Published: June 2010

By use of the fission yeast expressing the model fusion protein comprised of GST, SV40 T antigen NLS, GFP, and Rev-NES in the bioassay, the prenylcoumarin osthol (1) was disclosed as the new Rev-export inhibitor from the MeOH extract of Cnidii Monnieris Fructus. Furthermore, 1 was also found to inhibit export the genuine Rev in HeLa cells by indirect fluorescent antibody technique. By the competitive experiment using the biotinylated probe 3, osthol (1) was revealed to inhibit nuclear export of Rev through a NES non-antagonistic mode. Structure-activity relationship analysis of several analogs of 1 clarified that both prenyl side chain and double bond adjacent to the lactone carbonyl residue play an important role in the Rev-export inhibitory potency of 1.

The concise synthesis of 5,6-dihydrovaltrate (2), the bioisostere of valtrate (1) showing anti-HIV activity by inhibition for nuclear export of Rev, has been achieved from the commercially available iridoid genipin (3). Analysis of steric influence of the substituents linked to the three hydroxyl groups was conducted by the synthesized three analogs (2a-2c). Consequently, attenuation of steric hindrance around the epoxy portion was revealed to enhance inhibitory potency for Rev-export.

In the course of search for the robust analogs of 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA, 1), the Rev-export inhibitor from the medicinal plant Alpinia galanga, we clarified formation of the quinone methide intermediate ii to be essential for exerting the inhibitory activity of 1. Based on this mechanism of action, the rational design from the MO calculation of the conclusive activation energy to ii resulted in the four halogenated analogs with more potent activity than ACA (1). In particular, the difluoroanalog 20d exhibited approximately four-fold potent activity as compared with 1.

Bioassay-guided separation from the MeOH extract of the South American medicinal plant Sida cordifolia resulted in isolation of (10E,12Z)-9-hydroxyoctadeca-10,12-dienoic acid (1) as an unprecedented NES non-antagonistic inhibitor for nuclear export of Rev. This mechanism of action was established by competitive experiment by the biotinylated probe derived from leptomycin B, the known NES antagonistic inhibitor. Additionally, structure-activity relationship analysis by use of the synthesized analogs clarified cooperation of several functionalities in the Rev-export inhibitory activity of 1.

Bioassay-guided separation by use of the fission yeast expressing NES of Rev, an HIV-1 viral regulatory protein, disclosed 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA, 1) as a new inhibitor for nuclear export of Rev from the roots of Alpinia galanga. Both analysis for mechanism of action with biotinylated probe (2) and several synthesized analogs established crucial portions in 1 for Rev-export inhibitory activity.
