Abstract
Plant-derived medicinal compounds are increasingly being used to treat acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, which are generally caused by aberrant inflammatory responses. Stephania pierrei Diels, also known as Sabu-lueat in Thai, is a traditional medicinal plant that is used as a remedy for several inflammatory disorders. Since aporphine alkaloids isolated from S. pierrei tubers exhibit diverse pharmacological characteristics, we aimed to determine the anti-inflammatory effects of crude extracts and alkaloids isolated from S. pierrei tubers against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 macrophages. Notably, the n-hexane extract strongly suppressed nitric oxide (NO) while exhibiting reduced cytotoxicity. Among the five alkaloids isolated from the n-hexane extract, the aporphine alkaloid oxocrebanine exerted considerable anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NO secretion. Oxocrebanine also significantly suppressed prostaglandin E2, tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 protein expression by inactivating the nuclear factor κB, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt inflammatory signalling pathways. Molecular docking analysis further revealed that oxocrebanine has a higher affinity for toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation primary response 88 signalling targets and the COX-2 protein than native ligands. Thus, our findings highlight the potential anti-inflammatory effects of oxocrebanine and suggest that certain alkaloids of S. pierrei could be used to treat inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of (S)-(+)-ovigerine, (S)-(+)-N-formylovigerine, and (6aS,6a'S)-(+)-ovigeridimerine of aporphine alkaloids with a benzo[d][1,3]dioxole structure feature was established. The strategy was based upon the well-known Pd-catalyzed arylation to set the aporphine framework, and Noyori asymmetric hydrogenation followed by diastereoselective resolution to achieve excellent enantioselectivity. By slightly modifying the total synthetic route and strategically combining it with a aza-Michael addition, Bischler-Napieralski reaction and N-arylation, this methodology was also applied to the total syntheses of benzo[d][1,3]dioxole-type benzylisoquinoline alkaloids of coptisines and dibenzopyrrocolines, including two impatiens, tetrahydrocoptisine, and quaternary coptisine bromide of coptisines and two dibenzopyrrocoline analogues, with the syntheses of all of these target compounds being efficient. Among the nine synthesized compounds, the total syntheses of the three aporphines and the two impatiens, all with ee values of greater than 99%, were reported for the first time. This work also represents the first unification of synthetic routes for the total synthesis of benzo[d][1,3]dioxole-type aporphines, coptisines, and dibenzopyrrocolines.

Abstract
To explore the potential of aporphine alkaloids, a novel series of functionalized aporphine analogues with alkoxy (OCH3 , OC2 H5 , OC3 H7 ) functional groups at C1/C2 of ring A and an acyl (COCH3 and COPh) or phenylsulfonyl (SO2 Ph and SO2 C6 H4 -3-CH3 ) functionality at the N6 position of ring B of the aporphine scaffold were synthesized and evaluated for their arachidonic acid (AA)-induced antiplatelet aggregation inhibitory activity and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical-scavenging antioxidant activity, with acetylsalicylic acid and ascorbic acid as standard references, respectively. The preliminary structure-activity relationship related to AA-induced platelet aggregation inhibitory activity results showed that the aporphine analogues 1-[1,2,9,10-tetramethoxy-6a,7-dihydro-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinolin-6(5H)-yl]ethanone and 1-[2-(benzyloxy)-1,9,10-trimethoxy-6a,7-dihydro-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinolin-6(5H)-yl]ethanone to be the best compounds of the series. Moreover, the DPPH free-radical-scavenging antioxidant activity results demonstrated that the aporphine analogues 1,2,9,10-tetramethoxy-6-(methylsulfonyl)-5,6,6a,7-tetrahydro-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinoline, 2-ethoxy-1,9,10-trimethoxy-6-(methylsulfonyl)-5,6,6a,7-tetrahydro-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinoline, 1-ethoxy-2,9,10-trimethoxy-6-(methylsulfonyl)-5,6,6a,7-tetrahydro-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinoline, 2,9,10-trimethoxy-6-(methylsulfonyl)-1-propoxy-5,6,6a,7-tetrahydro-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinoline, and 1-(benzyloxy)-2,9,10-trimethoxy-6-(methylsulfonyl)-5,6,6a,7-tetrahydro-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinoline were the best compounds of the series. Moreover, in silico molecular docking simulation studies of the active analogues were also performed.

