Abstract

The naturally occurring pentacyclic diterpenoid gibberellic acid (1) was used in the generation of a drug-like amide library using parallel-solution-phase synthesis. Prior to the synthesis, a virtual library was generated and prioritized based on drug-like physicochemical parameters such as log P, hydrogen bond donor/acceptor counts, and molecular weight. The structures of the synthesized analogues (2-13) were elucidated following analysis of the NMR, MS, UV, and IR data. Compound 12 afforded crystalline material, and its structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for cytotoxicity and deregulation of lipid metabolism in LNCaP prostate cancer cells. While no cytotoxic activity was identified at the concentrations tested, synthesized analogues 3, 5, 7, 10, and 11 substantially reduced cellular uptake of free cholesterol in prostate cancer cells, suggesting a novel role of gibberellic acid derivatives in deregulating cholesterol metabolism.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 March 2018.
All research outputs
#18,589,103
of 23,025,074 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Natural Products
#4,302
of 5,000 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#256,750
of 330,329 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Natural Products
#38
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,025,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,000 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.3. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,329 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
