Manzamine A reduces androgen receptor transcription and synthesis by blocking E2F8-DNA interactions and effectively inhibits prostate tumor growth in mice. Mol Oncol 2024. [PMID: 38605607 DOI: 10.1002/1878-0261.13637] [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: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The androgen receptor (AR) is the main driver in the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer, where the emergence of AR splice variants leads to treatment-resistant disease. Through detailed molecular studies of the marine alkaloid manzamine A (MA), we identified transcription factor E2F8 as a previously unknown regulator of AR transcription that prevents AR synthesis in prostate cancer cells. MA significantly inhibited the growth of various prostate cancer cell lines and was highly effective in inhibiting xenograft tumor growth in mice without any pathophysiological perturbations in major organs. MA suppressed the full-length AR (AR-FL), its spliced variant AR-V7, and the AR-regulated prostate-specific antigen (PSA; also known as KLK3) and human kallikrein 2 (hK2; also known as KLK2) genes. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis and protein modeling studies revealed E2F8 interactions with DNA as a potential novel target of MA, suppressing AR transcription and its synthesis. This novel mechanism of blocking AR biogenesis via E2F8 may provide an opportunity to control therapy-resistant prostate cancer over the currently used AR antagonists designed to target different parts of the AR gene.

Abstract
Manzamine-A is a marine-derived alkaloid that has demonstrated antimalarial and antiproliferative properties and is an emerging drug lead compound as a possible intervention in certain cancers. This compound has been found to modulate SIX1 gene expression, a target that is critical for the proliferation and survival of cells via various developmental pathways. As yet, little research has focused on manzamine-A and how its use may affect tissue systems including bone. Here we hypothesized that manzamine-A, through its interaction with SIX1, would alter precursor cells that give rise to the bone cell responsible for remodeling: the osteoclast. We further hypothesized reduced effects in differentiated osteoclasts, as these cells are generally not mitotic. We interrogated the effects of manzamine-A on preosteoclasts and osteoclasts. qrtPCR, MTS cell viability, Caspase 3/7, and TRAP staining were used as a functional assay. Preosteoclasts show responsiveness to manzamine-A treatment exhibited by decreases in cell viability and an increase in apoptosis. Osteoclasts also proved to be affected by manzamine-A but only at higher concentrations where apoptosis was increased and activation was reduced. In summary, our presented results suggest manzamine-A may have significant effects on bone development and health through multiple cell targets, previously shown in the osteoblast cell lineage, the cell responsible for mineralized tissue formation, and here in the osteoclast, the cell responsible for the removal of mineralized tissue and renewal via precipitation of bone remodeling.

