Tropisetron (INN) is a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used mainly as an antiemetic to treat nausea and vomiting following chemotherapy, although it has been used experimentally as an analgesic in cases of fibromyalgia.[1] The drug is available in a 5 mg oral preparation or in 2 mg intravenous form. It is marketed by Novartis in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines as Navoban, but is not available in the U.S. It is also available from Novell Pharmaceutical Laboratories and marketed in several Asian countries as Setrovel
Tropisetron is a 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3 (5-HT3) antagonist that was launched in 1992 by Novartis for the oral and injection treatment of chemotherapy-induced emesis. The drug has also been approved for the prophylaxis and treatment of post-operative nausea and vomiting, and is available in capsule and ampule formulations. In terms of clinical development, phase III trials were being carried out by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIHM) as an adjunct to risperidone therapy for the treatment of schizophrenia, but no recent development has been reported. Clinical trials for the treatment of fibromyalgia have also been conducted by Novartis, although recent progress reports on this indication have not been made available.
5-HT3 receptors are excitatory ligand-gated cation channel receptors that can be found in the presynaptic vagal afferents, the area postrema and the gastrointestinal tract. Stimulation of these receptors seems to be important in the emetic response and the gag reflex. It has also been shown that tropisetron shows agonistic effects on the 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. This receptor is associated with auditory sensory gating, a neural mechanism believed to have important roles in information processing and cognition, both diminished in people with schizophrenia.
Tropisetron acts as both a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and α7-nicotinic receptor agonist.[2][3]
Tropisetron is a well-tolerated drug with few side effects. Headache, constipation, and dizziness are the most commonly reported side effects associated with its use. Hypotension, transient liver enzyme elevation, immune hypersensitivity syndromes and extrapyramidal side effects have also been associated with its use on at least one occasion.There have been no significant drug interactions reported with this drug’s use. It is broken down by the hepatic cytochrome P450 system and it has little effect on the metabolism of other drugs broken down by this system.
As a biological stain and as trypanocide.
Tropisetron was originally developed by Novartis, and rights to the drug were subsequently acquired by Asta Medica (now, part of Meda). In December 1997, Novartis and Kyowa Hakko signed an agreement, pursuant to which the companies would copromote the product in Japan. Tropisetron is currently distributed in various countries worldwide, including Belgium, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden and the U.K.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
5-HT3 receptor antagonists are a class of compounds which block 5-HT3receptors, and are also sometimes classified as serotonin M receptor antagonists. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonists comprise a defined and recognised class of pharmaceutically active compounds well known in the art and characterised, as their name implies, by their pharmacological activity. Various 5-HT3 receptor antagonist compounds are commercially available and clinically applied, e.g. in the treatment of emesis.
5-HT3 receptor antagonists from various sources have been published for a wide variety of uses, for example for the treatment of visceral pain, migraine, vascular and cluster headache, trigeminal neuralgia, arrhythmia, serotonin-induced gastro-intestinal disorders, including emesis induced by anti-cancer agents, anxiety, stress-related psychiatric disorders, depression, cognitive disorders, social withdrawal, panic attacks, agoraphobia, lung embolism, rhinitis or serotonin-induced nasal disorders, fibromyalgia and local treatment of pain caused by various non-inflammatory or inflammatory conditions. Some have been commercially introduced for the treatment of emesis.
In accordance with the present invention it has now surprisingly been found that 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are useful for the treatment of diseases caused or influenced by activation of thrombocytes.
Thrombocytes play a central role in blood coagulation (clotting) and are therefore also of high importance in the pathogenesis of cardiac infarction and stroke, furthermore also in thrombosis of the veins and inflammatory conditions in the development of atherosclerosis.
Activation of thrombocytes causing blood clotting is based on several mechanisms. It has ■ now been demonstrated that 5-HT3 receptors are present on platelets and that the number of these receptors at the platelet surface is increasing in a dose dependent fashion on addition of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) or TRAP (thrombin receptor activating peptide) known to stimulate thrombocyte activation. The increase of 5-HT3 receptors on addition of compounds inducing aggregation such as ADP and TRAP is proof that such receptors play a role in thrombotic processes. Platelet activity is also important in inflammatory processes in atherosclerotic conditions. Thrombocytes activated by thrombin may, as is already known, induce the production of I L- 1 β , IL-8, MCP (monocyte chemoattractant protein) and other inflammation mediators These are impeded by 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. This demonstrates that 5-HT3 receptor antagonists not only influence blood coagulation but also processes playing a role in the development of atherosclerosis.
