Chemistry:C-1027

From HandWiki

C-1027 or lidamycin is an antitumor antibiotic consisting of a complex of an enediyne chromophore and an apoprotein.[1][2][3][4] [5][6] It shows antibiotic activity against most Gram-positive bacteria.[7] It is one of the most potent cytotoxic molecules known, due to its induction of a higher ratio of DNA double-strand breaks than single-strand breaks.

C-1027's chromophore contains a nine-membered enediyne that is responsible for most of the molecule's biological activity.[7] Unlike other enediynes, this molecule contains no triggering mechanism. It is already primed to undergo the cycloaromatization reaction without external activation to produce the toxic 1,4-benzenoid diradical species. C-1027 can induce oxygen-independent interstrand DNA crosslinks in addition to the oxygen-dependent single- and double-stranded DNA breaks typically generated by other enediynes. This unique oxygen-independent mechanism suggests that C-1027 may be effective against hypoxic tumor cells.[8]

C-1027 Mechanism

C-1027 shows promise as an anticancer drug and is currently undergoing phase II clinical trials in China,[9] with a 30% success rate.[10] It can induce apoptosis in many cancer cells and recent studies have indicated that it induces unusual DNA damage responses to double-strand breaks, including altering cell cycle progression and inducing chromosomal aberrations.[6]

Biosynthesis

Enediyne

The structure of C-1027 is composed of a nine-membered enediyne complex, a deoxygenated aminosugar, a β-amino acid, and a benzoxazolinate moiety. Enediynes contain a double bond between two triple bonds, and their biosynthesis is distinct from other known polyketide and fatty-acid synthesis paradigms. The enediyne PKS, PKSE, from S. globisporusresponsible for the biosynthesis of the C-1027 enediyne is an ACP dependent protein with ketoacylsynthase (KS), acyltransferase (AT), ketoreductase (KR), and dehydratase (DH) domains.[11] PKSE also contains a C-termianal PPTase domain, and the process is terminated by a thioesterase (TE). Starting with acetyl-CoA, PKSE iteratively combines 7 units of malonyl-CoA creating an intermediate heptaene, which is then catalyzed by accessory enzymes into a 9 membered enediyne.[12] There is also a remarkable similarity between the biosynthesis of 9-membered and 10-membered enediynes such as the anticancer drug Calicheamicin.[13]

Enediyne Biosynthesis

Deoxy Aminosugar

The deoxy aminosugar found in C-1027 is derived from 5-glucose-1-phosphate. The C-1027 gene cluster contains a thymine diphosphate glucose synthetase (SgcA1), a TDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase (SgcA2), a TDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose epimerase (SgcA2), a C-methyl transferase (SgcA3), an amino transferase (SgcA4), an N-methyl transferase (SgcA5), and a glycosyl transferase (SgcA6). These are all the necessary enzymes to synthesize the deoxy aminosugar and attach it to the enediyne core.[11]

Deoxy Aminosugar Biosynthesis

β-Amino Acid

The β-amino acid moiety is a non-ribosomal peptide synthesized from tyrosine. The necessary enzymes for its biosynthesis include a phenol hydroxylase (SgcC), a nonribosomal peptide synthetase adenylation enzyme (SgcC1), an NRPS peptidyl–carrier protein (SgcC2), a halogenase (SgcC3), an aminomutase (SgcC4), and an NRPS-condensation enzyme (SgcC5). All of these enzymes are encoded for within the C-1027 biosynthetic gene cluster.[11]

B-Amino Acid Biosynthesis

Benzoxazolinate

The benzoxazolinate moiety is synthesized from chorismate, which itself is biosynthesized from the shikimate pathway. Chorismate is sequentially acted upon by a 2-amino-2-deoxyisochorismate synthase, and an iron–sulfur FMN-dependent ADIC dehydrogenase to synthesize 3-enolpyruvoylanthranilate (OPA). OPA is then further catalyzed into the benzoxazolinate precursor for C-1027.[14]

Benzoxazolinate Biosynthesis

C-1027

The four building blocks are then combined into C-1027, although the exact mechanisms and order of this is relatively unknown.[11]
