1. Dansylcadaverine and cytochalasin D enhance rotavirus infection of murine L cells
D M Bass, M Baylor, C Chen, U Upadhyayula Virology. 1995 Oct 1;212(2):429-37. doi: 10.1006/viro.1995.1500.
Although murine L cells bind and internalize rotavirus as well as permissive cell lines, L cells are essentially nonpermissive for rotaviruses. In nonpermissive cell lines such as L cells, internalized rotavirus fails to uncoat and remains as infectious, double-shelled particles. This block in the infectious cycle can be overcome by direct lipofection of viral particles into the L cell cytoplasm. We hypothesized that the internalized rotavirus particles within L cells are sequestered in the endocytic pathway and are unable to initiate infection. L cells were pretreated with a variety of inhibitors of endocytosis prior to infection with rhesus rotavirus. While agents which inhibit acidification of endosomes had no effect on rotavirus infection, two potential direct inhibitors of vesicular transport, dansylcadaverine and cytochalasin D, enhanced rotavirus infection of L cells 5- to 10-fold. All of the drugs, including both inhibitors of endocytosis and lysosomotrophic agents, significantly reduced infection of L cells by serotype 1 reovirus which is known to infect L cells by the endocytic pathway. Time course studies demonstrated that the drugs were effective in promoting rotavirus infection of L cells in only the early phases of infection. Pretreatment of L cells with dansylcadaverine significantly decreased the number of intact, double-shelled rotavirus particles sequestered within the cells. Inhibition of endocytosis may increase the efficiency of infection of L cells by rotavirus by allowing an increased proportion of attached rotavirus virions to enter cells by a productive route which is probably direct membrane penetration.
2. Effects of cytochalasin E on Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
G Mendes, L M Baltazar, D G Souza, N P Sá, L H Rosa, C A Rosa, E M Souza-Fagundes, J P Ramos, J Alves-Silva, B B Cota, S Johann J Appl Microbiol. 2018 Nov;125(5):1296-1307. doi: 10.1111/jam.14053. Epub 2018 Sep 19.
Aims: To determine the effects of cytochalasin E, isolated from the extremophile fungus Aspergillus felis, on the cells of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Pb18. Methods and results: Cytochalasin E showed a minimal inhibitory concentration of 3·6 μmol l-1 and minimum fungicidal concentration of 7·2 μmol l-1 on P. brasiliensis by in vitro microdilution and IC50 >964·0 μmol l-1 on murine macrophages. Its selectivity index (>263) indicated that this compound has selectivity for fungal cells. Morphological alterations were determined by optical and fluorescence microscopy, as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Cytochalasin E affected P. brasiliensis bud-forming pseudohyphae, cell morphology, cell walls and cell membranes; caused the release of cellular material; and resulted in the production of reactive oxygen species. In murine macrophages, it affected cytoskeletal actin and inhibited phagocytosis. Conclusion: Cytochalasin E may be useful as an antifungal prototype against P. brasiliensis and in studies on phagocytosis. Significance and impact of the study: Paracoccidioides spp. are the etiological agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Treatment is prolonged to control the clinical manifestations and prevent relapse. The study on the effects of cytochalasin E in P. brasiliensis is important because it can be used as a prototype for new antifungal drugs and consequently, broadens the treatment options for PCM.
3. An enantioselective, modular, and general route to the cytochalasins: synthesis of L-696,474 and cytochalasin B
Andrew M Haidle, Andrew G Myers Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2004 Aug 17;101(33):12048-53. doi: 10.1073/pnas.0402111101. Epub 2004 Jun 18.
The cytochalasins are structurally complex natural products with a broad range of apparently unrelated effects in different biological systems. Different members of the family have variously demonstrated inhibitory activity toward the formation of actin filaments, toward the functioning of HIV protease, and toward the process of angiogenesis. The structural series is defined by a largely conserved, rigid bicyclic isoindolone core that is fused to a macrocyclic appendage. The latter structural component varies widely within the cytochalasins and seems to play an important role in the determination of biological activity. In this work, we describe the development of a convergent and enantioselective synthetic route to the cytochalasins that allows for the late-stage introduction of macrocyclic appendages of different sizes and constitutions. We illustrate the route with the synthesis of the 14-membered macrolactone cytochalasin B (1, an inhibitor of the formation of actin filaments) and the 11-membered macrocarbocyclic cytochalasin L-696,474 (2, an inhibitor of HIV protease) by using common precursors.
