  • Enediynes, Enyneallenes, Their Reactions, and Beyond
    Advanced Review Enediynes, enyne-allenes, their reactions, and beyond Elfi Kraka∗ and Dieter Cremer Enediynes undergo a Bergman cyclization reaction to form the labile 1,4-didehy- drobenzene (p-benzyne) biradical. The energetics of this reaction and the related Schreiner–Pascal reaction as well as that of the Myers–Saito and Schmittel reac- tions of enyne-allenes are discussed on the basis of a variety of quantum chemical and available experimental results. The computational investigation of enediynes has been beneficial for both experimentalists and theoreticians because it has led to new synthetic challenges and new computational methodologies. The accurate description of biradicals has been one of the results of this mutual fertilization. Other results have been the computer-assisted drug design of new antitumor antibiotics based on the biological activity of natural enediynes, the investigation of hetero- and metallo-enediynes, the use of enediynes in chemical synthesis and C materials science, or an understanding of catalyzed enediyne reactions.

Mitomycin C (MMC), an anticancer antibiotic used as a first- or second- line regimen in the treatment for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), causes serious adverse reactions when used alone. Here, by using both in vitro and in vivo experiments, we provide evidence for an optimal therapy for NSCLC with total ginsenosides extract (TGS), which significantly enhanced the MMC-induced cytotoxicity against NSCLC A549 and PC-9 cells in vitro when used in combination with relatively low concentrations of MMC. A NSCLC xenograft mouse model was used to confirm thein vivo synergistic effects of the combination of TGS with MMC. Further investigation revealed that TGS could significantly reverse MMC-induced S-phase cell cycle arrest and inhibit Rad51-mediated DNA damage repair, which was evidenced by the inhibitory effects of TGS on the levels of phospho- MEK1/2, phospho-ERK1/2 and Rad51 protein and the translocation of Rad51 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in response to MMC.

Goldenberg2 Department of Medicine. University of Manitoba, and the Manitoba Institute of Cell Biology. Winnipeg. Manitoba. R3E OV9, Canada SUMMARY (19, 20) in normal and leukemic human lymphoid cells (25) and in rat Walker 256 carcinosarcoma cells in vitro (18). An investigation was undertaken of the mechanism of Choline, a close structural analog of HN2, has been resistance to nitrogen mustard (HN2) and other alkylating identified as the native substrate for the HN2 transport agents, with particular emphasis on the interaction between system (19). Other alkylating agents, including chlorambu cross-resistance and drug transport mechanisms in LSI78Y cil, melphalan, and intact and enzyme-activated cyclophos lymphohlasts. Dose-survival curves demonstrated that the DOfor HN2-sensitive cells (L5178Y) treated with HN2 in phamide, did not inhibit HN2 transport, suggesting inde vitro was 9.79 ng/ml and the D0 for HN2-resistant cells pendent transport mechanisms for these agents (20). Unlike HN2 transport, a study of cyclophosphamide uptake by (L5178Y/HN2) was 181.11 ng/ml; thus, sensitive cells were 18.5-fold more responsive than were resistant cells and the LSI78Y lymphoblasts demonstrated biphasic kinetics and was mediated by a facilitated diffusion mechanism (15). In difference was highly significant (p < 0.001). A similar common with HN2 transport, uptake of cyclophosphamide evaluation of 5 additional alkylating agents, including chlorambucil, melphalan, l,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-l-nitro- was not blocked by other alkylating agents such as HN2, sourea, Mitomycin C, and 2,3,5-tris(ethyleneimino)-l,4- chlorambucil, melphalan and isophosphamide, providing additional evidence that these drugs are transported by benzoquinone, revealed that L5178Y/HN2 cells were also cross-resistant, in part, to each of these compounds.

Received: 2020.04.27; Accepted: 2020.06.14; Published: 2020.06.28 Abstract Various antibiotics have been used in the treatment of cancers, via their anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic and anti-epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) capabilities. However, increasingly studies have indicated that antibiotics may also induce cancer generation by disrupting intestinal microbiota, which further promotes chronic inflammation, alters normal tissue metabolism, leads to genotoxicity and weakens the immune response to bacterial malnutrition, thereby adversely impacting cancer treatment.

