The standard treatments of cancer include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, metastasis, drug-resistance and the side-effects of chemotherapy are major events to cause mortality of cancer treatment. It is of hopes that the future cancer treatment drugs will be more effective and specific, to be highly selective in killing cancer cells without harming normal systems, thereby reducing the side effects. Till now, there are various anticancer drugs which derived from natural products. Therefore, we are interested in the development of the natural products as a new source of anti-cancer drug.Our previous reports demonstrated that moscatilin, isolated from traditional Chinese medicine Dendrobrium loddigesii, inhibits platelet aggregation, exerts potent cytotoxic effects against stomach and lung cancer, has anti-proliferative effect in various cancer cells (e.g. colon, prostate, breast cancer), and exhibits anti-inflammatory effect in macrophages. These evidences indicate that moscatilin may have potential to be a new anticancer drug. This project will cooperate with Prof. Chien-Chang Shen, National Research Institution of Chinese Medicine. Prof. Shen will provide a series of derivatives that base on the structure of moscatilin to reduce side effects of parent compound and increase potency of anti-cancer effect.The specific aims of this project include the following: Specific Aim 1 is design of potential anti-metastatic activity of moscatilin analogs. The first step in the drug discovery effort was the structure-based design. Aim 2. Follow up primary screen of moscatilin analogs with anti-metastatic biochemical and cell based assays, such as migration, invasion, Western blot, RT-PCR, SiRNA, EMSA, flow cytometry, ELISA, luciferase assay and zymography, and also perform the enzyme screening (SpectrumScreen®) by MDS Pharma Services, which could find out more targets of these active compounds. Aim 3. The establishments of optimized animal models are crucial for the success of moscatilin analogs. To understand complex biological phenomena and the process of disease development, it requires the application of animal model and proper data analysis. We will confirm the in vivo anti-cancer and anti-metastatic efficacy of drugs in human tumor xenograft model and spontaneous metastasis model, respectively. Finally, we will proceed toxicological experiments by Development Center of Biotechnology, and establish the pharmacokinetic profile of the drugs by Rosetta Pharmamate Co. Ltd.Based on these assessments, the apoptotic and anti-invasive potential of moscatilin series compounds will be elucidated and the potency will be confirmed in animal models. We hope that this project could contribute to the new drug development and clinical therapy.環山石斛 moscatilin乳癌轉移moscatilinbreast cancermetastasisInvestigation of the Action Mechanisms of Moscatilin and Its Derivertives as Anti-Cancer and Anti-Metastasis Drugs
