Genome mining is a powerful method for finding novel secondary metabolites. In our study on the biosynthetic gene cluster for the cyclic octapeptides surugamides A–E (inhibitors of cathepsin B), we found a putative gene cluster consisting of four successive non‐ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes, surA, surB, surC, and surD. Prediction of amino acid sequence based on the NRPSs and gene inactivation revealed that surugamides A–E are produced by two NRPS genes, surA and surD, which were separated by two NRPS genes, surB and surC. The latter genes are responsible for the biosynthesis of an unrelated peptide, surugamide F. The pattern of intercalation observed in the sur genes is unprecedented. The structure of surugamide F, a linear decapeptide containing one 3‐amino‐2‐methylpropionic acid (AMPA) residue, was determined by spectroscopic methods and was confirmed by solid‐phase peptide synthesis. 相似文献

3‐Deazaneplanocin A (DzNep) is a potential epigenetic drug for the treatment of various cancers. DzNep has been reported to deplete histone methylations, including oncogenic EZH2 complex, giving rise to epigenetic modifications that reactivate many silenced tumor suppressors in cancer cells. Despite its promise as an anticancer drug, little is known about the structure–activity relationships of DzNep in the context of epigenetic modifications and apoptosis induction. In this study, a number of analogues of DzNep were examined for DzNep‐like ability to induce synergistic apoptosis in cancer cells in combination with trichostatin A, a known histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. The structure–activity relationship data thus obtained provide valuable information on the structural requirements for biological activity. The studies identified three compounds that show similar activities to DzNep. Two of these compounds show good pharmacokinetics and safety profiles. Attempts to correlate the observed synergistic apoptotic activities with measured S‐adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) inhibitory activities suggest that the apoptotic activity of DzNep might not be directly due to its inhibition of SAHH. 相似文献

Despite the considerable interest in protein kinase C‐related kinase 1 (PRK1) as a target in cancer research, there is still a lack of PRK1 inhibitors with suitable selectivity profiles and physicochemical properties. To identify new PRK1 inhibitors we applied a virtual screening approach, which combines ensemble docking, minimization of the protein–ligand complex, binding free energy calculations, and application of quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models for predicting in vitro activity. The developed approach was then applied in a prospective manner to screen available libraries of kinase inhibitors from Selleck and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Compounds that showed favorable prediction were then tested in vitro for PRK1 inhibition. Some of the hits were found to inhibit PRK1 in the low‐nanomolar range. Three in vitro hits were additionally tested in a mass‐spectrometry‐based cellular kinase profiling assay to examine selectivity. Our findings show that nanomolar and drug‐like inhibitors can be identified by the virtual screening approach presented herein. The identified inhibitors are valuable tools for gaining a better understanding of PRK1 inhibition, and the identified hits can serve as starting points for further chemical optimization. 相似文献

Herein we describe the scalable diastereoselective and enantioselective syntheses of eight enantiomers of hydroxy metabolites of saperconazole. The in vitro antifungal activity of the eight stereoisomers (compounds 1 – 8 ) was compared against a broad panel of Candida spp. (n=93), Aspergillus spp. (n=10), Cryptococcus spp. (n=19), and dermatophytes (n=27). The four 2S isomers 1 – 4 of the new agent were generally slightly more active than the four 2R isomers 5 – 8 . All eight isomers were tested in a model of experimental A. fumigatus infection in guinea pigs by intravenous inoculation of the fungal conidia. Treatment doses were 1.25 mg kg?1 and 2.5 mg kg?1 per day. Infection severity was measured in terms of mean survival time (MST) after infection and mean tissue burdens in brain, liver, spleen, and kidney at postmortem examination. Among the eight isomers, the 2S diastereomers 1 – 4 showed a generally higher level of activity than the 2R diastereomers 5 – 8 , revealing compounds 1 and 4 as the most potent overall in eradicating tissue burden and MST. Compared with reference compounds itraconazole and saperconazole, the hydroxy isomers 1 – 8 are less potent inhibitors of the growth of A. fumigatus in vitro and of ergosterol biosynthesis in both A. fumigatus and C. albicans. 相似文献