Abstract
Purpureine (1), norpurpureine (2), and 3-hydroxyglaucine (4) were isolated from the leaves of Annona purpurea. A vibrational circular dichroism study for the absolute configuration determination of 1 provides evidence for the mutually dependent atropisomerism, local chirality of the sole stereogenic center, and the geometry of the tetrahedral nitrogen atom in aporphine alkaloids. The observed change in the optical rotation sign between 2 and its hydrochloride 3 might explain why this compound has been reported as dextrorotatory and levorotatory from the same botanical source. Furthermore, 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 1, 2 and 4 were fully assigned for the first time.

Abstract
Lysicamine is a natural oxoaporphine alkaloid, which isolated from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs and has been shown to possess cytotoxicity to hepatocarcinoma cell lines. Reports on its antitumor activity are scarce because lysicamine occurs in plants at a low content. In this work, we demonstrate a facile concise total synthesis of lysicamine from simple raw materials under mild reaction conditions, and the preparation of the Ru(II), Rh(III), Mn(II) and Zn(II) complexes 1–4 of lysicamine (LY). All the compounds were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ESI-MS, 1H and 13C NMR, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compared with the free ligand LY, complexes 2 and 3 exhibited superior in vitro cytotoxicity against HepG2 and NCI-H460. Mechanistic studies indicated that 2 and 3 blocked the cell cycle in the S phase by decreasing of cyclins A2/B1/D1/E1, CDK 2/6, and PCNA levels and increasing levels of p21, p27, p53 and CDC25A proteins. In addition, 2 and 3 induced cell apoptosis via both the caspase-dependent mitochondrial pathway and the death receptor pathway. in vivo study showed that 2 inhibited HepG2 tumor growth at 1/3 maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and had a better safety profile than cisplatin.

Abstract
A group of aporphine alkaloids related to (±)-nantenine (1) and bearing a C4 phenyl and various C1 or N-substituents, was synthesized and evaluated for affinity to h5-HT receptors. In general, unlike nantenine, the analogs lack affinity for the h5-HT(2A) receptor and other 5-HT receptors but bind selectively to the h5-HT(2B) receptor. With regards to 5-HT(2B) affinity, there appears to be a low tolerance for bulky C1 or N-substituents when the C4 phenyl moiety is present. Compound 5a had the highest 5-HT(2B) affinity of the compounds tested, was found to be an antagonist and is selective vs other CNS receptors.

Abstract
N-Methyllaurotetanine (1) has been reported to display good affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor, but no structure-affinity studies have been performed to date. The commercially available alkaloid boldine (2) was used as the starting material for synthesis of various C-9 alkoxy analogues of N-methyllaurotetanine in order to gauge the effect of C-9 alkylation on affinity and selectivity at 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT7 receptors. Mitsunobu reactions were implemented in the alkylation steps leading to the analogues. Modest improvement in 5-HT1A affinity was observed upon alkylation for most analogues. Thus, the C-9 hydroxy group of 1 is not critical for affinity to the 5-HT1A receptor. Some analogues displayed high affinity for the 5-HT7 receptor, comparable to N-methyllaurotetanine, with moderate selectivity vs 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors.

