RESUMO
Resin glycosides are characteristic of plants of the Convolvulaceae family and are well-known purgative ingredients in crude drugs, such as Rhizoma Jalapae, Orizaba Jalapa Tuber, and Pharbitidis Semen, which are used in traditional medicine and derived from plants belonging to this family. Isolated resin glycosides have demonstrated diverse biological activities, including antibacterial, ionophoric, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and multidrug-resistance-modulating properties, as well as cytotoxicity against cancer cells. These compounds consist of hydroxyl fatty acid oligoglycosides (glycosidic acids), with portions of the saccharide moieties acylated with some organic acids to form the core structure. This study investigated the glycosidic acid components of a crude resin glycoside fraction obtained from a methanolic extract of Ipomoea alba L. seeds (Convolvulaceae). Eleven new glycosidic acid methyl esters and one known methyl ester were isolated from a glycosidic acid fraction treated with trimethylsilyldiazomethane in hexane. Their structures were determined using acidic hydrolysis and electrospray ionization-time of fight mass spectrometry and NMR spectral analyses. These compounds are penta-, tetra-, or triglycosides, with methyl 11S-hydroxytetradecanoate or methyl 11S-hydroxyhexadecanoate as the aglycone. Although D-quinovose and L-rhamnose are common monosaccharide components, the remaining monosaccharides are D-glucose, D-xylose, or D-fucose. The crude resin glycoside fraction showed non-negligible cytotoxicity against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells.
RESUMO
Background: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) associated with solid tumors such as mature cystic teratomas is rare and poorly understood. Here, we report a successfully treated case of secondary AIHA in a mature cystic teratoma containing antibodies against red blood cells. Case description. A 22-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with progressive anemia. Laboratory findings revealed hemolysis with a positive direct and indirect antiglobulin test. Imaging studies identified a left ovarian mass, suspected to be a mature cystic teratoma, which was later confirmed by histopathology after laparoscopic oophorocystectomy. The patient was treated with prednisolone, resulting in improved anemia. To examine the relationship between the tumor and AIHA, an indirect antiglobulin test was performed on the tumor contents. Stronger aggregations were observed at any concentration diluted by 10 times from 10 to 10,000 times of the tumor contents compared to the patient's serum. Additionally, immunofixation electrophoresis of the tumor contents revealed the presence of monoclonal immunoglobulin G-κ. Conclusion: The presence of monoclonal IgG-κ in the tumor suggests intratumoral antibody production as a possible mechanism. Further research is necessary to elucidate the pathogenic relationship between such tumors and AIHA. The report also highlights the importance of considering secondary AIHA in patients with unexplained anemia and solid tumors.
RESUMO
Introduction: As inhibitors of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), such as pyridoxamine, significantly inhibit the development of retinopathy and neuropathy in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes, treatment with AGE inhibitors is believed to be a potential strategy for the prevention of aging, age-related diseases, and lifestyle-related diseases, including diabetic complications. In the present study, the MeOH extract of Epimedii Herba (EH; aerial parts of Epimedium spp.) was found to inhibit the formation of N ε -(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and N ω -(carboxymethyl) arginine (CMA) during the incubation of collagen-derived gelatin with ribose. Materials and methods: EH was purchased from Uchida Wakan-yaku Co., and a MeOH extract was prepared. Several steps of column chromatography purified the extract. Each fraction was tested for inhibitory activity by ELISA using monoclonal antibodies for CML and CMA. Results: After activity-guided fractionation and purification by column chromatography, three new prenylflavonoids [named Koreanoside L (1), Koreanoside E1 (2), and Koreanoside E2 (3)] and 40 known compounds (4-43) were isolated from EH, and their inhibitory effects against CML and CMA formation were tested. Among these, epimedokoreanin B (8), epimedonin E (21), epicornunin B (22), and epicornunin F (24) inhibited the formation of both CML and CMA, with epimedokoreanin B (8) having the most potent inhibitory effect among the isolated compounds. To obtain the structure-activity relationships of 8, the phenolic hydroxy groups of 8 were methylated by trimethylsilyl-diazomethane to afford the partially and completely methylated compounds of 8. Prenyl derivatives of propolis (artepillin C, baccharin, and drupanin) were used in the assay. Discussion: As only 8 showed significant activity among these compounds, the catechol group of the B ring and the two prenyl groups attached to the flavanone skeleton were essential for activity. These data suggest that 8 could prevent the clinical complications of diabetes and age-related diseases by inhibiting AGEs.
RESUMO
The nutrient intake of persons with diabetes placed on a low-carbohydrate diet remains unclear. This study aimed to assess nutrient intake in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with a low-carbohydrate diet. The brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire was used to collect the dietary information of 335 outpatients at Kitasato Institute Hospital, while their clinical characteristics were collected from their electronic medical records. The median age, HbA1c level, and body mass index of the participants were 68 (60-74) years, 49 (45-55) mmol/mol [6.7 (6.3-7.2)%], and 24.0 (21.8-26.7) kg/m2, respectively; median energy intake was 1457 (1153-1786) kcal/day; and protein-energy, fat-energy, and available carbohydrate-energy ratios were 18.6 (15.7-21.4)%E, 36.8 (31.6-43.2)%E, and 34.6 (26.0-42.4)%E, respectively. As the available carbohydrate-energy ratio decreased, the fat-energy ratio increased significantly. The total dietary fibre and salt intake were 7.1 (5.6-8.4) g/1000 kcal and 6.5 (5.6-7.5) g/1000 kcal, respectively. Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus placed on a low-carbohydrate diet had a fat-to-energy ratio exceeding 30%, while the fat-energy ratio increased as the carbohydrate-energy ratio decreased.

