Bioinspired computational design of lankacidin derivatives for improvement in antitumor activity

Background: The 17-membered polyketide, lankacidin C, exhibits considerable antitumor activity as a microtubule stabilizer by binding to the paclitaxel binding site. Method: Esterification of the C-7/C-13 hydroxyl in lankacidin C was performed with acetyl, cinnamoyl and hydrocinnamoyl groups and their antitumor activity was assessed to improve the cytotoxicity of lankacidins through bioinspired computational design. Results: Compared with the cytotoxicity of parent lankacidin C against the HeLa cell line, 13-O-cinnamoyl-lankacidin C demonstrated sevenfold higher cytotoxicity. Furthermore, 7,13-di-O-cinnamoyl-lankacidin C exhibited considerable antitumor activity against three tested cell lines. Conclusion: C13-esterification by a cinnamoyl group dramatically improved antitumor activity, in agreement with computational predictions. This finding provides a potential substrate for next-generation lankacidin derivatives with significant antitumor activity.
