Critical early events in inflammation, 1-3 the allergic response, 4-6 and tumor metastasis7-9 involve interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells. A variety of cytokinins and related chemical mediators control both leukocyte adhesion and subsequent intercellular invasion by regulating the expression of cellular adhesion molecules. 10, 11 Inhibition of cell-cell adhesion thus holds promise for the treatment of diverse pathologies.Recently we reported the isolation, planar structures, and preliminary biological evaluation of (+)-macrosphelides A and B (1 and 2). 12 These novel macrolides, produced by Microsphaeropsis sp. FO-5050, are the first 16-membered-ring antibiotics embodying three lactone linkages (ie, macrotriolides). The macrosphelides strongly inhibit the adhesion of human-leukemia HL-60 cells to human-umbilical-vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in dose-dependent fashion (IC50 3.5 and 36 µM, respectively). 12 Preliminary studies suggest that 1 and 2 prevent cell-cell adhesion by inhibiting the binding of sialyl Lewis x to E-selectin. 13 Macrosphelide A also proved to be orally active against lung metastasis of B16/BL6 melanoma in mice (50 mg/kg). Importantly, 1 did not inhibit the growth of various mammalian cell lines (0.2 mg/mL) or microorganisms (1 mg/mL) in vitro. No acute toxicity was observed upon intraperitoneal injection into BDF1 mice (200 mg/kg for 5 days). 13 The macrosphelides also display significant activity against the rodent-ear edema reaction induced by arachidonic acid and, thus, may serve as valuable leads for the development of lipoxygenase inhibitors. 13 In conjunction with our continuing
