Phytocannabinoid-like meroterpenoids from twigs and leaves of Rhododendron spinuliferum.

Six pairs of previously undescribed enantiomeric phytocannabinoid-like meroterpenoids, (±)-spinulinoids A‒F, and two naturally occurring compounds, (+)-rhododaurichromanic acid A and (E)-4-((3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl)oxy)benzoic acid, together with one known congener, (-)-rhododaurichromanic acid A, were obtained from the twigs and leaves of Rhododendron spinuliferum. Their structures were established by their extensive spectral data (NMR and HRESIMS), ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Spinulinoids A and B are unprecedented phytocannabinoid-like meroterpenoids constructed by the resorcinol moiety and a ß-bisabolene unit, whereas spinulinoid C represents a rare adduct of quinone and ß-bisabolene with a tricyclic 6/6/6 ring system.

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory phloroglucinols from tropic Rhodomyrtus tomentosa.

Four previously undescribed phloroglucinols, including three pairs of enantiomers, (±)-rhodotomentodimer F, (±)-rhodotomentodimer G, and (±)-rhodotomentomonomer E, and one phloroglucinol-sesquiterpene meroterpenoid, rhodotomentodione E, together with one previously reported congener, (±)-rhodomyrtosone A, were obtained from the leaves of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa. The structures including absolute configurations of previously undescribed isolates were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis (HRESIMS and NMR), ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. (±)-Rhodotomentodimer F is a rare phloroglucinol derivative conjugated by a ß-triketone moiety and an unprecedented resorcinol unit via the formation of a rare bis-furan ring system, whereas (±)-rhodotomentomonomer E shares a rearranged pentacyclic scaffold. Pharmacologically, (±)-rhodotomentomonomer E showed the strongest human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 1.04 ± 0.05 µM. Molecular formula studies revealed that hydrogen bonds formed between hAChE residues Glu202, Ser203, Ala204, Gly121, Gly122, Tyr337, and His447 and (±)-rhodotomentomonomer E played crucial roles in its observed activity. These findings indicated that the leaves of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa can supply a rich source of hAChE inhibitors. These inhibitors might potentially be utilized in the therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease, offering promising candidates for further research and development.

Novel Alkaloids from Aspergillus fumigatus VDL36, an Endophytic Fungus Associated with Vaccinium dunalianum.

Eleven alkaloids (1-11) including seven new ones, 1-7, were isolated from the solid fermentation of Aspergillus fumigatus VDL36, an endophytic fungus isolated from the leaves of Vaccinium dunalianum Wight (Ericaceae), a perennial evergreen shrub distributed across the Southwest regions of China, Myanmar, and Vietnam. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods. The isolates were evaluated for in vitro antifungal activities against five phytopathogenic fungi (Fusarium oxysporum, Coriolus versicolor, Fusarium solani, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium graminearum). As a result, the new compounds fumigaclavine I (1), 13-ethoxycyclotryprostatin A (5), 13-dehydroxycyclotryprostatin A (6), and 12ß-hydroxy-13-oxofumitremorgin C (7) exhibited antifungal activities with MIC values of 7.8-62.5 µg/mL which were comparable to the two positive controls ketoconazole (MIC = 7.8-31.25 µg/mL) and carbendazim (MIC = 1.95-7.8 µg/mL). Furthermore, compounds 1 and 5 demonstrated potent protective and curative effects against the tomato gray mold in vivo. Preliminary structure-activity relationships of the tested indole diketopiperazine alkaloids indicate that the introduction of a substituent group at position C-13 enhances their biological activities.

Oligomeric phloroglucinols with hAChE inhibitory and antibacterial activities from tropic Rhodomyrtus tomentosa.

Alzheimer's diseases (AD) and other infectious diseases caused by drug-resistance bacteria have posed a serious threat to human lives and global health. With the aim to search for human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibitors and antibacterial agents from medicinal plants, 16 phloroglucinol oligomers, including two new phloroglucinol monomers (1a and 1b), four new phloroglucinol dimers (3a, 3b, 4b, and 5a), six new phloroglucinol trimers (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, and 8b), and two naturally occurring phloroglucinol monomers (2a and 2b), along with two known congeners (4a and 5b), were purified from the leaves of tropic Rhodomyrtus tomentosa. The structures and absolute configurations of these new isolates were unequivocally established by comprehensive analyses of their spectroscopic data (NMR and HRESIMS), ECD calculation, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Structurally, 3a/3b shared a rare C-5' formyl group, whereas 6a/6b possessed a unique C-7' aromatic ring. In addition, 7a/7b and 8a/8b were rare phloroglucinol trimers with a bis-furan and a C-6' hemiketal group. Pharmacologically, the mixture of 3a and 3b showed the most potent human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 1.21 ± 0.16 µM. The molecular docking studies of 3a and 3b in the hAChE binding sites were performed, displaying good agreement with the in vitro inhibitory effects. In addition, the mixture of 3a and 3b displayed the most significant anti-MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) with MIC and MBC values of both 0.50 µg/mL, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies revealed that they could destroy the biofilm structures of MRSA. The findings provide potential candidates for the further development of anti-AD and anti-bacterial agents.

