Chiral resolution of a caged xanthone and evaluation across a broad spectrum of breast cancer subtypes
2019
Abstract Racemic resolution of (+/–)-MAD28, a representative caged xanthone, was accomplished using (1S, 4R)-(–)-camphanic chloride as the chiral agent. Selective crystallization of the resulting diastereomers in acetonitrile produced, after hydrolysis, the pure enantiomers. Screening of racemic MAD28 and both enantiomers across a broad spectrum of breast cancer cell lines revealed that they: (a) are equipotent in each of the breast cancer subtypes examined; and (b) exhibit a higher degree of cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines of basal-like subtype and triple negative receptor status. The results support the notion that MAD28 and related caged xanthones are promising drug leads against chemoresistant and metastatic cancers.