Hence, the present invention relates to the use of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of such an antagonist for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of a disease caused or influenced by activation of thrombocytes, in particular myocardial infarction, stroke, thrombosis and atherosclerosis.

tropisetron hydrochloride is a peripheral neurons and central nervous system 5 – hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-ΗΤ3) receptors potent, highly selective competitive antagonist, mainly by selectively blocking peripheral neurons presynaptic 5-ΗΤ3 receptors inhibit vomiting reflex. For the prevention and treatment of child and adult cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy and post-operative nausea and vomiting caused.
About tropisetron hydrochloride preparation of patent literature, including (for example): US4797406, US 4789673, CN 101033225, CN 101838266, CN 101787021. Tropisetron hydrochloride preparation generally is this: the firstsynthesis of acid chloride intermediates, and then through esterification acidification, refining and other steps, resulting tropisetron hydrochloride.
The preparation method has, in U.S. Patent (US3980668, US4789673, US4797406, US4803199) described with indole-3 – carboxylic acid with oxalyl chloride, treatment with methylene chloride and n-hexane to give 3 – methyl indole chloride, then with tropenol activation in n-butyl lithium produced under tropenol lithium reaction was treated to obtain tropisetron, and the final hydrochloride salt obtained tropisetron hydrochloride
in which the U.S. patent literature US 4797406 and US 4789673 introduces the indole-3 – carboxylic acid with oxalyl chloride to give 3 – indole chloride then with tropenol activation in n-butyl lithium in the reaction system tray alkyl granisetron. This method uses expensive n-butyl lithium and polluting chloride compound, and the multi-step, only about 20% yield.
Chinese patent literature described in CN 101033225 is improved indolesynthesis _3_ chloro acid as raw material of 1,3 – dimethyl-2 – chloro-imidazoline as the condensing agent, an organic base directly under conditions esterified with tropenol obtain the target product. Although this method avoids the acylation step, a condensing agent in preparing dimethyl-2-chloro-1,3 _ – chloro-imidazoline must use highly toxic phosgene, so there is an obvious lack of this route.

Granisetron is a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used as an antiemetic to treat nausea and vomiting following chemotherapy. Its main effect is to reduce the activity of the vagus nerve, which is a nerve that activates the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata. It does not have much effect on vomiting due to motion sickness. This drug does not have any effect on dopamine receptors or muscarinic receptors.
Granisetron hydrochloride is an anti-emetic drug, used for treatment or prophylaxis of emesis and post operative nausea and vomiting. Granisetron hydrochloride is marketed under the trade name Kytril as solution for injection as well as tablets. The chemical name of granisetron is N-(endo-9-methyl-9- azabicyclo[3.3.2]non-3-yl)-l-methylindazole-3-carboxamide and it is represented by the following structural formula :
Granisetron is usually administered as the hydrochloride salt for relieving the symptoms of vomiting and nausea in cancer patients. Recently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted an investigational New Drug (IND) application for transdermal granisetron patch, Sancuso™, for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The Sancuso™ Phase I I Istudy is now underway in Europe and in the U.S. Typically, a non-oral form such as transdermal patch uses granisetron base as the active ingredient. The preparation of granisetron base is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,268,498 without referring to the solid state characteristics of granisetron. The preparation of granisetron base is further described in example 3 of U.S. Patent No. 7,071,209 (hereinafter the ‘209 patent), having a melting point of 121-1220C. The ‘209 patent is silent with regard to the solid state of granisetron base as well as to the solid state of the hydrochloride salt,
Granisetron was developed by chemists working at the British drug company Beecham around 1988 and is available as a generic. It is produced byRoche Laboratories under the trade name Kytril. The drug was approved in the United Kingdom in 1991 and in United States in 1994 by the FDA.