Resin glycosides act as laxatives in crude drugs derived from plants of the Convolvulaceae family. These compounds have exhibited antibacterial, ionophoric, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and multidrug resistance-modulating properties, as well as cytotoxicity against cancer cells. This study investigated the organic acid, hydroxyl fatty acid, monosaccharide, and glycosidic acid components of the crude resin glycoside fraction obtained from the methanol extract of Ipomoea alba L. (Convolvulaceae) seeds, which was subjected to alkaline and acidic hydrolysis. The alkaline hydrolysis yielded acetic, isobutyric, (E)-2-methylbut-2-enoic, and 2S-methyl-3S-hydroxybutyric acids as organic acid components, along with a glycosidic acid fraction. The acidic hydrolysis of the glycosidic acid fraction resulted in the isolation of 11S-hydroxytetradecanoic and 11S-hydroxyhexadecanoic acids as hydroxyl fatty acid components, as well as d-glucose, d-quinovose, d-fucose, d-xylose, and l-rhamnose as monosaccharide components. In addition, 10 new glycosidic acid methyl esters were isolated from the glycosidic acid fraction treated with trimethylsilyldiazomethane-hexane, along with one known glycosidic acid methyl ester. Of these, eight compounds contained new glycans. Four of these compounds were unusual natural glycosides with four glycosidic linkages to one monosaccharide. Their structures were determined using MS and NMR spectral analyses, which provided valuable insights into the unique glycosidic composition of I. alba seeds.

This case of non-nodal mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) showcases atypical hairy cell-like features, distinguishing it via next-generation sequencing. Despite a TP53 mutation indicating poor prognosis, our case followed an indolent course, highlighting the importance of genetic testing and phenotypical examination in MCL.
RESUMO
Ipomoea muricata (L.) Jacq. seeds (Convolvulaceae) are used as a traditional laxative and carminative medicine. Muricatins XIV (1), XV (2), XVI (3), and XVII (4), were isolated from I. muricata seeds as four new resin glycosides, along with seven known compounds, three of which were isolated for the first time as natural products; their structures were determined using MS and NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 1-4 are macrolactones (jalapins); the sugar moieties of 1, 2, and 4 are partially acylated with 2S-methylbutyric acid, while that of 3 is esterified with 2S-methylbutyric and 2S-methyl-3S-hydroxybutyric acids. In addition, the antiviral activities of the seven compounds obtained in this study, together with five known compounds obtained in our previous study into resin glycosides from I. muricata seeds, were evaluated against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1); their cytotoxicities against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells were also investigated. All examined jalapins exhibited similar or slightly weaker anti-HSV-1 activities than acyclovir, the positive control; however, the glycosidic acid of 4 was inactive, while its methyl ester was weakly active. On the other hand, cytotoxicity testing against HL-60 cells showed similar results to those observed during anti-HSV-1 activity testing, with the exception that one jalapin was less active.

