Design, synthesis and anti-malarial activities of synthetic analogs of biselyngbyolide B, a Ca2+ pump inhibitor from marine cyanobacteria

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2018 Feb 1;28(3):298-301. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2017.12.050. Epub 2017 Dec 24.

Abstract

Biselyngbyaside, an 18-membered macrolide glycoside from marine cyanobacteria, and its derivatives are known to be sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) inhibitors. Recently, a SERCA orthologue of the malaria parasite, PfATP6, has attracted attention as a malarial drug target. To provide a novel drug lead, we designed new synthetic analogs of biselyngbyolide B, the aglycone of biselyngbyaside, based on the co-crystal structure of SERCA with biselyngbyolide B, and synthesized them using the established synthetic route for biselyngbyolide B. Their biological activities against malarial parasites were evaluated.

Keywords: Biselyngbyaside; Biselyngbyolide; PfATP6; SERCA; Structure–activity relationships.
