ABSTRACT
Cyano tends to have better biological activity, but it is rarely reported in natural products, especially in the C20-diterpene alkaloids. Herein, three unprecedented C20-diterpenoid alkaloids, brunonianines A-C (1-3), possessing rare cyano functional group as well as an atisine backbone constructed from a phenethyl substituent and a tetrahydropyran ring, along with four C19-alkaloids (4-7) and one amide alkaloids (8), were isolated from the whole plant of Delphinium brunonianum Royle. Compounds 1-3 are also the first atisine type diterpenoid alkaloids with cyano group obtained from nature. The structures of the previously undescribed compounds were elucidated by HR-ESI-MS, 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic data and electronic circular dichroism calculations and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Reasonable speculations have also been made regarding the biogenic synthetic pathways of compounds 1-3. In addition, the inhibitory activity of all compounds was also tested against four tumor lines A549, Caco-2, H460 and Skov-3, where compound 2 (IC50 2.20 ± 0.21 µM) showed better inhibitory activity against Skov-3 cells than the hydroxycamptothecin. Using flow cytometry, cell staining, migration and invasion analysis, and Western blot, compound 2 was found to arrest cells in the G2/M phase and was able to effectively inhibit cell motility to achieve potent anti-tumor effects. In addition, compound 2 can effectively induce apoptosis by activating the Bax/Bcl-2/Caspase-3 signaling pathway.