Abstract
Cancer, an incurable global disease, demands urgent anti-cancer drug development. Marine alkaloids like Manzamine and its derivatives show promise as RSK inhibitors against cancer cell invasion. Replacing the hydrogen at the 8-position of Manzamine A with a hydroxyl group has been shown to significantly enhance its biological activity. In this article, we designed various functional group compounds (A1-A21) substituted 8-Manzamine A by docking, MM-GBSA, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and well-tempered metadynamics (WT-MetaD) simulations to evaluate their potential as RSK1 inhibitors. Ligands A1-A21 were docked in the RSK1 N-terminal kinase domain (PDB ID: 2Z7Q) using the Glide module. The calculation of binding energy was performed using Prime MM-GB/SA, while MD simulations were conducted with the Desmond module of Schrodinger suite 2023. Compound A5 exhibits the highest G-score (-7.01) compared to 8-Hydroxymanzamine A (-6.08). Additionally, compounds A6, A10, A12, A17, A11, A4, and A13 demonstrate increased activity against RSK1 when compared to both 8-Hydroxymanzamine A and Manzamine A. Residues LEU68, VAL76, LEU141, PHE143, LEU144, PHE150, ASP148, GLU191, and LEU194 of RSK1 protein play a key role in binding with ligands. An MD simulation of Compound A5 was carried out to explore the dynamic interactions within the protein-ligand complex. Furthermore, WT-MetaD simulations validated the docking study results and identified the most energetically favored conformations for the A5/RSK1 complex. Ligands A5, A6, A10, A12, A17, A11, A4, and A13, featuring diverse functional groups and good Glide scores, may have the potential for significant RSK1 activity and merit further development.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
This study reports valuable information regarding the presence and concentration of a series of photoactive β-carboline (βCs) alkaloids (norharmane, harmane, harmine, harmol, harmaline, and harmalol) and their distribution across the floral age and organs of Passiflora caerulea. UHPLC-MS/MS data reported herein reveal that the βCs' content ranged from 1 to 110 μg kg-1 , depending on the floral organ and age. In certain physiologically relevant organs, such as anthers, βCs' content was one order of magnitude higher than in other organs, suggesting a special role for βCs in this specific organ. βCs' content also varied in a structure-dependent manner. Alkaloids bearing a hydroxyl group at position C(7) of the main βC ring were present at concentrations one order of magnitude higher than other βC derivatives investigated. UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy of the flower extracts provided complementary information regarding other biologically relevant groups of chromophores (phenolic/indolic derivatives, flavonoids/carotenes, and chlorophylls). Since flowers are constantly exposed to solar radiation, the presence of photoactive βCs in floral organs may have several (photo)biological implications that are further discussed.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease, is one of the most intractable illnesses which affects the elderly. Clinically manifested as various impairments in memory, language, cognition, visuospatial skills, executive function, etc., the symptoms gradually aggravated over time. The drugs currently used clinically can slow down the deterioration of AD and relieve symptoms but cannot completely cure them. The drugs are mainly acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI) and non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NDMAR) antagonists. The pathogenesis of AD is inconclusive, but it is often associated with the expression of beta-amyloid. Abnormal deposition of amyloid and hyperphosphorylation of tau protein in the brain have been key targets for past, current, and future drug development for the disease. At present, researchers are paying more and more attention to excavate natural compounds which can be effective against Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative pathologies. Marine natural products have been demonstrated to be the most prospective candidates of these compounds, and some have presented significant neuroprotection functions. Consequently, we intend to describe the potential effect of bioactive compounds derived from marine organisms, including polysaccharides, carotenoids, polyphenols, sterols and alkaloids as drug candidates, to further discover novel and efficacious drug compounds which are effective against AD.

Abstract
Manzamine-A is a marine-derived alkaloid which has anti-viral and anti-proliferative properties and is currently being investigated for its efficacy in the treatment of certain viruses (malaria, herpes, HIV-1) and cancers (breast, cervical, colorectal). Manzamine-A has been found to exert effects via modulation of SIX1 gene expression, a gene critical to craniofacial development via the WNT, NOTCH, and PI3K/AKT pathways. To date little work has focused on Manzamine-A and how its use may affect bone. We hypothesize that Manzamine-A, through SIX1, alters bone cell activity. Here, we assessed the effects of Manzamine-A on cells that are responsible for the generation of bone, pre-osteoblasts and osteoblasts. PCR, qrtPCR, MTS cell viability, Caspase 3/7, and functional assays were used to test the effects of Manzamine-A on these cells. Our data suggests Six1 is highly expressed in osteoblasts and their progenitors. Further, osteoblast progenitors and osteoblasts exhibit great sensitivity to Manzamine-A treatment exhibited by a significant decrease in cell viability, increase in cellular apoptosis, and decrease in alkaline phosphatase activity. In silico binding experiment showed that manzamine A potential as an inhibitor of cell proliferation and survival proteins, i.e., Iκb, JAK2, AKT, PKC, FAK, and Bcl-2. Overall, our data suggests Manzamine-A may have great effects on bone health overall and may disrupt skeletal development, homeostasis, and repair.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer, a malignant tumor with high mortality, has a poor prognosis due to drug resistance and toxicity in clinical surgery and chemotherapy. Thus, finding safer and more efficient drugs for clinical trials is vital and urgent. Natural marine compounds, with rich resources and original chemical structures, are applied widely in anticancer treatments. We provide a systematic overview of recently reported marine compounds such as alkaloids, peptides, terpenoids, polysaccharides, and carotenoids from in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. The in vitro studies summarized the marine origins and pharmacological mechanisms, including anti-proliferation, anti-angiogenesis, anti-migration, anti-invasion, the acceleration of cycle arrest, and the promotion of tumor apoptosis, of various compounds. The in vivo studies outlined the antitumor effects of marine compounds on colorectal cancer model mice and evaluated their efficacy in terms of tumor inhibition, hepatotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity. The clinical studies summarized the major chemical classifications and targets of action of the clinical drugs that have entered clinical approval and completed approval for marine anticancer. In summary, we present the current situation regarding the application of natural anti-colorectal cancer marine compounds and prospects for their clinical application.

