Popis: | After publication of karlotoxin 2 (KmTx2; 1), the harmful algal bloom dinoflagellate Karlodinium sp. was collected and scrutinized to identify additional biologically active complex polyketides. The structure of 1 was validated and revised at C49 using computational NMR tools including J-based configurational analysis and chemical-shift calculations. The characterization of two new compounds [KmTx8 (2) and KmTx9 (3)] was achieved through overlaid 2D HSQC NMR techniques, while the relative configurations were determined by comparison to 1 and computational chemical-shift calculations. The detailed evaluation of 2 using the NCI-60 cell lines, NMR binding studies, and an assessment of the literature supports a mode of action (MoA) for targeting cancer-cell membranes, especially of cytostatic tumors. This MoA is uniquely different from that of current agents employed in the control of cancers for which 2 shows sensitivity. |
