Abstract

Cancer cells including colorectal Cancer cells are resistant to anoikis, an anchorage-independent programmed death, which enables metastasis and subsequent survival in a new tumor microenvironment. In this study, we identified a new anoikis inducer, amoxetamide A (1) with a β-lactone moiety, that was produced by combined-culture of Amycolatopsis sp. 26-4 and mycolic acid-containing bacteria (MACB) Tsukamurella pulmonis TP-B0596. The structure of 1 including the stereochemistry of C8 was determined by MS and NMR spectroscopy and modified Mosher's method, and the absolute configurations of C11 and C12 were suggested as 11R and 12S, respectively, by GIAO NMR calculations. Amoxetamide A (1) exhibited anoikis-inducing activity in human colorectal Cancer HT-29 cells in anchorage-independent culture conditions.
