot water extract of stems of Salacia chinensis (SCE) was evaluated in vivo in KK-A(y) mice, a typical type 2 diabetes mellitus mice model. Administration of CE-2 dietary feed containing 0.25 and/or 0.50% of SCE for three weeks to KK-A(y) mice significantly suppressed the elevation of both blood glucose and HbA1c levels without significant changes in body weight or food intake. Glucose tolerance was improved by administration to KK-A(y) mice for 27 days of AIN93M purified dietary feed containing 0.12% of SCE. No suppressive effect with respect to HbA1c level was observed when AIN93M/Glc dietary feed in which all digestible glucides were replaced with glucose was administered with SCE. Thus, alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity approved as the mechanism of action of the antidiabetic effect of SCE by in vitro investigation was reconfirmed also in in vivo studies. Evaluation of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the active constituents, salacinol (1), kotalanol (3), and neokotalanol (4), by employing human alpha-glucosidases revealed that these compounds inhibited them as potently (IC50 = 3.9-4.9 mu M for maltase) as they inhibited rat small intestinal alpha-glucosidase. The principal sulfonium constituents (1-4) were highly stable in an artificial gastric juice. In addition, 1-4 were hardly absorbed from the intestine in an experiment using the in situ rat ligated intestinal loop model. The results indicate that these sulfoniums are promising leads for a new type of anti-diabetic agents.

    Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of synovial joints, ultimately leading to a progressive and irreversible joint destruction. Activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) promotes production of proinflammatory cytokines in various inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis. Mangiferin, 1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone-C2-β-D-glucoside (C-glucosyl xanthone), is a naturally occurring polyphenol. Our previous results showed that mangiferin suppressed NF-κB activation. However, it is unclear, whether mangiferin can prevent rheumatoid arthritis through suppression of NF-κB activation and expression of various cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which play a critical role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. In the present study, we found that mangiferin suppressed the progression and incidence of CIA in DBA1/J mice. In CIA mice, mangiferin inhibited the mRNA expression of cytokine genes in thymus and spleen of CIA mie and led to decreased serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and receptor activator NF-κB ligand (RANKL) via inhibition of NF-κB and activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). In addition, mangiferin markedly inhibited not only developing but also clinically evident CIA. These findings suggest that mangiferin has potential clinical applications for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

    IntroductionStems and roots of Salacia genus plants have been used in Ayurveda as a specific remedy for early stage diabetes. Previous investigations identified four sulphonium sulphates, that is, salacinol (1), kotalanol (3), ponkoranol (5) and salaprinol (7), as the compounds responsible for the anti-diabetic activity. Their desulphonates (2, 4, 6 and 8) were also isolated as active constituents. Two separate quantitative analytical protocols, that is, for 1 and 3 and for 2 and 4, have been developed recently. ObjectiveTo: validate the two analytical protocols with respect to all eight sulphoniums; evaluate the quality of a variety of Salacia samples collected in different geographical regions, that is, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India; and determine their distribution in each part of the plant, that is, stems/roots, leaves and fruits. MethodsAnalyses of four sulphonium sulphates in 32 Salacia extracts were carried out on an Asahipak NH2P-50 column, and those of the corresponding desulphonates were conducted on an Inertsil ODS-3 column. ResultsNeokotalanol (4) was the major constituent in Salacia samples from Thailand, whereas 1 was the primary constituent in extracts of the stems/roots of plants from Sri Lanka and India. These sulphoniums were only present in trace amounts in leaves and fruits of the plants. ConclusionTwo analytical protocols were successfully applied to analyse 32 Salacia samples, and revealed that sulphoniums (1-8) had characteristic distributions due to the plant part and/or due to geographical region. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Using the recently developed two analytical protocols, the distributions of eight sulphoniums (1-8) responsible for the anti-diabetic activity of Salacia, a specific remedy for the treatment of early stage diabetes in Ayurveda, were examined in 32 extracts of Salacia samples collected in Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. The distribution of these sulphoniums in the different plant parts was also examined. Each constituent had characteristic distributions in the different plant parts and different geographical regions.

    A novel synthetic approach to construct various 3,6-anhydrohexosides via an intramolecular cyclization of corresponding triflates is described. The nucleophilic attack from C3 p-methoxybenzylated hydroxyl to C6 trifluoromethanesulfonate on triflate structures triggered the cyclization reaction to provide 3,6-anhydrohexosides in excellent yields, making the strategy more efficient with respect to the reported protocols. By applying this methodology, a concise first total synthesis of natural product isolated from leaves of Sauropus rostratus was accomplished.

    Five alditol analogs 1b-1f of a novel glycolipid acremomannolipin A (1a), the potential Ca2+ signal modulator isolated from Acremonium strictum, were synthesized by employing a stereoselective beta-mannosylation of appropriately protected mannose with five hexitols with different stereochemistry, and their potential on modulating Ca2+ signaling were evaluated. All these analogs were more potent compared to the original compound 1a, and proved that mannitol stereochemistry of 1a was not critical for the potent calcium signal modulating.

    A practical synthesis of neoponkoranol and its related sulfonium salt as potent a-glucosidase inhibitors has been developed in which the key step of coupling reaction was optimised by using isopropylidene as an effective protecting group. The characteristic intramolecular cyclisation of the coupling precursor previously encountered as a side reaction has not been detected and coupling yields were dramatically improved in the present study.