Ormosianines A-P, Structurally Diverse Quinolizidine Alkaloids with AChE Inhibitory Effects from Ormosia yunnanensis.

Sixteen new quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs), named ormosianines A-P (1-16), and 18 known congeners (17-34) were isolated from the stems and leaves of Ormosia yunnanensis. The structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic analyses and electron circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Structurally, ormosianines A (1) and B (2) are the first examples of cytisine and Ormosia-type alkaloids with the cleavage of the piperidine ring. Results of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory assay revealed that the pentacycline Ormosia-type QAs, including 1, 16, 24, and 27-29, are good AChE inhibitors. Ormosianine A (1) exhibited more potent AChE inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 1.55 µM. Molecular docking revealed that 1 might bind to the protein 1DX4, forming two hydrogen bonds with residues SER-238 and HIS-480.

Munronin V with 7/7/6 tricarbocyclic framework from Munronia henryi harms inhibits tau pathology by activating autophagy.

Munronin V (1), isolated from Munronia henryi Harms, is the first example, to the best of our knowledge, of an unprecedented 7/7/6 tricarbocyclic framework featuring an unusual A,B-seco-limonoid ring. The structures of munronin V were established from extensive spectroscopic and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analyses. The novel A,B-seco with two seven-membered lactones was formed as a result of Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. Compound 1 activated autophagy and inhibited Tau pathology as revealed by flow cytometric analyses, confocal imaging analysis and western blotting, and this effect was mediated by transcription factor EB (TFEB). These findings suggested that 1 might have potential as a compound for combating Alzheimer's disease.

Dimeric benzylisoquinoline alkaloids from Thalictrum delavayi and their biological activities.

A phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of T. delavayi led to the isolation of five new dimeric benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, thalidelavines A-E (1-5), together with six known congeners (6-11). The structures and absolute configurations of new compounds were established based on analyses of spectroscopic data, ECD calculations, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Thalidelavines A-E (1-5) were structurally complex bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids with various configurations. These isolated alkaloids were evaluated for their cytotoxic and immunosuppressive effects. Among them, both 9 and 10 displayed significant cytotoxicities against T98G cell lines with an IC50 value of 2.1 µM, compared with the positive CPT-11 (IC50 = 3.0 µM). In addition, 5-7 showed remarkable immunosuppressive effects. These findings not only enrich the structural diversity of bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, but also provide potential candidates for the further development of the antitumor and immunosuppressive agents.

Phloroglucinols with hAChE and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities from the leaves of tropic Rhodomyrtus tomentosa.

Four undescribed phloroglucinol meroterpenoids, rhodotomentodiones A-D, and one undescribed phloroglucinol dimer, rhodotomentodimer A, were obtained and structurally established from tropic Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaves. Their structures were unambiguously elucidated based on the comprehensive analyses of the NMR and MS spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In particular, rhodotomentodiones A and B represent the first examples of phloroglucinol meroterpenoids featuring a unique γ-pyranoid moiety. More importantly, rhodotomentodimer A exhibited the most potential human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects with IC50 values of 7.5 µM and 5.6 µM, respectively. The possible interaction sites of the above potential hAChE and α-glucosidase inhibitor were achieved by molecular docking studies. These findings greatly enrich the diversity of natural products from Myrtaceae species, and provide potential candidates for the further development of anti-Alzheimer and antidiabetic diseases.

Phytochemical and Antibacterial Constituents of Edible Globe Amaranth Flower against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Globe amaranth flower, the edible inflorescence of Gomphrena globose L., was used to treat dysentery and ulcer as well as other infectious diseases caused by microbes in Southwest China, but its function and bioactive components need experimental support. In this study, phytochemical constituents and antibacterial bioactivity of globe amaranth flower against P. aeruginosa were carried out. As a result, two new (1 and 2) and eleven known (3-11) compounds were isolated, in which compounds 4-7 displayed anti P. aeruginosa bioactivity with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) from 0.008 to 0.256 mg/mL. Furthermore, with aid of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a superficial skin infection model in mice, the most potent compound 4 can significantly destroy the structure of bacteria in vitro and restore bacterial infection damage in vivo.

