A substrate-controlled synthesis of (+)-herboxidiene from two lactate-derived chiral ketones is described. Remarkably, most of the carbon backbone was constructed through highly stereoselective titanium-mediated aldol reactions and an Ireland-Claisen rearrangement. Furthermore, an oxa-Michael cyclization and a high-yield Suzuki coupling were used to assemble the pyran ring and the diene moiety respectively.

Defects in the splicing machinery are implicated in various diseases, including cancer. We observed a general reduction in the expression of spliceosome components and splicing regulators in human cell lines undergoing replicative, stress-induced, and telomere uncapping-induced senescence. Supporting the view that defective splicing contributes to senescence, splicing inhibitors herboxidiene, and pladienolide B induced senescence in normal and cancer cell lines.

Ubiquitin-specific protease (USP)19 is a deubiquitinating enzyme that regulates the stability and function of multiple proteins, thereby controlling various biological responses. The alternative splicing of USP19 results in the expression of two major encoded variants that are localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (USP19-ER) and cytoplasm (USP19-CY). The importance of alternative splicing for the function of USP19 remains unclear.

Introduction: Splice modulators have been assessed clinically in treating haematologic malignancies exhibiting splice factor mutations and acute myeloid leukaemia. However, the mechanisms by which such modulators repress leukaemia remain to be elucidated.
Objectives: The primary goal of this assessment was to assess the molecular mechanism by which the natural splice modulator GEX1A kills leukaemic cells in vitro and within in vivo mouse models.
Herboxidiene Features That Mediate Conformation-Dependent SF3B1 Interactions to Inhibit Splicing.

Small molecules that target the spliceosome SF3B complex are potent inhibitors of cancer cell growth. The compounds affect an early stage of spliceosome assembly when U2 snRNP first engages the branch point sequence of an intron. Employing an inactive herboxidiene analog (iHB) as a competitor, we investigated factors that influence inhibitor interactions with SF3B to interfere with pre-mRNA splicing .

Herboxidiene is a potent antitumor agent that targets the SF3B subunit of the spliceosome. Herboxidiene possesses a complex structural architecture with nine stereocenters and design of potent less complex structures would be of interest as a drug lead as well as a tool for studying SF3B1 function in splicing. We investigated a number of C-6 modified herboxidiene derivatives in an effort to eliminate this stereocenter and, also to understand the importance of this functionality.