A granisetron transdermal patch with the trade name Sancuso was approved by the US FDA on September 12, 2008.[1] Sancuso is manufactured by ProStrakan, Inc., a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Bedminster, NJ, with global headquarters in Scotland.
Granisetron is metabolized slowly by the liver, giving it a longer than average half-life. One dose usually lasts 4 to 9 hours and is usually administered once or twice daily. This drug is removed from the body by the liver and kidneys.
Granisetron hydrochloride is a 5-HT3 antagonist that was launched in 1991 at Roche for the oral treatment of nausea. Preclinical studies demonstrate that, in binding to 5-HT3 receptors, granisetron blocks serotonin stimulation and subsequent vomiting after emetogenic stimuli such as cisplatin. In 2008, FDA approval of a transdermal patch was obtained by ProStrakan for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting. Commercial launch took place the same year. This formulation has been filed for approval in the E.U. for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. E.U. approval was obtained in 2012. In 2013, launch took place in United Kingdom. In 2011, Chugai Pharmaceutical received approval in Japan for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with antineoplastic agent administration and radiotherapy. Translational Research has developed an intranasal formulation that is in the preclinical phase of development. Acrux has also studied a proprietary metered-dose transdermal system, but progress reports on this formulation are not presently available. Currently marketed formulations include an oral solution, film-coated tablets, injections and sachets. BioDelivery Sciences is developing a formulation of granisetron hydrochloride using its film technology (BioErodable MucoAdhesive) BEMA technology. Almac is developing the compound in phase I clinical studies for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting.
It may be used for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and appears to work about the same as ondansetron.[2]
A number of medications including granisetron appear to be effective in controlling post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV).[3] It is unclear if it is better than or worse than other agents like droperidol, metoclopramide, ondansetron or cyclizine.[3]
Its efficacy has also been questioned with a research Dr. Yoshitaka Fujii having 12 published papers on this topic in Canadian Journal of Anesthesia retracted. A further five papers in the same journal on the same drug by Dr Fujii are considered indeterminate.
- Is a possible therapy for nausea and vomiting due to acute or chronic medical illness or acute gastroenteritis
- Treatment of cyclic vomiting syndrome although there are no formal trials to confirm efficacy.
Granisetron is a well-tolerated drug with few side effects. Headache, dizziness, and constipation are the most commonly reported side effects associated with its use. There have been no significant drug interactions reported with this drug’s use. It is broken down by the liver‘s cytochrome P450 system and it has little effect on the metabolism of other drugs broken down by this system.
APF530
A New Drug Application (NDA) for APF530, a sustained-delivery form of Granisetron, was accepted in October 2012.[4] APF530 will be targeted as anantiemetic, towards patients undergoing radiation therapy and chemotherapy. APF530 contains the 5-HT3 antagonist, granisetron, formulated in the Company’s proprietary Biochronomer™ drug delivery system, which allows therapeutic drug levels to be maintained for five days with a single subcutaneous injection.
Originally developed at GlaxoSmithKline, granisetron hydrochloride was divested in September 2000 giving Roche global rights to the drug. Currently, granisetron is being distributed by Roche in France, Italy, South Africa, the U.K. and the U.S. and in Japan by Roche’s subsidiary Chugai. In 2007, a license agreement was signed between LG Life Sciences and ProStrakan in Korea. In 2008, the product was licensed to JapanBridge by ProStrakan for development and marketing in Asia for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. An additional license agreement was made in 2008 granting Paladin rights to granisetron transdermal patches for the treatment of nausea. In 2010, granisetron hydrochloride extended-release transdermal patches were licensed to Kyowa Hakko Kirin by Solasia Pharma in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Solasia retains full rights in Japan and China.

Granisetron hydrochloride of formula (I). More particularly this invention relates to the preparation of Granisetron hydrochloride using methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) as a single solvent in presence of an organic base such as triethylamine.
(I)
Granisetron hydrochloride which is chemically known as endo-l-methyl-N-(9- methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-yl)-lH-indazole-3-carboxamide monohydrochloride is a 5-HT (5 -hydroxy triptamine) antagonist, and has the following structural formula:
(I)
Granisetron hydrochloride is useful as an anti-emetic and marketed as Kytril by Roche.
