APHIDICOLIN Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

(+)-Aphidicolin is a natural tetracyclic diterpene first isolated from the fungus C. aphidicola and shown to have antiviral activity against herpes simplex. In eukaryotic cells, it is a cell-permeable, reversible inhibitor of DNA replication, specifically blocking the activity of DNA polymerases α, δ, and ε when used at low micromolar levels. Aphidicolin can be used, at 3 μM, to arrest cells in G1/S phase or to increase gene amplification frequency.

Chemical Properties

White crystal

Uses

A DNA polymerase inhibitor. Blocks the cell cycle at the early S-phase

Uses

(+)-Aphidicolin is a naturally occurring tetracyclic diterpene with potential antiviral and antimitotical properties.

Uses

Aphidicolin is a tetracyclic diterpene antibiotic isolated from fungi, notably Cephalosporium, Nigrospora, Harziella and Phoma. Aphidicolin has antibiotic, antiviral and antimitotic properties, blocking the cell cycle at early S-phase. This property has been used to synchronise cell division and is useful as a tool in cell differentiation research. Aphidicolin is a reversible inhibitor of DNA replication by inhibiting selected DNA polymerases. Aphidicolin induces apoptosis, prolongs the half-life of DNA methyltransferase, is active against Leishmania parasites and acts synergistically with the antitumour agents, vincristine and doxorubicin.

Definition

ChEBI: A tetracyclic diterpenoid that has an tetradecahydro-8,11a-methanocyclohepta[a]naphthalene skeleton with two hydroxymethyl substituents at positions 4 and 9, two methyl substituents at positions 4 and 11b and two hydroxy substituents at positi ns 3 and 9. An antibiotic with antiviral and antimitotical properties. Aphidicolin is a reversible inhibitor of eukaryotic nuclear DNA replication.

General Description

A cell-permeable tetracyclic diterpene antibiotic. Cell synchronization agent. Blocks the cell cycle at the early S-phase. Specific inhibitor of DNA polymerase α and δ in eukaryotic cells and in some viruses of animal origin. Potentiates apoptosis induced by arabinosyl nucleosides in leukemia cell lines. Also induces apoptosis in HeLaS3 cells, but inhibits vincristine-induced apoptosis in the p53-negative human prostate cancer cell line PC-3.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: yes

storage

+4°C

Background

Aphidicolin is a tetracyclic diterpenoid first produced by the fungus Cephalosporium aphidicola. This antibiotic is a potent inhibitor of cellular deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis by targeting α, ε, and δ DNA polymerases in eukaryotic cells lines with little to no effect on β or γ DNA polymerases. Studies have shown that Aphidicolin specifically binds to α DNA polymerase, resulting in the formation of a pol α-DNA-aphidicolin ternary complex that blocks DNA replication. The uses for this compound include synchronized cells at the G1/S boundary and increased gene amplification.
