Description

Porfiromycin is a quinone antibiotic produced by Str. ardus NRRL 2817. It has anti-Gram-positive and negative bacteria activity. It can inhibit sarcoma-180, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, L-1210, H leukemia (solid type). The dose of inhibiting KB cell protein synthesis is 0.5 μg/mL. It is a bioreductive DNA alkylating agent that preferentially kills hypoxic tumor cells relative to other aerobic counterparts.

1.Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy with mitomycin C compared with porfiromycin in squamous cell cancer of the head and neck: final results of a randomized clinical trial.
Haffty BG1, Wilson LD, Son YH, Cho EI, Papac RJ, Fischer DB, Rockwell S, Sartorelli AC, Ross DA, Sasaki CT, Fischer JJ. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2005 Jan 1;61(1):119-28.
PURPOSE: Previous randomized trials have shown a benefit with concurrent use of the hypoxic cell cytotoxin mitomycin C (MC) and radiation (RT) in the management of squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (SCCHN). We conducted a randomized trial comparing MC with porfiromycin (POR) in combination with RT in the management of SCCHN.
2.Cyclic disulfide C8 iminoporfiromycin: nucleophilic activation of a porfiromycin.
Lee SH1, Kohn H. J Am Chem Soc. 2004 Apr 7;126(13):4281-92.
The clinical success of mitomycin C (1) and its associated toxicities and resistance have led to efforts to prepare semisynthetic analogues (i.e., KW-2149 (3), BMS-181174 (4)) that have improved pharmacological profiles. In this study, we report the preparation and evaluation of the novel 7-N-(1'-amino-4',5'-dithian-2'-yl)porfiromycin C(8) cyclized imine (6) and its reference compound, 7-N-(1'-aminocyclohex-2'-yl)porfiromycin C(8) cyclized imine (13). Porfiromycin 6 contains a disulfide unit that, upon cleavage, may provide thiol(s) that affect drug reactivity. We demonstrated that phosphines dramatically accelerated 6 activation and solvolysis in methanolic solutions ("pH 7.4") compared with 13. Porfiromycins 6 and 13 efficiently cross-linked EcoRI-linearized pBR322 DNA upon addition of Et3P. We found enhanced levels of interstrand cross-link (ISC) adducts for 6 and 13 compared with porfiromycin (7) and that 6 was more efficient than 13.