BioSyst., 2013, gene cluster from Streptoalloteichus sp. ATCC 53650 9, 478 revealing new insights into biosynthesis of the enediyne family of antitumor antibiotics† Jeremy R. Lohman,a Sheng-Xiong Huang,a Geoffrey P. Horsman,b Paul E. Dilfer,a Tingting Huang,a Yihua Chen,b Evelyn Wendt-Pienkowskib and Ben Shenz*abcd Enediyne natural product biosynthesis is characterized by a convergence of multiple pathways, generating unique peripheral moieties that are appended onto the distinctive enediyne core. Kedarcidin (KED) possesses two unique peripheral moieties, a (R)-2-aza-3-chloro-b-tyrosine and an iso- propoxy-bearing 2-naphthonate moiety, as well as two deoxysugars. The appendage pattern of these peripheral moieties to the enediyne core in KED differs from the other enediynes studied to date with respect to stereochemical configuration. To investigate the biosynthesis of these moieties and expand our understanding of enediyne core formation, the biosynthetic gene cluster for KED was cloned from Streptoalloteichus sp. ATCC 53650 and sequenced. Bioinformatics analysis of the ked cluster revealed the presence of the conserved genes encoding for enediyne core biosynthesis, type I and type II polyketide synthase loci likely responsible for 2-aza-L-tyrosine and 3,6,8-trihydroxy-2-naphthonate Received 16th November 2012, formation, and enzymes known for deoxysugar biosynthesis.

In addition to the use of interferon in the treatment of cancer (1, 11, 12, 29, 34), combination Bleomycin, vincristine, or mitomycin C, when added to HeLa chemotherapy of interferon and methotrexate, c/s-platinum diam- cells simultaneously with human fibroblast interferon (IFN-0), minedichloride, cyclophosphamide, or 1,3-bis(/i-chloroethyl)-1- caused a decrease in cell density and inhibited DMA synthesis nitrosourea on either tumor cells in culture or in leukemic mice compared with HeLa cells treated with IFN-/3 alone. However, has been reported (5, 7, 10, 25). Furthermore, Stolfi ef al. (37) the IFN-0-induced antiviral processes were unaffected by the reported recently that the administration of mouse interferon to presence of these drugs as determined by in vitro enzyme assays mice following the administration of 5-fluorouracil protected the and the development of the antiviral state in the intact HeLa cell. mice from mortality. Because it is possible to selectively inhibit HeLa cells treated with IFN-/Õalone or with IFN-/3 in combination proliferation of tumor cells with chemotherapeutic drugs, we with bleomycin, vincristine, or mitomycin C were able to induce reasoned that the ability of the normal cell to maintain the antiviral the double-stranded RNA-dependent adenosine triphos- phate:2',5'-oligoadenylic acid adenyltransferase (EC 2.2.2.-) and state might be adversely affected by such drugs and that the antiproliferative action of interferons might affect the activity of the double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase.

    EFFORTS TOWARD THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF MITOMYCINS by ANNE VIALETTES Ingénieur de l’École Supérieure de Chimie, Physique Électronique de Lyon, spécialité: Chimie - Chimie des Procédés, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Chemistry) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) May 2009 © Anne Vialettes, 2009 ABSTRACT This thesis describes our efforts toward the total synthesis of mitomycins. The centerpiece of our route to the target molecule is a homo-Brook mediated aziridine fragmentation, developed in our laboratory. The aziridine moiety of the target molecule was installed through an intramolecular iodoamidification of an olefin. The crystalline triazoline intermediate, available before the homo-Brook rearrangement, was obtained after Reetz allylation on an aldehyde followed by a intramolecular 1,3-diploar cycloaddition of an azido unit onto a terminal olefin. The aldehyde intermediate was synthesized in 9 steps involving a Mitsunobu reaction, a Claisen rearrangement and a Lemieux-Johnson oxidation from readily commercially available products. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................................ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ..................................................................................................................iii LIST OF FIGURES .........................................................................................................................
