Abstract
Phytochemical analysis of Chloranthus henryi var. hupehensis roots led to the identification of a new eudesmane sesquiterpenoid dimer, 18 new sesquiterpenoids, and three known sesquiterpenoids. Among the isolates, 1 was a rare sesquiterpenoid dimer that is assembled by a unique oxygen bridge (C11-O-C8') of two highly rearranged eudesmane-type sesquiterpenes with the undescribed C16 carbon framework. (+)-2 and (-)-2 were a pair of new skeleton dinorsesquiterpenoids with a remarkable 6/6/5 tricyclic ring framework including one γ-lactone ring and the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane core. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and quantum chemical computations. In the LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cell model, 17 suppressed IL-1β and TNF-α expression with EC50 values of 6.81 and 2.76 µM, respectively, indicating its excellent efficacy in inhibiting inflammatory factors production in a dose dependent manner and without cytotoxicity. In subsequent mechanism studies, compounds 3, 16, and 17 could reduce IL-1β and TNF-α production by inhibiting IKBα/p65 pathway activation.

Abstract
Covering: 1976 to December 2023Chloranthaceae is comprised of four extant genera (Chloranthus, Sarcandra, Hedyosmum, and Ascarina), totaling about 80 species, many of which have been widely used as herbal medicines for diverse medical purposes. Chloranthaceae plants represent a rich source of structurally interesting and diverse secondary metabolites, with sesquiterpenoids and diterpenoids being the predominant structural types. Lindenane sesquiterpenoids and their oligomers, chemotaxonomical markers of the family Chloranthaceae, have shown a wide spectrum of bioactivities, attracting significant attention from organic chemists and pharmacologists. Recent achievements also demonstrated the research value of two unique structural types in this plant family, sesquiterpenoid-monoterpenoid heterodimers and meroterpenoids. This review systematically summarizes 682 structurally characterized terpenoids from 22 Chloranthaceae plants and their key biological activities as well as the chemical synthesis of selected terpenoids.

Phenolics and flavonoids from Polygonum posumbu and comparision of flavonoid compounds content in different tissues (leaves, stems and roots). Fitoterapia 2024; 174:105864. [PMID: 38408515 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2024.105864] [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: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
The growing global need for antioxidative phenolics and flavonoids for maintenance of human health resulted into search of new sustainable unexplored medicinal plants used by the traditional healers for various ailments. Many synthetic based products of phenolics and flavonoids have been used, however the demand of eco-friendly, natural herbal based products are increasing. As a result, the current study aims to explore traditional potential of Polygonum posumbu related to its phenolics and flavonoids. Optimization of extraction parameters were employed which includes: solvent selection (water, ethanol, methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate), ethanol composition (40-100%), solvent to sample ratio (30-70 ml/g), temperature (50-80 °C) and time (1-5 h). Under optimal conditions, total phenolics (TPC), total flavonoids (TFC), the extract yield (EY) and antioxidant activities of leaves extract were 162.79 ± 2.28 mg GAE/g, 56.57 ± 6.22 mg QE/g 27.96 ± 0.91%, and 27.34 ± 0.98 μg/ml respectively. Seven flavonoids were quantified in different tissues with significant (p ≤ 0.05) differences found in flavonoids contents in different parts of the plant. Highest concentration of flavonoids was observed in stems: (-)-epicatechin-53.19 ± 1.13 mg/g, myricetin-15.90 ± 0.13 mg/g, quercetin-50.66 ± 0.08 mg/g, luteolin-43.10 ± 0.47 mg/g, apigenin-16.73 ± 0.43 mg/g. Leaves and roots had the highest amount of genistein (05.06 ± 0.01 mg/g) and kaempferol (11.13 ± 0.06 mg/g) respectively. From the study it had been found that Polygonum posumbu possess a very good amount of phenolics and flavonoids and this study details first ever investigation on this plant in terms of phenolics and flavonoids. Therefore, this study enhanced the importance of this bioresource in functional food or nutraceutical industries.

