ABSTRACT:
Compounds of Formula Ia and Ic having a lactone structure and an methylene group at the alpha-position of the lactone structure and methods for using and making the compounds have been disclosed. The lactone compounds can be reacted with an neucleaphilic agent to open the lactone ring to a compound of Formula Ib. The lactone of Formula Ia and its functional derivatives have been isolated fromSecuridaca virgata. These compounds are referred to as LMSV-6 or Securolide™. The purified compounds have demonstrated activity in assays for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities, and for treating proliferation disorders such as cancer. Based on the in vitro assays, the lactones are useful for treating proliferation disorders including, for example, breast cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, and leukemia. They are also effective for treatment of bacterial and fungal infections, including treatment of peptic ulcer disease, gingivitis and periodontitis. The lactone and its derivatives has the following chemical structure:wherein R1-R9and Y1-Y3taken independently are preferably a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, or any other organic groups or groupings which optionally include a heteroatom such as oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen groupings in linear, branched, or cyclic structural formats; Z and X are independently and preferably a heteroatom such as oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen groupings in linear, branched, or cyclic structural formats; and Z′ may a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, or any other organic groups or groupings which optionally include a heteroatom such as oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen groupings in linear, branched, or cyclic structural formats.
