RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Stellaria alsine has traditionally been used as both a famine relief food and an alternative medicine in East Asia. Modern pharmacological studies have revealed that S. alsine has various biological effects such as anticancer, anti-hepatoma, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative effects. However, the anti-inflammatory properties of chemical constituents derived from this plant have not been studied well. OBJECTIVES: To identify potential therapeutic candidate for treating inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS: The distribution of chemical compounds was investigated by Global Natural Product Social (GNPS)-based molecular networking (MN) analysis using UPLC-Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of S. alsine extracts and fractions were evaluated by measuring interleukin (IL)-8 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) productions. RESULTS: The active EA layer of S. alsine showed the highest percentage of major compounds by feature-based molecular networking. The top candidate structures of EA fraction were rapidly annotated as flavone C- or O-glycosides via an advanced analysis tool, Network Annotation Propagation (NAP). With the GNPS molecular networking-guided isolation strategy, a new C-glycosyl flavone rotamer (1) was isolated. The structures of the major (1a) and minor (1b) rotational isomers were determined by extensive NMR analysis and MS/MS fragmentation. Finally, the anti-inflammatory activity of 1 was predicted by molecular docking simulations with IL-8 protein. CONCLUSION: These results suggested that the compound 1 is a potential therapeutic candidate for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Seven new peptaibols named tolypocladamides A-G have been isolated from an extract of the fungus Tolypocladium inflatum, which inhibits the interaction between Raf and oncogenic Ras in a cell-based high-throughput screening assay. Each peptaibol contains 11 amino acid residues, an octanoyl or decanoyl fatty acid chain at the N-terminus, and a leucinol moiety at the C-terminus. The peptaibol sequences were elucidated on the basis of 2D NMR and mass spectral fragmentation analyses. Amino acid configurations were determined by advanced Marfey's analyses. Tolypocladamides A-G caused significant inhibition of Ras/Raf interactions with IC50 values ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 µM in a nanobioluminescence resonance energy transfer (NanoBRET) assay; however, no interactions were observed in a surface plasmon resonance assay for binding of the compounds to wild type or G12D mutant Ras constructs or to the Ras binding domain of Raf. NCI 60 cell line testing was also conducted, and little panel selectivity was observed.

Two new cyclic depsipeptides named swinhopeptolides A (1) and B (2) have been isolated from the marine sponge Theonella swinhoei cf. verrucosa, collected from Papua New Guinea. They each contain 11 diverse amino acid residues and 13-carbon polyketide moieties attached at the N-terminus. Compounds 1 and 2 each exist as two conformers in DMSO-d6 due to cis/trans isomerism of the proline residue, and their structures were successfully assigned by extensive NMR analyses complemented by chemical degradation and derivatization studies. Swinhopeptolide B (2) contains a previously undescribed 2,6,8-trimethyldeca-(2E,4E,6E)-trienoic acid moiety N-linked to a terminal serine residue. Swinhopeptolides A (1) and B (2) showed significant inhibition of the Ras/Raf signaling pathway with IC50 values of 5.8 and 8.5 µM, respectively.

Seven new arylpyrrole alkaloids (1-7), along with four known compounds, were isolated from an extract of a Dactylia sp. nov. marine sponge, and their structures were elucidated by interpretation of NMR and MS spectroscopic data. Denigrins D-G (1-4) have highly substituted pyrrole or pyrrolone rings in their core structures, while dactylpyrroles A-C (5-7) have tricyclic phenanthrene cores. Due to the proton-deficient nature of these scaffolds, key heteronuclear correlations from 1H-15N HMBC and LR-HSQMBC NMR experiments were used in the structure assignment of denigrin D (1). Dictyodendrin F (8), a previously described co-metabolite, inhibited transcription driven by the oncogenic PAX3-FOXO1 fusion gene with an IC50 value of 13 µM.

