AAA ATPases as therapeutic targets: Structure, functions, and small-molecule inhibitors.
ATPases Associated with Diverse Cellular Activity (AAA ATPase) are essential enzymes found in all organisms. They are involved in various processes such as DNA replication, protein degradation, membrane fusion, microtubule serving, peroxisome biogenesis, signal transduction, and the regulation of gene expression. Due to the importance of AAA ATPases, several researchers identified and developed small-molecule inhibitors against these enzymes. We discuss six AAA ATPases that are potential drug targets and have well-developed inhibitors. We compare available structures that suggest significant differences of the ATP binding pockets among the AAA ATPases with or without ligand. The distances from ADP to the His20 in the His-Ser-His motif and the Arg finger (Arg353 or Arg378) in both RUVBL1/2 complex structures bound with or without ADP have significant differences, suggesting dramatically different interactions of the binding site with ADP. Taken together, the inhibitors of six well-studied AAA ATPases and their structural information suggest further development of specific AAA ATPase inhibitors due to difference in their structures. Future chemical biology coupled with proteomic approaches could be employed to develop variant specific, complex specific, and pathway specific inhibitors or activators for AAA ATPase proteins.

A new curvularin glycoside and its cytotoxic and antibacterial analogues from marine actinomycete Pseudonocardia sp. HS7.
Five curvularin macrolides (1-5) were isolated from the cultured broth of marine actinomycete Pseudonocardia sp. HS7 that was obtained from the cloacal aperture of sea cucumber Holothuria moebii. The structures of these isolates were characterized as (11S,15R)-11-hydroxycurvularin (1), (11R,15R)-11-hydroxycurvularin (2), curvularin-7-O-α-D-glucopyranoside (3), trans-dehydrocurvularin (4) and curvularin (5) based on their NMR and HRESIMS data as well as chemical degradation. Compound 3 is a new macrolide with a rare α-D-glucopyranose substituent. Compounds 1-4, 5a and 5c (the acyl products of 5), suppressed the proliferation of all six tested cancer cell lines and 4 is the most active compound with IC50 values ranging from 0.59 to 3.39 μM. The 11-hydroxycurvularins 1 and 2 also showed antibacterial activity inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli.

Antioxidant activities and phenolics of fermented Bletilla formosana with eight plant pathogen fungi.
The tubers of Bletilla formosana were fermented with eight plant pathogen fungi, respectively, and antioxidant activities and total phenolic content (TPC) of the crude extracts of fermented products and non-fermented products were investigated. The antioxidant activities were evaluated in three different test systems [DPPH, ABTS radical-scavenging activity, and ferric reducing-antioxidant power (FRAP)]. It was found that the extract of Helminthosporium maydis fermented B. formosana (FBF) possessed the highest TPC and exhibited a significant antioxidant activity compared with non-fermented product and other fermented products. Correlation analysis between antioxidant activities and TPC was also investigated. The good correlation between antioxidant activities and TPC revealed that the phenolic compounds might be the major contributors for the high antioxidant activities of the fermented B. formosana. Two phenolic compounds, curvularin and dehydrocurvularin, were isolated from H. maydis FBF, which had never been reported from plant of orchidaceae or H. maydis. Curvularin exhibited significant antioxidant activities, and was also present at a high concentration (0.373 mg/mg extract sample), implying an important role for the antioxidant activity of H. maydis FBF. This study suggested that proper fermentation processing could improve TPC and antioxidant activities of B. formosana.

Sulfur-containing cytotoxic curvularin macrolides from Penicillium sumatrense MA-92, a fungus obtained from the rhizosphere of the mangrove Lumnitzera racemosa.
Sumalarins A-C (1-3), the new and rare examples of sulfur-containing curvularin derivatives, along with three known analogues (4-6), were isolated and identified from the cytotoxic extract of Penicillium sumatrense MA-92, a fungus obtained from the rhizosphere of the mangrove Lumnitzera racemosa . Their structures were established by detailed interpretation of NMR and MS data, and compound 1 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Compounds 1-3 and 5 showed potent cytotoxicity against some of the tested tumor cell lines. Sulfur substitution at C-11 or a double bond at C-10 significantly increased the cytotoxic activities of the curvularin analogues.

Inhibition of TGF-β signaling by the fungal lactones (S)-curvularin, dehydrocurvularin, oxacyclododecindione and galiellalactone.
TGF-β is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and extracellular matrix production. Deregulation of TGF-β production or signaling plays a pivotal role in a variety of pathological processes such as cancer, metastasis, angiogenesis and fibrosis. Therefore, TGF-β inhibitors should be promising therapeutic agents for the suppression of cancer progression and metastasis as well as fibrotic disorders. In a screening program of natural compounds from fungi inhibiting the TGF-β dependent expression of a reporter gene in HepG2 cells, we found that the fungal lactones (S)-curvularin, dehydrocurvularin, oxacyclododecindione and galiellalactone inhibited the binding of the activated Smad2/3 transcription factors to the DNA and antagonized the cellular effects of TGF-β including reporter gene activation and expression of TGF-β induced genes in HepG2 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The most active compound oxacyclododecindione inhibited TGF-β dependent reporter activity with IC50-values of 190-217 nM. In an in vitro angiogenesis assay, the fungal lactones strongly decreased the formation of capillary-like tubules of MDA-MB-231 cells on Matrigel.

A concise synthetic approach to beta,gamma-dehydrocurvularin: synthesis of (+/-)-di-O-methyl-beta,gamma-dehydrocurvularin.
A concise synthesis of di-O-methyl-beta,gamma-dehydrocurvularin, the di-O-methylated derivative of the naturally occurring nematicidal macrolide, beta,gamma-dehydrocurvuralin, was accomplished by starting from a commercially available aromatic carboxylic acid in a three-step sequence consisting of esterification, Friedel-Crafts acylation, and microwave-promoted ring-closing metathesis.
