Structure Elucidation and Anticancer Activity of 7-Oxostaurosporine Derivatives from the Brazilian Endemic Tunicate Eudistoma vannamei
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study reports the identification of two new staurosporine derivatives, 2-hydroxy-7-oxostaurosporine (1) and 3-hydroxy-7-oxostaurosporine (2), obtained from mid-polar fractions of an aqueous methanol extract of the tunicate Eudistoma vannamei, endemic to the northeast coast of Brazil. The mixture of 1 and 2 displayed IC₅₀ values in the nM range and was up to 14 times more cytotoxic than staurosporine across a panel of tumor cell lines, as evaluated using the MTT assay.

متن کاملStaurosporine derivatives reverse multidrug resistance without correlation with their protein kinase inhibitory activities.
Staurosporine, a potent inhibitor of protein kinases, has been reported to increase the accumulation of vincristine in multidrug-resistant (MDR) tumor cells and to bind P-glycoprotein, which works as an effluxpump in the plasma membrane of MDRcells1}. We have recently reported that N-ethoxycarbonyl-7-oxostaurosporine (NA-382) which has a low but selective inhibitory activity on protein kinase C...
