Herein, we report the cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) structure of cruentaren A bound to ATP synthase, which allowed the design of new inhibitors through semisynthetic modification. Examples of cruentaren A derivatives include a trans-alkene isomer, which was found to exhibit similar activity to cruentaren A against three cancer cell lines as well as several other analogues that retained potent inhibitory activity. Together, these studies provide a foundation for the generation of cruentaren A derivatives as potential therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. |