Resin glycosides are commonly found in plants belonging to the Convolvulaceae family. Ipomoea lacunosa L. (Convolvulaceae) is an herbaceous vine native to the United States. The resin glycosides of this plant have not been studied in detail. In this study, the components of the crude resin glycoside fraction extracted from the seeds of I. lacunosa are characterized. Alkaline hydrolysis of the crude resin glycoside fraction obtained from methanolic extract of the seeds yielded three organic acids, namely, 2S-methylbutyric, (E)-2-methylbut-2-enoic, and 2R-methyl-3R-hydroxybutyric acids, and a glycosidic acid fraction. Acidic hydrolysis of the glycosidic acid fraction yielded hydroxyl fatty acid components, including 7S-hydroxydecanoic, 11S-hydroxytetradecanoic, 11S-hydroxyhexadecanoic, 3S,11S-dihydroxytetradecanoic, 3S,11S-dihydroxyhexadecanoic, and 3S,12S-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acids, as well as monosaccharide components, including d-glucose, d-quinovose, d-fucose, and l-rhamnose. Trimethylsilyldiazomethane-hexane treatment of the glycosidic acid fraction further yielded eleven previously undescribed glycosidic acid methyl esters and two known glycosidic acid methyl esters. The structures of the obtained compounds were characterized using various spectral techniques. Four of the undescribed compounds were hexaglycosides, five were heptaglycosides, and two were octaglycosides. The aglycone of these compounds was either methyl 11S-hydroxytetradecanoate, methyl 3S,11S-dihydroxytetradecanoate, or methyl 3S,11S-dihydroxyhexadecanoate. Among the undescribed compounds identified, eight contained novel glycans, and three were rare bisdesmosides with sugar linkages at the C-3 and C-11 positions of methyl 3S,11S-dihydroxytetradecanoate.

Calystegia hederacea Wall. (Convolvulaceae) is a perennial herbaceous vine that grows widely in India and East Asia. All parts of this plant are used to treat various disorders such as menoxenia and gonorrhea. Four new resin glycosides, calyhedins XI (1)-XIV (4), were isolated from the rhizomes of C. hederacea. A new glycoside, calyhedin XV (5), was isolated from its leaves and stems. Alkaline hydrolysis of 1 and 2 furnished a new glycosidic acid, calyhedic acid G (1a), from 1 and a new acid, calyhedic acid H (2a), from 2 along with 2S-methylbutyric acid and 2R-methyl-3R-hydroxybutyric (2R,3R-nilic) acid. The structures of 1-5, 1a, and 2a were determined using MS and NMR spectral analyses. Compounds 1a and 2a had the same sugar moiety, ß-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 â 6)-O-ß-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 â 6)-O-ß-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 â 3)-[O-ß-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 â 3)-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 â 2)]-O-ß-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 â 2)-ß-D-fucopyranose, while their aglycones were 11S-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid and 12S-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid, respectively. These compounds are the first glycosidic acids, with fucose as the monosaccharide component obtained from the resin glycosides of C. hederacea. Compounds 1-5, comprising either 1a or 2a, were heptaglycosides with macrolactone structures, and their sugar moieties were partially acylated with 5 mol of organic acids comprising 2S-methylbutyric, (E)-2-methylbut-2-enoic, and 2R,3R-nilic acids. Compounds 1 and 5 had 22-membered rings, while 2-4 had 28-membered rings. In addition, 1 and 5 exhibited cytotoxic activity against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells, comparable to that of the positive control cisplatin.