Abstract
Glioma is a severe disease with a poor prognosis despite aggressive surgical resection and traditional chemotherapies. Therefore, new anti-neoplastic drugs are urgently needed. Bioactive compounds from natural products are potential sources of antiproliferative molecules, among which manzamine compounds extracted from the Formosan marine sponge Haliclona sp. have shown considerable promise as anticancer drugs. In the present study, the anti-neoplastic effect and mechanism of the manzamine derivative 1-(9'-propyl-3'-carbazole)-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (PCTC) were investigated using in vitro cell lines and an in vivo subcutaneous animal model. Both cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effects were shown in human and murine glioma cell lines (A172, U87MG, and GL261), together with enhanced expressions of apoptotic enzymes and intracellular reactive oxygen species, and blockage of the G1/S phase of the cell cycle. In addition, combined treatment of GL261 cells with PCTC and temozolomide had a synergic antiproliferative effect. Significant safety, efficacy, and survival benefits were also demonstrated with PCTC treatment in the murine subcutaneous GL261 model. In conclusion, PCTC could effectively promote cell death through apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in glioma cell lines, and provide survival benefits in the animal model. Therefore, PCTC may be a clinically beneficial therapy for glioblastoma.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) still represents an important threat to health worldwide. Better therapy in terms of further improvement of outcomes and attenuation of related side-effects is desirable. The pharmaceutical industry has always targeted natural substances-phytochemicals in particular-to identify lead compounds to be clinically validated and industrially produced as antiviral and anticancer drugs. In the field of HPV, numerous naturally occurring bioactives and dietary phytochemicals have been investigated as potentially valuable in vitro and in vivo. Interference with several pathways and improvement of the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents have been demonstrated. Notably, some clinical trials have been conducted. Despite being endowed with general safety, these natural substances are in urgent need of further assessment to foresee their clinical exploitation. This review summarizes the basic research efforts conducted so far in the study of anti-HPV properties of bio-actives with insights into their mechanisms of action and highlights the variety of their natural origin in order to provide comprehensive mapping throughout the different sources. The clinical studies available are reported, as well, to highlight the need of uniformity and consistency of studies in the future to select those natural compounds that may be suited to clinical application.

Abstract
Indonesian marine natural products have been one of the most promising sources in the race to obtain potential drugs for cancer treatment. One of the primary producers of cytotoxic compounds is sponges. However, there are still limited sources of comprehensive reviews related to the relationship between the structure of isolated compounds and their cytotoxic activity. This review remarks the attempt to provide a preliminary guidance from the perspective of structure–activity relationship and its participation on marine natural products research. This guidance is segregated by the compound’s classes and their cytotoxic targets to obtain and organized a reliable summary of inter-study of the isolated compounds and their cytotoxicity. Structure–activity relationship is well-known for its ability to tune the bioactivity of a specific compound, especially on synthetic organic chemistry and in silico study but rarely used on natural product chemistry. The present review is intended to narrow down the endless possibilities of cytotoxicity by giving a predictable structure–activity relationship for active compounds. In addition, bioactive framework leads were selected by uncovering a noticeable structure–activity relationship with the intervention of cytotoxic agents from natural sources, especially Indonesian marine sponge.