EP-A-0200444 provides certain 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) antagonists, which are described as possessing a number of therapeutic utilities, inter alia, the prevention of vomiting following the administration of cytotoxic agents. The compound described in Example 6 is endo-N-(9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-yl)- l-methylindazole-3-carboxamide, and this compound has been assigned the INN Granisetron. EP-A-0200444 also discloses that Granisetron can be prepared by reacting l-methylindazole-3-carboxylic acid chloride with endo-3-amino-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane.
EP 748321 claims a process for preparing Granisetron or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof. The process comprises the condensation of compound of formula (3) and (4) followed by de-protecting the intermediate compound of structure (2) to get the granisetron or optionally forming a pharmaceutically accepted salt of Granisetron. The scheme is presented below in which Q is a leaving group displaceable by a secondary amine wherein R may be represented as benzyl, benzyl substituted with one or more chloro, alkyl or alkoxy group, t-butyl, allyl or a t-butyldimethylsilylgroup.
GRANISETRON
US Pat. No. 6,268,498 discloses an alternative process for preparing
Granisetron, by cyclisation of a previously methylated compound of formula (C), which is shown below. It should be noted that the methylation prior to cyclisation is carried out with sodium hydride and methyl iodide as disclosed in example 1 (b) of said patent. However, the cyclisation conditions applied to that compound of formula (C) may facilitate demethylation of the indazole of the Granisetron so obtained. Thus, for example, in examples 2 and 3 of said patent described the cyclisation reaction, but although in example 2 the reaction leads to Granisetron, in example 3, when the reaction time is increased under the same conditions, quantitatively demethylated Granisetron is provided. The reaction time therefore has a consideration influence on the yield values in the second step of the process that is in the cyclisation, since the Granisetron provided by this process contains as an impurity significant amounts of demethylated Granisetron, which will have to be re-methylated in an additional step.
(C) ES 2,124,162 patent discloses a procedure for the preparation of Granisetron or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts consisting of reaction of l-methylindazole-3- carboxamide of formula (A) with 9-methyl-9-azabicyclononane of formula (B) (L = halogen, OMs, OTs; halogen = esp. Cl, Br; Ms = SO2Me; Ts = SO2C6H4Me4). Thus, l-methylindazole-3-carboxamide in tetrahydrofuran (THF) containing tetramethylethylenediamine is treated with BuLi in hexane followed by addition of endo-3-(mesyloxy)-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane hydrochloride (L = OMs) to give the title compound i.e. Granisetron The scheme is represented below:
(A) (B) GRANISETRON
As discussed above none of the prior art references disclosed or claimed the use of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) as a single solvent in presence of an organic Λ
4
base such as triethylamine for the preparation of compound of formula (I), hence we focused our research to develop an improved and efficient process for the preparation of the compound of formula (I) in substantial good yield and high purity.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: EspeRare Foundation And Drug Repositioning
This is the fifth Blog Post in a series examining Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in the rare disease and orphan drug space. This Blog Post discusses the EspeRare Foundation and how the organization is using repositioning or repurposing of an old drug to benefit DMD.
Drug repositioning or drug repurposing (DR) is applying existing drugs to new indications or diseases. DR is increasing in importance to many drug development and pharmaceutical companies. Using DR provides several advantages to companies:
• Repositioned drug has already passed toxicity and other tests
• Repositioned drug’s safety profile is already known
• Repositioned drug decreases the development time and cost of developing a drug.
Merck Serono, a division of Merck, announces in April 2013, the launch of the EspeRare Foundation. The EspeRare Foundation is presented to the public and international rare disease community at the IRDiRC (International Rare Diseases Research Consortium) Conference, in April…

Marizomib, a highly potent proteasome inhibitor, is in early clinical development at Triphase Research and Development I Corp for the treatment of relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Phase I clinical trials have also been carried out for the treatment of solid tumors and lymphoma; however, no recent developments have been reported for these studies.
HDAC inhibitors halt tumor cell differentiation and growth, and when combined with marizomib in preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies, show additive and synergistic antitumor activities.
