Quantitative Structure−Activity Relationship of Sesquiterpene Lactones as Inhibitors of the Transcription Factor NF-κB

Abstract: Sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) are the active compounds of a variety of traditionally used medicinal plants from the Asteraceae family. They are known to possess a considerable antiinflammatory activity in different inflammation models. They inhibit the transcription factor NF-kappaB probably by alkylating cysteine38 in the DNA binding domain of the p65 subunit. Here we investigate a set of 103 different sesquiterpene lactones representing 6 structural groups (44 germacranolides, 16 heliangolides, 22 guaianolide… Show more

“…These studies indicated that the SLs more active possessed a rigid skeleton (furanoheliangolides and guaianolides), whereas in the case of flexible skeletons (germacranolides, such as germacrolides and melampolides), inhibition might be mostly determined by the number and type of a, b-unsaturated carbonyl structural elements (Siedle et al, 2004).…”

“…This notion is consistent with the structure-activity relationship study of the effect of sesquiterpene lactones on NF-kB-binding activity in TNF-a-stimulated cells, which shows that various guaianolides and eudesmanes containing a-methylene-g-lactones manifest inhibitory effects. 79 We have also synthesized (11S)-2a-bromo-3-oxoeudesmano-13,6a-lactone (SRC2, as shown in Figure 4) from the starting material L-asantonin. 80 SRC2 is devoid of the a-methylene-g-lactone moiety, but has a bromoketone structure at the A-ring.…”

“…signaling pathway, [7] a central mediator of the human immune response whose deregulation is noted in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases as well as various human cancers. [8] The 5,7-fused bicyclic family of guaianolides is perhaps the flagship subset of sesquiterpene lactone natural products and two major, isomeric sub-types, the 6,12-guaianolides and 8,12-guaianolides, have been isolated ( Figure 1A).…”