Twelve new sesterterpenes along with eight known sesterterpenes were isolated from the marine sponge Hyrtios erectus collected off the coast of Chuuk Island, the Federated State of Micronesia. Based upon a combination of spectroscopic and computational analyses, these compounds were determined to be eight glycine-bearing scalaranes (1-8), a 3-keto scalarane (9), two oxidized-furan-bearing scalaranes (10 and 11), and a salmahyrtisane (12). Several of these compounds exhibited weak antiproliferation against diverse cancer cell lines as well as moderate anti-angiogenesis activities. The antiproliferative activity of new compound 4 was found to be associated with G0/G1 arrest in the cell cycle.

Three new aryl alkaloids named suberitamides A-C (1-3), were isolated from an extract of the marine sponge Pseudosuberites sp. collected along the coast of North Carolina. Their planar structures were established by extensive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. To assign the challenging relative configuration of the saturated five-membered ring in suberitamide A (1), a simple and efficient NMR protocol was applied that is based on the analysis of 2- and 3-bond 1H-13C spin-spin coupling constants using a PIP (pure in-phase) HSQMBC (heteronuclear single quantum multiple bond correlation) IPAP (in-phase and anti-phase) experiment. Suberitamides A (1) and B (2) inhibited Cbl-b, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is an important modulator of immune cell function, with IC50 values of approximately 11 µM.

Three new terpene metabolites (1-3) were isolated from the marine sponge Clathria gombawuiensis collected from Korean waters. On the basis of the results of combined spectroscopic analyses, the structures of phorone B (1) and ansellone C (2) were determined to be the sesterterpenes of the phorone and ansellone classes, respectively, whereas the saponin gombaside A (3) was a nortriterpene sodium O-sulfonato-glucuronide of the rare 4,4,14-trimethylpregnane class. The absolute configuration of the glucuronate of 3 was assigned by an application of the phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME) method. The new compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against A549 and K562 cell lines, and compound 3 showed antibacterial activity. The cytotoxicity of 1 may be related to the presence of a free phenolic -OH group, as the corresponding O-methoxy derivative 4 is inactive.

Prunus mume (Maesil) is used in health foods and alternative medicine in Korea. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of phenolics from P. mume seed extracts were examined. First, the biological activities of various P. mume extracts were evaluated, and the profiles of their chemical compounds were investigated by Global Natural Products Social (GNPS)-molecular networking. Among these extracts, fermented Maesil seed extract (FMSE) showed potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, and demonstrated the presence of phenolic clusters in GNPS-based studies. Thus, the chemical constituents of this extract were further investigated. Subsequently, the chemical composition of the active CH2Cl2 fraction of FMSE was explored using an advanced GNPS analysis tool, MolNetEnhancer. In addition, the molecular structure of compound 1 from the CH2Cl2 fraction was similarly predicted with Network Annotation Propagation (NAP). Finally, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of compound 1 were confirmed by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide production and DPPH assay. Western blot analysis revealed that compound 1 downregulated the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) proteins. The molecular docking simulation additionally confirmed significant interactions of 1 with iNOS and COX-2 proteins. Our findings suggested that an integrated GNPS-based approach could prioritize samples in the early fractionation process and improve the accuracy of target compound prediction.
RESUMO
Three undescribed iridoid glucosides and nine known compounds were isolated from Vitex rotundifolia L. f. Their structural elucidation was performed based on their spectroscopic data or acid hydrolysis followed by HPLC analysis and comparison of their NMR data with those reported in the literature. These iridoids were then evaluated for inflammatory effects through inhibition on NO production level in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. The active compounds, rotundifoliin C, isonishindacin A, agnuside, and eurostoside, were further investigated for their anti-inflammatory mechanisms of action on expression levels of iNOS and COX-2 proteins. In addition, V. rotundifolia fractions also significantly inhibited LPS-induced IL-8 production, with IC50 values ranging from 9.81 to 54.31 µg/mL. Rotundifoliin A, agnuside, VR-I (10-O-vanilloyl aucubin), and eurostoside showed inhibition rates of 55.5%, 94.6%, 55.6%, and 81.9% on IL-8 production at concentrations of 100 µM, respectively, compared to those of control without sample addition. The therapeutic properties of the plant might give rise to develop the functional products to treat inflammatory diseases.

