RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of anhydrovinblastine in treating patients who have advanced recurrent solid tumors.

Detection of vinblastine and related bioactive compounds from culture extracts of endophytic fungi of Catharanthus roseus

Article

作者: Khan, Uzma ; Gond, Surendra Kumar

This study investigates the synthesis of vinblastine by endophytic fungi isolated from leaf of C. roseus. A total of 10 endophytic fungi were selected for secretion of vinca alkaloids based on the initial screening by biochemical tests and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Out of these ten, only four fungal extracts showed positive results for presence of vinblastine at same retention time (10 min.) compared to reference compound on HPLC analysis. The detected concentration of vinblastine was maximum (17 µg/ml) in isolate no. CRL 22 followed by CRL 52, CRL 17 and CRL 28. To validate the presence of vinblastine, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry (HRMS) was employed. This analysis confirmed the presence of anhydrovinblastine, a precursor of vinblastine through the detection of molecular ions at m/z 793.4185 in extract of CRL 17. In addition to anhydrovinblastine, the intermediate compounds essential to the biosynthetic pathway of vinblastine were also detected in the extract of CRL 17. These host-origin compounds strongly suggest the presence of a biosynthetic pathway within the endophytic fungus. Based on morphological observation and sequence analysis of the ITS region of rDNA, endophytic fungi were identified as Alternaria alternata (CRL 17), Curvularia lunata (CRL 28), Aspergillus terrus (CRL 52), and Aspergillus clavatonanicus (CRL 22).

Improved protein glycosylation enabled heterologous biosynthesis of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids and their unnatural derivatives in yeast

With over 3000 reported structures, monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) constitute one of the largest alkaloid groups in nature, including the clinically important anticancer drug vinblastine and its semi-synthetic derivatives from Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar's periwinkle). With the elucidation of the complete 28-step biosynthesis for anhydrovinblastine, it is possible to investigate the heterologous production of vinblastine and other medicinal MIAs. In this study, we successfully expressed the flavoenzyme O-acetylstemmadenine oxidase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) by signal peptide modification, which is a vinblastine biosynthetic gene that has not been functionally expressed in this system. We also reported the simultaneous integration of ∼18 kb MIA biosynthetic gene cassettes as single copies into four genomic loci of baker's yeast by CRISPR-Cas9, which enabled the biosynthesis of vinblastine precursors catharanthine and tabersonine from the feedstocks secologanin and tryptamine. We further demonstrated the biosynthesis of fluorinated and hydroxylated catharanthine and tabersonine derivatives using our yeasts, which showed that the MIA biosynthesis accommodates unnatural substrates, and the system can be further explored to produce other complex MIAs.

Current Perspectives in the Application of Medicinal Plants Against Cancer: Novel Therapeutic Agents

4区 · 医学

Review

作者: Şekeroğlu, Nazım ; Gezici, Sevgi

Background::

Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. It has become a major health problem in the past decades and is now the second leading cause of death globally. Although, there are different types of treatment such as chemotherapy, immune therapy, radiation, hormone therapy and targeted therapy used against cancer, they have possible side effects and significant deficiencies.

Methods::

This review aims to outline the benefits of medicinal plants and plant-derived products and highlight why they should be used as novel anti-cancer therapeutics. Electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Cochrane library, and MedlinePlus were searched to summarize in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies on anticancer effects of medicinal plants and their bioactive compounds up-to-date.

Results::

In recent years, a number of medicinal plants have been administered to cancer patients in order to prevent and treat cancer as an alternative therapy. These plants were used because of their rich anticarcinogenic and chemoprotective potentials. In addition to these remarkable properties, these plants have less toxic anticancer, anti-tumor and anti-proliferation agents than traditional therapeutics. Nevertheless, only a small number of natural anti-tumor products including vinblastine, vincristine, podophyllotoxin, paclitaxel (Taxol) and camptothecin have been tested clinically, while vinflunine ditartrate, anhydrovinblastine, NK-611, tafluposide, paclitaxel poliglumex, combretastatins, salvicine, curcumin, indirubin, triptolide, homoharringtonine are still on trial.

Conclusion::

Consequently, more effective anticancer compounds are identified during the clinical trials; these natural products could be a key source of antitumor agents in modern anticancer therapy. It is expected that novel anticancer phytopharmaceuticals produced from medicinal plants could be effectively used in prevention and therapy for the cancers.