Abstract
Neurotrophins (NGF, BDNF, NT3, NT4) can decrease cell death, induce differentiation, as well as sustain the structure and function of neurons, which make them promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. However, neurotrophins have not been very effective in clinical trials mostly because they cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier owing to being high-molecular-weight proteins. Thus, neurotrophin-mimic small molecules, which stimulate the synthesis of endogenous neurotrophins or enhance neurotrophic actions, may serve as promising alternatives to neurotrophins. Small-molecular-weight natural products, which have been used in dietary functional foods or in traditional medicines over the course of human history, have a great potential for the development of new therapeutic agents against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. In this contribution, a variety of natural products possessing neurotrophic properties such as neurogenesis, neurite outgrowth promotion (neuritogenesis), and neuroprotection are described, and a focus is made on the chemistry and biology of several neurotrophic natural products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma has high ability of vascular invasion and metastasis. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is closely related to the metastasis and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). According to previous research, Chloranthus henryi has anti-tumor effect, but its molecular mechanism in the treatment of HCC has not yet been stated. PURPOSE In our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of the extract of Chloranthus henryi in HCC and its target and molecular mechanism. We hoped to explore potential drugs for HCC treatment. STUDY DESIGN/METHODS In this study, we isolated a chalcone compound from Chloranthus henryi, compound 4, identified as flavokawain A (FKA). We determined the anti-HCC effect of FKA by MTT and identified the target of FKA by molecular docking and CETSA. Hepatoma cells proliferation, migration, invasion, and VM formation were examined using EDU, wound healing, transwell, vasculogenic mimicry, and IF. WB, RT-PCR, and cell transfection were used to explore the mechanism of FKA on hepatoma cells. Tissue section staining is mainly used to demonstrate the effect of FKA on HCC in vivo. RESULTS We confirmed that FKA can directly interact with CXCL12 and HCC proliferation, migration, invasion, and VM formation were all inhibited through reversing the EMT progress in vitro and in vivo through the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway. Additionally, by overexpressing and knocking down CXCL12, we got the same results. CONCLUSION FKA attenuated proliferation, invasion and metastatic and reversed EMT in HCC via PI3K/Akt/HIF-1α/NF-κB/Twist1 pathway by targeting CXCL12. This study proposed that FKA may be a candidate drug and prospective strategy for HCC therapy.

Abstract
Twelve undescribed sesquiterpenoids, named chlomultiols A-L, involving three lindenane sesquiterpenoid dimers, three eudesmane sesquiterpenoids, three guaiane sesquiterpenoids, and three cadinane sesquiterpenoids, along with four known compounds, were obtained from the whole plant of Chloranthus multistachys. Their structures were determined through spectroscopic techniques (HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR). In addition, the absolute and relative configurations of the undescribed compounds were established by using single crystal X-ray crystallography, NOESY and CD spectroscopy. The inhibitory effects of chlomultiols A-M on the production of nitric oxide in RAW 264.7 cells induced by lipopolysaccharide were evaluated. Chlomultiols A-C, and chlomultiols K-L showed moderate anti-inflammatory activities with IC50 values of 3.34 ± 0.73, 15.06 ± 1.08, 13.13 ± 3.99, 6.63 ± 1.11, and 16.16 ± 1.88 μM, respectively.

Seven eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids, including three pairs of racemic compounds (1a-3a and 1b-3b) and a sesquiterpenoid lactone (4), were obtained from the roots of Chloranthus serratus. The structures of these sesquiterpenoids were characterized based on spectroscopic analyses, ECD calculations, and X-ray diffraction experiment. Neuroprotection assays of the isolated eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids were conducted on H2O2 damaged PC12 cells. At the concentration of 10 μM, compounds 1b and 4 increased cell viability from 54.8 ± 3.3% to 76.8 ± 2.3 and 72.7 ± 8.2%, respectively.
