Biochem/physiol Actions

Homoharringtonine (Omacetaxine mepesuccinate) is a translation elongation inhibitor, a cytotoxic alkaloid originally isolated from the evergreen tree, Cephalotaxus hainanensis. Homoharringtonine binds to the 80S ribosome in eukaryotic cells and inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with chain elongation. Homoharringtonine blocks progression of leukemic cells from G1 phase into S phase and from G2 phase into M phase. Homoharringtonine (Omacetaxine mepesuccinate) was approved in October 2012 (Synribo) for the treatment of adult patients with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) with resistance and/or intolerance to two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

The effect of Cephalotaxus alkaloids--homoharringtonine and cephalotaxine--on translation in a cell-free system from rabbit reticulocytes and on phenylalanine polymerisation by human ribosomes was studied. The effect of the alkaloids on the nonenzymatic and the eEF-1-dependent Phe-tRNA(Phe) binding to poly(U)-programmed 80S

Homoharringtonine (HHT) is a cytotoxic alkaloid isolated from the evergreen tree cephalotaxus harringtonia native to the southern provinces of China. The principal mechanism of action of HHT is the inhibition of protein synthesis in a dose- and time-dependent manner by