Abstract
Actinomycetes are prolific sources of bioactive molecules. Traditional workflows including bacterial isolation, fermentation, metabolite identification and structure elucidation have resulted in high rates of natural product rediscovery in recent years. Recent advancements in multi-omics techniques have uncovered cryptic gene clusters within the genomes of actinomycetes, potentially introducing vast resources for the investigation of bioactive molecules. While developments in culture techniques have allowed for the fermentation of difficult-to-culture actinomycetes, high-throughput metabolite screening has offered plenary tools to accelerate hits discovery. A variety of new bioactive molecules have been isolated from actinomycetes of unique environmental origins, such as endophytic and symbiotic actinomycetes. Synthetic biology and genome mining have also emerged as new frontiers for the discovery of bioactive molecules. This review covers the highlights of recent developments in actinomycete-derived natural product drug discovery.

Abstract
Sine Oculis Homeobox Homolog 1 (SIX1) is reported to promote cancer initiation and progression in many preclinical models and is demonstrated in human cancer tissues. However, the correlation between SIX1 and cancer patients’ prognosis has not yet been systematically evaluated. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis in various human cancer types and extracted some data from TCGA datasets for further verification and perfection. We constructed 27 studies and estimated the association between SIX1 expression in various cancer patients’ overall survival and verified with TCGA datasets. Twenty-seven studies with 4899 patients are include in the analysis of overall, and disease-free survival, most of them were retrospective. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) for overall and disease-free survival in high SIX1 expression patients were 1.54 (95% CI: 1.32-1.80, P<0.00001) and 1.83 (95% CI: 1.31-2.55, P=0.0004) respectively. On subgroup analysis classified in cancer type, high SIX1 expression was associated with poor overall survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HR 1.50; 95% CI: 1.17-1.93, P =0.001), breast cancer (HR 1.31; 95% CI: 1.10-1.55, P =0.002) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (HR 1.89; 95% CI: 1.42-2.52, P<0.0001). Next, we utilized TCGA online datasets, and the consistent results were verified in various cancer types. SIX1 expression indicated its potential to serve as a cancer biomarker and deliver prognostic information in various cancer patients. More works still need to improve the understandings of SIX1 expression and prognosis in different cancer types.

