RESUMO
Lyonia doyonensis is a deciduous shrub native to high-altitude regions of Asia. So far, there is no report on any chemical and biological properties of L. doyonensis. An EtOH extract of L. doyonensis twigs and leaves showed inhibitory activities on protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B and lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells. A phytochemical investigation of this extract led to the isolation of a, so far only ambiguously described, 24-norursane-type triterpenoid, now named lyonensinol A (1: ), along with its two new derivatives, lyonensinols B and C (2: and 3: ), and six known triterpenoids (4â-â9: ). Their structures were elucidated by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data. A combination of chemical conversions, electronic circular dichroism, and Mo2(OAc)4-induced electronic circular dichroism was used to confirm their absolute configurations. Lyonensinols B (2: ) and C (3: ) represent the first examples of norursane-type triterpenoids acylated with a p-coumaroyl moiety. The potential anti-inflammatory and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitory activities of all the isolates were evaluated. Compounds 3, 7: , and 8: at 10 µM showed potent inhibitory activities on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in BV-2 microglial cells, with nitric oxide levels decreasing to 31.5, 41.9, and 27.1%, respectively, while compounds 3, 4, 7: , and 8: exhibited notable inhibitory activities against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, with IC50 values ranging from 1.7 to 18.2 µM. Interestingly, compounds 3: and 8: , bearing a C-3 trans-p-coumaroyl group, showed not only more potent anti-inflammatory effects, but also exhibited stronger protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibition than their respective stereoisomers (2: and 7: ) with a cis-p-coumaroyl group.

Twelve sesquiterpenoids with seven different carbon skeletons, including four isodaucanes (1-4), an aromadendrane (5), a guaiane (6), a cadalane (7), two eudesmanes (8 and 9), two bisabolanes (10 and 11), and a megastigmane (12), were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Aglaia lawii (Wight) C. J. Saldanha et Ramamorthy. Of these compounds, amouanglienoids A (1) and B (2) are new isodaucane sesquiterpenoids. This is the first report of isodaucanes from the genus Aglaia, and amouanglienoid A (1) represents the first isodaucane containing a Δ7(8) double bond. Their structures were discerned from extensive spectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and comparison of the experimental and calculated ECD data. In in vitro bioassays, compounds 1, 10, and 11 showed potent inhibitory effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells, while compound 11 exhibited considerable inhibition of PTP1B with an IC50 value of 16.05 ± 1.09 µM.

A phytochemical investigation on the MeOH extract of the red alga Laurencia composita Yamada led to the discovery of six new highly halogenated sesquiterpenoids, including two bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids (1 and 2), one nerolidol derivative (7), and three chamigrane-type sesquiterpenoids (9, 10, and 18), together with 13 known sesquiterpenoids. Their structures, including relative configuration, were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, and by comparison with data for related known compounds. The absolute configuration at C-10 of laurecomposin A (1) was determined by the modified Mosher's method. Halonerolidol (7) is the first naturally occurring halogenated nerolidol derivative, while compositacin L (9) represents the third example of chamigranes having a C-10 carbonyl group. Antifungal, antibacterial, and receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitory activities of these isolates were evaluated. The results showed that compounds 1-3 and 5 exhibited significant antifungal activity against Microsporum gypseum (Cmccfmza) with MIC values of 4, 8, 8, and 4 µg/mL, respectively. Additionally, compounds 1-3 and 5 also displayed promising antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus Newman strain with MIC values ranging from 10.9 to 26.8 µg/mL.

Three new cholestane-type sterols bearing an unusual ∆22-24-oxo side chain, namely, dictyoptesterols A-C (1-3), were isolated from the brown alga Dictyopteris undulata Holmes, together with five known strutural analogues (4-8). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations of the steroidal nuclei of the new compounds were proposed by a comparison of NMR data with those of related known compounds as well as biogenetic considerations. All of the isolates were evaluated in vitro for their potential to inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) activity. The results showed that compounds 1-5 exhibited different levels of PTP1B inhibitory activities with IC50 values ranging from 3.03⯱â¯0.76 to 15.01⯱â¯2.88⯵M. In particular, compounds 3 and 4 showed promising inhibitory effects towards PTP1B with IC50 values of 3.03⯱â¯0.76 and 3.72⯱â¯0.40⯵M, respectively, when compared to the positive control oleanolic acid (IC50, 2.83⯱â¯0.39⯵M). The chemotaxonomic significance of these isolated ∆22-24-oxo cholestanes has also been discussed.

Three diterpenoids, including a pair of epimers, racemobutenolids A and B (1 and 2), and 4',5'-dehydrodiodictyonema A (3), an α-tocopheroid, α-tocoxylenoxy (8), and an 28-oxostigmastane steroid, (23E)-3ß-hydroxy-stigmasta-5,23-dien-28-one (11), together with 12 known compounds, were isolated from the green alga Caulerpa racemosa. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data, and by comparison with data for related known compounds. The epimers (1 and 2) are two unusual diterpenoid lactones bearing a ß-methyl-γ-substituted butenolide moiety, and 3 and 8 represent the first naturally occurring natural products with a hematinic acid ester group and 3,5-dimethylphenoxy functionality, respectively. The enzyme inhibitory activities of the isolated compounds were evaluated in vitro against PTP1B and related PTPs (TCPTP, CDC25B, LAR, SHP-1, and SHP-2). Compounds 3, 5, 6, and 9-14 exhibited different levels of PTP1B inhibitory activities with IC50 values ranging from 2.30 to 50.02µM. Of these compounds, 3, 9, and 11 showed the most potent inhibitory activities towards PTP1B with IC50 values of 2.30, 3.85, and 3.80µM, respectively. More importantly, the potent PTP1B inhibitors 3, 9, and 11 also displayed high selectivity over the highly homologous TCPTP and other PTPs. Also, the neuroprotective effects of the isolates against Aß25-35-induced cell damage in SH-SY5Y cells were investigated. Compounds 10, 11, and 14 exhibited significant neuroprotective effects against Aß25-35-induced SH-SY5Y cell damage with 11.31-15.98% increases in cell viability at 10µM. In addition, the cytotoxic activities of the isolated compounds were tested against the human cancer cell lines A-549 and HL-60.
