The extract of marine sponge Hyrtios communis was found to inhibit activation of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in T47D human breast tumor cells. Bioassay-guided isolation led to the identification of six new (1-6) and five previously reported (7-11) sesterterpene analogues and two unrelated sesterterpenes. Two new sesterterpenes, thorectidaeolide A (1) and 4-acetoxythorectidaeolide A (2), and luffariellolide (11) were among the most potent inhibitors of hypoxia (1% O₂)-induced HIF-1 activation (IC₅₀ values of 3.2, 3.5, and 3.6 μM, respectively). Luffariellolide (11) exhibited a significant level of cytotoxicity that mirrored its HIF-1 inhibitory activity. Neither compound 1, compound 2, nor any of the other less active sesterterpenes suppressed breast tumor T47D or MDA-MB-231 cell viability.
从海洋海绵 Hyrtios communis 中提取的物质被发现可以抑制 T47D 人乳腺癌肿瘤细胞中转录因子缺氧诱导因子-1(HIF-1)的激活。基于生物测定的分离导致了六种新的(1-6)和五种先前报道的(7-11)甾体类似物以及两种不相关的甾体的鉴定。两种新的甾体,thorectidaeolide A(1)和 4-acetoxythorectidaeolide A(2)以及 luffariellolide(11)是缺氧(1% O₂)诱导的 HIF-1 激活的最强抑制剂之一(IC₅₀ 值分别为 3.2、3.5 和 3.6 μM)。Luffariellolide(11)表现出与其 HIF-1 抑制活性相当的显著细胞毒性。化合物 1、化合物 2 以及任何其他活性较低的甾体都没有抑制乳腺癌 T47D 或 MDA-MB-231 细胞活力。