    Neokotalanol, a potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from Salacia reticulata, was synthesized through a key coupling reaction between a perbenzylated thiosugar and an appropriately protected perseitol triflate derived from D-mannose. This key step was found to be quite temperature dependent, and a simultaneous cyclization of the triflate leading to a characteristic 2,4,7-trioxabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane system was detected.

    Clostridium scindens American Type Culture Collection 35704 is capable of converting primary bile acids to toxic secondary bile acids, as well as converting glucocorticoids to androgens by side-chain cleavage. The molecular structure of the side-chain cleavage product of cortisol produced by C. scindens was determined to be 11 beta-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (11 beta-OHA) by high-resolution mass spectrometry, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Using RNA-Seq technology, we identified a cortisol-inducible (similar to 1,000-fold) operon (des ABCD) encoding at least one enzyme involved in anaerobic side-chain cleavage. The des C gene was cloned, overexpressed, purified, and found to encode a 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSDH). This operon also encodes a putative "transketolase" (des AB) hypothesized to have steroid-17,20-desmolase/oxidase activity, and a possible corticosteroid transporter (des D). RNA-Seq data suggests that the two-carbon side chain of glucocorticords may feed into the pentose-phosphate pathway and are used as a carbon source. The 20 alpha-HSDH is hypothesized to function as a metabolic "rheostat" controlling rates of side-chain cleavage. Phylogenetic analysis suggests this operon is rare in nature and the des C gene evolved from a gene encoding threonine dehydrogenase.jlr The physiological effect of 11 beta-OHAD on the host or other gut microbes is currently unknown.

    Methanolic extracts from the flower buds and leaves of sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera, Nymphaeaceae) were found to show inhibitory effects on melanogenesis in theophylline-stimulated murine B16 melanoma 4A5 cells. From the methanolic extracts, a new alkaloid, N-methylasimilobine N-oxide, was isolated together with eleven benzylisoquinoline alkaloids. The absolute stereostructure of the new alkaloid was determined from chemical and physicochemical evidence. Among the constituents isolated, nuciferine, N-methylasimilobine, (-)-lirinidine, and 2-hydroxy-1-methoxy-6a, 7-dehydroaporphine showed potent inhibition of melanogenesis. Comparison of the inhibitory activities of synthetic related alkaloids facilitated characterization of the structure-activity relationships of aporphine-and benzylisoquinoline-type alkaloids. In addition, 3-30 mu M nuciferine and N-methylasimilobine inhibited the expression of tyrosinase mRNA, 3-30 mu M N-methylasimilobine inhibited the expression of TRP-1 mRNA, and 10-30 mu M nuciferine inhibited the expression of TRP-2 mRNA.

    In this paper, molecular activation of sulfur functional groups, including the 7-sulfur-stabilization effect on propargyl cations generated from the corresponding alcohols and sulfur-activated cyclizations of oxygen- and nitrogen-tethered 1,6-diynes triggered by some useful transformations, is described. With respect to propargylation, Lewis acid-catalyzed C-C, C-O and C-N bond formations in nitromethane or nitromethane - H2O have been developed. Moreover, C-N bond formation for the synthesis of pyrazoles via intra- and intermolecular cyclizations is investigated. Thioamides underwent cycloaddition with allenyl cation intermediates, while this reaction did not occur with propargyl cations. In sulfur-activated cyclizations, nucleophile-triggered cyclization provided alkoxymethyl-, aryloxymethylfurans and tanshinon derivatives. Furthermore, the alkynylation- and amination-triggered cyclizations of 1,6-diynes are also described.

    Salacinol was isolated as the first naturally occurring sulfonium type α-glucosidase inhibitor from Salacia reticulata, a large woody, climbing plant widely distributed in Sri Lanka and South India, in 1997. This compound presents a quite unique zwitterionic sulfonium sulfate structure and its α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (in vitro) was revealed to be as potent as those of anti-diabetics used in clinic. Since then, great efforts have been made to discover other bioactive ingredients as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors from the same genus of plants, which directly led to the identification of several side chain analogs of salacinol such as kotalanol, salaprinol and ponkoranol together with their de-Osulfonated analogs. In the mean time, much attention has been focused on the total syntheses, structure activity relationship (SAR) studies on this group of natural products in order to design molecules with improved activities. Thus, as a possible result of present findings, this class of natural products has the potential to become lead compounds with potent α- glucosidase inhibitory activities, which could be further developed to a new class of hypoglycemic drug candidates. The present review was developed as a summary of the recent researches of total synthesis and SAR of this series of natural products. In addition, several important structural determinants including the most recent discoveries on SAR are summarized, which may provide new insights into the development of novel anti-diabetic agents. © 2013 Bentham Science Publishers.

