Therapy resistance by evasion of apoptosis is one of the hallmarks of human cancer. Therefore, restoration of cell death by non-apoptotic mechanisms is critical to successfully overcome therapy resistance in cancer. By rational drug design approach, here we try to provide evidence that subtle changes in the chemical structure of spisulosine completely switched its cytotoxic function from apoptosis to autophagy. Our most potent molecule (26b) in a series of 16 synthesized derivatives showed robust autophagic cell death in diverse cancer cells sparing normal counterpart. Compound 26b mediated lethal autophagy induction was confirmed by formation of characteristic autophagic vacuoles, LC3 puncta formation, upregulation of signature autophagy markers like Beclin and Atg family proteins. Altogether, we have detected novel autophagy inducer small molecule which can be tested further for drug discovery research.

A new, practical, and mild procedure for the selective cleavage of a tert-butoxycarbonyl group (Boc) in N-Boc-N-acyl-diprotected amines is described. When applied to α-amino acids, complete integrity of the stereochemistry was observed. The use of N,N-di-Boc-α-amino-δ- and γ-hydroxy esters provided both δ- and γ-lactones in very good yields. The method is based on the use of Montmorillonite K-10 either in CH 2Cl2 at room temperature or in toluene at 65°C and is compatible with the presence of a large range of functional and other protecting groups in the substrates. In most cases virtually pure samples are obtained after filtration and removal of solvents. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2007.
