[PMID: 36985758 PMCID: PMC10059712 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28062786] [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: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Two aplysiatoxin derivatives, neo-debromoaplysiatoxin I (1) and neo-debromoaplysiatoxin J (2), were isolated from marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya sp. collected from the South China Sea. Their structures including absolute configurations were assigned by spectroscopic analysis, in combination with GIAO NMR shift calculation and DP4+ analysis. Structures of neo-debromoaplysiatoxin I and neo-debromoaplysiatoxin J contained a decahydro-5H-pyrano [2,3,4-de] chromen-5-one 6/6/6 ring skeleton and an intriguing peroxide bridge group, respectively, which are unprecedented structure scaffold and motif in aplysiatoxins. Two compounds displayed comparable inhibitory activities against Kv1.5 K+ channel with IC50 values of 2.59 ± 0.37 μM (1) and 1.64 ± 0.15 μM (2); however, they presented differential cytotoxic effects. It is worth noting that neo-debromoaplysiatoxin J, containing a peroxide bridge, showed remarkable cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines including SW480, SGC7901, LoVo and PC-9 compared to the human normal cell line.

Abstract
Interest in the marine cyanobacteria natural products aplysiatoxin (ATX) and oscillatoxin (OTX) has been renewed recently due to the discovery of many new analogues, some exhibiting intriguing biological activities. We sought to develop a collective synthesis of these natural products, hypothesizing that ATX could serve as a common biosynthetic precursor. Herein, we reveal that the core structure of ATX has unique multiple reactivities giving access to the distinct ring structures of five of the analogues, depending upon the specific conditions used. Based on these findings, syntheses of the O-Me derivative of five analogues neo-deBr-ATX-B, OTX-H, OTX-D, neo-deBr-ATX-H, and OTX-I were achieved from the main fragment of ATX as a common intermediate in a few steps. These synthetic studies also led us to revise the relative configuration in the elucidated structures of neo-deBr-ATX-B and OTX-H, and obtain unnatural 8- and 12-membered lactones from the same intermediate.

Abstract
Oscillatoxins (OTXs) and aplysiatoxins are biosynthetically related polyketides produced by marine cyanobacteria. We previously developed a synthetic route to phenolic O-methyl analogs of OTX-D and 30-methyl-OTX-D during collective synthesis of these natural products. According to our synthetic strategy, we achieved total synthesis of OTX-D, 30-methyl-OTX-D, OTX-E, and OTX-F by deprotecting the O-methyl group in an earlier intermediate, and determined their biological activities. Although OTX-D and 30-methyl-OTX-D have been reported to show antileukemic activity against L1210 cell line, we found that their cytotoxicity in vitro against this cell line is relatively weak (IC50: 29-52 µm). In contrast, OTX-F demonstrated cell line-selective antiproliferative activity against DMS-114 lung cancer cells, which implies that OTXs target as yet unknown target molecules as part of this unique activity.

Abstract
10-Methyl-aplog-1 (1), a simplified analog of debromoaplysiatoxin, exhibits a high binding affinity for protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes and potent antiproliferative activity against several cancer cells with few adverse effects. A recent study has suggested that its phenol group in the side chain is involved in hydrogen bonding and CH/π interactions with the binding cleft-forming loops in the PKCδ-C1B domain. To clarify the effects of the side chain length on these interactions, four analogs of 1 with various lengths of side chains (2-5) were prepared. The maximal PKC binding affinity and antiproliferative activity were observed in 1. Remarkably, the introduction of a bromine atom into the phenol group of 2 increased not only these activities but also proinflammatory activity. These results indicated that 1 has the optimal side chain length as an anticancer seed. This conclusion was supported by docking simulations of 1-5 to the PKCδ-C1B domain.

Loss of the Phenolic Hydroxyl Group and Aromaticity from the Side Chain of Anti-Proliferative 10-Methyl-aplog-1, a Simplified Analog of Aplysiatoxin, Enhances Its Tumor-Promoting and Proinflammatory Activities. Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22040631.