The compound was discovered from a new marine-obligate gram-positive actinomycete (Salinispora tropica). Preclinical studies suggest that this next-generation compound may be superior to other proteasome inhibitors, with broader target inhibition, faster onset and longer duration of action, higher potency, and oral and intravenous availability. By inhibiting proteasomes, marizomib prevents the breakdown of proteins involved in signal transduction, which blocks growth and induces apoptosis in cancer cells.
In 2013, orphan drug designation was assigned in the U.S. for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
The compound was originally developed by Nereus Pharmaceuticals, which was acquired by Triphase Research and Development in 2012.
marizomib is a naturally-occurring salinosporamide, isolated from the marine actinomycete Salinospora tropica, with potential antineoplastic activity. Marizomib irreversibly binds to and inhibits the 20S catalytic core subunit of the proteasome by covalently modifying its active site threonine residues; inhibition of ubiquitin-proteasome mediated proteolysis results in an accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated proteins, which may result in the disruption of cellular processes, cell cycle arrest, the induction of apoptosis, and the inhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis. This agent more may more potent and selective than the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib
Marizomib (NPI-0052) is an oral, irreversible ββ-lactone derivative that binds selectively to the active proteasomal sites. In vivo studies with marizomib demonstrate reduced tumor growth without significant toxicity in myeloma xenograft models. A phase I trial in refractory and relapsed MM is under way.
Salinosporamide A is a potent proteasome inhibitor used as an anticancer agent that recently entered phase I human clinical trials for the treatment of multiple myeloma only three years after its discovery.[1][2] This novel marine natural product is produced by the recently described obligate marine bacteria Salinispora tropica and Salinispora arenicola, which are found in ocean sediment. Salinosporamide A belongs to a family of compounds, known collectively as salinosporamides, which possess a densely functionalized γ-lactam-β-lactone bicyclic core.
Salinosporamide A was discovered by William Fenical and Paul Jensen from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA. In preliminary screening, a high percentage of the organic extracts of cultured Salinospora strains possessed antibiotic and anticancer activities, which suggests that these bacteria are an excellent resource for drug discovery.Salinospora strain CNB-392 was isolated from a heat-treated marine sediment sample and cytotoxicity-guided fractionation of the crude extract led to the isolation of salinosporamide A. Although salinosporamide A shares an identical bicyclic ring structure with omuralide, it is uniquely functionalized. Salinosporamide A displayed potent in vitro cytotoxicity against HCT-116 human colon carcinoma with an IC50 value of 11 ng mL-1. This compound also displayed potent and highly selective activity in the NCI’s 60-cell-line panel with a mean GI50 value (the concentration required to achieve 50% growth inhibition) of less than 10 nM and a greater than 4 log LC50 differential between resistant and susceptible cell lines. The greatest potency was observed against NCI-H226 non-small cell lung cancer, SF-539 CNS cancer, SK-MEL-28 melanoma, and MDA-MB-435 breast cancer (all with LC50 values less than 10 nM). Salinosporamide A was tested for its effects on proteasome function because of its structural relationship to omuralide. When tested against purified 20S proteasome, salinosporamide A inhibited proteasomal chymotrypsin-like proteolytic activity with an IC50 value of 1.3 nM.[3] This compound is approximately 35 times more potent than omuralide which was tested as a positive control in the same assay. Thus, the unique functionalization of the core bicyclic ring structure of salinosporamide A appears to have resulted in a molecule that is a significantly more potent proteasome inhibitor than omuralide.[1]
Salinosporamide A inhibits proteasome activity by covalently modifying the active site threonine residues of the 20S proteasome.
Biosynthesis
It was originally hypothesized that salinosporamide B was a biosynthetic precursor to salinosporamide A due to their structural similarities.