The alkaline hydrolysis of the crude resin glycoside fraction from the leaves and stems of the plant Calystegia japonica Choisy (Convolvulaceae) yielded organic acid and glycosidic acid fractions. The organic acid fraction was esterified with p-bromophenacyl bromide to obtain p-bromophenacyl 2R-methyl-3R-hydroxybutyrate (1) and p-bromophenacyl (E)-2-methylbut-2-enoate (2). By treating the glycosidic acid fraction with trimethylsilyldiazomethane-hexane, seven new methyl esters of glycosidic acids, namely calyjaponic acid A methyl ester (3) calyjaponic acid B methyl ester (5), calyjaponic acid C methyl ester (6), calyjaponic acid D methyl ester (7), calyjaponic acid E methyl ester (8), calyjaponic acid F methyl ester (9), and calyjaponic acid G methyl ester (10), were isolated along with one known ester (4). Their structures were characterized based on spectroscopic and chemical analyses. Compounds 3-8 had the same sugar moiety, α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 â 2)-O-ß-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 â 2)-[O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 â 6)]-O-ß-D-glucopyranose, and the aglycones of 3-8 were methyl 3S,11S-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, methyl 3S,12S-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, methyl 11S-hydroxyhexadecanoate, methyl 11S-hydroxypentadecanoate, methyl 3S,11S-dihydroxypentadecanoate, and methyl 3S,12S-dihydroxypentadecanoate, respectively. Compounds 9 and 10 were derivatives of 3 and 4, respectively, in which the C-6 of the second glucosyl residue was methylated. Compounds 6-8 contained methyl esters of unusual odd-carbon fatty acids as aglycones. The cytotoxicity of the crude resin glycoside fraction and 3 against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells was evaluated further; both were either weakly active or inactive compared to the positive control, cisplatin.

Most patients with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) have a family history of disease, while those without such a history are difficult to diagnose. We herein report a case of HS with no family history harboring a novel heterozygous mutation of SPTA1, c.2161G>A (p.E721K), and a homozygous polymorphism of UGT1A1*6. In silico analyses suggested that the mutation might contribute to the pathogenesis of HS. The coexistence of HS and Gilbert's syndrome increases the risk of gallstones. Therefore, splenectomy, alone or in combination with cholecystectomy, is recommended. The determination of genetic diathesis provides useful information for the management of hemolytic anemia.

Richter's syndrome (RS) of the central nervous system (CNS) is known to have an extremely poor prognosis. Ibrutinib has been reported to have some activity in patients with RS, despite its poor prognosis. Although ibrutinib crosses the blood-brain barrier, its efficacy in RS patients with CNS involvement remains unknown. Here, we report a case of RS isolated in the CNS that was confirmed to be clonally related to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) by immunoglobulin heavy chain gene analysis. Although the median survival of patients with RS clonally related to CLL was significantly shorter than that of patients with RS clonally unrelated to CLL, the patient received ibrutinib monotherapy without experiencing any significant adverse events, and the disease remained stable with ibrutinib until 6 weeks later. Following whole-brain radiation therapy (40 Gy in 20 fractions) with dexamethasone, the patient has survived for five months after diagnosis. Thus, ibrutinib may be a safe and effective therapeutic option for patients with RS and CNS involvement.

Two new resin glycosides, muricatins XII (1) and XIII (2), were isolated from the crude resin glycoside fraction of the seeds of Ipomoea muricata (L.) Jacq. (Convolvulaceae), along with three known ones, muricatins V (3), VI (4), and IX (5). Compounds 1 and 2 contained new glycosidic acids, muricatic acids E (1a) and F (2a), respectively. The structures of these compounds were determined using data obtained from spectroscopy measurements and chemical evidence. The results suggested that 1 and 2 have macrolactone structures (jalapins). Furthermore, the cytotoxic activity of the crude resin glycoside fraction and 3-5 against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukaemia cells was evaluated. All tested samples demonstrated cytotoxic activities.
RESUMO
At initial diagnosis, central nervous system (CNS) involvement in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is rare. Here, we report a case of newly diagnosed APL with CNS involvement that was successfully treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-combined chemotherapy. A 64-year-old woman was referred to our hospital to evaluate a bleeding tendency, and she was diagnosed with APL. Induction chemotherapy with ATRA via a nasogastric tube was initiated under mechanical ventilation because of respiratory failure and disturbance of consciousness. Although her respiratory condition improved a few days after initiating treatment, the disturbance of consciousness remained. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed mixed signals of tumor infiltration and acute cerebral infarction with a focus on the right cerebellum. The patient was diagnosed with CNS involvement of APL and acute cerebral infarction. Three months after the initiation of induction therapy, her consciousness improved along with the reduction in CNS involvement, and complete molecular remission was achieved. Thus, patients with APL can have CNS involvement at initial diagnosis. Administering ATRA via nasogastric tube can be a good therapeutic option in patients with difficulty swallowing due to disturbance of consciousness.