Ilex rotunda Thunb. has been used in traditional medicine for treating rheumatoid arthritis, relieving pain and indigestion. In the present study, we isolated three new caffeic acid benzyl ester (CABE) analogs (1-3) along with eight known compounds (4-11) from the extract of I. rotunda. The absolute configuration of α-hydoxycarboxylic acid in 1 was assigned with the phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME) method. We further investigated their anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages (RAW 264.7) cells. Among them, compounds 2-4, 7, 8, 10, and 11 suppressed the production of nitric oxide (NO), pro-inflammatory mediators. It was additionally confirmed that the anti-inflammatory effect of active compound 2 was through significant suppression of cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1ß, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-8 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and colon epithelial (HT-29) cells. Western blot analysis revealed that compound 2 decreased the LPS-induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX-2), and phosphorylated extracellular regulated kinase (pERK)1/2. The following molecular docking simulations showed the significant interactions of compound 2 with the iNOS protein. These results suggested that the compound 2 can be used as potential candidate for treating inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Loliolide (LL), a naturally occurring monoterpenoid lactone isolated from Vicia tenuifolia Roth, can exhibit numerous pharmacological effects such as those related to anti-Parkinson, anti-oxidant, anti-cholinesterase, and anti-depressant. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a pivotal role in regulating tumor metastasis. CXCR4 and CXCR7 are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPRs), which can be stimulated by CXCL12. CXCL12/CXCR4/CXCXR7 axis can cause activation of multiple pathways including MAPKs, JAK/STAT pathway, and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) signaling. These events can initiate EMT process and induce cell invasion and migration. Here, we investigated whether LL can modulate the CXCR4 and CXCR7 and EMT process in colon cancer and breast cancer cells. We found that LL suppressed levels of CXCR4 and CXCR7, and exerted an inhibitory effect on these chemokines even after stimulation by CXCL12. LL suppressed expression of MnSOD and mesenchymal markers, whereas induced epithelial markers. In addition, LL significantly attenuated cellular invasion, migration, and metastasis. We noted that LL inhibited CXCR4/7 and EMT process even after stimulation of CXCL12 and MnSOD overexpression. Therefore, in this study, we provide evidences that targeting CXCR4/7 and MnSOD could inhibit the invasion, migration, and metastasis of cancer cells as well as negatively regulate the EMT process. Overall, our study suggested that LL might act as a potent suppressor of EMT process against colon and breast cancer cells.

An extraction method using 80% EtOH was selected and applied to obtain the total extracts from leaves, flowers, fruits, twigs, and roots of Vitex rotundifolia L.f. based on the antioxidant activity-guided experiments. Subsequently, total extract from each part of V. rotundifolia was successfully partitioned into fractions, which were evaluated for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties via DPPH, ABTS, and NO assays, respectively. Among them, EtOAc (E) and n-butanol (B) fractions showed the potent antioxidant activity and the methylene chloride (MC) fractions of roots, leaves, and fruits that exhibited strong scavenging activity on DPPH and ABTS radicals. In the anti-inflammatory assay, n-hexane (H) and MC fractions of leaves potently inhibited NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, followed by E fractions derived from fruits, flowers, twigs, and roots, along with B fractions from flowers and twigs. Additionally, a comprehensive HPLC-decoupled MS profiling was established and validated using seven isolated marker compounds (1-7), which were identified by analysis of their UV, NMR, and MS data. The established method was also applied for quantification of these marker compounds in each organ collected from different locations, and to assess their antioxidant capacity by a screening DPPH-HPLC method. Principal component analysis suggested the botanical organs from this plant correlated with the marker compound contents in association with bioactivity. The study results are a prelude to further studies involving the active fractions and provide a comprehensive insight into the functional products of this plant against oxidative diseases.
