Evaluation of a number of cytotoxic antitumor sesquiterpene lactones and their derivatives has led to the discovery of bis(helenalinyl)glutarate (4) and bis(isoalantodiol-B)glutarate (10) as potent inhibitors of human-derived topoisomerase II. Unlike etoposide, which inhibits by preventing the DNA rejoining process, compounds 4 and 10 inhibit topoisomerase II without causing DNA breakage. The structure-activity relationships of 4, 10, and related compounds are discussed.
对多种细胞毒性抗肿瘤倍半萜内酯及其衍生物的评估,促成了戊二酸双(海伦内酯基)酯(4)和戊二酸双(异土木香二醇-B)酯(10)作为人源拓扑异构酶II的有效抑制剂的发现。与依托泊苷通过阻止DNA重新连接过程发挥抑制作用不同,化合物4和10抑制拓扑异构酶II但不会导致DNA断裂。讨论了化合物4、10及相关化合物的构效关系。
