Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling is upregulated in an oxygen-dependent manner under hypoxic conditions. Activation of HIF-1 signaling increases the expression of HIF-1 target genes involved in cell survival, proliferation, and angiogenesis. Therefore, compounds that activate HIF-1 signaling have therapeutic potential in ischemic diseases. Screening for compounds that activate HIF-1 activity identified a microbial metabolite, teleocidin B-4, a PKC activator. Other PKC activators, such as TPA and 10-Me-Aplog-1, also activated HIF-1 activity. PKC activators induced HIF-1α protein accumulation through PKCα/mTORC activation. These results suggest that PKC activators without tumor-promoting activity have potential as therapeutic agents via HIF-1 target gene activation.

Abstract
Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a multifactorial disorder characterized by an unrestricted loss of body weight as a result of muscle and adipose tissue atrophy. Cachexia is influenced by several factors, including decreased metabolic activity and food intake, an imbalance between energy uptake and expenditure, excessive catabolism, and inflammation. Cachexia is highly associated with all types of cancers responsible for more than half of cancer-related mortalities worldwide. In healthy individuals, adipose tissue significantly regulates energy balance and glucose homeostasis. However, in metastatic cancer patients, CAC occurs mainly because of an imbalance between muscle protein synthesis and degradation which are organized by certain extracellular ligands and associated signaling pathways. Under hypoxic conditions, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1α) accumulated and translocated to the nucleus and activate numerous genes involved in cell survival, invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis, metabolic reprogramming, and cancer stemness. On the other hand, the ubiquitination proteasome pathway is inhibited during low O2 levels which promote muscle wasting in cancer patients. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of the HIF-1 pathway and its metabolic adaptation to biomolecules is important for developing a novel therapeutic method for cancer and cachexia therapy. Even though many HIF inhibitors are already in a clinical trial, their mechanism of action remains unknown. With this background, this review summarizes the basic concepts of cachexia, the role of inflammatory cytokines, pathways connected with cachexia with special reference to the HIF-1 pathway and its regulation, metabolic changes, and inhibitors of HIFs.

Abstract
The Matteson homologation was found to be a versatile tool for the construction of the linear polyketide side chain of meliponamycin and related compounds in only four steps. The ester dienolate version of this reaction allowed the introduction of the unsaturated ester moiety in a highly stereoselective fashion. Boronate oxidation/deoxygenation and Sharpless dihydroxylation are additional key steps in the stereoselective construction of this highly functionalized tetrahydropyran ring system, which is characteristic of this substance class.

Abstract
Tumor cells are often exposed to hypoxia because of the lower oxygen supply deep inside the tumor tissues. However, tumor cells survive in these severe conditions by adapting to hypoxic stress through the induction of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling. HIF-1 activation is responsible for the expression of numerous HIF-1 target genes, which are related to cell survival, proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis, cancer stemness, and metabolic reprogramming. Therefore, HIF-1 is expected to be a potential pharmacological target for cancer therapy. Small molecules derived from natural products (microbial origin, plant-derived, or marine organisms) have been shown to have unique chemical structures and biological activities, including HIF-1 inhibition. Several studies identified HIF-1 inhibitors from natural products. In this review, we summarize the current HIF-1 signaling inhibitors originating from natural products with a variety of modes of action, mainly focusing on microbial metabolites.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a promising drug target for cancer chemotherapy. In our screening program aimed at identifying new HIF-1 inhibitors by using a hypoxia-responsive luciferase reporter gene assay, KUSC-5001 containing the 1-alkyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide moiety was found as a potential hit molecule. During an extensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) study, we developed a more effective HIF-1 inhibitor KUSC-5037 (IC50 = 1.2 μM). Under hypoxic conditions, KUSC-5037 suppressed the HIF-1α (a regulatory subunit of HIF-1) mRNA, causing decreases in the gene expression of HIF-1 target genes such as carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) genes. Furthermore, by applying our fluorescent and bifunctional probes, ATP5B, a catalytic β subunit of mitochondrial FoF1-ATP synthase, was identified as a target protein of KUSC-5037. These results indicate that the derivatives of KUSC-5037 containing the 1-alkyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide moiety are promising lead molecules for the inhibition of HIF-1 signaling via FoF1-ATP synthase suppression.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer remains a major challenge for the success of chemotherapy. Natural products have been a rich source for the discovery of drugs against MDR cancers. Here, we applied high-throughput cytotoxicity screening of an in-house natural product library against MDR SGC7901/VCR cells and identified that the cyclodepsipeptide verucopeptin demonstrated notable antitumor potency. Cytological profiling combined with click chemistry-based proteomics revealed that ATP6V1G directly interacted with verucopeptin. ATP6V1G, a subunit of the vacuolar H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) that has not been previously targeted, was essential for SGC7901/VCR cell growth. Verucopeptin exhibited strong inhibition of both v-ATPase activity and mTORC1 signaling, leading to substantial pharmacological efficacy against SGC7901/VCR cell proliferation and tumor growth in vivo. Our results demonstrate that targeting v-ATPase via its V1G subunit constitutes a unique approach for modulating v-ATPase and mTORC1 signaling with great potential for the development of therapeutics against MDR cancers.

