RN1, a polysaccharide from flowers of Wall. Var. (Burkill) Hoo & Tseng, is a potential multi-targeting drug candidate for pancreatic cancer treatment. However, the active targeting domain of RN1 is still unknown. Herein, three RN1 derived branches were synthesized via [3+2] or [2+2] strategies, efficiently. Two pentasaccharides, and , showed similar inhibition effect on pancreatic cancer BxPC-3 cells to that of RN1 at same concentration. Interestingly, tetrasaccharide potently inhibited gemcitabineresistant cell line Panc-1 at high concentration. These suggest that the branches of RN1 might be the active targeting domain and tetrasaccharide might be a potential leading compound for pancreatic cancer with gemcitabine resistance.
RN1是从罗汉果(Wall. Var. (Burkill) Hoo & Tseng)花中提取的一种多糖,是一种有潜力的用于治疗胰腺癌的多靶点候选药物。然而,RN1的活性靶向结构域仍不清楚。在此,通过[3+2]或[2+2]策略高效合成了三个源自RN1的分支。两种五糖,[具体五糖名称1]和[具体五糖名称2],在相同浓度下对胰腺癌BxPC-3细胞的抑制作用与RN1相似。有趣的是,四糖[具体四糖名称]在高浓度时能有效抑制吉西他滨耐药细胞系Panc-1。这些表明RN1的分支可能是活性靶向结构域,四糖[具体四糖名称]可能是一种针对吉西他滨耐药胰腺癌的潜在先导化合物。
