[PMID: 38714289 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
As currently the most common metabolic disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has shown a continuous increase in the number of patients in recent decades. Most anti-T2DM drugs tend to cause some side effects. Given the pathogenesis of T2DM, natural products have emerged as an important source of anti-T2DM drugs. This article reviews natural products with potential hypoglycemic activity from 2019 to 2023. A total of 200 previously natural products were discovered on SciFinder, PubMed and Web of Science. These products were categorized based on their structural frameworks and their biological activities were summarized. Although the mechanisms of action of most compounds are unclear, these compounds could still serve as candidates for the development of lead compounds. Therefore, further structure and activity research of natural products will significantly contribute to the development of potential anti-T2DM drugs.

Abstract
Nine previously undescribed iridoids, ptehosides A-I (1-9), together with 12 known ones (10-21), were isolated from Pterocephalus hookeri (C.B. Clarke) Höeck. Their structures were elucidated using various spectroscopic methods including HR-ESI-MS, NMR, UV, IR and CD, etc. The cytotoxic activities of all isolates were evaluated using MTT method in three human cancer cell lines (Caco2, Huh-7, and SW982). As result, compound 9 exhibited substantial inhibitory activity on Caco2, Huh-7, and SW982 cells with IC50 values of 1.17 ± 0.05, 1.15 ± 0.05 and 1.14 ± 0.04 μM, respectively. A preliminary mechanism study showed that 9 arrested the cell cycle of SW982 cells in the G0/G1 phase and induced apoptosis by upregulating Bax expression and downregulating Bcl-2 expression.

Arch Pharm Res 2024:10.1007/s12272-024-01496-z. [PMID: 38739203 DOI: 10.1007/s12272-024-01496-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
A balance between the development and suppression of inflammation can always be found in the body. When this balance is disturbed, a strong inflammatory response can damage the body. It sometimes is necessary to use drugs with a significant anti-inflammatory effect, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroid hormones, to control inflammation in the body. However, the existing anti-inflammatory drugs have many adverse effects, which can be deadly in severe cases, making research into new safer and more effective anti-inflammatory drugs necessary. Currently, numerous types of natural products with anti-inflammatory activity and distinct structural features are available, and these natural products have great potential for the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs. This review summarizes 260 natural products and their derivatives with anti-inflammatory activities in the last two decades, classified by their active ingredients, and focuses on their structure-activity relationships in anti-inflammation to lay the foundation for subsequent new drug development. We also elucidate the mechanisms and pathways of natural products that exert anti-inflammatory effects via network pharmacology predictions, providing direction for identifying subsequent targets of anti-inflammatory natural products.

Abstract
An investigation of EtOAc extract from the roots of Paeonia lactiflora yielded three new 30-noroleanane triterpenoids paeonenoides L-N (1-3) and one new oleanane triterpenoid paeonenoide O (4) together with 7 known compounds (5-11). Extensive spectrographic experiments were applied to identify the structures of 1-4, and their absolute configurations were unambiguously determined by theoretical calculations of ECD spectra, as well as the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 8, 9 and 10 were isolated from the Paeonia genus for the first time. Moreover, compounds 8, 9 and 11 showed inhibitory activities against LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 macrophages with the IC50 values of 72. 17 ± 4.74, 30.02 ± 2.03 and 28.34 ± 1.85 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Four new secoiridoid-iridoid heterodimers, pterocenoids E -H ( 1 - 4 ), together with a known analogue ( 5 ), were separated from the whole plants of Pterocephalus hookeri . Their structures were characterized by detailed spectroscopic analyses and NMR comparison with reported data for known analogues. Pterocenoid E ( 1 ) represents the first bis-iridoid example incorporating a rare trans -fused monomeric unit , and the C(8) configuration in 5 was corrected to be reversed to the original assignment. Among all the isolates, compound 5 not only showed moderate inhibition against the nitric oxide production (IC 50 = 36.0 ± 4.3 mM ) but also dose-dependently suppressed the secretion of an important pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-a, in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.7 cells.
