Popis: Apoptolidin A has been described as among the top 0.1% most cell selective cytotoxic agents to be evaluated in the NCI 60 cell line panel. The molecular structure of apoptolidin A consists of a 20-membered macrolide with mono- and disaccharide moieties located at C9 and C27, respectively. In contrast to apoptolidin A, the aglycone (apoptolidinone) shows no cytotoxicity (>10 μM) when evaluated against several tumor cell lines. Apoptolidin H, the C27 deglycosylated analog of apoptolidin A, was produced by targeted glycosyl transferase gene deletion and displayed sub-micromolar activity against H292 lung carcinoma cells. Selective esterification of the C2′ hydroxyl group of apoptolidins A and H with 5-azidopentanoic acid afforded azido functionalized derivatives of potency equal to their parent macrolide. Azido apoptolidins readily underwent strain-promoted alkyne azido cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions to provide access to fluorescent and biotin functionalized probes. Microscopy studies demonstrate apoptolidins A and H localize in the mitochondria of H292 human lung carcinoma cells.
