Antascomicins A, B, C, D and E. Novel FKBP12 Binding Compounds from a Micromonospora Strain.

Abstract: 5 novel ascomycin-like compounds, antascomicins A, B, C, D and E were isolated from a strain of Micromonospora. The antascomicins bind strongly to the FK506-binding protein FKBP12and antagonize the immunosuppressive activity of FK506 and rapamycin. The strain description, fermentation, structure elucidation and biological activity of these compoundsare described.

“…[6] SAR studies have confirmed the rare a-ketoacyl pipecolic residue as key to the immunosuppressive pharmacophore. [7] The only other known natural product members of this structure class are meridamycin, from a Venezuelan isolate of Streptomyces hygroscopius, [8] and the antascomicins, from a Chinese soil Micromonospora sp., [9] which also bind to FKBP12 but are not immunosuppressive. Recent literature reports note that FKBP-binding polyketides can exhibit separate and distinct immunosuppressive and neurotrophic pharmacologies, [10] with non-immunosuppressive inhibitors of FKBPs having potential application against important neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, [11] traumatic spinal cord injury [12] and Parkinsons disease.…”

“…Antascomicin B possesses structural similarities to FK506 (Prograf; Astellas Pharma, Bangkok, Thailand) and rapamycin (Rapamune; Wyeth, Madison, NJ) and exhibits potent sub-nanomolar FKBP12 binding activity, but it antagonizes the binding of the immunosuppressants rapamycin and FK-506. 348,349 Recent investigations suggested that small-molecule ligands of FKBP12 possess potent neuroprotective and neurodegenerative properties in mouse models, and they potentially can be validated as a novel drug target for the causative treatment of Parkinson's disease. 350 McIntosh et al reported recently on the synthesis of antascomicin B C22-C34 fragment 249 where directed hydrogenation was employed to set the C29 stereocenter (Scheme 29.31).…”

“…One of these effects, or the combination of both, could explain the very low immunosuppressive activity of ATG181. In any event, binding of a compound to FKBP-12 (a protein with peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity) per se has apparently no biological consequences except for antagonizing the immunosuppressive activity of FK506, rapamycin, and everolimus; no other biological effects have been found so far for the known nonimmunosuppressive FKBP-12-binding molecules (Dumont et al, 1992;Fehr et al, 1996).…”
