RESUMO
We studied Phellinus lonicerinus to determine the cytotoxic effect and the dual estrogenic activities of methyl-hispolon and their relation to estrogen signals in vivo and in vitro. The Glide scores of methyl-hispolon-estrogen receptor α (ERα) and methyl-hispolon-ERß docked complexes were -7.29 kcal/mol and -6.68 kcal/mol in docking simulations. Methyl-hispolon had a significant antiproliferative effect for estrogen-sensitive ER(+) MCF-7 cells in the absence of estrogen, and it exhibited dual estrogen activities. Methyl-hispolon increased the serum E2 in rats with premature ovarian failure and fulfilled the estrogenic function in the uterus and ovary. Methyl-hispolon significantly inhibited the expression of Ras, API, ERα, C-myc, and cyclinDl, as well as their gene transcription in RL95-2 cells. The phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was inhibited by methyl-hispolon. Thus, methyl-hispolon has potential use in treating estrogen deficiency-related diseases, with good antitumor effects and estrogenic activity.

With the aim of searching novel P-CABs, seven bisabolangelone oxime derivatives were designed, synthesized, characterized and evaluated the H(+),K(+)-ATPase inhibitory activities guided by computer aided drug design methods. The binding free energy calculations were in good agreement with the experiment results with the correlation coefficient R of -0.9104 between ΔGbind and pIC50 of ligands. Compound 5 exhibited the best inhibitory activity (pIC50=6.36) and most favorable binding free energy (ΔGbind=-47.67 kcal/mol) than other derivatives. The binding sites of these compounds were found to be the hydrophobic substituted groups with the Cys813 residue by the decomposed binding free energy analysis.

Trametenolic acid B (TAB), the bioactive component in the Trametes lactinea (Berk.) Pat, was reported to possess cytotoxic activities and thrombin inhibiting effects. This study was performed to investigate the effects of TAB on H(+)/K(+)-ATPase and gastric cancer. The H(+)/K(+)-ATPase inhibitory activity was determined by gastric parietal cells. Compared to the normal control group, TAB (10, 20, 40 and 80 µg/mL) inhibited the H(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity by 15.97, 16.96, 24.86 and 16.25%, respectively. In the study, 36 Kunming mice were randomly divided into six groups: control, model, TAB-L (TAB, 5 mg/kg/day, i.g.), TAB-M (TAB, 20 mg/kg/day, i.g.), TAB-H (TAB, 40 mg/kg/day, i.g.) and omeprazole (OL, 10 mg/kg/day, i.g.). All mice except the control group were administrated with anhydrous alcohol (5.0 mL/kg, i.g.) for induced gastric-ulcer 1h after the 5th day. At the same time, the control mice were given the same volume of physiological saline. After 4h, TAB was evaluated for H(+)/K(+)-ATPase inhibitory activities of ulcerative gaster, gastric ulcer index and ulcer inhibition. In vitro, the anti-proliferation effect of TAB to gastric cancer cell (HGC-27) in acid environment was detected by MTT, and the apoptosis morphological changes were also observed by Hoechst 33258 dye assay. The results indicated that TAB inhibited moderately H(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity in vitro. Compared to the model group, TAB showed anti-ulcer effects in gastric tissue with the dosages of 20 and 5 mg/kg in vivo. Apart from that, TAB could selectively inhibit gastric cancer cell viability and reduce cell apoptosis against HGC-27 cells at low doses in acid environment.