Abstract
Aplysiatoxin (ATX) is a protein kinase C (PKC) activator with potent tumor-promoting activity. In contrast, 10-methyl-aplog-1 (1), a simplified analog of ATX, was anti-proliferative towards several cancer cell lines without significant tumor-promoting and proinflammatory activities. To determine the effects of the phenolic group on the biological activities of 1, we synthesized new derivatives (2, 3) that lack the phenolic hydroxyl group and/or the aromatic ring. Compound 2, like 1, showed potent anti-proliferative activity against several cancer cell lines, but little with respect to tumor-promoting and proinflammatory activities. In contrast, 3 exhibited weaker growth inhibitory activity, and promoted inflammation and tumorigenesis. The binding affinity of 3 for PKCδ, which is involved in growth inhibition and apoptosis, was several times lower than those of 1 and 2, possibly due to the absence of the hydrogen bond and CH/π interaction between its side chain and either Met-239 or Pro-241 in the PKCδ-C1B domain. These results suggest that both the aromatic ring and phenolic hydroxyl group can suppress the proinflammatory and tumor-promoting activities of 1 and, therefore, at least the aromatic ring in the side chain of 1 is indispensable for developing anti-cancer leads with potent anti-proliferative activity and limited side effects. In accordance with the binding affinity, the concentration of 3 necessary to induce PKCδ-GFP translocation to the plasma membrane and perinuclear regions in HEK293 cells was higher than that of 1 and 2. However, the translocation profiles for PKCδ-GFP due to induction by 1–3 were similar.

Abstract
Despite a more recent isolation and chemical characterization when compared to phorbol, along with its chemical instability, limited distribution in Nature, and scarce availability, ingenol is the only Euphorbia diterpenoid that has undergone successful pharmaceutical development, with ingenol 3-angelate (ingenol mebutate, Picato(®)) entering the pharmaceutical market in 2012 for the treatment of actinic keratosis. The phytochemical, chemical, and biological literature on members of the ingenane class of diterpenoids is reviewed from their first isolation in 1968 through 2015, highlighting unresolved issues both common to phorboids (biogenesis, relationship between molecular targets, and in vivo activity) and specific to ingenol derivatives (two-dimensional representation, in-out stereoisomerism, versatility of binding mode to PKC, and inconsistencies in the structural elucidation of some classes of derivatives). The biogenesis of ingenol is discussed in the light of the Jakupovic proposal of a dissection between the formation of the macrocyclic Euphorbia diterpenoids and the phorboids, and the clinical development of ingenol mebutate is chronicled in the light of its "reverse-pharmacology" focus.

Abstract
Aplog-1 is a simplified analog of the tumor-promoting aplysiatoxin with anti-proliferative and cytotoxic activities against several cancer cell lines. Our recent findings have suggested that protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) could be one of the target proteins of aplog-1. In this study, we synthesized amide-aplog-1 (3), in which the C-1 ester group was replaced with an amide group, to improve chemical stability in vivo. Unfortunately, 3 exhibited seventy-fold weaker binding affinity to the C1B domain of PKCδ than that of aplog-1, and negligible anti-proliferative and cytotoxic activities even at 10(-4) M. A conformational analysis and density functional theory calculations indicated that the stable conformation of 3 differed from that of aplog-1. Since 27-methyl and 27-methoxy derivatives (1, 2) without the ability to bind to PKC isozymes exhibited marked anti-proliferative and cytotoxic activities at 10(-4) M, 3 may be an inactive control to identify the target proteins of aplogs.

Abstract
Switching on kinases: Synthetic caged DAG-lactones have been developed and showed decreases of two orders of magnitude, relative to the corresponding parent compounds, in their binding affinities towards PKC. The caged compounds had no effect on the translocation of PKC until after photoactivation. This approach is a potentially powerful tool for probing the PKC signaling cascade.

