RESUMEN
Mellpaladines A-C (1-3) and dopargimine (4) are dopamine-derived guanidine alkaloids isolated from a specimen of Palauan Didemnidae tunicate as possible modulators of neuronal receptors. In this study, we isolated the dopargimine derivative 1-carboxydopargimine (5), three additional mellpaladines D-F (6-8), and serotodopalgimine (9), along with a dimer of serotonin, 5,5'-dihydroxy-4,4'-bistryptamine (10). The structures of these compounds were determined based on spectrometric and spectroscopic analyses. Compound 4 and its congeners dopargine (11), nordopargimine (15), and 2-(6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)ethan-1-amine (16) were synthetically prepared for biological evaluations. The biological activities of all isolated compounds were evaluated in comparison with those of 1-4 using a mouse behavioral assay upon intracerebroventricular injection, revealing key functional groups in the dopargimines and mellpaladines for in vivo behavioral toxicity. Interestingly, these alkaloids also emerged during a screen of our marine natural product library aimed at identifying antiviral activities against dengue virus, SARS-CoV-2, and vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus (VSV) pseudotyped with Ebola virus glycoprotein (VSV-ZGP).

The chemical diversity of annelids, particularly those belonging to the class Sipuncula, remains largely unexplored. However, as part of a Marine Biodiscovery program in Ireland, the peanut worm Phascolosoma granulatum emerged as a promising source of unique metabolites. The purification of the MeOH/CH2Cl2 extract of this species led to the isolation of six new linear guanidine amides, named phascolosomines A-F (1-6). NMR analysis allowed for the elucidation of their structures, all of which feature a terminal guanidine, central amide linkage, and a terminal isobutyl group. Notably, these guanidine amides were present in unusually high concentrations, comprising â¼3% of the dry mass of the organism. The primary concentration of the phascolosomines in the viscera is similar to that previously identified in linear amides from sipunculid worms and marine fireworms. The compounds from sipunculid worms have been hypothesized to be toxins, while those from fireworms are reported to be defensive irritants. However, screening of the newly isolated compounds for inhibitory bioactivity showed no significant inhibition in any of the assays conducted.

Five undescribed guanidine alkaloids, plumbagines HK (1-4) and plumbagoside E (5), as well as five known analogues (6-10) were isolated from the roots of Plumbago zeylanica. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses and chemical methods. In addition, 1-10 were accessed their anti-inflammatory activities by measuring nitric oxide (NO) concentrations in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. However, all compounds especially 1 and 3-5 could not inhibit the secretion of NO but significant increase the secretion of NO. The result reminded us that 1-10 may become potential novel immune potentiators.

Liver cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), are a highly prevalent cause of cancer-related deaths. Current treatments to combat liver cancer are limited. (-)-Agelasidine A, a compound isolated from the methanol extract of Agelasnakamurai, a sesquiterpene guanidine derived from sea sponge, has antibacterial activity. We demonstrated its anticancer capabilities by researching the associated mechanism of (-)-agelasidine A in human liver cancer cells. We found that (-)-agelasidine A significantly reduced viability in Hep3B and HepG2 cells, and we determined that apoptosis was involved in the (-)-agelasidine A-induced Hep3B cell deaths. (-)-Agelasidine A activated caspases 9, 8, and 3, as well as PARP. This effect was reversed by caspase inhibitors, suggesting caspase-mediated apoptosis in the (-)-agelasidine A-treated Hep3B cells. Moreover, the reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and the release of cytochrome c indicated that the (-)-agelasidine A-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis was mechanistic. (-)-Agelasidine A also increased apoptosis-associated proteins (DR4, DR5, FAS), which are related to extrinsic pathways. These events were accompanied by an increase in Bim and Bax, proteins that promote apoptosis, and a decrease in the antiapoptotic protein, Bcl-2. Furthermore, our results presented that (-)-agelasidine A treatment bridged the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways. Western blot analysis of Hep3B cells treated with (-)-agelasidine A showed that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related proteins (GRP78, phosphorylated PERK, phosphorylated eIF2α, ATF4, truncated ATF6, and CHOP) were upregulated. Moreover, 4-PBA, an ER stress inhibitor, could also abrogate (-)-agelasidine A-induced cell viability reduction, annexin V+ apoptosis, death receptor (DR4, DR5, FAS) expression, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cytochrome c release. In conclusion, by activating ER stress, (-)-agelasidine A induced the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways of human HCC.

