Evaluation of potency and metabolic stability of diphyllin-derived Vacuolar-ATPase inhibitors. Eur J Med Chem 2024; 275:116537. [PMID: 38875806 PMCID: PMC11236507 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Diphyllin is a naturally occurring lignan comprised of an aryl naphthalene lactone scaffold that demonstrates beneficial biological activities in disease models of cancer, obesity, and viral infection. A target of diphyllin and naturally occurring derivatives is the vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) complex. Although diphyllin-related natural products are active with in vitro models for viral entry, the potencies and unknown pharmacokinetic properties limit well-designed in vivo evaluations. Previous studies demonstrated that diphyllin derivatives have the utility of blocking the Ebola virus cell entry pathway. However, diphyllin shows limited potency and poor oral bioavailability in mice. An avenue to improve the potency was used in a new library of synthetic derivatives of diphyllin. Diphyllin derivatives exploiting ether linkages at the 4-position with one-to-three carbon spacers to an oxygen or nitrogen atom provided compounds with EC50 values ranging from 7 to 600 nM potency and selectivity up to >500 against Ebola virus in infection assays. These relative potencies are reflected in the Ebola virus infection of primary macrophages, a cell type involved in early pathogenesis. A target engagement study reveals that reducing the ATPV0a2 protein expression enhanced the potency of diphyllin derivatives to block EBOV entry, consistent with effects on the endosomal V-ATPase function. Despite the substantial enhancement of antiviral potencies, limitations were identified, including rapid clearance predicted by in vitro microsome stability assays. However, compounds with similar or improved half-lives relative to diphyllin demonstrated improved pharmacokinetic profiles in vivo. Importantly, these derivatives displayed suitable plasma levels using oral administration, establishing the feasibility of in vivo antiviral testing.

Bioactivities and Mechanisms of Action of Diphyllin and Its Derivatives: A Comprehensive Systematic Review. Molecules 2023; 28:7874.

Abstract
Natural products are treasure houses for modern drug discovery. Diphyllin is a natural arylnaphthalene lignan lactone isolated from the leaf of Astilboides tabularis. Studies have found that it possesses plenty of bioactivity characteristics. In this paper, we reviewed the structure, bioactivity, and mechanism of action of diphyllin and its derivatives. The references were obtained from PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases up to August 2023. Papers without a bio-evaluation were excluded. Diphyllin and its derivatives have demonstrated V-ATPase inhibition, anti-tumor, anti-virus, anti-biofilm, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant activities. The most studied activities of diphyllin and its derivatives are V-ATPase inhibition, anti-tumor activities, and anti-virus activities. Furthermore, V-ATPase inhibition activity is the mechanism of many bioactivities, including anti-tumor, anti-virus, and anti-inflammatory activities. We also found that the galactosylated modification of diphyllin is a common phenomenon in plants, and therefore, galactosylated modification is applied by researchers in the laboratory to obtain more excellent diphyllin derivatives. This review will provide useful information for the development of diphyllin-based anti-tumor and anti-virus compounds.

Abstract
The precise aromatization of the C-ring of podophyllotoxone to access value-added dehydropodophyllotoxin derivatives conventionally requires the use of equivalent amounts of unsustainable oxidants and suffers from inefficiencies. Taking advantage of the hydridic character of the C8 and C8' of podophyllotoxone, we have developed an I2-DMSO catalytic manifold that enables a green and selective dehydrogenative aromatization to overcome these synthetic challenges. An unprecedented dehydrogenative amination of podophyllotoxone derivatives was also realized using aniline as the reaction partner.

Abstract
A concise and versatile synthetic strategy for the total synthesis of arylnaphthalene lignans and aza-analogs was developed. The main objective was to develop synthetic tactics for the creation of the lactone and lactam unit that would give access to an array of synthetic, natural, and/or bioactive compounds through rather simple chemical manipulation. The flexibility and potentiality of these new processes were further illustrated by the total synthesis of retrojusticidin B (13b), justicidin C (14b), and methoxy-vitedoamine A (22a). In this study, a series of novel aryl-naphthalene lignans and aza-analogs were synthesized, and the cytotoxic activities of all compounds on cancer cell growth were evaluated. The target compounds were structurally characterized by 1 H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), 13 C NMR, infrared, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. The IC50 values of these compounds on five tumor cell lines (A549, HS683, MCF-7, SK-MEL-28, and B16-F1) were obtained by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) colorimetric assay. Five of the compounds exhibited excellent activity compared to 5-fluorouracil and etoposide against the five cell lines tested, with IC50 values ranging from 1 to 10 μM.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms that underpin the anticancer effects of cleistanthin A (CA) in two CRC cell lines, HCT 116, and SW480. At 48 h, CA exhibited apoptotic cytotoxic effects in both CRC cell lines, concomitant with reduction of an anti-apoptotic protein, survivin. Mechanistically, CA treatment significantly reduced the expression levels of β-catenin and active-β-catenin in a dose-dependent manner in both CRC cell lines. Moreover, CA suppressed the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by decreasing β-catenin-mediated transcriptional activity and expression of β-catenin target genes, AXIN2, CCND1, and survivin. Furthermore, CA also inhibited transcriptional activity in cells overexpressing a constitutively active β-catenin S33Y, indicating a GSK-3β-independent mechanism underlying the observed CA effects on CRC cells. Although cytotoxic activity was not observed with CA treatment at 24 h, cell migration and invasion were significantly reduced. In addition, CA suppressed V-type ATPase activity and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation. Collectively, our study reveals that CA has time-dependent effects on CRC cell phenotypes. First, short-term CA treatment inhibited CRC cell migration and invasion partly through the suppression of V-type ATPase activity. This suppression resulted in reduced FAK activation. Second, longer-term CA treatment decreased cell viability which correlated with the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling induced transcriptional activity. Altogether, our data suggest that CA has the potential to develop as an effective and novel therapeutic drug for CRC patients.

Abstract
A series of arylnaphthalene lignan lactones based on the structure of the phyllanthusmins, a class of potent natural products possessing diphyllin as the aglycone, has been synthesized and screened for activity against multiple cancer cell lines. SAR exploration was performed on both the carbohydrate and lactone moieties of this structural class. These studies have revealed the importance of functionalization of the carbohydrate hydroxy groups with both acetylated and methylated analogues showing increased potency relative to those with unsubstituted sugar moieties. In addition, the requirement for the presence and position of the C-ring lactone has been demonstrated through reduction and selective re-oxidation of the lactone ring. The most potent compound in this study displayed an IC50 value of 18 nM in an HT-29 assay with several others ranging from 50 to 200 nM. In an effort to elucidate their potential mechanism(s) of action, the DNA topoisomerase IIa inhibitory activity of the most potent compounds was examined based on previous reports of structurally similar compounds, but does not appear to contribute significantly to their antiproliferative effects.

Abstract
Diphyllin is a natural component of traditional Chinese medicine, which effectively inhibits V-ATPase activity and affects the progression of cancer. However, few studies have been conducted on esophageal cancer, and the mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The present study revealedthat diphyllin inhibited proliferation and induced S arrest in esophageal cancer cell lines TE-1 and ECA-109. Further experiments revealed that diphyllin inhibited V-ATPase activity and decreased the mRNA expression of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The present study also revealed that diphyllin inhibited proliferation and reduced the formation of new blood vessels. Diphyllin inhibited blood metastasis by regulating the mTORC1/HIF-1α-/VEGF pathway, therefore it could be considered as a new V-ATPase inhibitor to treat esophageal cancer.