Anti-inflammatory and analgesic monoterpenoid indole alkaloids of Kopsia officinalis.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: "Ya gai", an important part of Dai medical theory, is traditionally recognized as an antidote. Kopsia officinalis Tsiang et P. T. Li is a "Ya gai" related medicine and has been widely used by Dai people for the treatment of pain and inflammation. Previous literature on title species suggested that monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) could be its main bioactive components. However, the specific bioactive ingredients for inflammation-related treatment are still unrevealed, which inspired us to conduct a phytochemical and pharmacological investigation related to its traditional use. AIM OF THE STUDY: To support the traditional use of K. officinalis by assessing the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of its purified MIAs. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Compounds were isolated and purified from the barks and leaves of K. officinalis using diverse chromatographic methods. The structures were established by means of extensive spectroscopic analyses and quantum computational technique. The anti-inflammatory activities of the purified MIAs were evaluated in vitro based on the suppression of lipopolysaccharide-activated inflammatory mediators (COX-2, IL-1ß, and TNF-α) in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities in vivo were assessed with carrageenan-induced paw edema and acetic acid-stimulated writhing in mice models. RESULTS: 23 MIAs including four new compounds were obtained and structurally established. Most of isolates showed significant anti-inflammatory effects in vitro by inhibiting inflammatory mediators (COX-2, IL-1ß, and TNF-α). Further pharmacological evaluation in vivo revealed that 12-hydroxy-19(R)-hydroxy-ibophyllidine (1) and 11,12-methylenedioxykopsinaline N4-oxide (5) remarkably decreased the number of writhing, while kopsinic acid (8), (-)-kopsinilam (12), and normavacurine-21-one (20) significantly relieved paw edema, respectively, even better than the positive control aspirin. CONCLUSIONS: The in vitro and in vivo findings supported the traditional use of K. officinalis with respect to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, as well as provided potent bioactive MIAs for further chemical modification and pharmacological investigation.

Steroidal Alkaloids with a Potent Analgesic Effect Based on N-type Calcium Channel Inhibition.

Two distinctive alkaloids with 6/6/6/5/6/6 fused rings, in which a previously unidentified linkage of C-12/23 generates a rigid skeleton, resulting in a new subtype of steroidal alkaloid, were isolated from Veratrum grandiflorum. Compounds 1 and 2 showed potent analgesic effects in vivo, superior to the well-known analgesic, pethidine (Dolantin), likely by inhibiting CaV2.2 voltage-gated calcium channels.

Acylphloroglucinol trimers from Callistemon salignus seeds: Isolation, configurational assignment, hAChE inhibitory effects, and molecular docking studies.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnoses are greatly increasing in frequency as the global population ages, highlighting an urgent need for new anti-AD strategies. With the aim to search for human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibitors from the species of Myrtaceae family, ten acylphloroglucinol trimers (APTs), including eight new APTs, callistemontrimers A-H (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4b, and 5b), and two naturally occurring ones (4a and 5a), along with one reported triketone-acylphloroglucinol-monoterpene adduct (6), were obtained and structurally characterized from the hAChE inhibitory acetone extract of Callistemon salignus seeds. The structures and their absolute configurations for new APTs were unequivocally established via the detailed interpretation of extensive spectroscopic data (HRESIMS and NMR), ECD calculations, and single crystal X-ray diffraction, whereas the absolute configurations of known APTs were determined by further chiral separation, and calculated ECD calculations. The results of hAChE inhibitory assay revealed that an enantiomeric mixture of 2a/2b, 2a, and 2b are good hAChE inhibitors with IC50 values of 1.22 ±â€¯0.23, 2.28 ±â€¯0.19, and 4.96 ±â€¯0.39 µM, respectively. Molecular docking was used to uncover the modes of interactions for bioactive compounds with the active site of hAChE. In addition, 2 and 6 displayed moderate neurite outgrowth-promoting effects with differentiation rates of 6.16% and 6.19% at a concentration of 1.0 µM, respectively.

Non-volatile acylphloroglucinol components from Eucalyptus robusta inhibit Zika virus by impairing RdRp activity of NS5.