Two rare guanidine-type alkaloids, Buthutin A (1) and Buthutin B (2), along with two other compounds (3, 4), were isolated from Buthus martensii Karsch, and determined using extensive spectroscopic data analysis and high resolution-mass spectrometry. Compound 1 showed the most potent inhibition on AChE and BChE with IC50 values of 7.83 ± 0.06 and 47.44 ± 0.95 µM, respectively. Kinetic characterization of compound 1 confirmed a mixed-type of AChE inhibition mechanism in accordance with the docking results, which shows its interaction with both catalytic active (CAS) and peripheral anionic (PAS) sites. The specific binding of compound 1 to PAS domain of AChE was also confirmed experimentally. Moreover, compounds 1 and 3 exhibited satisfactory biometal binding abilities toward Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+ and Al3+ ions. These results provide a new evidence for further development and utilization of B. martensii in health and pharmaceutical products.

Cernumidine (CER) is a guanidinic alkaloid isolated from Solanum cernuum leaves. In this work, we investigated the cytotoxicity, chemosensitizing effect of cernumidine to cisplatin (cDDP) and the possible mechanism of action of the combination on bladder cancer cells. Cernumidine showed cytotoxicity and could sensitize bladder cancer cells to cisplatin. The combination of CER+cDDP inhibited cell migration on T24 cells. CER+cDDP down-regulated MMP-2/9 and p-ERK1/2, while it increased EGFR activity corroborating the observed cell migration inhibition. Down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation pro-apoptotic Bax and further depletion of the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) indicates that mitochondria play a central role in the combination treatment inducing the mitochondrial signaling pathway of apoptosis in T24 cells. Our data showed that the alkaloid cernumidine is worthy of further studies as a chemosensitizing agent to be used in complementary chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. However, as daily consumables, coffee beans may contain pesticide residues that are capable of causing adverse health effects. Thus, we investigated residue dynamics in coffee beans using supervised field trials under Good Agricultural Practice conditions and determined the effects of household coffee processing on the coffee-bean pesticide residues dinotefuran and its metabolites 1-methyl-3-(tetrahydro-3-furylmethyl) urea (UF) and 1-methyl-3-(tetrahydro-3-furylmethyl) guanidine (DN). RESULTS: The recovery rate of dinotefuran and its metabolites UF and DN was in the range 73.5%-106.3%, with a relative SD < 10%. The limits of detection and limits of quantification for dinotefuran, UF and DN were all 0.003 and 0.01 mg kg-1 , respectively. Dissipation experiments were conducted over 2015 and 2016 and showed a mean half-life of 40.8 days. Coffee processing procedures were performed as described for traditional household coffee processing in Ethiopia. Dinotefuran contents were reduced by 44.4%-86.7% with washing of coffee beans and the roasting process reduced these contents by 62.2%-100%. DN residues were not detected in roasted coffee beans before day 21 or in brewed coffee before day 35 and UF residues were not detected in brewed coffee before day 35. Kruskal-Wallis analyses indicated large variations in the stability of pesticide residues between processing methods (P ≤ 0.05). Reductions of pesticide concentrations with washing were also significantly lower than those following roasting (P = 0.0001) and brewing processes (P = 0.002). Moreover, processing factors were less than one for all processing stages, indicating reductions of pesticides contents for all processing stages. CONCLUSION: The cumulative effects of the three processing methods are of paramount importance with respect to an evaluation of the risks associated with the ingestion of pesticide residues, particularly those in coffee beans. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Pyrroloquinoline and guanidine-derived alkaloids present distinct groups of marine secondary metabolites with structural diversity that displayed potentialities in biological research. A considerable number of these molecular architectures had been recorded from marine sponges belonging to different marine genera, including Batzella, Crambe, Monanchora, Clathria, Ptilocaulis and New Caledonian starfishes Fromia monilis and Celerina heffernani. In this review, we aim to comprehensively cover the chemodiversity and the bioactivities landmarks centered around the chemical constituents exclusively isolated from these three marine genera including Batzella, Crambe and Monanchora over the period 1981-2017, paying a special attention to the polycyclic guanidinic compounds and their proposed biomimetic landmarks. It is concluded that these marine sponge genera represent a rich source of novel compounds with potential applications for cancer and other therapeutic areas.

A new secoiridoid-derived guanidine alkaloid, argininosecologanin (1), along with 12 known iridoids and secoiridoids (2-13), was isolated from the roots of Lonicera insularis. The structures of the isolated compounds were established by the spectroscopic analysis and comparison of their spectral data with previously reported data. Compound 1 was assigned as the first secoiridoid-derived guanidine alkaloid isolated as a natural product. A plausible biogenetic pathway for 1 is suggested based on its structural similarity to (E)-aldosecologanin (4).