Abstract
Three benzophenones, 2,6,3',5'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone (1), 3,4,5,3',5'-pentahydroxybenzophenone (3) and 3,5,3',5'-tetrahydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (4), as well as a xanthone, 1,3,6-trihydroxy-5-methoxy-7-(3'-methyl-2'-oxo-but-3'-enyl)xanthone (9), were isolated from the twigs of Garcinia cantleyana var. cantleyana. Eight known compounds, 3,4,5,3'-tetrahydroxy benzophenone (2), 1,3,5-trihydroxyxanthone (5), 1,3,8-trihydroxyxanthone (6), 2,4,7-trihydroxyxanthone (7), 1,3,5,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone (8), quercetin, glutin-5-en-3β-ol and friedelin were also isolated. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The compounds were investigated for their ability to inhibit low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and platelet aggregation in human whole blood in vitro. Most of the compounds showed strong antioxidant activity with compound 8 showing the highest inhibition with an IC₅₀ value of 0.5 μM, comparable to that of probucol. Among the compounds tested, only compound 4 exhibited strong inhibitory activity against platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid (AA), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen. Compounds 3, 5 and 8 showed selective inhibitory activity on platelet aggregation induced by ADP.

Abstract
Phylligenine, together with quebrachitol, stigmasterol and two aporphine alkaloids--oxoputerine and liriodenine--were isolated from the twigs of Mitrephora vulpina C.E.C. Fisch. They were evaluated for their ability to inhibit platelet activating factor (PAF) receptor binding to rabbit platelets using 3H-PAF as a ligand and their antiplatelet aggregation effect in human whole blood induced by arachidonic acid (AA), collagen and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Of all the compounds tested, phylligenin and quebrachitol exhibited potent and concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on PAF receptor binding, with IC(50) values of 13.1 and 42.2 µM, respectively. The IC(50) value of phylligenin was comparable to that of cedrol (10.2 µM), a potent PAF antagonist. Phylligenin also showed strong dose-dependent inhibitory activity on platelet aggregation induced by AA and ADP.

Abstract
Nine essential oils, hydrodistilled from different parts of five Goniothalamus species (G. velutinus Airy-Shaw, G. woodii Merr., G. clemensii Ban, G. tapis Miq. and G. tapisoides Mat Salleh) were evaluated for their ability to inhibit platelet aggregation in human whole blood using an electrical impedance method and their inhibitory effects on platelet activating factor (PAF) receptor binding with rabbit platelets using 3H-PAF as a ligand. The chemical composition of the oils was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The bark oil of G. velutinus was the most effective sample as it inhibited both arachidonic acid (AA) and ADP-induced platelet aggregation with IC50 values of 93.6 and 87.7 µg/mL, respectively. Among the studied oils, the bark oils of G. clemensii, G. woodii, G. velutinus and the root oil of G. tapis showed significant inhibitory effects on PAF receptor binding, with IC50 values ranging from 3.5 to 10.5 µg/mL. The strong PAF antagonistic activity of the active oils is related to their high contents of sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids, and the individual components in the oils could possibly produce a synergistic effect in the overall antiplatelet activity of the oils.

Abstract
The alkaloid extract and five alkaloids isolated from subterranean stem bark of Duguetia furfuracea (Annonaceae) were investigated for the following activities: antitumoral, trypanocidal and leishmanicidal. Dicentrinone showed weak cytotoxicity, but it had the strongest leishmanicidal activity (IC(50) 0.01 microM). Duguetine and duguetine beta-N-oxide caused considerable antitumoral activity in every cell lines evaluated, although duguetine was more active against trypomastigote forms (IC(50) 9.32 microM) than other alkaloids tested.

Abstract
Berberis koreana extract (BE) has a strong neuroprotective effect after ischemic stroke in gerbils, which is associated with the inhibition of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor. The present study examined the antiinflammatory mechanism of BE after ischemic damage in vitro and in vivo. The BE used contained on average 7.39 +/- 0.78 mg/g of berberine. In PC12 cells with inflammation, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production was significantly reduced by BE. About 75% of pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA1 region of gerbils exposed to 5 min of transient ischemia were protected from ischemic damage by BE. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) immunoreactivity and its protein level in the CA1 region of vehicle-treated animals exposed to an ischemic insult increased with time post-ischemia, whereas no such changes were observed in BE-treated animals exposed to ischemia. PGE2 production in BE-treated ischemic animals was significantly lower than that observed in vehicle-treated ischemic animals. Summarizing, the potent neuroprotective effect of BE was found to be due to the inhibitions of COX-2 expression and PGE2 production and its antiinflammatory activity.
