Abstract

Background. Fisturalines are bromotyrosine compounds isolated from marine sponges. Previous studies have shown antineoplasic, antiviral and antibacterial effects in Vitro; however, the possible effects of these compounds in hematologic malignancies have not been assessed. Methods. In the present study, the antiproliferative and pro apoptotic effects of Fistularin-3 (F) and 11-Deoxyfistularin-3 (DF) were assessed using the MTT method and annexin V/propidium iodide by flow cytometry using the cell lines: Jurkat E6.1 and U937. In addition, the cell cycle was assessed by flow cytometry. Results. Inhibition of the proliferative response was concentration and time dependent. The IC50 of F was 7.39 and 8.10 M for Jurkat E6.1 and U937 respectively. At 24 and 48 h, in the U937 cell line, but not in the Jurkat cell line, both compounds induced up to 35% annexin V increase. Necrosis was not observed in any case. Compound F induced, in both cell lines, a decrease in the number of cells in the S phase and increase in the G0/G1 phase. In the Jurkat cell line only, there was an increase in the number of cells in the G2/M phase. Compound DF was not as effective as F. Conclusions. F is more active than DF in repressing the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis. Both compounds are potentially useful in the development of new drugs to treat hematologic malignancies.
