PG - 240-8 LID - 10.1021/np100762s [doi] AB - In an effort to identify natural product-based molecular-targeted antitumor agents, mammea-type coumarins from the tropical/subtropical plant Mammea americana were found to inhibit the activation of HIF-1 (hypoxia-inducible factor-1) in human breast and prostate tumor cells. In addition to the recently reported mammea E/BB (15), bioassay-guided fractionation of the active extract yielded 14 mammea-type coumarins including three new compounds, mammea F/BB (1), mammea F/BA (2), and mammea C/AA (3). The absolute configuration of C-1' in 1 was determined by the modified Mosher's method on a methylated derivative. These coumarins were evaluated for their effects on mitochondrial respiration, HIF-1 signaling, and tumor cell proliferation/viability. Acetylation of 1 afforded a triacetoxylated product (A-2) that inhibited HIF-1 activation with increased potency in both T47D (IC(50) 0.83 muM for hypoxia-induced) and PC-3 cells (IC(50) 0.94 muM for hypoxia-induced). Coumarins possessing a 6-prenyl-8-(3-methyloxobutyl) substituent pattern exhibited enhanced HIF-1 inhibitory effects. The O-methylated derivatives were less active at inhibiting HIF-1 and suppressing cell proliferation/viability. Mechanistic studies indicate that these compounds act as anionic protonophores that potently uncouple mitochondrial electron transport and disrupt hypoxic signaling.
