Target-directed enediynes: designed estramycins.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of selective targeting of enediyne cytotoxins has been investigated using estrogenic delivery vehicles. A series of estrogen-enediyne conjugates were assembled, and affinity for human estrogen receptor [hERalpha] was determined. The most promising candidate induced receptor degradation following Bergman cycloaromatization and caused inhibition of estrogen-induced transcription in T47-D human breast cancer cells.

Cell-specific regulation of apoptosis by designed enediynes.
The naturally occurring enediyne antibiotics are a unique class of antitumor drugs that combine reactive enediynes with additional structural features conferring affinity for DNA. Dynemicin A, in which an enediyne core is attached to an anthraquinone group capable of DNA intercalation, readily cleaves double-stranded DNA. This activity is thought to be the basis of its potent antitumor cytotoxi...
متن کاملRapid Bergman Cyclization of 1,2-Diethynylheteroarenes
The synthesis and cyclization of acyclic quinoxaline, pyridine, and pyrimidine enediynes (1-3) are described. These compounds were prepared using palladium(0) coupling of trimethylsilyl acetylene to o-dihaloor o-halotriflic heteroarenes. All compounds were prepared in modest to good yields. The enediynes prepared were shown to undergo Bergman cyclization. Kinetics over a minimum of 3 half-lives...
متن کاملSynthesis of -Lactam Fused Enediynes by Intramolecular Kinugasa Reaction: Comparison of Reactivity with Monocyclic Analogues
-lactam fused enediynes have been successfully synthesized by intramolecular Kinugasa reaction in moderate yields. DSC studies indicated significant influence of the -lactam ring upon the reactivity of enediynes. None of the -lactam fused enediynes (under ring opening conditions) as well as the 11-membered monocyclic enediyne as the tosylate salt showed any cleavage of plasmid DNA. Interestingl...
متن کاملResistance to enediyne antitumor antibiotics by CalC self-sacrifice.
Antibiotic self-resistance mechanisms, which include drug elimination, drug modification, target modification, and drug sequestration, contribute substantially to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria. Enediynes are among the most potent naturally occurring antibiotics, yet the mechanism of resistance to these toxins has remained a mystery. We characterize an en...
متن کاملC1-c5 photochemical cyclization of enediynes.
This study reports a new photochemical cyclization of tetrafluoropyridinyl (TFP)-substituted enediynes that is accompanied with four formal hydrogen-atom abstractions from organic substrates and is mechanistically different from the Bergman cyclization.