RSK1 vs. RSK2 Inhibitory Activity of the Marine β-Carboline Alkaloid Manzamine A: A Biochemical, Cervical Cancer Protein Expression, and Computational Study. Mar Drugs 2021; 19:md19090506. [PMID: 34564169 PMCID: PMC8467814 DOI: 10.3390/md19090506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Revised: 08/22/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Manzamines are complex polycyclic marine-derived β-carboline alkaloids with reported anticancer, immunostimulatory, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antimalarial, neuritogenic, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis suppression bioactivities, putatively associated with inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3, cyclin-dependent kinase 5, SIX1, and vacuolar ATPases. We hypothesized that additional, yet undiscovered molecular targets might be associated with Manzamine A's (MZA) reported pharmacological properties. We report here, for the first time, that MZA selectively inhibited a 90 kDa ribosomal protein kinase S6 (RSK1) when screened against a panel of 30 protein kinases, while in vitro RSK kinase assays demonstrated a 10-fold selectivity in the potency of MZA against RSK1 versus RSK2. The effect of MZA on inhibiting cellular RSK1 and RSK2 protein expression was validated in SiHa and CaSki human cervical carcinoma cell lines. MZA's differential binding and selectivity toward the two isoforms was also supported by computational docking experiments. Specifically, the RSK1-MZA (N- and C-termini) complexes appear to have stronger interactions and preferable energetics contrary to the RSK2-MZA ones. In addition, our computational strategy suggests that MZA binds to the N-terminal kinase domain of RSK1 rather than the C-terminal domain. RSK is a vertebrate family of cytosolic serine-threonine kinases that act downstream of the ras-ERK1/2 (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2) pathway, which phosphorylates substrates shown to regulate several cellular processes, including growth, survival, and proliferation. Consequently, our findings have led us to hypothesize that MZA and the currently known manzamine-type alkaloids isolated from several sponge genera may have novel pharmacological properties with unique molecular targets, and MZA provides a new tool for chemical-biology studies involving RSK1.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases are sociosanitary challenges of today, as a result of increased average life expectancy, with Alzheimer’s disease being one of the most prevalent. This pathology is characterized by brain impairment linked to a neurodegenerative process culminating in cognitive decline and behavioral disorders. Though the etiology of this pathology is still unknown, it is usually associated with the appearance of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. The most used prophylaxis relies on anticholinesterase drugs and NMDA receptor antagonists, whose main action is to relieve symptoms and not to treat or prevent the disease. Currently, the scientific community is gathering efforts to disclose new natural compounds effective against Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative pathologies. Marine natural products have been shown to be promising candidates, and some have been proven to exert a high neuroprotection effect, constituting a large reservoir of potential drugs and nutraceutical agents. The present article attempts to describe the processes of extraction and isolation of bioactive compounds derived from sponges, algae, marine bacteria, invertebrates, crustaceans, and tunicates as drug candidates against AD, with a focus on the success of pharmacological activity in the process of finding new and effective drug compounds.

Abstract
Cancer is a public health problem worldwide, and one of the crucial steps within tumor progression is the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells, which are directly related to cancer-associated deaths in patients. Recognizing the molecular markers involved in invasion and metastasis is essential to find targeted therapies in cancer. Interestingly, about 50% of the discovered drugs used in chemotherapy have been obtained from natural sources such as plants, including isoflavonoids. Until now, most drugs are used in chemotherapy targeting proliferation and apoptosis-related molecules. Here, we review recent studies about the effect of isoflavonoids on molecular targets and signaling pathways related to invasion and metastasis in cancer cell cultures, in vivo assays, and clinical trials. This review also reports that glycitein, daidzein, and genistein are the isoflavonoids most studied in preclinical and clinical trials and displayed the most anticancer activity targeting invasion-related proteins such as MMP-2 and MMP-9 and also EMT-associated proteins. Therefore, the diversity of isoflavonoids is promising molecules to be used as chemotherapeutic in invasive cancer. In the future, more clinical trials are needed to validate the effectiveness of the various natural isoflavonoids in the treatment of invasive cancer.

Abstract
Introduction: Many active ingredients from natural plants (AINPs) have been revealed to possess remarkable anticancer properties. Combination chemotherapy of chemo-drugs and AINPs has also proven to be more advantageous than individual chemo-drug treatment with respect to enhancing efficiency, alleviating toxicity, and controlling the development of multidrug resistance (MDR). Co-delivery is considered a promising method to effectively achieve and manage combination chemotherapy of chemo-drugs and AINPs, and various distinctive and functional co-delivery systems have been designed for these purposes to date.Areas covered: This review focuses on recent preclinical investigations of co-delivery systems for chemo-drugs and AINPs as new cancer treatment modalities. We particularly emphasize the apparent treatment advantages of these approaches, including augmenting efficiency, reducing toxicity, and controlling MDR.Expert opinion: There has already been notable progress in the application of combination chemotherapy with co-delivery systems loaded with chemo-drugs and AINPs based on results with cellular and animal models. The main challenge is to translate these successes into new anticancer compound preparations and promote their clinical application in practice. Nevertheless, continuous efforts with new designs of co-delivery systems remain essential, providing a foundation for future clinical research and development of new anticancer drugs.
