Biological target: Apoptosis Inducer
In vitro activity: Episilvestrol has limited plasma membrane permeability and is metabolized in liver microsomes in a manner consistent with that reported for Silvestro In addition, a series of analogues of these compounds were prepared where the complex pseudo-sugar at C6 has been replaced with chemically simpler moieties to improve drug-likeness. Selected compounds from this work possess excellent activity in biochemical and cellular translation assays with potent activity against leukemia cell lines.

In vivo activity: It is demonstrated that eukaryotic initiation factors eIF4AI/II were the only proteins detected to bind silvestrol (1) and biotinylated episilvestrol (9) by affinity purification. This study demonstrates the remarkable selectivity of these promising chemotherapeutics. Reference: Chambers JM, Lindqvist LM, Webb A, Huang DC, Savage GP, Rizzacasa MA.
