SDR enzymes oxidize specific lipidic alkynylcarbinols into cytotoxic protein-reactive species

2021-09-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Hundreds of cytotoxic natural or synthetic lipidic compounds contain chiral alkynylcarbinol motifs, but the mechanism of action of those potential therapeutic agents remains unknown. Using a genetic screen in haploid human cells, we discovered that the enantiospecific cytotoxicity of numerous terminal alkynylcarbinols, including the highly cytotoxic dialkynylcarbinols, involves a bioactivation b...
