Research Abstract

The objectives of this project is to develop superior derivatives of D-allose, a rare sugar showing antiproliferative effect against human cancer cell lines, and molecular probes for an analysis of its mechanism of action. First, we examined the modification for the C-6 OH group of D-allose and found that D-allose C-6 ester with medium chain fatty acids showed about 30 times higher effect compared to D-allose against human leukemia MOLT-4F cell line. Then, we evaluated the activity of D-allose derivatives with 5-membered furanose form, and found that 6-membered pyranose form might be important for the activity of D-allose esters. Finally, we synthesized cell-permeable prodrugs for monosaccharide 6-phosphate, which could be a lead for molecular probes for an analysis of the mechanism of action.
