Sterling C, Márquez-Garbán D, Vadgama JV, Pietras RJ. Squalamines in Blockade of Tumor-Associated Angiogenesis and Cancer Progression. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:5154. [PMID: 36291938 PMCID: PMC9601113 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14205154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Mechanisms of action of squalamine in human vascular endothelial cells indicate that this compound attaches to cell membranes, potentially interacting with calmodulin, Na+/H+ exchanger isoform NHE3 and other signaling pathways involved in the angiogenic process. Thus, squalamine elicits blockade of VEGF-induced endothelial tube-like formation in vitro. Further, squalamine reduces growth of several preclinical models of human cancers in vivo and acts to stop metastatic tumor spread, actions due largely to blockade of angiogenesis induced by the tumor and tumor microenvironment. Squalamine in Phase I/II trials, alone or combined with standard care, shows promising antitumor activity with limited side-effects in patients with advanced solid cancers. Increased attention on squalamine regulation of signaling pathways with or without combination treatments in solid malignancies deserves further study.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031075. [PMID: 35162998 PMCID: PMC8834734 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23031075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Revised: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
This review comprehensively describes the recent advances in the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of steroid polyamines squalamine, trodusquemine, ceragenins, claramine, and their diverse analogs and derivatives, with a special focus on their complete synthesis from cholic acids, as well as an antibacterial and antiviral, neuroprotective, antiangiogenic, antitumor, antiobesity and weight-loss activity, antiatherogenic, regenerative, and anxiolytic properties. Trodusquemine is the most-studied small-molecule allosteric PTP1B inhibitor. The discovery of squalamine as the first representative of a previously unknown class of natural antibiotics of animal origin stimulated extensive research of terpenoids (especially triterpenoids) comprising polyamine fragments. During the last decade, this new class of biologically active semisynthetic natural product derivatives demonstrated the possibility to form supramolecular networks, which opens up many possibilities for the use of such structures for drug delivery systems in serum or other body fluids.

Abstract
Recently, extensive researches have emphasized the fact that polyamine conjugates are becoming important in all biological and medicinal fields. In this review, we will focus our attention on natural polyamines and highlight recent progress in both fundamental mechanism studies and interests in the development and application for the therapeutic use of polyamine derivatives.

Abstract
Two novel sulfated bile salt-like dienones, featuring either a unique, rearranged side chain or a rare cis-11,12-diol on the steroidal C-ring, herein named petromyzene A (1) and B (2), respectively, were isolated from water conditioned with spawning male sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus; a jawless vertebrate animal). The structures of these natural products were elucidated by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Petromyzenes A and B exhibited high olfactory potency for adult sea lamprey and strong behavioral attraction for spawning females.

Abstract
The methods of synthesis as well as physical, spectroscopic (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and FT-IR, ESI-MS), and biological properties of quaternary and dimeric quaternary alkylammonium conjugates of steroids are presented. The results were contrasted with theoretical calculations (PM5 methods) and potential pharmacological properties (PASS). Alkylammonium sterols exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity comparable to squalamine.

Abstract
Various functionalized steroidal side chains were conveniently accessed by a modified Julia olefination strategy using a common sulfone donor and an appropriate α-branched aldehyde acceptor. For the coupling of these hindered classes of reaction partners (and in contrast to typically observed trends), the benzothiazolyl(BT)-sulfone anion gave superior outcomes compared to the phenyltetrazolyl(PT)-sulfone anion.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] A short and highly stereoselective synthesis of the novel steroid squalamine (1) was accomplished in nine steps from easily available methyl chenodeoxylcholanate 2. Our synthesis featured improved dehydrogenation of 4 followed by conjugate reduction to construct the trans AB-ring system and efficient asymmetric isopropylation of aldehyde 6 to introduce the C-24R-hydroxyl group.
