A novel series of enediynes possessing pentafluorophenylsulfoxide have been developed. The innovative compounds possess antiproliferative activity against a broad panel of human cancer cells originating from breast, blood, lung, kidney, colon, prostate, pancreas or skin with IC ranging from 0.6 to 3.4 μM. The antiproliferative activity of enediynes in darkness is associated to their ability to compromise microtubule network. In addition, exposure to UV leads to double-stranded DNA cleavage caused by the newly synthesized molecules reducing further their IC in nanomolar range against human tumor cells, including chemo-resistant pancreatic cancer cells. Taken together, the examined data demonstrate that enediynes possessing pentafluorosulfoxide are promising molecules in the cancer therapy.

Four new chlorinated cycloaromatized enediyne compounds, jejucarbosides B-E (-), were discovered together with previously-identified jejucarboside A from a marine actinomycete strain. Compounds - were identified as new chlorinated cyclopenta[]indene glycosides based on 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Jejucarbosides B and E bear a carbonate functional group whereas jejucarbosides C and D are variants possessing 1,2-diol by losing the carbonate functionality.

Background: The anthraquinone-fused 10-membered enediynes (AFEs), represented by tiancimycins (TNMs), possess a unique structural feature and promising potentials as payloads of antitumor antibody-drug conjugates. Despite many efforts, the insufficient yields remain a practical challenge for development of AFEs. Recent studies have suggested a unified basic biosynthetic route for AFEs, those core genes involved in the formation of essential common AFE intermediates, together with multiple regulatory genes, are highly conserved among the reported biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) of AFEs.

A new globoscinic acid derivative, aspertubin A (1) along with four known compounds, were obtained from the co-culture of Aspergillus tubingensis S1120 with red ginseng. The chemical structures of compounds were characterized by using spectroscopic methods, the calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism. Panaxytriol (2) from red ginseng, and asperic acid (4) showed significant antifeedant effect with the antifeedant rates of 75 % and 80 % at the concentrations of 50 μg/cm .

Human apurinic/pyrimidine endonuclease 1 (APE1) played a critical role in the occurrence, progress and prognosis of tumors through overexpression and subcellular localization. Thus, it has become an important target for enhancing the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, detecting and imaging its intracellular activity is of great significance for inhibitor discovery, cancer diagnosis and therapy.
