The psammaplysenes, specific inhibitors of FOXO1a nuclear export

J Nat Prod. 2005 Apr;68(4):574-6. doi: 10.1021/np049624z.

Abstract

A small collection of marine natural product extracts was screened for compounds that would compensate lost tumor suppressor functionality in PTEN-deficient cells. From the most active extract, the previously unreported bromotyrosine derivative, psammaplysene A (1), was identified. Psammaplysene A compensates for PTEN loss by relocalizing the transcription factor FOXO1a to the nucleus.
