Popis: Linderapyrone, a Wnt signal inhibitor was isolated from the methanolic extract of the stems and twigs of Lindera umbellata together with epi-(-)-linderol A. Linderapyrone inhibited TCF/β-catenin transcriptional activity that was evaluated using cell-based TOPFlash luciferase assay system. To evaluate the structure-activity relationship and mechanism, we synthesized linderapyrone and its derivatives from piperitone. As the results of further bioassay for synthesized compounds, we found both of pyrone and monoterpene moieties were necessary for inhibitory effect. cDNA microarray analysis in a linderapyrone derivative treated human colorectal cancer cells showed that this compound downregulates Wnt signaling pathway. Moreover, we successes to synthesize the derivative of linderapyrone that has stronger inhibitory effect than linderapyrone and ICG-001 (positive control).
