RESUMO
Two new phenanthroquinolizidine alkaloids (1: and 2: ) and a new piperidine derivative (3: ) were isolated from the leaves of Pilea aff. martinii together with 3 known alkaloids: julandine (4: ), cryptopleurine (5: ), and 1,3,6,6-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-isoquinolin-8-one (6: ). Their structures were determined by spectral data analyses including mass spectrometry and 2-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance data. The absolute configurations of 1: -3: were established by comparison of their experimental circular dichroism data with the calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against 4 cancer cell lines: KB (mouth epidermal carcinoma cells), HepG-2 (human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells), LU-1 (human lung adenocarcinoma cells), and MCF-7 (human breast cancer cells). The new phenanthroquinolizidine pileamartine D (2: ) showed strong and selective proliferation inhibition toward KB and HepG-2 cells with IC50 values of 25 and 27 nM, respectively. Pileamartine C (1: ), julandine (4: ), and cryptopleurine (5: ) exhibited cytotoxicity against 4 tested cancer cell lines with IC50 values less than 1 µM.

Eurycoma longifolia is an herbal medicinal plant popularly used in Southeast Asian countries. In the present study, we show that 7-methoxy-(9H-ß-carbolin-1-il)-(E)-1-propenoic acid (7-MCPA), a ß-carboline alkaloid isolated from E. longifolia, exerted anti-inflammatory effects by activating the nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway. 7-MCPA inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in RAW264.7 cells and rescued C57BL/6 mice from LPS-induced lethality in vivo. LPS-induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and IL-6 was also significantly suppressed by treatment of 7-MCPA in RAW264.7 cells. 7-MCPA induced nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and increased transcription of its target genes, such as HO-1. Treating RAW264.7 cells with 7-MCPA increased the intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the phosphorylation level of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK); however, co-treatment with the antioxidant N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) blocked 7-MCPA-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Moreover, NAC or SB203580 (p38 MAPK inhibitor) blocked 7-MCPA-induced nuclear translocation of Nrf2, suggesting that 7-MCPA activated Nrf2 via a ROS-dependent p38 pathway. 7-MCPA induced HO-1 protein and mRNA expression and knockdown of Nrf2 with siRNA or SB203580 blocked 7-MCPA-mediated induction of HO-1 expression. Inhibiting Nrf2 or HO-1 abrogated the anti-inflammatory effects of 7-MCPA in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. We also demonstrated that 7-MCPA suppressed LPS-induced nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation. These results provide the first evidence that 7-MCPA exerts its anti-inflammatory effect by modulating the Nrf2 and NF-κB pathways and may be a potential Nrf2 activator to prevent or treat inflammatory diseases.

A rapid screening by (1)H and (1)H-(13)C HSQC NMR spectroscopy of EtOAc extracts of Endiandra and Beilschmiedia species allowed the selection of Beilschmiedia ferruginea leaves and flowers extract for a chemical investigation, leading to the isolation of 11 new tetracyclic endiandric acid analogues, named ferrugineic acids A-K (1-11). Their structures were determined by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis in combination with HRMS data. These compounds were assayed for Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 binding affinities. Ferrugineic acids B, C, and J (2, 3, and 10) exhibited significant binding affinity for both antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-xL (Ki = 19.2, 12.6, and 19.4 µM, respectively) and Mcl-1 (Ki = 14.0, 13.0, and 5.2 µM, respectively), and ferrugineic acid D (4) showed only significant inhibiting activity for Mcl-1 (Ki = 5.9 µM).

Eight new aryltetralin lignans, cleisindosides A-F (1-6), picroburseranin (7), and 7-hydroxypicropolygamain (8), were isolated from the fruits of Cleistanthus indochinensis (Euphorbiaceae). The structures of the isolates were established on the basis of their one- and two-dimensional NMR spectral data, as well as their mass spectrometric data. Compound 7 was found to have potent cytotoxicity against oral epidermoid carcinoma cells with an IC50 value of 0.062 µM, whereas glycosylation to 3 (IC50 7.5 µM) and stereochemical changes to 8 (IC50 10.8 µM) led to marked decreases in biological activity. Thus, it was determined that the C-7 and C-8' positions are critical for the biological activity of the lignans from this plant.

CONTEXT: A methanol extract of Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae) rhizomes showed inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and α-amylase, two enzymes involve in carbohydrate digestion. OBJECTIVE: Identification of compounds from C. rotundus rhizomes responsible for the inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Compounds were identified by a phytochemical investigation using combined chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities were evaluated by in vitro enzyme inhibition assays. RESULTS: A new (2RS,3SR)-3,4',5,6,7,8-hexahydroxyflavane (1), together with three known stilbene dimers cassigarol E (2), scirpusin A (3) and B (4) were isolated. Compound 2 inhibited both α-glucosidase and α-amylase activities while the flavane 1 only showed effect on α-amylase, and compounds 3 and 4 were active on α-glucosidase. All four compounds showed significant 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity. DISCUSSION: The inhibitory activities against α-amylase and α-glucosidase of the C. rotundus rhizomes were reported for the first time. Stilbene dimers are considered as potent inhibitors of α-glucosidase and promising antihyperglycemic agents. CONCLUSION: The isolated compounds may contribute to the antidiabetic property of C. rotundus.

Three new C29 sterols with a cyclopropane ring cyclized between C-26 and C-27 of the side chain, aragusterol I (1), 21-O-octadecanoyl-xestokerol A (4), and 7ß-hydroxypetrosterol (5b), were isolated from the Vietnamese marine sponge Xestospongia testudinaria, along with the known compounds, aragusterol B (2), xestokerol A (3), 7α-hydroxypetrosterol (5a), 7-oxopetrosterol (6), and petrosterol (7). The structures of the new compounds were established by analysis of spectroscopic data including 1D and 2D NMR, and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS). Their capacity to inhibit the adhesion of isolated bacteria from marine biofilms was evaluated against the bacterial strains Pseudoalteromonas sp. D41, Pseudoalteromonas sp. TC8, and Polaribacter sp. TC5. Aragusterol B (2) and 21-O-octadecanoyl-xestokerol A (4) exhibited the most potent antifouling activity with EC50 values close to these reported in the literature for tributyltin oxide, a marine anti-biofouling agent now considered to be a severe marine pollutant. Due to its comparable activity to tributyltin oxide and its absence of toxicity, the new 26,27-cyclosterol, 21-O-octadecanoyl-xestokerol A (4) constitutes a promising scaffold for further investigations.

Two new lignans, palatiferin A (1) and palatiferin B (2), were isolated from the roots of Pseuderanthemum palatiferum, together with five known triterpenes, epifriedelanol (3), lupeol (4), lupenone (5), betulin (6), pomolic acid (7), and a dipeptide asperglaucide (8). Their structures were established from 2D NMR and mass spectroscopy. The absolute configuration of 1 and 2 was proposed based on the comparison of their optical rotation activities with those of compounds with similar structures such as wodeshiol and paulownin. The new lignans, palatiferin A (1) and palatiferin B (2) exhibited a moderate cytotoxicity against KB and HepG2 cell lines. However, betulin and lupeol, two abundant compounds from the roots of P. palatiferum, showed cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities.
