1. Antiviral therapy: nucleotide and nucleoside analogs
David J Quan, Marion G Peters Clin Liver Dis. 2004 May;8(2):371-85. doi: 10.1016/j.cld.2004.02.012.
For the management of HBV infection, an increasing number of nucleotide and nucleoside analogs are active against wild-type HBV and some against HBV with YMDD and other compensatory mutations. Table 2 depicts the IC50 and susceptibilities of HBV to various antiviral agents. The dichotomy between in vitro and in vivo susceptibilities to YMDD mutants is due to a change in IC50 between wild-type and mutant virus. Thus a drug may have less activity in vitro but at doses used in vivo show activity against YMDD and other compensatory mutations. Some HBV drugs share activity against HIV, which may be useful in the co-infected patient. Other nucleoside analogs are in various stages of development, including MCC-478 and DAPD. In the future, clinicians will have a plethora of reagents to chose from, and combination therapies may be invoked.
2. Ester derivatives of salinomycin efficiently eliminate breast cancer cells via ER-stress-induced apoptosis
Dominika Kuran, Sylwia Flis, Michał Antoszczak, Marlena Piskorek, Adam Huczyński Eur J Pharmacol. 2021 Feb 15;893:173824. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2020.173824. Epub 2020 Dec 19.
The polyether ionophore salinomycin (SAL) has been found to selectively target breast cancer cells, including those with stem-like phenotype. On the other hand, SAL amides and esters obtained through derivatisation of the C1 carboxyl of the ionophore were found to exhibit anticancer properties, whilst reducing potential toxicity issues which often occur during standard chemotherapy. However, the studies on the activity and especially on the mechanisms of action of this class of semi-synthetic products against breast cancer cells are very limited. Therefore, in this work, we confirmed the anti-breast cancer activity of SAL, and further investigated the potential of its selected C1 amide and ester analogs to destroy breast cancer cells, including the highly aggressive triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cells. Importantly, SAL esters were found to be more potent than the native structure and their amide counterparts. Our data revealed that SAL ester derivatives, particularly compounds 5 and 7 (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl and benzotriazole ester of SAL, respectively), increase the level of p-eIF2α (Ser51) and IRE1α proteins. Additionally, an increased level of DNA damage indicators such as γH2AX protein and modified guanine (8-oxoG) was observed. These findings suggest that the apoptosis of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells induced by the most promising esters derived from SAL may result from the interaction between ER stress and DNA damage response mechanisms.
3. Controlled Synthesis of Polyphosphazenes with Chain-Capping Agents
Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Robert A Montague Molecules. 2021 Jan 10;26(2):322. doi: 10.3390/molecules26020322.
N-alkyl phosphoranimines were synthesized via the Staudinger reaction of four different alkyl azides with tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) phosphite. N-adamantyl, N-benzyl, N-t-butyl, and N-trityl phosphoranimines were thoroughly characterized and evaluated as chain-capping compounds in the anionic polymerization of P-tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-N-trimethylsilyl phosphoranimine monomer. All four compounds reacted with the active chain ends in a bulk polymerization, and the alkyl end groups were identified by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. These compounds effectively controlled the molecular weight of the resulting polyphosphazenes. The chain transfer constants for the monomer and N-benzyl phosphoranimine were determined using Mayo equation.