Abstract
A synthesis program for structurally complex macrocycles is very challenging. Herein, we propose a biosynthesis pathway of the pyranylated cyclodepsipeptide verucopeptin to make enough supply and to diversify verucopeptin by genetic manipulation and one-step semisynthesis. The synthesis relies on the intrinsic reactivity of the interchangeable hemiketal pyrane and opened keto along with adjacent alkene. Biological evaluation of verucopeptin-oriented analogs delivers a potent AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonist, antibacterial agent, and selective NFκB modulator.

Cancer Sci 2019; 111:239-252. [PMID: 31729096 PMCID: PMC6942421 DOI: 10.1111/cas.14236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2019] [Revised: 10/21/2019] [Accepted: 11/01/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a critical heterodimeric transcription factor for tumor malignancy. Recently, ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) has been reported to function as a deubiquitinating enzyme for the stabilization of its α subunit (HIF-1α). In the present study, we showed that UCHL1 inhibition can be an effective therapeutic strategy against HIF-1-dependent tumor malignancy. In 2D monolayer culture, a UCHL1 inhibitor suppressed HIF activity and decreased the transcription of HIF downstream genes by inhibiting the UCHL1-mediated accumulation of HIF-1α. Phenotypically, UCHL1 inhibition remarkably blocked cell migration. In 3D spheroid culture models, ectopic expression of UCHL1 significantly upregulated malignancy-related factors such as solidity, volume, as well as viable cell number in an HIF-1α-dependent manner. Conversely, inhibition of the UCHL1-HIF-1 pathway downregulated these malignancy-related factors and also abolished UCHL1-mediated cell proliferation and invasiveness. Finally, inhibition of UCHL1 promoted HIF-1α degradation and lowered the expression of HIF-1 target genes in the 3D model, as also observed in 2D monolayer culture. Our research indicates that the UCHL1-HIF-1 pathway plays a crucial role in tumor malignancy, making it a promising therapeutic target for cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Covering: 1993 to 2016The exploitation of small molecules from natural sources, such as microbial metabolites, has contributed to the discovery of not only new drugs but also new research tools for chemical biology. My research team has discovered several novel bioactive small molecules using in vivo cell-based phenotypic screening, and has investigated their modes of action using chemical genetics and chemical genomics. This highlight focuses on our recent discoveries and chemical genetics approaches for bioactive microbial metabolites that target cancer cells, the cancer microenvironment and cell membrane signalling. In addition, the development of two new platforms, 5-sulfonyl tetrazole-based and thiourea-modified amphiphilic lipid-based probe technologies, to identify the cellular targets of these molecules is also discussed.

Abstract
Three new dentigerumycin analogues are produced by Streptomyces sp. M41, a bacterium isolated from a South African termite, Macrotermes natalensis. The structures of the complex nonribosomal peptide synthetase-polyketide synthase (NRPS/PKS) hybrid compounds were determined by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Both cyclic and linear peptides are reported, and the genetic organization of the NRPS modules within the biosynthetic gene cluster accounts for the observed structural diversity.
