1. Inhibition of transcription factor NF-kappaB signaling proteins IKKbeta and p65 through specific cysteine residues by epoxyquinone A monomer: correlation with its anti-cancer cell growth activity
Mei-Chih Liang, Sujata Bardhan, Emily A Pace, Diana Rosman, John A Beutler, John A Porco Jr, Thomas D Gilmore Biochem Pharmacol. 2006 Feb 28;71(5):634-45. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2005.11.013. Epub 2005 Dec 19.
Transcription factor NF-kappaB is constitutively active in many human chronic inflammatory diseases and cancers. Epoxyquinone A monomer (EqM), a synthetic derivative of the natural product epoxyquinol A, has previously been shown to be a potent inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced activation of NF-kappaB, but the mechanism by which EqM inhibits NF-kappaB activation was not known. In this report, we show that EqM blocks activation of NF-kappaB by inhibiting two molecular targets: IkappaB kinase IKKbeta and NF-kappaB subunit p65. EqM inhibits TNF-alpha-induced IkappaBalpha phosphorylation and degradation by targeting IKKbeta, and an alanine substitution for Cys179 in the activation loop of IKKbeta makes it resistant to EqM-mediated inhibition. EqM also directly inhibits DNA binding by p65, but not p50; moreover, replacement of Cys38 in p65 with Ser abolishes EqM-mediated inhibition of DNA binding. Pretreatment of cells with reducing agent dithiothreitol dose-dependently reduces EqM-mediated inhibition of NF-kappaB, further suggesting that EqM directly modifies the thiol group of Cys residues in protein targets. Modifications of the exocyclic alkene of EqM substantially reduce EqM's ability to inhibit NF-kappaB activation. In the human SUDHL-4 lymphoma cell line, EqM inhibits both proliferation and NF-kappaB DNA binding, and activates caspase-3 activity. EqM also effectively inhibits the growth of human leukemia, kidney, and colon cancer cell lines in the NCI's tumor cell panel. Among six colon cancer cell lines, those with low amounts of constitutive NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity are generally more sensitive to growth inhibition by EqM. Taken together, these results suggest that EqM inhibits growth and induces cell death in tumor cells through a mechanism that involves inhibition of NF-kappaB activity at multiple steps in the signaling pathway.
2. Synthesis of epoxyquinol A and related molecules: probing chemical reactivity of epoxyquinol dimers and 2H-pyran precursors
Chaomin Li, John A Porco Jr J Org Chem. 2005 Jul 22;70(15):6053-65. doi: 10.1021/jo050897o.
Total syntheses of the epoxyquinoid dimers, epoxyquinols A, B, and epoxytwinol A (RKB-3564 D), have been accomplished employing [4 + 2] and [4 + 4] dimerization of 2H-pyran epoxyquinol monomers. Modifications of 2H-pyran precursors have been explored, including alteration of epoxy alcohol and diene stereochemistry. A stable 2H-pyran prepared by alteration of the epoxyquinol 2H-pyran nucleus was evaluated as a diene in Diels-Alder cycloaddition with reactive dienophiles. Extensive studies for improving the [4 + 4] dimerization of selectively protected 2H-pyran monomers to afford the novel epoxyquinoid dimer epoxytwinol A were carried out, and valuable insight regarding competitive [4 + 2] and [4 + 4] dimerization processes has been obtained. In addition, chemical reactivities and structural modifications of epoxyquinol dimers have been evaluated, including [2 + 2] photocycloaddition and [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, indicating the possibility for production of novel structural diversity from dimeric epoxyquinoid natural product frameworks.
3. Biosynthetic origins of the epoxyquinone skeleton in epoxyquinols A and B
Katsuki Fujita, Fumihiro Ishikawa, Hideaki Kakeya J Nat Prod. 2014 Dec 26;77(12):2707-10. doi: 10.1021/np5004615. Epub 2014 Dec 3.
The biosynthetic origins of epoxyquinols A (1) and B (2) produced by an unidentified fungus have attracted considerable interest because these compounds could be assembled from a biosynthetic precursor, epoxycyclohexenone aldehyde (3), via an electrocyclization/intermolecular Diels-Alder dimerization cascade reaction. Furthermore, very little is known about the biosynthetic origins of naturally occurring epoxyquinone moieties. We herein describe the incorporation of (13)C at specific positions within the structure of a shunt product, epoxycyclohexenone (4), using stable isotope feeding experiments with sodium [1-(13)C]-acetate and sodium [1,2-(13)C2]-acetate. The results of these experiments strongly suggest that the epoxyquinone skeleton is assembled by a polyketide synthase.