    To examine the role of the side chain of kotalanol (2), a potent natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from Salacia reticulata, on inhibitory activity, four diastereomers (11a-11d) with reversed configuration (S) at the C-4' position in the side chain were synthesized and evaluated. Two of the four (11b and 11d) significantly lost their inhibitory activity against both maltase and sucrase, while the other two (11a and 11c) sustained the inhibitory activity to a considerable extent, showing distinct activity in response to the change of stereochemistry of the hydroxyls at the 5' and 6' positions. Different activities were rationalized with reference to in silico docking studies on these inhibitors with hNtMGAM. Against isomaltase, all four analogs showed potent inhibitory activity as well as 2, and 11b and 11d exhibited enzyme selectivity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    We have reported sodium alkoxide- or aryloxide-mediated cyclization of 4-oxahepta-1,6-diynes bearing the phenylsulfanyl group 1a-d. The reactions with diverse sodium alkoxides and aryloxide produced 4-alkoxymethyl- and 4-aryloxymethylfurans 2aa-2db in good to high yields. Although reactions with sodium benzenethiolate yielded 3,4-bis(phenylsulfanylmethyl)furans 5a-g, they readily desulfanylated in the presence of tributyltin hydride/AIBN to give the 3-methyl- and 3,4-dimethylfuran derivatives 6a-g. This method's utility was demonstrated by the synthesis of tetrahydronaphthalenyl furan derivatives bearing alkoxy- and aryloxymethyl substituents. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    To develop more potent α-glucosidase inhibitors whose seed-compound is salacinol (1), a potent natural α-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from Salacia reticulata of Ayurvedic traditional medicine, a series of 3'-O-benzylated analogs of 1 were designed with the aid of in silico method. Intensive docking studies proposed several promising compounds. To verify the computational SAR assessments, designed derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in vitro. Their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities against rat intestinal α-glucosidases were so potent as were expected by the docking studies, and all the compounds showed superior inhibitory activities to the original sulfonium sulfate (1). Among the sulfonium salts designed, one with 3'-O-(ortho-nitrobenzyl) moiety (8k) was found to be the most potent, and ca. forty times as potent as 1, the compound being the strongest inhibitor among the sulfonium type inhibitors synthesized so far.

    Four analogs with 3'-O-alkyl groups (9a: CH(3), 9b: C(2)H(5), 9c: C(13)H(27) or 9d: CH(2)Ph) instead of the 3'-O-sulfate anion in salacinol (1), a naturally occurring potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, were synthesized by the coupling reaction of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-epithio-D-arabinitols (18a and 18b) with appropriate epoxides (10a-10d). These analogs showed equal or considerably higher inhibitory activity against rat small intestinal alpha-glucosidases than the original sulfate (1), and one of them (9d) was found more potent than currently used alpha-glucosidase inhibitors as antidiabetics. Thus, introduction of a hydrophobic moiety at the C3' position of this new class of inhibitor was found beneficial for onset of stronger inhibition against these enzymes. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

    Synthesis and evaluation of four diastereomers (9a, 9b, 9c and 9d) of kotalanol, a potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from an Ayurvedic medicinal plant Salacia species, are described. Stereo-inversion at C-3' and C-4' of kotalanol (2) caused significant decrease of the inhibitory activities against maltase and sucrase, whereas inhibitory activity against isomaltase sustained, thus resulted in exerting selectivity against isomaltase.

    Two hitherto missing members of sulfonium salts family in Salacia genus plants as a new class of a-glucosidase inhibitors, neoponkoranol (7) and neosalaprinol (8), were isolated from the water extracts, and their structures were unambiguously identified. For further SAR studies on this series of sulfonium salts, several epimers of 7 and 8 were synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against rat small intestinal alpha-glucosidases were evaluated. Among them, 3'-epimer of 7 was found most potent in this class of molecules, and revealed as potent as currently used antidiabetics, voglibose and acarbose. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

    Salacinol is a potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from Salacia reticulata, and a good lead compound for an antidiabetic drug. It is essential to clarify the binding state of salacinol to alpha-glucosidase for efficient optimization study using structure-based drug design. Redocking simulations of two inhibitors, acarbose and casuarine whose complex structures are known, were performed to assure the appropriate docking pose prediction. The simulation reproduced both experimental binding states with accuracy. Then, using the same simulation protocol, the binding mode of salacinol and its derivatives has been predicted. Salacinol bound to the protein with a similar binding mode as casuarine, and the predicted structures could explain most of the structure-activity relationships of salacinol derivatives.

    De-O-sulfonated analogs (10a, Y- = CH(3)QSO(3) and 10b, Y- = Cl) of salacinol, a naturally occurring glycosidase inhibitor, and its diastereomer (12a, Y- = CH3OSO3) With L-thiosugar moiety (1,4-dideoxy- 1,4-epithio-L-arabinitol) were prepared. Their inhibitory activities against intestinal maltase and sucrase were examined and compared with those of the parent alpha-glycosidase inhibitor, salacinol (1a). Compounds 10a and 10b showed a potent inhibitory activity equal to that of la against both enzymes, although 12a was a weak inhibitor against sucrase and maltase. These results indicated that the O-sulfonate anion moiety of 1a is not essential for the inhibitory activity. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Kotalanol (1) and salacinol (2) are potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitors isolated from methanol extract of an antidiabetic Ayurvedic traditional medicine, Salacia reticulata. Although 1 is more active against certain glycosidase enzymes than 2, no synthetic trial of 1 has been reported because of the unidentified absolute stereochemistry of the heptitol unit. Herein reported are synthetic study on 1 and evaluation of the inhibitory activities of four synthesized diastereomers 1a-1d, which maintained 2'S and 3'S configuration of 2 in addition to 4'S configuration as common side chain feature. All the analogs showed less inhibitory activity against sucrase and maltase compared to 1, and the results indicated that the 4'S configuration was essential for the inhibitory activity. Newly developed quantitative analytical method of 1 and 2 in the extract of several Salacia species by LC-MS to evaluate the quality of the Salacia extract is also presented.