Eucalyptus is a large genus of the Myrtaceae family with high value in various fields of industry. Recently, attention has been focused on the functional properties of Eucalyptus extracts. These extracts have been traditionally used to combat various infectious diseases, and volatile oils are usually considered to play a major role. But the positive effects of non-volatile acylphloroglucinols, a class of specialized metabolites with relatively high content in Eucalyptus, should not be neglected. Herein, non-volatile acylphloroglucinols from leaves of Eucalyptus robusta were evaluated for their abilities to inhibit Zika virus (ZIKV) which is associated with severe neurological damage and complications. The results showed eucalyprobusone G, a new symmetrical acylphloroglucinol dimer, possessed the significant ability to inhibit ZIKV without inducing cytotoxicity. The EC50 values of eucalyprobusone G against the African lineage (MR766) and Asian lineage (SZ-WIV01) of ZIKV were 0.43 ± 0.08 and 10.10 ± 3.84 µM which were 110 times and 5.8 times better than those of the reference compound ribavirin, respectively. Further action mode research showed that eucalyprobusone G impairs the viral binding and RdRp activity of NS5. The results broaden the functional properties of Eucalyptus robusta and indicate acylphloroglucinol dimers could be developed as anti-ZIKV agents.

A natural acylphloroglucinol triggered antiproliferative possessions in HEL cells by impeding STAT3 signaling and attenuating angiogenesis in transgenic zebrafish model.

Leukemia is responsible for a reason of death, globally. Even though there are several treatment regimens available in the clinics against this disease, a perfect chemotherapeutic agent for the same is still under investigation. Natural plant-derived secondary metabolites are used in clinics to treat leukemia for better benefits with reduced side-effects. Likely, several bioactive compounds from Callistemon sp. were reported for their bioactive benefits. Furthermore, acylphloroglucinol derivatives from Callistemon salignus, showed both antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities in various adherent human cancer cell lines. Thus, in the present study, a natural acylphloroglucinol (2,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyisobutyrophenone, L72) was tested for its antiproliferative efficacy in HEL cells. The MTT and the cell cycle analysis study revealed that L72 treatment can offer antiproliferative effects, both time and dose-dependent manner, causing G2/M cell cycle arrest. The western blot analysis revealed that L72 treatment triggered intrinsic apoptotic machinery and activated p21. Likewise, L72 could downregulate the gene expressions of XIAP, FLT3, IDH2, and SOD2, which was demonstrated by qPCR analysis, thus promoting its antiproliferative action. The L72 could impede STAT3 expression, which was evidenced by insilico autodock analysis and western blot analysis using STAT3 inhibitor, Pimozide. The treatment of transgenic (Flk-1+/egfr+) zebrafish embryos resulted in the STAT3 gene inhibition, proving its anti-angiogenic effect, as well. Thus, the study revealed that L72 could act as an antiproliferative agent, by triggering caspase-dependent intrinsic apoptosis, reducing cell proliferation by attenuating STAT3, and activating an anti-angiogenic pathway via Flk-1inhibition.

HRESIMS-guided isolation of aspidosperma-scandine type bisindole alkaloids from Melodinus cochinchinensis and their anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities.

The Melodinus species have been proved to be good resources of bisindole alkaloids. Six bisindole alkaloids were isolated from the leaves and stems of Melodinus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr. guided by HRESIMS data analysis. Among them, melokhanines K-M, epi-scandomelonine, and epi-scandomeline possessed aspidosperma-scandine skeleton linked by a C-C bond while meloyine II had a scandine-scandine skeleton. The structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis of their HRESIMS and NMR data. Melokhanines K-M were undescribed compounds, while epi-scandomelonine, epi-scandomeline and meloyine II were known compounds, which were reported from Melodinus species for the first time. The anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities of the isolates were also evaluated in vitro. Melokhanine K and meloyine II showed potent inhibitory activity on the production of nitric oxide, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages, whereas epi-scandomelonine and epi-scandomeline exhibited certain cytotoxic activity against MOLT-4 cells with IC50 values 5.2 and 1.5 µM, respectively.

Previously undescribed pyridyl-steroidal glycoalkaloids and 23S,26R-hydroxylated spirostanoid saponin from the fruits of Solanum violaceum ortega and their bioactivities.

