[PMID: 38570097 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2024.105947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Employing an MS/MS-based molecular networking-guided strategy, three new eudesmane-type sesquiterpenes (1-3) and one undescribed pseudoguaianolide sesquiterpene (8), along with four known eudesmane-type sesquiterpene lactones (4-7) were extracted and purified from the herbs of Carpesium abrotanoides L. Structural elucidation encompassed comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, NMR calculations, DP4+ analysis, and ECD calculations. The cytotoxicity activity of all isolates was evaluated against two human hepatoma carcinoma cells (HepG2 and Hep3B) in vitro. It was demonstrated that compounds 2 and 4 showed moderate cytotoxic against HepG2 and Hep3B cells. Furthermore, all compounds were evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity. Particularly noteworthy is that, in comparison to the positive control, compound 1 demonstrated significant AChE inhibition with an inhibition rate of 77.86%. In addition, the inhibitory mechanism of compound 1 were investigated by in silico docking analyze and molecular dynamic simulation.

Abstract
Hypericum beanii, a traditional folk medicine plant, has been employed in the treatment of various inflammation-related diseases and has demonstrated promising potential as an herbal remedy for cancer. In this study, we isolated 29 compounds from the roots of H. beanii. We evaluated their cytotoxic effects on five human cancer cell lines, which revealed that the ethanol extract, along with compounds 4 and 14, exhibited significant cytotoxic activity. Additionally, we assessed their anti-inflammatory properties by measuring the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Our findings showed that the ethanol extract (IC50 = 7.41 ± 0.38 μg/mL), compound 4 (IC50 = 7.82 ± 0.42 μM), and compound 14 (IC50 = 3.05 ± 0.06 μM) displayed substantial anti-inflammatory activity. ELISA assays and qPCR analysis revealed that compounds 4 and 14 may exert their anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects by inhibiting the expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNA, shedding light on their role in cancer-related inflammation.

Abstract
Autoimmune hepatitis is a serious hepatic disorder with unknown nosogenesis, and natural products have been deemed to be one of the most significant sources of new drugs against this disease. Prenyllongnols A-D (1-4), four undescribed prenylated acylphloroglucinols, were isolated from Hypericum longistylum. Compounds 1-4 exhibited remarkable immunosuppressive activities in murine splenocyte proliferation under the induction of concanavalin A (Con A), and IC50 values ranged from 2.98 ± 0.21 to 6.34 ± 0.72 μM. Furthermore, in a Con A-challenged autoimmune hepatitis mouse model, the mice in the group that were pretreated with isolate 2 significantly ameliorated liver injury and decreased proinflammatory cytokine production. Notably, natural product 2 was the first prenylated acylphloroglucinol to protect against concanavalin A-induced autoimmune hepatitis. This finding underscores the potential of prenylated acylphloroglucinol-type metabolites as promising candidates for designing novel immunosuppressors in the quest for new antiautoimmune hepatitis drugs.

Abstract
Four new δ- and γ-lactone derivatives, hyperelatolides A-D (1-4, respectively), were discovered from the aerial portions of Hypericum elatoides R. Keller. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of NMR spectra, HRESIMS, quantum chemical calculations of NMR and ECD spectra, and X-ray crystallographic data. Hyperelatolides A (1) and B (2) represent the first examples of δ-lactone derivatives characterized by a (Z)-(5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-oxopropyl)cyclohexylidene)methyl moiety and a benzoyloxy group attached to the β- and γ-positions of the δ-lactone core, respectively, while hyperelatolides C (3) and D (4) are unprecedented γ-lactone derivatives featuring substituents similar to those of 1 and 2. All compounds were tested for their inhibitory effects on NO production in LPS-activated BV-2 cells. Lactones 1 and 2 exhibited considerable antineuroinflammatory activity, with IC50 values of 5.74 ± 0.27 and 7.35 ± 0.26 μM, respectively. Moreover, the mechanistic study revealed that lactone 1 significantly suppressed nuclear factor kappa B signaling and downregulated the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in LPS-induced cells, which may contribute to its antineuroinflammatory activity.

Abstract
Hypericum L. genus plants are distributed worldwide, with numerous species identified throughout all continents, except Antarctica. These plant species are currently used in various systems of traditional medicine to treat mild depression, wounds and burns, diarrhea, pain, fevers, and their secondary metabolites previously shown, and the in vitro and/or in vivo cytotoxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, and hepatoprotective activities, as well as the acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase inhibitory activities. We conducted a systematic bibliographic search according to the Cochrane Collaboration guidelines to answer the question: "What is known about plants of Hypericum genus as a source of natural products with potential clinical biological activity?" We documented 414 different natural products with confirmed in vitro/in vivo biological activities, and 58 different Hypericum plant species as sources for these natural products. Phloroglucinols, acylphloroglucinols, xanthones, and benzophenones were the main chemical classes identified. The selective cytotoxicity against tumor cells, cell protection, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidepressant, anti-Alzheimer's, and adipogenesis-inhibition biological activities are described. Acylphloroglucinols were the most frequent compounds with anticancer and cell-protection mechanisms. To date, no work has been published with a full descriptive list directly relating secondary metabolites to their species of origin, plant parts used, extraction methodologies, mechanisms of action, and biological activities.

Abstract
Hyperhimatins A-P (1-16), sixteen new bicyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (BPAPs), were isolated and identified from Hypericum himalaicum. The planner structures of hyperhimatins A-P were confirmed via extensive NMR and careful HRESIMS data analysis. The absolute configurations of the new compounds were mainly determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation, NMR calculation, and the circular dichroism data of the in situ formed [Rh2(OCOCF3)4] complexes. All compounds were assessed for the glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4) translocation and expression enhancing effects in L6 myotubes. Compounds 1-16 could promote the GLUT-4 expression by the range of 1.95-6.04 folds, and accelerate the GLUT-4 fusion with the plasma membrane ranged from 53.56% to 76.97% at a consistence of 30 μg/mL, among compound 10 displayed the strongest GLUT-4 translocation effect.

Abstract
Assisted by an MS/MS-based molecular networking guided strategy, six undescribed germacrane-type sesquiterpene lactones, namely scaberxones A-F, along with a known analog were obtained and characterized from Elephantopus scaber L. Their structures were unequivocally assigned by detailed spectroscopic analyses, NMR and ECD spectral calculations, and computer-assisted structure elucidation (CASE), complemented with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All compounds were measured for their production of nitric oxide (NO) levels in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV-2 microglial cells to assess their anti-neuroinflammatory activity. Scaberxone F showed the most potent inhibition of NO production at a concentration of 10 μM.