    We are reporting on a new method of constructing dearomatized compounds from alpha-substituted aryltriazenes. Deprotonation occurs at C atom alpha to N3. Nucleophilic attack of generated anion at the ortho-position of aryl group forms a new carbon-carbon bond. A stereoselective reaction was observed when the substituents on the C alpha to N3 are tied together in either a pyrrolidine or a piperidine. The product of this reaction possessed an interesting dearomatized tetrahydrobenzotriazine framework. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Aim: To investigate more efficient synthetic method of the nitrogen analogue 4 of salacinol (1) for searching new antidiabetic agents. Methods: The synthesis of the key intermediate 2,4-O-isopropylidene-L-erythritol 1,3-cyclic sulfate (2a) was accomplished by modification of reports from D-glucose via seven steps in much more less expensive. Using this method, an efficient synthesis of 4 was carried out. The glycosidase inhibitory activity of 4 was tested for the intestinal α-glucosidase in vitro and compared with that of salacinol. Results: A nitrogen analogue 4 of salacinol (1) was synthesized by the coupling reaction between the cyclic sulfate 2a and an azasugar 3b. Conclusion: Substitution of the sulfur atom in 1 with a nitrogen reduced the activity considerably.

    Reactions between chiral 3-cinnamoyl-4-methyl-5-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidine-2-thiones and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of BF3 center dot Et2O diastereoselectively produced tricyclic compounds incorporating a bridgehead carbon bound to four heteroatoms in high yields. Four stereocenters were induced during the reaction. The tricyclic products were transformed into propane-1,3-diols bearing three consecutive stereocenters by acid hydrolysis, S-methylation, and reductive removal of the chiral auxiliary.

    Three analogs (5, 6, and 7) lacking polar substituents in the side chain of a naturally occurring a-glucosidase inhibitor, salacinol (la), were synthesized by the coupling reaction of a thiosugar, 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-epithio-D-arabinitol (3), with cyclic sulfates (8, 9, and 10), and their a-glucosidase inhibitory activities were examined. All these simpler analogs (5, 6, and 7) showed less inhibitory activity compared to la, and proved the importance of cooperative role of the polar substituents for the a-glucosidase inhibitory activity. A practical synthetic route to 3 starting from D-xylose is also described. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    In the course of our studies on antidiabetogenic compounds from natural medicines and medicinal foodstuffs, we found that the extracts from the roots and stems of Salacia reticulata, S. oblonga, and S. chinensis showed substantial inhibitory effects on increase in serum glucose levels in oral sucrose- and maltose-loaded rats and inhibitory effects on intestinal α-glucosidase. Through bioassay-guided separation using α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, we isolated α-glucosidase inhibitors named salacinol and kotalanol with unique chemical structures from the active fractions together with several known phenolic compounds, new sesquiterpenes (salasols A and B) and triterpenes (kotalagenin 16-acetate, salasones A-E, salaquinones A and B). Furthermore, S. reticulata and its phenolic constituents were found to exhibit pancreatic lipase inhibitory and anti-obese effects. This paper summarizes our recent studies including the synthetic and structure-activity relationships on antidiabetogenic principles of Salacia species. In addition, clinical studies and safety evaluations of the extracts from S. reticulata and S. oblonga are summarized.

    Bu3SnH-mediated radical cyclizations of 2-(2-bromophenyl)N-ethenylacetamide gave 6-exo cyclization product 15 as the major product, whereas N-[2-(2-bromophenyl)ethyl]-N-ethenylamides gave almost exclusively 7-endo cyclization products. These results indicated that the position of the carbonyl group on enamide played an important role in deciding the course of the cyclization. The 7-endo selective cyclization was applied to concise construction of a cephalotaxine skeleton.

    5-(Phenylselenenyl)- and 5-(phenylsulfenyl)-4-ethoxy-1-phenyl-2,4-pentadien-1-ones (2) and (3) underwent [4+2] cycloaddition with N-methyl and N-phenylmaleimides and successive isomerization to give the 7-benzoyl-3a,4,5,7a-tetrahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-diones 5, 8 and 9 in good yields. The 4-ethoxy group on the 2,4-pentadien-1-one was found to be effective to facilitate the cycloaddition with dienophiles. We also performed other [4+2] cycloadditions of 2,4-pentadien-1-ones with DMAD or naphthoquinone.

    A most potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor named salacinol has been isolated from an antidiabetic Ayurvedic traditional medicine. Salacia reticulata WIGHT, through bioassay-guided separation. The absolute stereostructure of salacinol was determined on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence, which included the alkaline degradation of salacinol to 1-deoxy-4-thio-D-arabinofuranose and the X-ray crystallographic analysis, to be the unique spiro-like configuration of the inner salt comprised of 1-deoxy-4-thio-D-arabinofuranosyl sulfonium cation and 1'-deoxy-D-erythrosyl-3'-sulfate anion. Salacinol showed potent inhibitory activities on several alpha-glucosidases, such as maltase, sucrase, and isomaltase, and the inhibitory effects on serum glucose levels in maltose- and sucrose-loaded rats (in vivo) were found to be more potent than that of acarbose, a commercial alpha-glucosidase inhibitor.