Three previously undescribed pyridyl-steroidal glycoalkaloids, solanindiosides A‒C, one rare 23S,26R-hydroxylated spirostanoid saponin, and two steroidal alkaloid aglycones, solanindins A and B, derived from the acid hydrolysis of solanindiosides A‒C, were isolated from the fruits of Solanum violaceum, together with five known analogues, including two rare steroidal glycosides, two lignans and a diterpene. Structurally, they comprise a 16ß-methoxy-23-deoxy-22,26-epimino-cholest-type skeleton moiety, and a 16ß-methoxy-3,23-dideoxy-22,26-epimino-cholest-3,5-dien derivative. The hitherto undescribed structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses. Configurations of sugar moieties were resolved by chemical derivations. Solanindiosides A‒C, (22R,23S,25R,26R)-spirost-5-ene-3ß,23,26-triol3-O-ß-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-ß-d-glucopyranoside, solanindins A and B, and (1S,2S)-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[2-methoxy-4-[(2S,3R,4R)-tetrahydro-4-[(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furanyl]phenoxy]-1,3-propanediol were evaluated for their cytotoxic and antibacterial activities. (1S,2S)-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[2-methoxy-4-[(2S,3R,4R)-tetrahydro-4-[(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furanyl]phenoxy]-1,3-propanediol showed the most potent cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 4.386 ± 0.098 µM), while solanindin B displayed some inhibitory effects against Staphylococcus aureus Rosenbach with MIC50 value of 37.32 ± 0.793 µM. In addition, (1S,2S)-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[2-methoxy-4-[(2S,3R,4R)-tetrahydro-4-[(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furanyl]phenoxy]-1,3-propanediol induced dose dependent apoptosis effect in MCF-7 cells.

Diverse isoquinolines with anti-inflammatory and analgesic bioactivities from Hypecoum erectum.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Hypecoum erectum has been used extensively in folk medicine to treat inflammation, fever, and pain. However, few investigations have been carried out on the biological activities related to its traditional use. The chemical constituents of this plant along with their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects have yet to be revealed. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study aimed to support the traditional use of H. erectum by first assessing its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and then investigating its chemical constituents to identify any anti-inflammatory and/or analgesic compounds. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The in vivo anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of the MeOH extract (ME), total alkaloid (AL), and non-alkaloid (Non-AL) fractions of H. erectum at doses of 200, 100, and 50 mg/kg and four major constituents (20, 21, 22, and 27) at doses of 100 and 50 mg/kg delivered via intragastrical administration were evaluated using carrageenan-induced paw edema and acetic acid-stimulated writhing animal models. A phytochemical study of the bioactive (AL) fraction was conducted using various chromatographic techniques, and the structures of the obtained isoquinolines were identified by multiple spectroscopic analyses and quantum chemical computations. Moreover, the anti-inflammatory activities of all the isolates were assessed in vitro based on the suppression of lipopolysaccharide-activated inflammatory mediators (COX-2, IL-1ß, and TNF-α) in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. RESULTS: At the dose of 200 mg/kg, the three fractions (ME, AL, and Non-AL) of H. erectum ameliorated the paw edema by carrageenan-stimulated and reduced the number of writhing by acetic acid-induced in mice compared to the model group, with the AL fraction showing the most potent effects. Subsequent phytochemical investigation of the AL fraction led to the isolation of six new isoquinoline alkaloids (1-6) as well as 23 known analogues (7-29). However, compared to common isoquinolines, compounds 1-4 possess an additional nitrogen atom, while compound 5 has two additional nitrogen atoms. These additional atoms enrich the diversity of natural isoquinoline alkaloids. Further pharmacological evaluation in vivo revealed that the four major constituents (20, 21, 22, and 27) significantly relieved paw edema at 100 mg/kg, while protopine (20) and oxyhydrastinin (27) remarkably decreased the number of writhing at 100 mg/kg. In addition, most of the isolates displayed anti-inflammatory effects, as indicated by the inhibition of inflammatory mediators (COX-2, IL-1ß, and/or TNF-α) in vitro at a treatment concentration of 5 µg/mL. trans-benzindenoazepines (13), protopine (20), and 1,3,6,6-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahyboisoquiolin-8-one (25) showed comparable anti-inflammatory activity to dexamethasone by inhibiting the secretion of IL-1ß. CONCLUSIONS: This investigation validated the traditional use of H. erectum by assessing its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Phytochemical investigation revealed the diversity and novelty of the natural isoquinoline alkaloids in H. erectum. Four major isoquinolines were identified as the bioactive constituents of H. erectum. The findings provide scientific justification to support the traditional application of H. erectum for treating inflammatory and pain disorders.
