1. Determination of the absolute configuration of perylene quinone-derived mycotoxins by measurement and calculation of electronic circular dichroism spectra and specific rotations
Joachim Podlech, Stefanie C Fleck, Manfred Metzler, Jochen Bürck, Anne S Ulrich Chemistry. 2014 Sep 1;20(36):11463-70. doi: 10.1002/chem.201402567. Epub 2014 Jul 23.
Altertoxins I-III, alterlosins I and II, alteichin (alterperylenol), stemphyltoxins I-IV, stemphyperylenol, stemphytriol, 7-epi-8-hydroxyaltertoxin I, and 6-epi-stemphytriol are mycotoxins derived from perylene quinone, for which the absolute configuration was not known. Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra were calculated for these compounds and compared with measured spectra of altertoxins I-III, alteichin, and stemphyltoxin III and with reported Cotton effects. Specific rotations were calculated and compared with reported specific rotations. The absolute configuration of all the toxins, except for stemphyltoxin IV, could thus be determined. The validity of the assignment was high whenever reported ECD data were available for comparison, and the validity was lower when the assignment was based only on the comparison of calculated and reported specific rotations. ECD spectra are intrinsically different for toxins with a biphenyl substructure and for toxins derived from dihydroanthracene.
2. Epoxide reduction to an alcohol: a novel metabolic pathway for perylene quinone-type alternaria mycotoxins in mammalian cells
Stefanie C Fleck, Erika Pfeiffer, Joachim Podlech, Manfred Metzler Chem Res Toxicol. 2014 Feb 17;27(2):247-53. doi: 10.1021/tx400366w. Epub 2014 Jan 27.
The group of perylene quinone-type Alternaria toxins contains several congeners with epoxide groups, for example, altertoxin II (ATX II) and stemphyltoxin III (STTX III). Recent studies in our laboratory have disclosed that the epoxide moieties of ATX II and STTX III are reduced to alcohols in human colon Caco-2 cells, thereby resulting in the formation of altertoxin I (ATX I) and alteichin, respectively. In the present study, this pathway was demonstrated for ATX II in three other mammalian cell lines. Furthermore, the chemical reaction of this toxin with monothiols like glutathione could be shown, and the structures of the reaction products were tentatively elucidated by UV and mass spectrometry. Chemical reaction of ATX II with dithiols capable of forming five- and six-membered rings gave rise to ATX I, thus providing a clue for the molecular mechanism of the epoxide reduction pathway of ATX II. Both epoxide reduction and glutathione conjugation appear to attenuate, but not completely abolish, the genotoxicity of ATX II.
3. Altertoxin II, a Highly Effective and Specific Compound against Ewing Sarcoma
Andrew J Robles, Wentao Dai, Saikat Haldar, Hongyan Ma, Victoria M Anderson, Ross D Overacker, April L Risinger, Sandra Loesgen, Peter J Houghton, Robert H Cichewicz, Susan L Mooberry Cancers (Basel). 2021 Dec 7;13(24):6176. doi: 10.3390/cancers13246176.
A screening program designed to identify natural products with selective cytotoxic effects against cell lines representing different types of pediatric solid tumors led to the identification of altertoxin II as a highly potent and selective cytotoxin against Ewing sarcoma cell lines. Altertoxin II, but not the related compounds altertoxin I and alteichin, was highly effective against every Ewing sarcoma cell line tested, with an average 25-fold selectivity for these cells as compared to cells representing other pediatric and adult cancers. Mechanism of action studies revealed that altertoxin II causes DNA double-strand breaks, a rapid DNA damage response, and cell cycle accumulation in the S phase. Our studies also demonstrate that the potent effects of altertoxin II are partially dependent on the progression through the cell cycle, because the G1 arrest initiated by a CDK4/6 inhibitor decreased antiproliferative potency more than 10 times. Importantly, the cell-type-selective DNA-damaging effects of altertoxin II in Ewing sarcoma cells occur independently of its ability to bind directly to DNA. Ultimately, we found that altertoxin II has a dose-dependent in vivo antitumor efficacy against a Ewing sarcoma xenograft, suggesting that it has potential as a therapeutic drug lead and will be useful to identify novel targets for Ewing-sarcoma-specific therapies.