    The effects of a series of fatty acids on the percutaneous penetration of ozagrel (OZ), a selective thromboxane A(2) synthetase inhibitor, through rat skin and the mechanism by which fatty acids enhance the skin penetration of OZ were examined in vitro. Lauric acid, at the fatty acid:OZ molar ratio of 2:1, was the most potent agent as far as increasing the skin penetration was concerned,,vith a flux 24-fold higher than that without fatty acid. A molar ratio of 3:1 also produced a large enhancing effect, comparable with that of a molar ratio of 2:1, When the gel formulation with lauric acid (molar ratio of 2: 1) was applied to the skin for 6 h, the amount of drug penetrating into the skin was significantly increased compared with that after the formulations without lauric acid and with capric and palmitic acids. However Lauric acid did not change the apparent partition coefficient of OZ between n-heptane and phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), The C-13-NMR spectra of OZ was also unaffected by the addition of lauric acid, indicating that a complex or ion pair with lauric acid was not formed, A possible mechanism for the enhancing effect is the increased incorporation of lauric acid with OZ into the bulk lipid phase of the stratum corneum, where the fatty acid would act as a co-penetrant enhancing passage through the stratum corneum.

    alpha-Amino acid thioesters were synthesized by the Pummerer reaction of 3-substituted-4-sulfinyl-beta-sultams with TFAA. The 3-substituted-4-sulfinyl-beta-sultams were prepared from the corresponding beta-sultams by sulfenylation with diphenyl disulfide followed by m-CPBA oxidation. Diastereoselective synthesis of beta-sultams by 1,3-asymmetric induction in [2 + 2] cycloaddition of a sulfene intermediate and chiral imines in solution-phase was studied, and it was found that N-alkylimines gave better diastereoselectivities than N-aralkylimines. The use of imines derived from (R)- and (S)-alpha-methylbenzylamine followed by separation of the major and minor diastereomers gave enantiopure 3-substituted-N-methylbenzyl-beta-sultams. These beta-sultams were then converted to N-methylbenzyl-alpha-amino acid thioesters via sulfenylation and Pummerer rearrangement with high or complete retention of configuration.

    To improve the absorbability of phenytoin (DPH), a prodrug, N-acetyl-DPH (EDPH), was synthesized, and the absorptive characteristics and pharmacokinetics of the prodrug were evaluated in rats. EDPH was rapidly hydrolyzed to DPH in the intestinal fluid and the mucosa (rate constant, 0.055 and 0.169 min(-1), respectively). The plasma concentrations of DPH after intravenous dosing of EDPH declined in a biexponential manner, although two different elimination patterns were observed in these rats. When dosed orally (25 mg/kg, DPH equivalent), the plasma levels of DPH converted from the prodrug were significantly higher and more sustained than those after DPH alone, giving bioavailability 11.4 (rapid decay) and 9.1 times (slow decay) as high, respectively, as that after DPH alone. The concentrations of DPH distributed into the mucosa of the duodenum and jejunum 1 and 5 h after oral dosing of EDPH were significantly higher than those after DPH alone. The prodrug and DPH converted from the prodrug dissolved 2-4 fold more than DPH alone in bile salt solution and bile salt-oleic acid mixed micelles, indicating the increased solubility of the prodrug in the intestinal fluid. It is concluded from the data that such high solubility of EDPH enhanced the intestinal absorption of the prodrug, part of which would be absorbed in the amide form, and thus gave the high bioavailability.

    Selective C-S bond cleavage of a beta-sultam ring was achieved by the reactions with Lewis acids. Aryl ketones or aldehyde were provided from 3-aryl-beta-sultams whereas beta-sultams bearing a poorly migratory substituent at C-3 gave trans-1,2,3-oxathiazolidine 2-oxides and/or cis-aziridines. These reactions were influenced by the cation-stabilizing capability of C-4 substituents and by the configuration of the substituents at C-3 and C-4. Some 4-alkenyl-3-aryl-beta-sultams underwent tandem intramolecular cyclization to give bicyclo[3.2.1]- and [2.2.1]-gamma-sultams via the processes of C-S bond cleavage, 1,2-aryl shift, cation-olefin cyclization and recombination of the sulfonyl anion.

    To improve the oral absorbability of phenytoin (DPH), prodrugs of DPH with a small acyl substituent, N-carboethoxy- and N-carboisopropoxy-DPH (PT-1 and PT-2, respectively), were synthesized and bioavailabilities of them were evaluated after oral administration in rats, compared to that of DPH dosed. The prodrugs were rapidly hydrolyzed in the intestinal fluid, intestinal mucosa, liver homogenates and plasma of rats, the plasma giving the highest hydrolytic activity. Two different eliminations of DPH, slow and rapid, were observed after intravenous and oral administrations of prodrugs. The bioavailabilities of DPH after oral administration at a dose of 25 mg/kg of PT-1 and PT-2 (DPH equivalent), increased to approximately 8.5- and 6.0-fold for PT-1 and PT-2 (rapid elimination group) or 3.0- and 3.0-fold (slow elimination group), respectively, compared to those after dosing of DPH. The plasma levels of DPH converted from PT-2 dosed were lower, but more sustained in slow elimination groups than those from PT-1. The normalized AUC values after oral dosing of prodrugs at a dose of 50 mg/kg were increased dramatically, compared to those at a dose of 25 mg/kg, suggesting non-linear clearance at a high dose. In order to clarify the mechanism for preponderance of intestinal absorption of the prodrugs, concentrations of parent drug and prodrug were measured in intestinal mucosa after a single oral dosing of 50 mg/kg (DPH equivalent). Upon the administration of PT-I and PT-2, greater amounts of DPH, in comparison with those after dosing of DPH, and small amounts of intact prodrugs were detected in the duodenal and jejunal mucosa. These data indicated that these prodrugs was subjected to the extensive intestinal absorption compared to DPH, giving comparatively high plasma levels. Therefore, PT-1 and PT-2 will be useful prodrugs as an orally applicable form. In particular, PT-2 seems to serve as a benign prodrug with the intention of improving the absorption of DPH.