A new cholestane-type steroidal glycoside, solamyriaside A (1), was isolated from the fruits of Solanum myriacanthum Dunal (Solanaceae), along with two known steroidal glycosides, namely, solaviaside A (2) and aculeatiside A (3), and three known steroidal alkaloid glycosides, namely, solamargine (4), khasianine (5) and solasonine (6), which were isolated for the first time from this plant. Based on spectroscopic data as well as chemical evidence, 1 was determined to be 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1â2)-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1â4)]-ß-D-glucopyranosyl-22R,25R-cholest-5-ene-3ß,16α,22,26-tetraol 26-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside. The cytotoxic activity of 1-6 against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukaemia cells was examined. Compounds 4-6 showed cytotoxic activity. Among them, 4 exhibited the strongest activity with an IC50 value of 4.64 ± 0.17 µM, similar to the activity of cisplatin, a positive control.

Sézary syndrome is a rare leukemic type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma characterized by the presence of neoplastic T cells with cerebriform nuclei (Sézary cells) in the skin, lymph nodes, and peripheral blood. Typical Sézary cells have a CD3+CD4+CD8- phenotype; however, in cases of the aberrant loss of antigens on Sézary cells, especially the loss of critically important T-cell antigens such as CD4, there is a possibility of misdiagnosing the disease or underestimating the tumor burden of the disease. Here, we report a rare case of Sézary syndrome with CD4/CD8 double-negative Sézary cells in the peripheral blood. Most of the Sézary cells in the peripheral blood had lost CD4 expression, and we diagnosed the disease and evaluated the tumor burden by multicolor flow cytometry. Intriguingly, the Sézary cells showed a typical CD4+CD8-CD7- phenotype in the skin even though the cells in the peripheral blood lacked CD4. The patient responded well to treatment with bexarotene and narrow-band ultraviolet B therapy. Analysis by multicolor flow cytometry is essential to diagnose this rare type of Sézary syndrome and evaluate the tumor burden.

Resin glycosides are well known as the purgative ingredients, which are characteristic of convolvulaceous plants. Calystegia hederacea Wall. is a perennial herbaceous vine that is widespread throughout India and East Asia. All parts of this plant are used for the treatment of menoxenia, gonorrhea, etc. Alkaline hydrolysis of the crude resin glycoside fraction of the whole plants of C. hederacea yielded four new glycosidic acids, calyhedic acids A, B, C, and D, along with two known glycosidic acids, calysolic acids A and C, and three known organic acids, 2S-methylbutyric, tiglic, and 2R,3R-nilic acids. Their structures were characterized on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical evidence. Calyhedic acids A, B, and D were penta-, hexa-, and hepta-glycosides of 12S-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, respectively, and cayhedic acid C was an isomer of calyhedic acid D, in which the 12S-hydroxyhexadecanoyl residue of calyhedic acid D was replaced by a 11S-hydroxyhexadecanoyl residue. Additionally, cytotoxic activity toward HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells of the crude resin glycoside fraction, the glycosidic acid fraction, calyhedic acid A, and calysolic acid A from C. hederacea was evaluated. Furthermore, to clarify the structure-activity relationship of resin glycosides, the activities of six genuine resin glycosides with calysolic acid A or calysolic acid C as the glycosidic acid, which were isolated from C. soldanella, were examined. Among them, the crude resin glycoside fraction and five genuine resin glycosides with macrolactone structures demonstrated clear cytotoxic activities, while the glycosidic acid fraction, calyhedric acid A, calysolic acid A, and a genuine non-macrolactone-type resin glycoside were either inactive or exhibited weaker activity than the tested macrolactone-type resin glycosides.

Four hexaglycosides of methyl 3S,12S-dihydroxyhexadecanoate (1-4) were provided after treatment of the crude convolvulin fraction from Rhizoma Jalapae Braziliensis (the root of Ipomoea operculata (GOMES) MART., Convolvulaceae) with indium(III) chloride in methanol. The structures of 1-4 were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical methods. Their sugar moieties were partially acylated with organic acids including (3S,9R)-3,6:6,9-diepoxydecanoic (exogonic) acid, (E)-2-methylbut-2-enoic (tiglic) acid, and isovaleric acid.
