New Okadaic Acid Analogues from the Marine Sponge <i>Merriamum </i><i>o</i><i>xeato </i>and Their Effect on Mitosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Inhibitors of the G2 DNA damage checkpoint can selectively sensitize cancer cells with impaired p53 tumor suppressor activity to killing by DNA-damaging drugs or ionizing radiation and have been proposed as a promising therapeutic strategy. An extract from the Northeastern Pacific marine sponge Merriamum oxeato showed G2 checkpoint inhibitory activity, and fractionation identified the known dinoflagellate toxin dinophysistoxin 1 (1) and the two novel analogues 27-O-acetylokadaic acid (2) and 27-O-acetyldinophysistoxin 1 (3) as the active compounds. The mixture of 1, 2, and 3 was extremely potent at inhibiting the G2 checkpoint (IC(50) = 1 ng/mL) and cellular protein Ser/Thr phosphatases (IC(50) = 1 ng/mL), and it radiosensitized MCF-7 breast cancer cells expressing mutated p53 at all concentrations tested. However, the mixture of 1, 2, and 3 was also very toxic to cells not exposed to DNA damage (IC(50) = 1 ng/mL), making these compounds poor candidates for therapeutic agents to augment the effectiveness of DNA-damaging therapies.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