    Photoirradiation of cis-and trans-4,7-diphenyl-1,3,4,7-tetrahydroisobenzofuran-1-one cis-and trans-14 and its 4-methyl analogues cis-and trans-15 afford the corresponding di-pi-methane rearrangement products 27, 28 and 24 in moderate yields. MM2 calculations for the cis-and trans-4,7-diphenyl substrates cis-and trans-14 showed that the planar structure is most stable for both compounds and that the molecular energy difference between the planar structure and the boat conformation is small enough for a boat-planar-boat conversion. On the basis of the calculations, the di-pi-methane rearrangement of the compounds 14 and 15 is supposed to proceed via the boat conformation with a pseudoaxial phenyl substituent. An X-ray structure determination of the two diphenyl substrates cis-and trans-14 provides strong support for the validity of the calculations in predicting optimum structures for cis-and trans-disubstituted tetrahydroisobenzofuranone.

    The photoreactivity of two variations of the di-pi-methane system involving the tetrahydro- and hexahydro-isobenzofuran structures 10 and 11 have been examined and compared with those of beta-apolignans 1. The former, 9-phenyl-1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9-octahydronaphtho[2,3-c]furan-1-one 10a and 7-phenyl-1,3,4,7-tetrahydroisobenzofuran-1-one 10b, gave primarily the di-pi-methane rearrangement products 18a and 18b, respectively, while the hexahydro substrate, 7-phenyl-1, 3,4,5,6,7-hexahydroisobenzofuran-1-one 11, afforded mainly the photoreduced products 21-24. This difference in chemoselectivity is explained in terms of the variant configuration of the phenyl group, an axially orientated one migrating most effectively. A new pathway for the reaction leading to the cyclopropano product 18a or 18b, by way of another cyclopropano derivative 19a or 19b, respectively, is described.

    Tricyclic benzothiazinium salts 3 are prepared by [2(+)+4] polar cycloaddition of thionium intermediates 2A, generated from the corresponding alpha-chloro sulfides 2, and dienes in the presence of silver perchlorate. Ring transformation of benzothiazinium salts 3 with a reducing agent such as Mg, NaBH4 and Zn-AcOH or with a base, furnishes spiro-vinylcyclopropane derivatives 4 in moderate to high yields. Electrolysis of 3a at -1.4 V vs. SCE in acetonitrile also affords vinylcyclopropane 4a (60%). These results indicate that both ionic and radical mechanisms may account for the vinylcyclopropane formation, although it is unclear as to the nature of the radical intermediate. The stereochemistry of 4a was determined by X-ray analysis showing that sulfur and the vinyl group are cis-orientated. Ten-membered lactam sulfides 6 are obtained as the major product of SmI2 reduction of 3.

    The second mode of the Huisgen-White rearrangement of the bicyclic lactam, (-)-2-ethyl-4-oxo-3,10-diazabicyclo[4.3.1]decane (-)-13, leading to cis-[6-(prop-1-enyl)piperidin-2-yl]acetic acid (-)-9a under alkaline conditions is described. A reasonable reaction mechanism accounting for the preferable formation of the (E)-propenyl isomer (E)-9a is presented. Conversions of the olefinic acid 9a into two piperidine alkaloids (+)-pinidine (+)-10 and (-)-dihydropinidine (-)-21, and (-)-cis-2-formyl-6-methylpiperidine (-)-22, a key synthetic intermediate for an ants' trail pheromone (+)-monomorine I (+)-11, are also described.

    In order to develop a potential prodrug of indomethacin (IM) which causes less irritation to the gastrointestinal mucosa, the ester prodrugs [butyl ester (IM-BE) and octyl ester (IM-OE)] of IM were synthesized and evaluated for their ulcerogenic activity and hepatic injury after oral administration in rats. Additionally, the kinetics of hydrolysis of the prodrugs,were examined to characterize the tissues or organs capable of hydrolyzing the ester bonds. The plasma levels of IM after the oral administration of IM-OE and IM-BE were comparatively low compared with those after IM, with a small bioavailability (2.1 and 15.0%, respectively). Ulcerogenic activity and hepatic injury, expressed by decreased hepatic microsomal enzyme activities, were hardly seen after repeated oral administration of the prodrugs, in contrast with the severely irritating effects of IM alone. Hydrolysis of the prodrugs was adequately described by first-order kinetics. IM-BE was relatively rapidly hydrolyzed in plasma, skin and whole blood, but the hydrolysis in the intestinal mucosa and liver was very slow. The hydrolytic rates for IM-OE were exceedingly small or negligible. These results indicate that the main part of IM-BE and IM-OE administered orally might not be hydrolyzed to IM in the gastrointestinal tract, and that the ester prodrugs themselves were absorbed through the mucosa; also, that the hydrolysis of ester bonds would be carried out mainly in the circulatory system. Consequently, IM-BE seems to be an ideal prodrug of IM.