A simple HPLC-MS/MS method has been developed for the determination of peramivir in rat plasma in the present study. The analytes were separated on a C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm) and a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source was applied for the detection. A phospholipid-free cartridge solid-phase extraction was used to pretreat the plasma and eliminate the endogenous phospholipid. The in-source collision-induced dissociation approach showed that this pretreatment could result in negligible ion suppression from the extracted sample and could produce cleaner samples when compared with the protein precipitation. The method was linear over the concentration range of 0.12-1200.0 ng/mL for peramivir. The method was validated and successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study after peramivir was orally and intravenously administered to Sprague-Dawley rats.

The Department of Defense (DoD) is developing a new category of insensitive munitions (IMs) that are more resistant to detonation or promulgation from external stimuli than traditional munition formulations. The new explosive constituent compounds are 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), nitroguanidine (NQ), and nitrotriazolone (NTO). The production and use of IM formulations may result in interaction of IM component compounds with soil. The chemical properties of these IM compounds present unique challenges for extraction from environmental matrices such as soil. A two-stage extraction procedure was developed and tested using several soil types amended with known concentrations of IM compounds. This procedure incorporates both an acidified phase and an organic phase to account for the chemical properties of the IM compounds. The method detection limits (MDLs) for all IM compounds in all soil types were <5 mg/kg and met non-regulatory risk-based Regional Screening Level (RSL) criteria for soil proposed by the U.S. Army Public Health Center. At defined environmentally relevant concentrations, the average recovery of each IM compound in each soil type was consistent and greater than 85%. The two-stage extraction method decreased the influence of soil composition on IM compound recovery. UV analysis of NTO established an isosbestic point based on varied pH at a detection wavelength of 341 nm. The two-stage soil extraction method is equally effective for traditional munition compounds, a potentially important point when examining soils exposed to both traditional and insensitive munitions.

Four bicyclic and three pentacyclic guanidine alkaloids (1-7) were isolated from a French Polynesian Monanchora n. sp. sponge, along with the known alkaloids monalidine A (8), enantiomers 9-11 of known natural product crambescins, and the known crambescidins 12-15. Structures were assigned by spectroscopic data interpretation. The relative and absolute configurations of the alkaloids were established by analysis of (1)H NMR and NOESY spectra and by circular dichroism analysis. The new norcrambescidic acid (7) corresponds to interesting biosynthetic variation within the pentacyclic core. All compounds exhibited antiproliferative and cytotoxic efficacy against KB, HCT116, HL60, MRC5, and B16F10 cancer cells, with IC50 values ranging from 4 nM to 10 µM.

Four new haliclonadiamine analogues, (10Z,12E)-haliclonadiamine (1), (10E,12Z)-haliclonadiamine (2), and halichondriamines A (3) and B (4), were isolated from the Okinawan marine sponge Halichondria panicea together with haliclonadiamine (5) and papuamine (6). The structures of 1-4 were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data by comparisons with those for 5 and 6. Further separation of the remaining fraction led to the isolation of a new bicyclic guanidine alkaloid, 6-epi-monanchorin (7), along with monanchorin (8). Compound 7 is the epimer of 8 at the 6 position. Compounds 1-6 inhibited the growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis with inhibition zones of 12, 7, 8, 7, 16, and 12 mm at 10 µg/disc, respectively. Compounds 2-4 exhibited weak cytotoxicities against the Huh-7 (hepatoma) human cancer cell line and were 2-fold less active than 5 and 6. Compounds 7 and 8 were not active against M. smegmatis at 20 µg/disc or the cancer cell line at 10 µM.

In our continuing program to isolate new compounds from the Madagascar sponge Biemna laboutei, five new tricyclic guanidine alkaloids, netamines O - S (1-5, resp.), have been identified together with the known compounds netamine E (6) and mirabilin J (7). The structures of all new netamines were assigned on the basis of spectroscopic analyses. Their relative configurations were established by analysis of ROESY data and comparison with literature data. Netamines O, P, and Q, which were isolated in sufficient quantities, were tested for their cytotoxic activities against KB cells and their activities against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Netamines O and Q were found to be moderately cytotoxic. Netamines O, P, and Q exhibited antiplasmodial activities with IC50 values of 16.99 ± 4.12, 32.62 ± 3.44, and 8.37 ± 1.35â µM, respectively.

Two new alkaloids, plantadeprate A (1) and 1'-(4â³-hydroxybutyl)plantagoguanidinic acid (2), along with three known compounds, were isolated from the seeds of Plantago depressa. Their structures were elucidated by physical data analyses including NMR, MS, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) methods. Plantadeprate A (1), a monoterpene zwitterionic guanidium, possesses a unique 5/5/6-tricyclic ring system. Its absolute configuration was determined by X-ray crystallography and computational methods. Compound 1, plumbagine D (3), and plantagoguanidinic acid (4) exhibited potential antihyperglycemic properties attributed to suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis with inhibitory rates of 8.2%, 18.5%, and 12.5% at 40 µM, respectively.
