Synthesis and Anti-tumor Activity of Novel Amide Derivatives of Ursolic Acid

Ursolic acid was modified at C3 and C28 position to obtain fourteen derivatives including twelve novel compounds, and their chemical structures were characterized by IR, ^1H NMR and MS. Cell growth inhibitory effects of the derivatives against Hela cell were evaluated by MTT assay. All these derivatives were found to have stronger cell growth inhibitory than their parent compound, ursolic acid. The derivatives with a substituted acetyl group at C3 hydroxyl group show better activities than those with an unsubstituted hydroxyl group.

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of novel curcumin analogues

Five novel curcumin analogues bearing different substituents at 4-position of phenyl group were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by NMR and HRMS spectrum. Their cytotoxic activities against six tumor cell lines were tested by the standard MTT assay in vitro. The results indicated that four analogues （1A-1C, 1E） with solubilizing moieties showed selective potent cytotoxicity against HepG2, HeLa and CT26 cell lines, and analogue 1A and 1C exhibited more potent cytotoxicity than curcumin against CT26 cell line. It was suggested that introduction of appropriate substituents to 4-position of phenyl group might be a potential option for structural modification of curcumin.

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of benzoheterocyclic compounds via solid-state melt reaction (SSMR)

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of biologically active benzoheterocyclic compounds such as benzothiazoles, benzimidazoles, benzospirothiazoles, and quinoxaline scaffolds have been accomplished via solid state melt reaction (SSMR) with excellent yields. The new protocol does not require any catalyst, solvent, and workup. Two anti-tumor agents have been prepared to demonstrate the application of this new method.     

New STAT3 inhibitor through biotransformation of celastrol by Streptomyces olivaceus CICC 23628

In this study, celastrol (CEL) microbial transformation was performed by Streptomyces olivaceus CICC 23628 for the first time. Two new friedelanes derivatives (CEL-1 and CEL-2) as metabolites were isolated, and their structures were elucidated based on the NMR and HR-MS analysis. Then we investigated their anti-proliferation activities in three human cancer cell lines (A549, HCT-116, HepG2) in vitro. Mechanistic studies showed that CEL-2 could induce cell apoptosis and block cell-cycle on HCT-116 cells. The western blotting analysis showed that CEL-2 could suppress the STAT3′s phosphorylation as well as its downstream genes. Furthermore, SPR analysis revealed that CEL-2 could direct bind with STAT3 protein. These studies suggest that the derivative CEL-2 may exert an anti-colorectal cancer effect via inhibiting STAT3, thereby inducing apoptosis and blocking cell-cycle. Finally, we further verified the anti-tumor effect of CEL-2 on the colorectal cancer organoid model. Our researches suggest that the biotransformation of celastrol is a potential approach to discovering new STAT3 inhibitors as anti-tumor agent.
