Product Description
Cyanosafracin B is the starting material for the synthesis of Ecteinascidin ET-743 and Phthalascidin Pt-650.
Cyanosafracin B is a natural antibiotic compound produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens, belonging to the safracin family of antitumor agents. It is a precursor molecule used in the synthesis of ecteinascidin ET-743 (trabectedin, Yondelis) and phthalascidin Pt-650. Cyanosafracin B exhibits potent cytotoxic and antimicrobial properties by interfering with DNA synthesis. It serves as a key starting material for the industrial synthesis of trabectedin, an approved anticancer drug used for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma). The compound's complex molecular structure includes multiple fused rings and functional groups.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cyanosafracin B is a DNA-interacting agent that exhibits potent cytotoxic activity by interfering with DNA synthesis. As a member of the safracin family, it binds to DNA and disrupts replication and transcription processes, leading to cell death. The compound's mechanism of action is similar to that of trabectedin, which binds to the minor groove of DNA and interferes with transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair. Cyanosafracin B is a precursor to trabectedin and phthalascidin, both of which are DNA binding agents with antitumor activity.
ln Vitro
Cyanosafracin B exhibits potent cytotoxic and antimicrobial properties in vitro by interfering with DNA synthesis. The compound is a precursor to trabectedin (ET-743), which has well-characterized antitumor activity. Cyanosafracin B is a starting material for the synthesis of phthalascidin Pt-650 and ecteinascidin ET-743. The compound's activity has been demonstrated in various in vitro assays for cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity.
ln Vivo
As a synthetic precursor, cyanosafracin B is not used directly as a therapeutic agent. However, its derivative trabectedin (ET-743) has demonstrated potent antitumor activity in vivo and is approved for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma. Trabectedin has shown efficacy in patients with previously treated advanced soft tissue sarcoma, including liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. The in vivo activity of cyanosafracin B itself has not been extensively characterized as it is primarily used as a starting material for drug synthesis.
Enzyme Assay
Cytotoxicity assays for cyanosafracin B are performed using various cancer cell lines. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with varying concentrations of cyanosafracin B for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT, CCK-8, or CellTiter-Glo assays. IC50 values are calculated from concentration-response curves. The compound's antimicrobial activity is assessed using standard broth microdilution assays against various bacterial strains. The mechanism of DNA interaction can be studied using DNA binding assays such as gel shift or fluorescence intercalation assays.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for cyanosafracin B employ various cancer cell lines to assess cytotoxicity. Cells are treated with the compound for 24-72 hours, and cell viability is measured. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining. Cell cycle analysis is performed by propidium iodide staining. DNA damage is assessed by measuring γ-H2AX foci formation. The compound's effects on DNA synthesis can be assessed by measuring incorporation of labeled nucleotides (e.g., [3H]-thymidine or EdU). Resistance mechanisms can be studied using drug-resistant cell lines.
Animal Protocol
As a synthetic precursor, cyanosafracin B is not typically used in animal efficacy studies. However, its derivative trabectedin has been extensively studied in mouse xenograft models and in clinical trials. In preclinical studies, trabectedin demonstrated antitumor activity in various xenograft models including sarcoma, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. The compound's efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics have been characterized in extensive clinical development programs.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Cyanosafracin B has molecular formula C29H35N5O6 and molecular weight 549.62. It is a starting material for the synthesis of phthalascidin Pt-650 and ecteinascidin ET-743 (trabectedin). The compound has limited solubility in water (0.22 g/L at 25°C). The compound is typically used as a research reagent for chemical synthesis and as a reference standard.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for cyanosafracin B itself are limited as it is a synthetic precursor. However, its derivative trabectedin has been extensively characterized in toxicology studies. Trabectedin is associated with hepatotoxicity, myelosuppression, and rhabdomyolysis. The compound should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions due to its cytotoxic properties. As a DNA-interacting agent, it may have genotoxic potential.