    Facile enantioselective syntheses of the di-O-methyl ethers of the norlignans, (-)-agatharesinol (-)-1a, (+)-hinokiresinol (+)-2a and (-)-sugiresinol (-)-3a are described. Grignard addition of vinylmagnesium bromide to an aldimine (-)-13, prepared from the tert-butyl ester 11 and 4-methoxycinnamaldehyde 12, afforded a homochiral vinyl aldehyde, (-)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)pent-4-enal (-)-14 in >95% ee, which was converted into a diastereoisomeric mixture of 1,3-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)pent-4-enal-ols (3R)-6 by a second Grignard reaction with 4-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide. Sharpless' asymmetric dihydroxylation of the vinyl alcohols (3R)-6 proceeded diastereoselectively to give the triol of desired relative stereochemistry (2S,3S)-7. This, upon dehydration, afforded (-)-di-O-methylsugiresinol (-)-3b, the subsequent acid-catalysed cyclization of which gave (-)-di-O-methyl agatharesinol (-)-1b, (+)-Di-O-methylhinokiresinol (+)-2b was readily obtained by the dehydration of the vinyl alcohols (3R)-6.

    The effect of the 'central methane' substitution on the di-pi-methane rearrangement in 4-benzyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ones 8a-d was investigated. Significant enhancement of efficiency in the rearrangement leading in high combined yields to two isomeric products, endo-12, is discussed in terms of both the substituent effects at the benzylic carbon and the restrained features of the ring-enrolled pi-system. The origin of the difference in chemoselectivity compared with that of the 3-benzyl counterpart 5 where a photoarylated product 6 resulted upon photoirradiation was also investigated, and was rationalized by postulating a higher reactivity at the beta-position of the enone system.

    The photo-reaction of 9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one (2) was investigated. Upon irradiation in methanol, the ketone (2) predominantly gave the methanol adduct, 3-hydroxymethyl-9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-ol (3), accompanied with photo-reduced products, exo- and endo-9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-ol (4 and 5). Irradiation in water resulted in Norrish type I cleavage to give directly (cis-6-methyltetrahydropyran-2-yl)acetic acid (1), a constituent of civet, in moderate yield.

    To further clarify the pharmacokinetic characteristics of phenytoin (DPH) and its derivatives, DPH-1-methylnicotininate (MNDPH), valeroyl DPH (VADPH) and valproyl DPH (VPDPH), in plasma and brain, we have investigated their physicochemical properties and protein binding characteristics. Additionally, the hydrolytic conversion of these derivatives to DPH was also studied using small intestine, liver and brain tissues, as well as rat plasma. The log partition coefficient (PC) values of all derivatives were much higher than that of DPH. Judging from their pK(a) values (5.68 and 5.91 for VADPH and VPDPH, respectively) and pH-solubilities, VADPH and VPDPH were acidic compounds, while MNDPH was basic. These data indicated that most fractions of VADPH and VPDPH existed as an ionized form (these fractions existed in an ionized form, 0.98 and 0.97, respectively) at physiological pH, whereas MNDPH existed as a unionized form under the same conditions. Rosenthal or Scatchard plots of the binding data of DPH and its derivatives to both rat plasma protein and bovine serum albumin (BSA) exhibited straight lines over their concentration ranges used, indicating that DPH and its derivatives have a single binding site on the protein. The binding potencies (K or n.P-1 value) of the derivatives to both proteins were much greater than that of DPH. No DPH produced from VADPH and VPDPH was found in the biological fluids over a period of 24h. However, the hydrolysis of MNDPH to DPH was observed in plasma and the tissues used, with the most rapid hydrolysis in the small intestine, and the hydrolysis rate constant in plasma was ca. 20-fold greater than that in the brain. The present results lead us to propose that the low uptake of VADPH and VPDPH into the brain, as well as their rapid elimination from plasma is mainly ascribed to both the high protein binding and the large dissociation of derivatives in the plasma, compared with that of DPH.

    The effect of substitution at the 'central methane' on the photoreactivity of 3-benzylfuran-2(5H)ones 5a-g was investigated. Despite its di-pi-methane structure, photochemical arylation was effected to give substituted indenofuranones 6 in good yields. Only the substitution by phenyl caused the di-pi-methane rearrangement to give a cyclopropanofuranone 18g in moderate yield.

    The derivatives of phenytoin (DPH) were synthesized by the reaction at 3 position of hydantoin ring with valproic acid and valeric acid, producing valproyl DPH (VPDPH) and valeroyl DPH (VADPH), respectively. These derivatives showed much higher lipid solubilities than that of DPH. Their distribution and elimination were compared to those of DPH. Additionally, the concentration profiles of the drugs in brain and plasma were analyzed with a modified 2-compartment model. DPH and its derivatives, without hydrolysis to DPH in blood, were found rapidly distributed into brain, although the distribution of derivatives was much less, probably due to the high protein binding capacities. The distribution of DPH and its derivatives into brain regions was similar to that into the cortex cerebri. VPDPH and VADPH were more rapidly eliminated from plasma and brain than DPH, giving smaller mean residence time (MRT) values (0.92 and 0.85 h) and much smaller cortex/plasma concentration ratio than those of DPH. The VPDPH and VADPH concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were also much lower than that of DPH. The time course of plasma and brain concentrations of DPH and its derivatives after i.v. administration was successfully described by the modified 2-compartment models presented.

