Abstract
A deactivated alkene precursor (IC50 = 81 μM) to the azinomycin epoxide natural product can be bioactivated by several cytochromes P450 (CYP) to generate antiproliferative metabolites with increased potency (IC50 = 1-30 μM) in CHOwt cells. CYP1A1 and 3A4 were shown to generate
exclusively the unnatural and the natural-configured azinomycin epoxide diastereoisomer respectively, while CYP1B1 produced both epoxides in a 3:1 mixture. The antiproliferative activity is linked to DNA damage as demonstrated using the comet assay.
