Neuartige Wirkstoffe gegen Infektionskrankheiten : N,C-gekuppelte Naphthylisochinolin-Alkaloide
(2008)
Infektionskrankheiten sind nach wie vor weltweit die Todesursache Nummer eins. Aufgrund der zunehmenden Resistenzbildung der Erreger gegen gängige Medikamente verlieren diese immer mehr an Wirksamkeit und bereits besiegt geglaubte Krankheiten, wie Tuberkulose und Malaria, erleben derzeit ein comeback. Aus diesem Grund ist die Suche nach neuartigen Wirkstoffen nach wie vor ein wichtiges Ziel. Eine aussichtsreiche Quelle neuer Leitstrukturen gegen Infektionskrankheiten sind Pflanzen, die ein breites Spektrum an strukturell facettenreichen Sekundärmetaboliten bieten. Eine solche viel versprechende neue Wirkstoffklasse phytochemischen Ursprungs sind die Naphthylisochinolin-Alkaloide, die ausgeprägte In-vitro-Aktivitäten gegen protozoische Erreger wie Plasmodien, Leishmanien und Trypanosomen aufweisen. Kürzlich wurde eine neuartige Unterklasse dieser Alkaloide entdeckt. Es handelte sich dabei um die ersten N,C-verknüpften Naphthylisochinoline, wie z.B. Ancisheynin sowie Ancistrocladinium A und B . Diese Alkaloide weisen als strukturelle Besonderheit eine bis dato beispiellose Hetero-'Biarylachse' auf, genauer die erste rotationsgehinderte Iminium-Stickstoff-Arylachse. Des Weiteren zeichnen sie sich durch eine hohe antileishmaniale Aktivitäten aus, bei vergleichsweise geringen Cytotoxizitäten gegen menschliche Zellen. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation war daher die erstmalige totalsynthetische Erschließung dieser neuartigen Strukturunterklasse der Naphthylisochinoline. Ebenfalls sollte die ausgezeichnete antiinfektive Aktivität der N,C-verknüpften Alkaloide in Studien zur Struktur-Aktivitäts-Beziehung (SAR) sowie in Untersuchungen zum Wirkmechanismus in enger Zusammenarbeit mit unseren Partnern innerhalb des Sonderforschungsbereiches 630 sowie mit externen Kooperationspartnern evaluiert werden.
Background: Xenobiotics represent an environmental stress and as such are a source for antibiotics, including the isoquinoline (IQ) compound IQ-143. Here, we demonstrate the utility of complementary analysis of both host and pathogen datasets in assessing bacterial adaptation to IQ-143, a synthetic analog of the novel type N,C-coupled naphthyl-isoquinoline alkaloid ancisheynine. Results: Metabolite measurements, gene expression data and functional assays were combined with metabolic modeling to assess the effects of IQ-143 on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and human cell lines, as a potential paradigm for novel antibiotics. Genome annotation and PCR validation identified novel enzymes in the primary metabolism of staphylococci. Gene expression response analysis and metabolic modeling demonstrated the adaptation of enzymes to IQ-143, including those not affected by significant gene expression changes. At lower concentrations, IQ-143 was bacteriostatic, and at higher concentrations bactericidal, while the analysis suggested that the mode of action was a direct interference in nucleotide and energy metabolism. Experiments in human cell lines supported the conclusions from pathway modeling and found that IQ-143 had low cytotoxicity. Conclusions: The data suggest that IQ-143 is a promising lead compound for antibiotic therapy against staphylococci. The combination of gene expression and metabolite analyses with in silico modeling of metabolite pathways allowed us to study metabolic adaptations in detail and can be used for the evaluation of metabolic effects of other xenobiotics.
Four new tetromycin derivatives, tetromycins 1-4 and a previously known one, tetromycin B (5) were isolated from Streptomyces axinellae Pol001(T) cultivated from the Mediterranean sponge Axinella polypoides. Structures were assigned using extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy as well as HRESIMS analysis. The compounds were tested for antiparasitic activities against Leishmania major and Trypanosoma brucei, and for protease inhibition against several cysteine proteases such as falcipain, rhodesain, cathepsin L, cathepsin B, and viral proteases SARS-CoV M(pro), and PL(pro). The compounds showed antiparasitic activities against T. brucei and time-dependent inhibition of cathepsin L-like proteases with K(i) values in the low micromolar range.
