Phytochemical study on the methanol extract of Aglaia odorata leaves resulted in the isolation of four previously undescribed compounds, including three 2,9-deoxyflavonoids and one flavonol-diamide [3 + 2] adduct, and 13 known compounds. The chemical structures of the four undescribed compounds were elucidated on the basis of their IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR, and ECD spectra. The results revealed an unprecedented 2,9-deoxyflavonoid framework, which was confirmed by TD-DFT, ECD, and GIAO 13C-NMR calculations using sorted training set methods. The 17 compounds were examined for their ability to inhibit NO production activity in cultured lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW264.7 cells with aglaodoratas A-C, odorine, and epi-odorine inhibiting NO production, with IC50 values in the range of 16.2-24.3 µM. The other investigated compounds had either weak or no activity.

Mallotusapelta(Lour.) Müll.Arg has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of chronic hepatitis. Six new chromene derivatives, malloapeltas C-H (1-6) and one known compound, malloapelta B (7) were isolated and structured from the leaves of M.apelta. Two pairs of enantiomers (1a/1b and 2a/2b) were successfully separated by chiral high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The structures and absolute configurations of compounds were determined using spectroscopic methods, including 1D, 2D NMR, and MS and quantum chemical calculation methods. All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activity using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay against ovariancancer cell line (TOV-21G). Compounds 1-5 and 7 exhibited significant growth and viability inhibitory effects with GI50 values ranging from 0.06 to 10.39 µM and IC50 values ranging from 1.62 to 10.42 µM on ovarian cancer cell line, TOV-21G. The most cytotoxic compounds 2, 3, and 7 were chosen for studying in apoptosis mechanism. Compounds 2, 3, and 7-induced apoptosis as evidenced by activated caspase 8, caspase 9, and PARP, increased Bak and Bax, and decreased Bcl-xL and survivin. Moreover, compounds 2, 3, and 7 significantly inhibited the NF-κB signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings propose the potential application of compounds 2, 3, and 7 for treating cancer via modulating NF-κB activity.

Anoctamin1 (ANO1), a calcium-activated chloride channel, is frequently overexpressed in several cancers, including human prostate cancer and oral squamous cell carcinomas. ANO1 plays a critical role in tumor growth and maintenance of these cancers. In this study, we have isolated two new compounds (1 and 2) and four known compounds (3-6) from Mallotus apelta. These compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on ANO1 channel activity and their cytotoxic effects on PC-3 prostate cancer cells. Interestingly, compounds 1 and 2 significantly reduced both ANO1 channel activity and cell viability. Electrophysiological study revealed that compound 2 (Ani-D2) is a potent and selective ANO1 inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 2.64 µM. Ani-D2 had minimal effect on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel activity and intracellular calcium signaling. Notably, Ani-D2 significantly reduced ANO1 protein expression levels and cell viability in an ANO1-dependent manner in PC-3 and oral squamous cell carcinoma CAL-27 cells. In addition, Ani-D2 strongly reduced cell migration and induced activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP in PC-3 and CAL-27 cells. This study revealed that a novel ANO1 inhibitor, Ani-D2, has therapeutic potential for the treatment of several cancers that overexpress ANO1, such as prostate cancer and oral squamous cell carcinoma.

CONTEXT: Paramignya trimera (Oliv.) Burkill (Rutaceae) has been used to treat liver diseases and cancer. However, the anti-inflammatory effects of this medicinal plant and its components have not been elucidated. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated chemical constituents of the P. trimera stems and evaluated anti-inflammatory effects of isolated compounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cytotoxicity of isolated compounds (5-40 µM) toward BV2 cells was tested using 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) for 24 h. Inhibitory effects of isolated compounds (5-40 µM) on nitrite and PGE2 concentrations were determined using Griess reaction and PGE2 ELISA kit, respectively (pretreated with the compounds for 3 h and then stimulated for 18 h with LPS). Inhibitory effects of compounds (5-40 µM) on iNOS and COX-2 protein expression were evaluated by Western blot analysis (pretreated with the compounds for 3 h and then stimulated for 24 h with LPS). RESULTS: Seven coumarins were isolated and identified as: ostruthin (1), ninhvanin (2), 8-geranyl-7-hydroxycoumarin (3), 6-(6',7'-dihydroxy-3',7'-dimethylocta-2'-enyl)-7-hydroxycoumarin (4), 6-(7-hydroperoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,5-dienyl)-7-hydroxycoumarin (5), 6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran (6), and luvangetin (7). Compounds 1-4 and 7 inhibited NO and PGE2 production in LPS-stimulated BV2 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 9.8 to 46.8 and from 9.4 to 52.8 µM, respectively. Ostruthin (1) and ninhvanin (2) were shown to suppress LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 protein expression. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The present study provides a scientific rationale for the use of P. trimera in the prevention and treatment of neuroinflammatory diseases. Ostruthin and ninhvanin might have potential therapeutic effects and should be considered for further development as new anti-neuroinflammatory agents.

Datura metel L. (Solanaceae) is an annual herb that has been widely used in the traditional medicine for the treatment of coughs, bronchial asthma, and rheumatism. Chemical investigation of an acidic methanol extract of the whole plants of D. metel resulted in the isolation of five new steroidal saponins (1-3, 5, and 6), named metelosides A-E, and four known compounds (4, 7-9). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR and MS spectra. The structures of metelosides A and B were found to be unusual among the reported spirostane-type steroidal saponins due to the presence of the acetamide groups in the molecules. Compounds 2, 4, 5, and 6 were shown to be cytotoxic against three cancer cell lines, including HepG2, MCF-7, and SK-Mel-2 cells. Furthermore, compounds 3, 4, and 7 exhibited modest anti-inflammatory effects through inhibition of NO production in LPS-stimulated BV cells.
