Abstract
Fellutamide B is reported to have cytotoxic and proteasome inhibitory activity. Interestingly, fellutamide B and its simplified analogues have also been observed for the neurotrophic activity by stimulating the synthesis and secretion of neurotrophins. Owing to the interesting structural and potent neurotrophic role of fellutamide B (a lipopeptide aldehyde), we have assessed the synthetic path intermediates (compounds A-D) of fellutamide B for their neuroactive potential (in vitro and in vivo). We have observed few compounds (comp #A-D) to have potential neurite outgrowth activity in Neuro2a cells with no observable negative effect on the cell viability. In addition, most compounds (comp #A, C, and D) have shown neurogenic activity ex vivo in hippocampal neurosphere culture, with increased acetyl H3 and acetyl H4 induction ability (comp #C). Furthermore, the intermediate product comp #C has shown anxiolytic and antidepressant-like activity in novel tank test and social interaction test, in the chronic unpredictable stress model of zebrafish mood disorder, inducing BDNF gene expression in the telencephalon region of the fish brain. Our results thus demonstrate that the fellutamide B synthetic path intermediates have potential neurotrophic, neurogenic, and mood-elevating effects and thus good prospect to be developed as potential therapeutics to treat psychiatric disorders.
