Phytochemical and biological assessment of secondary metabolites isolated from a rhizosphere strain, Sphingomonas sanguinis DM of Datura metel. BMC Complement Med Ther 2024; 24:205. [PMID: 38796482 PMCID: PMC11128111 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-024-04482-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The plant roots excrete a large number of organic compounds into the soil. The rhizosphere, a thin soil zone around the roots, is a hotspot for microbial activity, making it a crucial component of the soil ecosystem. Secondary metabolites produced by rhizospheric Sphingomonas sanguinis DM have sparked significant curiosity in investigating their possible biological impacts. METHODS A bacterial strain has been isolated from the rhizosphere of Datura metel. The bacterium's identification, fermentation, and working up have been outlined. The ethyl acetate fraction of the propagated culture media of Sphingomonas sanguinis DM was fractioned and purified using various chromatographic techniques. The characterization of the isolated compounds was accomplished through the utilization of various spectroscopic techniques, such as UV, MS, 1D, and 2D-NMR. Furthermore, the evaluation of their antimicrobial activity was conducted using the agar well diffusion method, while cytotoxicity was assessed using the MTT test. RESULTS The extract from Sphingomonas sanguinis DM provided two distinct compounds: n-dibutyl phthalic acid (1) and Bis (2-methyl heptyl) phthalate (2) within its ethyl acetate fraction. Furthermore, the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Sphingomonas sanguinis DM has been registered under the NCBI GenBank database with the accession number PP422198. The bacterial extract exhibited its effect against gram-positive bacteria, inhibiting Streptococcus mutans (12.6 ± 0.6 mm) and Staphylococcus aureus (10.6 ± 0.6 mm) compared to standard antibiotics. Conversely, compound 1 showed a considerable effect against phytopathogenic fungi such as Alternaria alternate (56.3 ± 10.6 mm) and Fusarium oxysporum (21.3 ± 1.5 mm) with a MIC value of 17.5 µg/mL. However, it was slightly active against Klebsiella pneumonia (11.0 ± 1.0 mm). Furthermore, compound 2 was the most active metabolite, having a significant antimicrobial efficacy against Rhizoctonia solani (63.6 ± 1.1 mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16.7 ± 0.6 mm), and Alternaria alternate (20.3 ± 0.6 mm) with MIC value at 15 µg/mL. In addition, compound 2 exhibited the most potency against hepatocellular (HepG-2) and skin (A-431) carcinoma cell lines with IC50 values of 107.16 µg/mL and 111.36 µg/mL, respectively. CONCLUSION Sphingomonas sanguinis DM, a rhizosphere bacterium of Datura metel, was studied for its phytochemical and biological characteristics, resulting in the identification of two compounds with moderate antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities.

Abstract
Aromatic scaffolds are an important part of biologically active compounds and molecular probes used to study biochemical pathways and the involved targeted proteins of interest. 1-Oxo-1H-phenalene-2,3-dicarbonitrile-based compounds have been described as inhibitors of the BCL-2 family of proteins, and this core structure represents numerous possibilities for modifications that could lead to improved inhibitory potencies. Many studies demonstrated intriguing characteristics of these compounds in terms of reactivity and, interestingly, some contradictory literature reports appeared about reaction outcomes to synthesize them. Here, we initially provide a condensed overview of transformations performed on the phenalene scaffold, followed by the resynthesis of a 6-phenoxy-substituted derivative. We show that the initial determination of this particular structure was wrong and provide two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) evidence to assign the structure properly. When preparing new derivatives using the same synthetic route, we observed 6- and 7-substituted regioisomers. After confirming their structures by NMR experiments, the ability of these compounds to inhibit BCL-2 was evaluated. The most potent 1-oxo-1H-phenalene-2,3-dicarbonitrile derivatives inhibited BCL-2 in the nanomolar range and showed double-digit micromolar cytotoxicity against four different cancer cell lines.

Abstract
A small library of cage-like heterocyclic hybrids encompassing pyrroloisoquinolines, pyridinone and acenaphthene structural moieties have been synthesized and tested for their potential as anticancer agents against HCT116 and JURKAT cell lines. The results revealed that these cell lines are more sensitive towards compound 1g and it showed dose dependent cytotoxic effect at 48 hrs of incubation. The IC50 values of compound 1g against HCT116 and JURKAT cell lines are 12.14 ± 1.53 and 10.68 ± 0.68 µM, respectively. Further studies on the determination of mechanism of action of compound 1g discovered that it brought the cell death by inducing Caspase 3 dependent apoptosis and also by arresting the cell cycle at S phase. These studies revealed that compound 1g can be recommended as a potential anti-cancer agent.

Abstract
A series of new chromone analogues bearing heterocyclic thioether moiety and aurone analogues bearing cyclic tertiary amine moiety were designed and synthesized under microwave irradiation. The synthetic protocol was found to present many advantages, such as higher yields, shorter reaction time (10-20 min), mild condition, and readily isolation of the products. The synthesized compounds were assayed for their antitumor activity against four kinds of human solid tumor cell lines including HCCLM-7, Hep-2, MDA-MB-435S, and SW-480. Two compounds, (Z)-2-((4-benzyl-piperazin-1-yl)methylene)benzofuran-3(2H)-one 5e and (Z)-2-((4-(bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)methylene)benzofuran-3(2H)-one 5f, were identified as the most promising candidates with the IC(50) values in the range of 4.1-13.1 microM. Further cell cycle studies revealed that compounds 5e and 5f arrest the cell cycle in G(0)/G(1) phase and displayed apoptosis-inducing effect on Hep-2 cells.

Bioorg Med Chem 2006; 14:6962-70. [PMID: 16828559 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2006.06.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2006] [Revised: 06/15/2006] [Accepted: 06/16/2006] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
A series of acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrrole derivatives were synthesized and their intercalation geometries with DNA and antitumor activities were investigated in detail. From combination of SYBR Green-DNA melt curve, fluorescence titration, absorption titration, and circular dichroism (CD) studies, it was identified that to different extent, all the compounds behaved as DNA intercalators and transformed B form DNA to A-like conformation. The different intercalation modes for the compounds were revealed. The compounds containing a methylpiperazine substitution (series I) intercalated in a fashion that the long axis of the molecule paralleled to the base-pair long axis, while the alkylamine- substituted compounds (series II and III) located vertically to the long axis of DNA base pairs. Consequently, the DNA binding affinity of these compounds was obtained with the order of II>III>I, which attributed to the role of the substitution in binding geometry. Further, cell-based studies showed all the compounds exhibited outstanding antitumor activities against two human tumor cell lines with IC(50) ranging from 10(-7) to 10(-6)M. Interestingly, compound (1)a (a compound in series I), whose binding affinity was one of the lowest but altered DNA conformation most significantly, showed much lower IC(50) value than other compounds. Moreover, it could induce tumor cells apoptosis, while the compounds (2)a and (3)a (in series II and III, respectively) could only necrotize tumor cells. Their different mechanism of killing tumor cells might lie in their different DNA binding geometry. It could be concluded that the geometry of intercalator-DNA complex contributed much more to the antitumor property than binding affinity.
