The discovery of a more cytotoxic macrosphelide derivative, including its total synthesis and bioassay are described. Application of the Koide protocol to a readily available propagylic alcohol allowed the rapid and practical synthesis of a macrosphelide A skeleton. This strategy enabled the successful improvement of the cytotoxic activity of the macrosphelide derivative.

Various artificial macrosphelides were designed and synthesized, including ring-enlarged analogues and epothilone-hybrid compounds. Syntheses were accomplished in an efficient manner by using a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) strategy in a key macrocyclization step. Biological evaluation of these new macrosphelide-based derivatives revealed that several epothilone hybrids, in which a thiazole-containing side chain was incorporated, exhibited potent apoptosis-inducing activity toward human lymphoma cells.

The apoptosis-inducing ability of hybrid compounds composed of macrosphelide and thiazole-containing side chain of epothilones was investigated. Among the tested series of hybrid compounds the one containing thiazole side chain at C15 (MSt-2) showed the maximum potency to induce apoptosis, while another containing thiazole side chain at C3 (MSt-6) was less potent. MSt-2 was found to induce apoptosis in human lymphoma (U937) cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner as confirmed by DNA fragmentation analysis.

Bioactive natural products produced by microbes have almost limitless potential in pharmaceutical applications, and the organic synthesis of such products as lead compounds will result in the creation of new and widely useful pharmaceutical products. A program of discovery of naturally occurring bioactive microbial metabolites has been ongoing at the Kitasato Institute. We have also developed efficient, rational, and highly flexible production methods for generation of target compounds, synthesis of related compounds, elucidation of their structure-activity relationships, and the possible creation of improved bioactive compounds.
