Synthesis and biological activity study of the retro-isomer of RhTx against TRPV1.

ABSTRACT: TRPV1 is a ligand-gated ion channel and plays an important role in detecting noxious heat and pain with an unknown mechanism. RhTx from Chinese red-headed centipede activates the TRPV1 channel through the heat activation pathway by binding to the outer pore region, and causes extreme pain. Here, we synthesized RhTx and its retro-isomer RL-RhTx. Their structures were investigated by their circular dichroic spectra and NMR spectra. The effect of RhTx and RL-RhTx on the currents of wild-type and mutants of TRPV1 indicated that RL-RhTx have comparable TRPV1 activation responses to RhTx. A mutagenesis study showed that four TRPV1 residues, including Leu461, Asp602, Tyr632 and Thr634, significantly contributed to the activation effects of RL-RhTx and RhTx, and both peptides probably bind with TRPV1 in similar binding modes. As a novel TRPV1 activator, RL-RhTx provides an essential powerful tool for the investigation of activation mechanisms of TRPV1.

Project description:A series of novel 3,9-disubstituted acridines were synthesized and their biological potential was investigated. The synthetic plan consists of eight reaction steps, which produce the final products, derivatives 17a-17j, in a moderate yield. The principles of cheminformatics and computational chemistry were applied in order to study the relationship between the physicochemical properties of the 3,9-disubstituted acridines and their biological activity at a cellular and molecular level. The selected 3,9-disubstituted acridine derivatives were studied in the presence of DNA using spectroscopic (UV-Vis, circular dichroism, and thermal denaturation) and electrophoretic (nuclease activity, relaxation and unwinding assays for topoisomerase I and decatenation assay for topoisomerase IIα) methods. Binding constants (2.81-9.03 × 104 M-1) were calculated for the derivatives from the results of the absorption titration spectra. The derivatives were found to have caused the inhibition of both topoisomerase I and topoisomerase IIα. Molecular docking simulations suggested a different way in which the acridines 17a-17j can interact with topoisomerase I versus topoisomerase IIα. A strong correlation between the lipophilicity of the derivatives and their ability to stabilize the intercalation complex was identified for all of the studied agents. Acridines 17a-17j were also subjected to in vitro screening conducted by the Developmental Therapeutic Program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) against a panel of 60 cancer cell lines. The strongest biological activity was displayed by aniline acridine 17a (MCF7-GI50 18.6 nM) and N,N-dimethylaniline acridine 17b (SR-GI50 38.0 nM). The relationship between the cytostatic activity of the most active substances (derivatives 17a, 17b, and 17e-17h) and their values of KB, LogP, ΔS°, and δ was also investigated. Due to the fact that a significant correlation was only found in the case of charge density, δ, it is possible to assume that the cytostatic effect might be dependent upon the structural specificity of the acridine derivatives.
