摘要
(1S,2E,4S,6R,7E,11E)-2,7,11-Cembratriene-4,6-diol (1) and its 4-epi-analog (2) are the cembranoid precursors to several key flavor ingredients in most Nicotiana (tobacco) species. Nearly 40-60% of 1 and 2 are purposely degraded during the commercial tobacco fermentation. However, 1 and 2 display promising bioactivities, including anticancer. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women and ranked second female disease killer. The receptor tyrosine kinase c-Met correlates with aggressiveness of certain breast cancer phenotypes and thus considered a valid therapeutic target. This study reports the discovery and optimization of the tobacco-based cembranoid 1 as a novel c-Met inhibitory scaffold using combined structure- and ligand-based approaches. 1 displayed antiproliferative, anti-migratory and anti-invasive effects against the c-Met overexpressing MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells at moderate μM concentrations. The Z'-LYTE kinase platform and Western blot analysis identified c-Met as a potential macromolecular target. Rationally designed carbamate analogs were proposed to probe additional targeted c-Met interactions and improve the cellular potency. The 6-phenyl carbamate 3 showed enhanced c-Met inhibitory activity. Structure-activity relationships of different substituents on the 3's phenyl moiety were studied. The most active analog 20 showed potent in vitro anticancer activity against the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells at low μM concentrations, with minimal toxicity on the non-tumorigenic MCF-10A mammary epithelial cells. Cembranoid 20 potently inhibited the c-Met catalytic activity in Z'-LYTE kinase assay and various cellular c-Met-driven signaling pathways. Furthermore, 20 displayed a robust antitumor activity in a breast cancer xenograft athymic mouse model and thus promoted to the lead rank. Cembranoids are novel c-Met inhibitors appropriate for future use to control c-Met dependent malignancies.
