A series of naturally occurring compounds reported recently by multiple
laboratories defines a new small-molecule class sharing a unique
benzolactone enamide core structure and diverse biological actions,
including inhibition of growth of tumor cells and oncogene-transformed cell lines. Here we show that representative members of this class, including salicylihalamide A, lobatamides A-F, and oximidines I and II
inhibit mammalian vacuolar-type (H+)-ATPases (V-ATPases)
with unprecedented selectivity. Data derived from the NCI 60-cell
antitumor screen critically predicted the V-ATPase molecular target,
while specific biochemical assays provided confirmation and further
illumination. The compounds potently blocked representative V-ATPases
from human kidney, liver, and osteoclastic giant-cell tumor of bone but
were essentially inactive against V-ATPases of Neurospora
crassa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other
membrane ATPases. Essential regulation of pH in cytoplasmic, intraorganellar, and local extracellular spaces is provided by V-ATPases, which are ubiquitously distributed among eukaryotic cells
and tissues. The most potent and selective V-ATPase inhibitors heretofore known were the bafilomycins and concanamycins, which do not
discriminate between mammalian and nonmammalian V-ATPases. Numerous
physiological processes are mediated by V-ATPases, and aberrant
V-ATPase functions are implicated in many different human diseases.
Previous efforts to develop therapeutic pharmacological modulators of
V-ATPases have been frustrated by a lack of synthetically tractable and
biologically selective leads. Therefore, availability of the unique
benzolactone enamide inhibitor class may enable further elucidation of
functional and architectural features of mammalian versus nonmammalian
V-ATPase isoforms and provide new opportunities for targeting
V-ATPase-mediated processes implicated in diverse pathophysiological
phenomena, including cancer.
