A phytochemical study of the aerial parts of Piper mutabile C. DC. revealed seven undescribed compounds [two (2-7')-neolignans and five polyoxygenated cyclohexene glycosides] and six known propenylcatechol derivatives. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by extensive HR-ESI-MS and NMR analyses, as well as comparison with the literature. The absolute configurations of the (2-7')-neolignans were confirmed by GIAO 13C NMR calculations with a sorted training set strategy and TD-DFT calculation ECD spectra. The (2-7')-neolignans and polyoxygenated cyclohexene glycosides are unusual in natural sources. Undescribed neolignans 1 and 2 inhibited NO production in RAW 264.7 cells, with respective IC50 values of 14.4 and 9.5 µM.

Five new flavonoid C-glycosides named desmodinosides A-E (1-5) and one known compound, apigenin 6-C-ß-d-xylopyranosyl-2''-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside (6) have been isolated from the methanol extract of the aerial parts of Desmodium heterocarpon var. stigosum. These compounds were determined by 1D and 2D-NMR and HR-MS spectroscopies. The methanol extract of this plant, in particular, demonstrated hepatoprotection and antifungal inhibition. This extract has a remarkable hepatoprotection and activity-dose response with an EC50 of 43.07 µg/mL. The hepatoprotective effect on human liver hepatoma cells (HepG2) of the isolated flavonoid C-glycosides 1-6 was observed. Desmodinosides A-C (1-3) were found to exhibit moderate hepatoprotective activity on HepG2 cells. Of these, compound 2 showed the best hepatoprotective activity with an EC50 value of 74.12 µg/mL. While compounds 1 and 3 displayed EC50 values of 271.21 and 211.99 µg/mL, respectively. Quercetin, a positive control, also caused an EC50 value of 36.42 µg/mL. In addition to having hepatoprotective effect, the methanol extract had an inhibitory effect on the growth of oomycete; it inhibited Phytophthora infestans with IC50 of 13.3 µg/mL and IC90 of 78.7 µg/mL. The oomycete inhibition was directly attributed to compounds 5 and 6, which significantly inhibited P. infestans with IC50 values of 27.4 and 24.7 µg/mL, respectively. Both 5 and 6 and methanol extract were active against P. infestanse in a dose-dependent manner. Our study demonstrated for the first time the new flavonoid C-glycosides from D. heterocarpon var. stigosum and their novel pharmacological properties. The study findings also suggest the plant extract and its metabolites could be used as a new botanical source of bioactive compounds.

Plants of the Schisandra genus are commonly used in folk medicinal remedies. Some Schisandra species and their lignans have been reported to improve muscle strength. In the present study, four new lignans, named schisacaulins A-D, together with three previously described compounds ananonin B, alismoxide, and pregomisin were isolated from the leaves of S. cauliflora. Their chemical structures were determined by extensive analyses of HR-ESI-MS, NMR, and ECD spectra. Schisacaulin D and alismoxide significantly stimulated skeletal muscle cell proliferation by increasing the number of fused myotubes and expression of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) which may be good candidates for the treatment of sarcopenia.

BACKGROUND: Elevated activity of osteoclasts (OCs) is linked to osteolytic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Developing natural anti-osteoclastogenic compounds with greater efficacy and fewer adverse effects is crucial for preventing or treating osteolytic bone diseases. N-triterpene cycloartane saponins (NTCSs) are rarely found in nature, and their inhibitory effects on OC differentiation in vitro and in vivo have not yet been explored. PURPOSE: This study was aimed to investigate the effect of mussaendoside O, an NTCS isolated from Mussaenda pubescens, on RANKL-induced OC differentiation and its underlying mechanism in vitro, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced bone resorption in a mouse model. METHODS: The content of mussaendoside O in methanol extract of M. pubescens was determined by HPLC. The inhibitory effects of mussaendoside O on RANKL-induced OC formation were assessed using TRAP staining, western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, and real-time qPCR. Meanwhile, the effects of mussaendoside O on LPS-induced inflammatory responses were assessed using a Griess reagent and qPCR. The effects of mussaendoside O on LPS-induced bone resorption in a mouse model were evaluated using micro-CT and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: Mussaendoside O inhibited RANKL-induced TRAP-positive multinucleated OC formation in a concentration-dependent manner without affecting cell viability. However, mussaendoside O did not inhibit LPS-induced mRNA expression of COX-2, iNOS, and TNF-α. Mice orally administrated with mussaendoside O exhibited significant protection from LPS-induced bone resorption and OC formation. At the molecular level, mussaendoside O suppressed RANKL-activated phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and JNK, as well as c-Fos expression. In addition, mussaendoside O suppressed RANKL-induced NFATc1 activation and the expression of its target genes, including OSCAR, DC-STAMP, CtsK, and TRAP. CONCLUSION: Mussaendoside O attenuates OC differentiation in vitro and LPS-induced bone resorption in a mouse model by inhibiting the RANKL-activated c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling pathways. Therefore, mussaendoside O may be a valuable lead compound for preventing or treating of osteolytic bone diseases.

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.
