Ozsvár D, Bózsity N, Zupkó I, Szakonyi Z. Synthesis and Study of the Structure-Activity Relationship of Antiproliferative N-Substituted Isosteviol-Based 1,3-Aminoalcohols. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:262. [PMID: 38399477 PMCID: PMC10893060 DOI: 10.3390/ph17020262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Starting from isosteviol, a series of diterpenoid 1,3-aminoalcohol derivatives were prepared via stereoselective transformations. The acid-catalysed hydrolysis and rearrangement of natural stevioside produced isosteviol, which was transformed into the key intermediate methyl ester. In the next step, an 1,3-aminoalcohol library was prepared by the reductive amination of the intermediate 3-hydroxyaldehyde obtained from isosteviol in a two-step synthesis. To study the effect of the carboxylate ester function at position 4, the free carboxylic acid, benzyl ester and acryloyl ester analogues were prepared as elongated derivatives in comparison with our earlier results in this field. The antiproliferative activity of compounds against human tumour cell lines (A2780, HeLa, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) was investigated. In our preliminary study, the 1,3-aminoalcohol function with N-benzyl or (1H-imidazol-1-yl)-propyl substitution and benzyl ester moiety seemed essential for the reliable antiproliferative activity. The results obtained could be a good starting point to further functionalisation towards more efficient antiproliferative diterpenes.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are among the most potent chemotherapeutics; however, cardiotoxicity significantly restricts their use. Indeed, anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) fares among the worst types of cardiomyopathy, and may only slowly and partially respond to standard heart failure therapies including β-blockers and ACE inhibitors. No therapy specifically designed to treat anthracycline cardiomyopathy at present, and neither is it known if any such strategy could be developed. To address this gap and to elucidate the molecular basis of AIC with a therapeutic goal in mind, zebrafish has been introduced as an in vivo vertebrate model about a decade ago. Here, we first review our current understanding of the basic molecular and biochemical mechanisms of AIC, and then the contribution of zebrafish to the AIC field. We summarize the generation of embryonic zebrafish AIC models (eAIC) and their use for chemical screening and assessment of genetic modifiers, and then the generation of adult zebrafish AIC models (aAIC) and their use for discovering genetic modifiers via forward mutagenesis screening, deciphering spatial-temporal-specific mechanisms of modifier genes, and prioritizing therapeutic compounds via chemical genetic tools. Several therapeutic target genes and related therapies have emerged, including a retinoic acid (RA)-based therapy for the early phase of AIC and an autophagy-based therapy that, for the first time, is able to reverse cardiac dysfunction in the late phase of AIC. We conclude that zebrafish is becoming an important in vivo model that would accelerate both mechanistic studies and therapeutic development of AIC.

Preparation and Evaluation of Animal Models of Cardiotoxicity in Antineoplastic Therapy. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3820591.

Abstract
The continuous development of antineoplastic therapy has significantly reduced the mortality of patients with malignant tumors, but its induced cardiotoxicity has become the primary cause of long-term death in patients with malignant tumors. However, the pathogenesis of cardiotoxicity of antineoplastic therapy is currently unknown, and practical means of prevention and treatment are lacking in clinical practice. Therefore, how to effectively prevent and treat cardiotoxicity while treating tumors is a major challenge. Animal models are important tools for studying cardiotoxicity in antitumor therapy and are of great importance in elucidating pathophysiological mechanisms and developing and evaluating modality drugs. In this paper, we summarize the existing animal models in antitumor therapeutic cardiotoxicity studies and evaluate the models by observing the macroscopic signs, echocardiography, and pathological morphology of the animals, aiming to provide a reference for subsequent experimental development and clinical application.

Abstract
Starting from isosteviol, a series of diterpenoid 1,3-aminoalcohol derivatives were stereoselectively synthesised. The acid-catalysed hydrolysis and rearrangement of natural stevioside gave isosteviol, which was transformed to the key intermediate methyl ester. In the next step, Mannich condensation of diterpenoid ketone, paraformaldehyde, and secondary amines resulted in the formation of 1,3-aminoketones with different stereoselectivities. During the Mannich condensation with dibenzylamine, an interesting N-benzyl → N-methyl substituent exchange was observed. Reduction of 1,3-aminoketones produced diastereoisomeric 1,3-aminoalcohols. Alternatively, aminoalcohols were obtained via stereoselective hydroxy-formylation, followed by oxime preparation, reduction, and finally, reductive alkylation of the obtained primary aminoalcohols. An alternative 1,3-aminoalcohol library was prepared by reductive amination of the intermediate 3-hydroxyaldehyde obtained from isosteviol in two-step synthesis. Cytotoxic activity of compounds against human tumour cell lines (A2780, SiHa, HeLa, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) was investigated. In our preliminary study, the 1,3-aminoalcohol function and N-benzyl substitution seemed to be essential for the reliable antiproliferative activity. To extend their application, a diterpenoid condensed with 2-phenylimino-1,3-thiazine and -1,3-oxazine was also attempted to prepare, but only formation of thioether intermediate was observed.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are highly effective chemotherapeutics for antineoplastic treatment. However, cumulative cardiotoxicity is the main side effect with poor prognosis. No mechanism-based therapy is currently available to reverse chronic anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) after the deterioration of cardiac function. Calycosin (CA) is the main compound extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus, and it has diverse beneficial effects, including autophagy modulation, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. Autophagy dysregulation is an important pathological event in AIC. Our study demonstrated a cardioprotective effect of CA in a zebrafish embryonic AIC model. To assess the effect of CA on late-onset chronic AIC, adult zebrafish were treated with CA 28 days after doxorubicin (DOX) injection, at which point heart function was obviously impaired. The results demonstrated that DOX blocked autophagic activity in adult zebrafish 8 weeks post-injection, and CA treatment improved heart function and restored autophagy. Further in vitro experiments demonstrated that atg7, which encodes an E1-like activating enzyme, may play an essential role in the CA regulation of autophagy. In conclusion, we used a rapid pharmacological screening system in embryo-adult zebrafish in vivo and elucidated the mechanism of gene targeting in vitro.

Cardioprotection by isosteviol derivate JC105: A unique drug property to activate ERK1/2 only when cells are exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation. J Cell Mol Med 2020; 24:10924-10934.

Abstract
In the present study, we have investigated potential cardioprotective properties of Isosteviol analogue we recently synthesized and named JC105. Treatment of heart embryonic H9c2 cells with JC105 (10 μM) significantly increased survival of cells exposed to hypoxia‐reoxygenation. JC105 (10 μM) activated ERK1/2, DRP1 and increased levels of cardioprotective SUR2A in hypoxia‐reoxygenation, but did not have any effects on ERK1/2, DRP1 and/or SUR2A in normoxia. U0126 (10 μM) inhibited JC105‐mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and DRP1 without affecting AKT or AMPK, which were also not regulated by JC105. Seahorse bioenergetic analysis demonstrated that JC105 (10 μM) did not affect mitochondria at rest, but it counteracted all mitochondrial effects of hypoxia‐reoxygenation. Cytoprotection afforded by JC105 was inhibited by U0126 (10 μM). Taken all together, these demonstrate that (a) JC105 protects H9c2 cells against hypoxia‐reoxygenation and that (b) this effect is mediated via ERK1/2. The unique property of JC105 is that selectively activates ERK1/2 in cells exposed to stress, but not in cells under non‐stress conditions.
