Synthesis, biological evaluation and SAR of 3-benzoates of ingenol for treatment of actinic keratosis and non-melanoma skin cancer

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2014 Jan 1;24(1):54-60. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.11.073. Epub 2013 Dec 4.

Abstract

Ingenol 3-benzoates were investigated with respect to chemical stability, pro-inflammatory effects, cell death induction and PKCδ activation. A correlation between structure, chemical stability and biological activity was found and compared to ingenol mebutate (ingenol 3-angelate) used for field treatment of actinic keratosis. We also provided further support for involvement of PKCδ for induction of oxidative burst and cytokine release. Molecular modeling and dynamics calculations corroborated the essential interactions between key compounds and C1 domain of PKCδ.

Keywords: Cell death induction; Cytokine release; Ingenol 3-benzoates; Molecular modeling; Oxidative burst; PKCδ activation.
