Several marine natural linear prenylquinones/hydroquinones have been identified as anticancer and antimutagenic agents. Structure-activity relationship studies on natural compounds and their synthetic analogs demonstrated that these effects depend on the length of the prenyl side chain and on the type and position of the substituent groups in the quinone moiety. Aiming to broaden the knowledge of the underlying mechanism of the antiproliferative effect of these prenylated compounds, herein we report the synthesis of two quinones 4 and 5 and of their corresponding dioxothiazine fused quinones 6 and 7 inspired to the marine natural product aplidinone A (1), a geranylquinone featuring the 1,1-dioxo-1,4-thiazine ring isolated from the ascidian Aplidium conicum. The potential effects on viability and proliferation in three different human cancer cell lines, breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), pancreas adenocarcinoma (Bx-PC3) and bone osteosarcoma (MG-63), were investigated. The methoxylated geranylquinone 5 exerted the highest antiproliferative effect exhibiting a comparable toxicity in all three cell lines analyzed. Interestingly, a deeper investigation has highlighted a cytostatic effect of quinone 5 referable to a G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest in BxPC-3 cells after 24 h treatment.

Insights into Cytotoxic Behavior of Lepadins and Structure Elucidation of the New Alkaloid Lepadin L from the Mediterranean Ascidian Clavelina lepadiformis

Marcello Casertano, Massimo Genovese, Paolo Paoli, Alice Santi, Anna Aiello, Marialuisa Menna, Concetta Imperatore

Summary: The chemical investigation of Clavelina lepadiformis, a Mediterranean ascidian, led to the discovery of a new compound named lepadin L, along with two known metabolites, lepadins A and B. The structure and configuration of lepadin L were determined using HR-ESIMS and NMR spectroscopy. Further analysis showed that lepadin A had strong cytotoxic activity and could inhibit cell migration and clonogenity in A375 cells.

Summary: This study reveals that AML cells disrupt the hematopoietic process of HSPCs by releasing EVs, which alter gene expression and affect the phenotype and function of HSPCs. This communication may contribute to the formation of a leukemic niche favorable for leukemia development.

Synthesis, Chiral Resolution and Enantiomers Absolute Configuration of 4-Nitropropranolol and 7-Nitropropranolol

Summary: Researchers have discovered that the endothelium is capable of nitration of classical catecholamines (dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline) and synthesized 4-nitro- and 7-nitropropranolol as probes to investigate the nitration of propranolol by the endothelium. Chiral HPLC was used to separate the enantiomers with high yields and excellent enantiopurity. Riguera's method, through double derivatization with MPA and NMR studies, was employed to determine the absolute configuration of the enantiomers.

Summary: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex disease characterized by impaired glucose homeostasis and serious long-term complications. The use of multitarget drugs, such as avarone, could be a potential strategy for the treatment of T2DM and its complications. Avarone, a compound obtained from the sponge Dysidea avara, has been found to inhibit PTP1B and aldose reductase, improving insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial activity in cells.

Enhanced Molecular Networking Shows Microbacterium sp. V1 as a Factory of Antioxidant Proline-Rich Peptides

Giovanni Andrea Vitale, Silvia Scarpato, Alfonso Mangoni, Maria Valeria D'Auria, Gerardo Della Sala, Donatella de Pascale

Summary: Two linear proline-rich peptides (1-2) with N-terminal pyroglutamate were isolated from the marine bacterium Microbacterium sp. V1 associated with the marine sponge Petrosia ficiformis collected in Ischia Island. An integrated, untargeted MS/MS-based molecular networking and cheminformatic approach was used to detect these peptides along with others (3-8). Through extensive analysis, the planar structure and stereochemistry of the peptides were determined. Peptides 1 and 2 exhibited antioxidant properties in the FRAP assay.