Abstract
Two polyketide metabolites, nhatrangins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from a Vietnamese collection of Lyngbya majuscula. These compounds are related to the aplysiatoxin series of metabolites, which have also been isolated from this species of marine cyanobacterium. The use of 900 MHz cryoprobe NMR allowed the elucidation of the 2D structure of 1 from approximately 0.3 mg of compound. LC-MS analysis was utilized to direct the isolation of additional material as well as the isolation of 2. Conformational analysis was completed using J-based coupling constant analysis and selective NOE experiments.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) is widely recognized as a therapeutic target in intractable diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). While inhibition of PKC is a general therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cancer, PKC activators are potential therapeutic agents for AD and AIDS. However, concerns have been raised about their therapeutic use since PKC activators such as phorbol esters exhibit potent tumor-promoting activities. Naturally occurring bryostatin 1 (bryo-1), prostratin, and 12-deoxyphorbol 13-phenylacetate (DPP) are fascinating PKC activators without tumor-promoting activities. Bryo-1 is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of cancer and is also effective against AD. Prostratin and DPP are attractive candidates for the adjunctive treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, their limited availability from natural sources and synthetic complexity have hampered further development as therapeutic agents. We report here easy access (22 steps) to a simple analogue (1) of the tumor-promoting aplysiatoxin (ATX) as a novel PKC activator with anticancer and anti-tumor-promoting activities. Anticancer activities of 1 against several human cancer cell lines were comparable to those of bryo-1. Moreover, 1 as well as bryo-1 significantly inhibited the Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) induction by the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), whereas ATX strongly induced EBV-EA. This inhibitory effect is characteristic of antitumor promoters. Compound 1 as well as bryo-1 displayed significant binding and activation of PKCdelta and induced its translocation to the nuclear membrane in CHO-K1 cells. This study provides a synthetically accessible PKC activator with bryo-1-like activities, which could be another therapeutic lead for cancer, AD, and AIDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Virtual screening is used to distinguish potential leads from inactive compounds in a database of chemical samples. One method for accomplishing this is by docking compounds into the structure of a receptor binding site in order to rank-order compounds by the quality of the interactions they form with the receptor. It is generally established that docking can be reasonably successful at generating good poses of a ligand in an active site. However, the scoring functions that are used with docking are typically not successful at correctly ranking ligands according to binding affinity or even distinguishing correct poses of a given ligand from incorrect ones. RESULTS We have developed a simple method for reducing the number of false positives in a virtual screen, meaning ligands which are scored highly by the docking program but do not bind well in reality. This method uses a docking program for pose generation without regard to scoring, followed by filtering with receptor-based pharmacophore searches. We applied it to three test-case targets: neuraminidase A, cyclin-dependent kinase 2, and the C1 domain of protein kinase C. CONCLUSION The pharmacophore filtering method can perform better than more traditional docking + scoring methods, and allows the advantages of both docking-based and pharmacophore-based approaches to virtual screening to be fully realized.

Abstract
The elucidation of specific functions of protein kinase C (PKC) subtypes in physiological processes is an important challenge for the future development of new drug targets. Subtype-selective PKC agonists and antagonists are useful biological tools for this purpose. Most of the currently used PKC modulators elicit their activities through binding to the ATP binding site of PKC, which shares many features with other kinases. PKC modulators that target the PKC regulatory domain are considered to be advantageous in terms of selectivity, because the structure of the regulatory domain is intrinsic to each PKC subtype. In this paper, we describe the identification of new potent and conventional PKC-selective inhibitors that target the regulatory domain. The inhibitors contain a phorbol skeleton, a naturally occurring potent and selective PKC regulatory domain binder, with a perfluorinated alkyl group and a polyether hydrophilic chain on a terephthaloyl aromatic ring at the C12 position. Both of these substituents are essential for the potent inhibitory activity. Specifically, the binding affinity between PKC and the phorbol ester analogues was improved by an electron-deficient aromatic ring at C12. This finding cannot be explained by the previously proposed binding model and suggests a new binding mode between phorbol esters and PKC.

Abstract
Several new phorbol derivatives having ethereal substituents at the 12-position were synthesized and subjected to biological evaluation to find new candidates of an anti-HIV agent. Among them, 12-O-(methoxymethyl)phorbol 13-decanoate showed potent inhibitory activity against infection of HIV-1 in MT-4 cells (EC50: 1.3 ng/mL) and relatively low cytotoxicity (CC50: 8.3 microg/mL). This compound was also found to have sufficient stability in mouse plasma compared with the corresponding 12-acetate derivative, which was an equipotent HIV-1 inhibitor, but with an activity that decreased considerably after plasma treatment.

