Abstract

Halichondrin B is a highly potent Anticancer agent originally found in marine sponges. Although scarcity of the natural product has hampered efforts to develop halichondrin B as a new Anticancer drug, the existence of a complete synthetic route has allowed synthesis of structurally simpler analogues that retain the remarkable potency of the parent compound. In this study, we show that two macrocyclic ketone analogues of halichondrir B, ER-076349 and ER-086526, have sub-nM growth inhibitory activities in vitro against numerous human Cancer cell lines as well as marked in vivo activities at 0.1-1 mg/kg against four human xenografts: MDA-MB-435 breast Cancer, COLO 205 colon Cancer, LOX melanoma, and NIH: OVCAR-3 ovarian Cancer. ER-076349 and ER-086526 induce G2-M cell cycle arrest and disruption of mitotic spindles, consistent with the tubulin-based antimitotic mechanism of halichondrin B. This is supported further by direct binding of the biotinylated analogue ER-040798 to tubulin and inhibition of tubulin polymerization in vitro by ER-076349 and ER-086526. Retention of the extraordinary in vitro and in vivo activity off halichondrin B in structurally simplified, fully synthetic analogues establishes the feasibility of developing halichondrin B-based agents as highly effective, novel Anticancer drugs.
