Abstract

The macrocyclic spermidine alkaloid lunarine 1 from Lunaria biennis is a competitive, time-dependent inhibitor of the protozoan oxidoreductase trypanothione reductase (TryR), a promising target in drug design against tropical parasitic diseases. Various molecules related to I and the alkaloid itself have been synthesized in racemic form and evaluated against TryR in order to determine the key features of I that are associated with time-dependent inhibition. Kinetic data are consistent with an inactivation mechanism involving a conjugate addition of an active site cysteine residue onto the C-24-C-25 double bond of the tricyclic nucleus of 1. Comparison of data for synthetic (+/-)-1, the natural product, and other derivatives 7-10 from L. biennis confirms the importance of the unique structure of the tricyclic core as a motif for inhibitor design and reveals that the non-natural enantiomer may be a more suitable scaffold upon which thiophilic groups may be presented.
