We report herein eleven 2'-N-acyl derivatives that were prepared from ecteinascidin 770 (Et 770: 1b) via 18,6'-O-bisallyl protected compound (4) in excellent yields. 2'-N-Acyl derivatives (6a-k) generally showed higher cytotoxicity than 1b. Among them, 3-quinolineacyl derivative (6g) and 4-fluorocinnamoyl derivative (6h) exhibited approximately 50- and 70-fold higher cytotoxicity to the HCT116 human colon carcinoma cell line, respectively, than 1b. Both compounds are potent inhibitors of the in vitro growth of several tumor cells and are therefore promising leads for further optimization. We also report the transformation of 1b into Et 788 (3), which is the first example of an ecteinascidin derivative having a primary amide at C-21 position.

Article Synopsis
- There’s a harmful germ that can make people sick, causing anything from mild diarrhea to serious illnesses, especially after taking antibiotics that upset the normal gut balance.
- Researchers studied a huge collection of substances to find new options to fight this germ, discovering 18 promising compounds with strong effects against it.
- Some of these new treatments worked really fast and didn't harm the good bacteria in the gut, which is important for keeping us healthy, unlike some common antibiotics that do.

Today, tuberculosis (TB) caused by the acid-fast bacilli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the most infectious killer disease globally with high morbidity and mortality rates. The rapid development of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) strains via intrinsic (efflux pumps) and acquired (biological mutations) mechanisms reduce the efficacy of applied anti-TB regimens. Nevertheless, only bedaquiline (BDQ) and pretomanid (PMD) were added to anti-TB therapy in the last decade.

Eleven 2'-N-acyl derivatives (5a-k) were prepared from ecteinascidin 770 (Et 770: 1b) via known 18,6'-O-bisallyl-protected compound (3) in three steps. Their in vitro cytotoxicities were determined by measuring IC50 values against human cell lines HCT116 and DU145. 5-Isoxazolecarboylamide derivative (5i) and 4-methoxybenzoylamide derivative (5k) were found to be promising leads for further optimization.

Background: The strategies for achieving anti-metastasis have received increased research interest and clinical attention. The anoikis-sensitizing effect of ecteinascidin 770 (ET-770) was investigated in the present study in non-small cell lung cancer cells.
Materials And Methods: ET-770 isolated from Ecteinascidia thurstoni was tested for its anoikis-sensitizing effect on H23 and H460 human lung cancer cells by 2,3-b-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide salt (XTT) assay.