Abstract
Efforts are described to design simple, fully flexible but conformationally preorganised omega-hydroxy-nonanoic acids that could serve as the conformation controlling unit in analogues of the potent protein-kinase C activator aplysiatoxin. Such analogues are macrodilactones incorporating the designed omega-hydroxy-nonanoic acid and 3,4-dihydroxy-pentanoic acid, which contains the pharmacophoric groups. The design process (replacement of CH(2) groups by an oxygen atom, annelation of a six-membered ring and placement of alkyl substituents) of the omega-hydroxy-nonanoic acids was monitored by force-field calculations. In the end of this process simple analogues of aplysiatoxin are proposed in which the proper disposition of the pharmacophoric groups is secured by a conformationally flexible but preorganised template structure as part of the macrodilactone ring.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of enzymes, which play important roles in intracellular signal transduction. We have designed novel PKC ligands having an isobenzofuranone template, based on the proposed interaction of DAG (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol) with the PKCdelta C1B ligand-binding domain. Several isobenzofuranone derivatives were synthesized and their PKCalpha binding activities were evaluated. The pivaloyl derivative 1f was found to be a strong PKCalpha ligand, and the structure-activity relationship is well explained by our proposed binding model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ingenol derivatives have received constant and multidisciplinary attention on account of their pleiotropic pattern of biological activity. This includes activation of protein kinase C (PKC), tumour-promotion, anticancer, and anti-HIV properties, and the possibility of dissecting co-cancerogenic and clinically useful activities has been demonstrated. Certain ingenol esters show powerful anticancer activity, and a structure-activity relationship model to discriminate between their apoptotic and non-apoptotic properties has been developed. RESULTS The polyhydroxylated southern region of ingenol was selectively modified, using the anticancer and PKC activator ingenol 3,20-dibenzoate (IDB) as a lead compound. The evaluation of IDB analogues in apoptosis assays showed strict structure-activity relationships, benzoylation of the 20-hydroxyl being required to trigger apoptosis through a pathway involving caspase-3 and occurring at the specific cell cycle checkpoint that controls the S-M phase transition. Conversely, a study on the activation of the PKC-dependent transcription factors AP-1 and NF-kappaB by IDB analogues showed significant molecular flexibility, including tolerance to changes at the 3- and 20-hydroxyls. IDB-induced apoptosis was independent of activation of PKC, since it was not affected by treatment with the non-isoform-selective PKC inhibitor GF 109230X0. CONCLUSIONS Remarkable deviations from the tumour-promotion pharmacophore were observed for both the apoptotic and the PKC-activating properties of IDB analogues, showing that ingenol is a viable template to selectively target crucial pathways involved in tumour promotion and development. Since the apoptotic and the PKC-activating properties of ingenoids are mediated by different pathways and governed by distinct structure-activity relationships, it is possible to dissect them by suitable chemical modification. In this context, the esterification pattern of the 5- and 20-hydroxyls is critical.

Abstract
7-Methoxy-8-decynyl-benzolactam-V8 4 is synthesized using a catalytic asymmetric alkylation reaction as a key step. This compound shows potent activity to three PKC isozymes tested (Ki =45.6, 91.1, and 121.3 nM to PKCalpha, delta, and epsilon, respectively), indicating that introduction of a suitable substituent at the 7-position of 8-decynyl-benzolactam-V8 only slightly reduces the PKC binding affinity.

Abstract
The design of potent protein kinase C (PK-C) ligands with low nanomolar binding affinities was accomplished by the combined use of pharmacophore- and receptor-guided approaches based on the structure of the physiological enzyme activator, diacylglycerol (DAG). Earlier use of the former approach, which was based on the structural equivalence of DAG and phorbol ester pharmacophores, identified a fixed template for the construction of a semirigid "recognition domain" that contained the three principal pharmacophores of DAG constrained into a lactone ring (DAG-lactones). In the present work, the pharmacophore-guided approach was refined to a higher level based on the X-ray structure of the C1b domain of PK-Cdelta complexed with phorbol-13-O-acetate. A systematic search that involved modifying the DAG-lactone template with a combination of linear or branched acyl and alpha-alkylidene chains, which functioned as variable hydrophobic "affinity domains", helped identify compounds that optimized hydrophobic contacts with a group of conserved hydrophobic amino acids located on the top half of the C1 domain where the phorbol binds. The hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance of the molecules was estimated by the octanol/water partition coefficients (log P) calculated according to a fragment-based approach. The presence of branched alpha-alkylidene or acyl chains was of critical importance to reach low nanomolar binding affinities for PK-C. These branched chains appear to facilitate important van der Waals contacts with hydrophobic segments of the protein and help promote the activation of PK-C through critical membrane interactions. Molecular modeling of these DAG-lactones into an empty C1b domain using the program AutoDock 2.4 suggests the existence of competing binding modes (sn-1 and sn-2) depending on which carbonyl is directly involved in binding to the protein. Inhibition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) binding, an indirect PK-C mediated response, was realized with some DAG-lactones at a dose 10-fold higher than with the standard phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBU). Through the National Cancer Institute (NCI) 60-cell line in vitro screen, DAG-lactone 31 was identified as a very selective and potent antitumor agent. The NCI's computerized, pattern-recognition program COMPARE, which analyzes the degree of similarity of mean-graph profiles produced by the screen, corroborated our principles of drug design by matching the profile of compound 31 with that of the non-tumor-promoting antitumor phorbol ester, prostratin. The structural simplicity and the degree of potency achieved with some of the DAG-lactones described here should dispel the myth that chemical complexity and pharmacological activity go hand in hand. Even as a racemate, DAG-lactone 31 showed low namomolar binding affinity for PK-C and displayed selective antitumor activity at equivalent nanomolar levels. Our present approach should facilitate the generation of multiple libraries of structurally similar DAG-lactones to help exploit molecular diversity for PK-C and other high-affinity receptors for DAG and the phorbol esters. The success of this work suggests that substantially simpler, high-affinity structures could be identified to function as surrogates of other complex natural products.