    杉浦が独自の創薬探索手法により発見したERK MAPKシグナル調節剤である<ACA-28>は、ERK活性依存的細胞死を、がん細胞選択的に誘導することにより、抗腫瘍効果を発揮する。本研究の目的は「ACA-28は、いかなる分子を標的として、ERK MAPKを活性化するのか?」「ACA-28を介するがん細胞選択的な増殖抑制メカニズムは?」という問いを明らかにすることにより、<ERK依存的細胞死>に関わる細胞内シグナル伝達経路を浮き彫りにすることである。今年度は、ACA-28およびそのリード化合物であるGT-7が各種のRas変異を有する膵臓がんに対して細胞死を誘導できることを証明した。特にKRasQ61H変異を有する膵臓がん細胞であるT3M4に対して、ERK依存的細胞死を誘導できることを世界で初めて証明した。一方、KRasG12V変異を有するPANC-1細胞はGT-7依存的な細胞死に抵抗性を示すこと、AKTの活性化がGT-7依存的な細胞死抵抗性のメカニズムであることも証明した。本研究により、KRAS変異を有する膵臓がん細胞に対してGT-7は有効なERK依存的細胞死を誘導するとともに、GT-7とAKT阻害剤の併用が膵臓がんの新たな治療戦略となりうることも明らかになった。ACA-28およびGT-7の標的分子に関しては、ACA-28にビオチン修飾を行った標識化合物を合成し、プルダウン実験と質量分析の手法によりACA-28結合タンパク質を複数同定した。また、リン酸化プロテオミクスの手法を用いてACA-28の標的候補因子群を同定している。現在これらの分子とACA-28の結合やACA-28依存的リン酸化のvalidationを行うとともに、これらの標的候補分子のノックダウンがACA-28あるいはGT-7依存的な細胞死に与える影響を解析している段階である。

    Salacinol (1)is a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from the aqueous extracts of the roots and stems of Salacia reticulata WIGHT (known as Kotala himbutu in Singhalese), which is traditionally used in Sri Lanka and India for the treatment of diabetes. Its unique spiro-like structure of the inner salt comprised of 1-deoxy-4-thioarabinofuranosyl cation and 1'-deoxyerythrosyl-3'-sulfate anion was revealed by the authors on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidences including the X-ray crystallographic analysis. In this study, three analogs (2,3,4)lacking hydroxyl and/or hydroxymethyl groups of the side chain of 1 and O-Desulfonated salacinol (5)were synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase examined. Compounds 2,3,4 were synthesized by applying the ring-opening method of the cyclic sulfate with 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-epithio-D-arabinitol (6a). The cyclic sulfates, 1,3-propanediol 1,3-cyclic sulfate (7),2-O-benzylglycerol 1,3-cyclic sulfate (8)and 4-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-2-deoxy-L-erythtitol 1,3-cyclic sulfate (9),used for the side chain of the analogs 2, 3, 4, were derived from 1,3-propanediol, glycerin and D-glucose in good yield, respectively. Coupling reaction of 7 with 6a gave the desired 2 in 61% yield. Deprotection of coupled products obtained from 7 and 8 in a manner similar to that used for 6a gave 3 and 4 in good yield. On the other hand, acidic methanolysis of 1 gave 5 in quantitatively yield. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of them were examined for the intestinal α-glucosidase in vitro. Three simpler analogs (2,3,4) showed less inhibitory activity compared to 1, and proved the importance of cooperative role of the polar substituents to exhibit the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. On the other hand, O-desulfonated analogue 5 showed a potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity equal to that of 1, and the sulfate anion moiety of 1 was found to be not essential for the inhibitory activity. Compound 5 was also alternatively synthesized by the use of coupling reaction of epoxide, (2R,3S)-1,2-epoxy- 3,4-bis(benzyloxy)butane (10), easily obtaine from D-isoascorbic acid, with O-benzylated thiosugar 6b. Hydrogenolysis of the coupled product gave 5 in good yield.

    Salacinol (1) is a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from the aqueous extracts of the roots and stemps of Salacia reticulata WIGHT(nows as Kotala himbutu in Singhalese), which is traditionally used in Sri Lanka and India for the treatment of diabetes. Its unique spiro-like structure of the inner salt comprised of 1-deoxy-4-thioarabinofuranosyl cation and 1'-deoxyerythrosyl-3'-sulfate anion was revealed by the authors on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidences including the X-ray crystallographic analysis. In this study, the nitrogen analogue 2 of 1 and some related compounds were synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase tested. 2, 4-Isopropylidene-L-erythritol-1, 3-cyclic sulfate precursor (3), used for the tethering arm of 2, was synthesized in 73% overall yield via seven steps starting from D-glucose. 1, 4-Dideoxy-1, 4-imino-D-arabinitol (D-4) was synthesized in good yield also from D-glucose. Coupling reaction between 3 and D-4 followed by hydrolysis gave the desired 2 in good yield. On the other hand, L-4 has been reported to show nearly equal inhibitory activity to that of 1.Thus, L-4 was also prepared in 42% overall yield from D-xylose (5), and was coupled with 2, 4-benzylidene-D-erythrito-1, 3-cyclic sulfate (6) to give the enantiomeric isomer 7 of 2 in good yield. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of them were tested for the intestinal α-glucosidase in vitro, and found to be reduced considerably upon substitution of the sulfur atom of 1 with the nitrogen. The origin of the reduced activities were attributed to the different stereosturucture of the aza-analogues, which was deduced by the single crystal X-ray measurement of the model compound 8 obtained by the coupling reaction of 3 with pyrrolidine. Different from those of 1 the two ionic centers in 8 were far apart from each other. Further structure-activity relationships concerning the α-glucosidase inhibitor activity of 1 using the related compounds synthesized have been summarized.