It was thought that the halogenation of the unactivated methyl group was catalyzed by a non-heme iron halogenase.[4][5]Recent work using 13C-labeled feeding experiments reveal distinct biosynthetic origins of salinosporamide A and B.[4][6]
While they share the biosynthetic precursors acetate and presumed β-hydroxycyclohex-2′-enylalanine (3), they differ in the origin of the four-carbon building block that gives rise to their structural differences involving the halogen atom. A hybrid polyketide synthase-nonribosomal peptide synthetase (PKS-NRPS) pathway is most likely the biosynthetic mechanism in which acetyl-CoA and butyrate-derived ethylmalonyl-CoA condense to yield the β-ketothioester (4), which then reacts with (3) to generate the linear precursor (5).
The first stereoselective synthesis was reported by Rajender Reddy Leleti and E. J.Corey.[7] Later several routes to the total synthesis of salinosporamide A have been reported.[7][8][9][10]
In vitro studies using purified 20S proteasomes showed that salinosporamide A has lower EC50 for trypsin-like (T-L) activity than does Bortezomib. In vivo animal model studies show marked inhibition of T-L activity in response to salinosporamide A, whereas bortezomib enhances T-L proteasome activity.
Initial results from early-stage clinical trials of salinosporamide A in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients were presented at the 2011 American Society of Hematology annual meeting.[11] Further early-stage trials of the drug in a number of different cancers are ongoing.[12]

………………
Salinosporamide A(1) was recently discovered by Fenical et al. as a bioactive product of a marine microorganism that is widely distributed in ocean sediments. Feeling, R. H.; Buchanan, G. O.; Mincer, T. J.; Kauffman, C. A.; Jensen, P. R.; Fenical, W., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2003, 42, 355–357.
Structurally Salinosporamide A closely resembles the terrestrial microbial product omuralide (2a) that was synthesized by Corey et al. several years ago and demonstrated to be a potent inhibitor of proteasome function. See, (a) Corey, E. J.; Li, W. D., Z. Chem. Pharm. Bull., 1999, 47, 1–10; (b) Corey, E. J., Reichard, G. A.; Kania, R., Tetrahedron Lett., 1993, 34, 6977–6980; (c) Corey, E. J.; Reichard, G. A., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1992, 114, 10677–10678; (d) Fenteany, G.; Standaert, R. F.; Reichard, G. A.; Corey, E. J.; Schreiber, S. L., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1994, 91, 3358–3362.
Omuralide is generated by β-lactonization of the N-acetylcysteine thiolester lactacystin (2b) that was first isolated by the Omura group as a result of microbial screening for nerve growth factor-like activity. See, Omura, S., Fujimoto, T., Otoguro, K., Matsuzaki, K., Moriguchi, R., Tanaka, H., Sasaki, Y., Antibiot., 1991, 44, 113–116; Omura, S., Matsuzaki, K., Fujimoto, T., Kosuge, K., Furuya, T., Fujita, S., Nakagawa, A., J. Antibiot., 1991, 44, 117–118.
Salinosporamide A, the first compound Fenical’s group isolated from Salinospora, not only had a never-before-seen chemical structure 1, but is also a highly selective and potent inhibitor of cancer-cell growth. The compound is an even more effective proteasome inhibitor than omuralide and, in addition, it displays surprisingly high in vitro cytotoxic activity against many tumor cell lines (IC50values of 10 nM or less). Fenical et al. first found the microbe, which they’ve dubbed Salinospora, off the coasts of the Bahamas and in the Red Sea. See,Appl. Environ. Microbiol., 68, 5005 (2002).
Fenical et al. have shown that Salinospora species requires a salt environment to live. Salinospora thrives in hostile ocean-bottom conditions: no light, low temperature, and high pressure. The Fenical group has now identified Salinosporain five oceans, and with 10,000 organisms per cm3 of sediment and several distinct strains in each sample; and according to press reports, they’ve been able to isolate 5,000 strains. See, Chemical & Engineering News, 81, 37 (2003).
A great percentage of the cultures Fenical et al. have tested are said to have shown both anticancer and antibiotic activity. Like omuralide 2a, salinosporamide A inhibits the proteasome, an intracellular enzyme complex that destroys proteins the cell no longer needs. Without the proteasome, proteins would build up and clog cellular machinery. Fast-growing cancer cells make especially heavy use of the proteasome, so thwarting its action is a compelling drug strategy. See, Fenical et al., U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003-0157695A1
