Sesquiterpene Coumarin Ethers and Phenylpropanoids from the Roots of Ferula drudeana, the Putative Anatolian Ecotype of the Silphion Plant. Molecules 2025; 30:1916. [PMID: 40363722 PMCID: PMC12073360 DOI: 10.3390/molecules30091916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2025] [Revised: 04/15/2025] [Accepted: 04/22/2025] [Indexed: 05/15/2025] Open
Abstract
Four new sesquiterpene coumarin ethers (1-4) and a new phenylpropanoid compound (5) were isolated from a hexane extract of the roots of Ferula drudeana, the putative Anatolian ecotype of the silphion plant, in addition to nineteen previously described sesquiterpene coumarins (6-24) and four known phenylpropanoid derivatives (25-28). The structures of these compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and computational studies. The cytotoxic activities of all isolated compounds were evaluated on renal, malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and colon cancer cell lines. While 11 sesquiterpene coumarin derivatives showed strong-to-moderate cytotoxic activity against the UO31 renal cancer cell line, 13 compounds showed strong cytotoxic activity against the MPM cell line, and four sesquiterpene coumarin derivatives displayed moderate cytotoxic activity against the colon cancer cell line.

Hoffm. by small molecule accurate recognition technology. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2025; 229:114293. [PMID: 39349233 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114293] [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: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2024] [Accepted: 09/25/2024] [Indexed: 10/02/2024]
Abstract
Five undescribed lignans (1-5), along with sixteen known lignans (6-21), were isolated from the roots of Anthriscus sylvestris using small molecule accurate recognition technology (SMART). The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configurations of compounds 3-5 were elucidated by comparison of their calculated and experimental ECD spectra. Compounds 5, 14-15, 19, and 21 exhibited significantly inhibitory effects against hypoxia-stimulated abnormal proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Moreover, compounds 5, 14-15, 19, and 21 can significantly restore expression of expression of PASMCs proliferation-related protein, including α-SMA, PCNA, P27, and CyclinD3, which are closely related to cell proliferation.

Abstract
A chemical investigation of Anthriscus sylvestris roots led to the isolation and characterization of two new nitrogen-containing phenylpropanoids (1-2) and two new phenol glycosides (8-9), along with fifteen known analogues. Structure elucidation was based on HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD). In addition, compounds 3, 6, 9-10, 12, and 17 exhibited inhibitory effects against the abnormal proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells with IC50 values ranging from 10.7 ± 0.6 to 57.1 ± 1.1 μM.

Abstract
Nine undescribed compounds, along with eight known compounds, were isolated from the stipes of Lentinus edodes. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic and circular dichroism analyses. The protective effects against Aβ25-35-induced N9 microglia cells injury of these compounds were tested by MTT method, and the levels of apoptosis and ROS were detected by flow cytometry. In addition, the binding sites and interactions of compound with amyloid precursor protein were revealed using molecular docking simulations. These findings further establish the structural diversity and bioactivity of stipes of L. edodes, and provide an experimental basis for targeting Alzheimer's disease as a potential strategy.

[PMID: 38674496 PMCID: PMC11053937 DOI: 10.3390/plants13081087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Anthriscus sylvestris (L.) Hoffm. (Apiaceae), commonly known as wild chervil, has gained scientific interest owing to its diverse phytochemical profile and potential therapeutic applications. The plant, despite being categorized as a noxious weed, is traditionally used in treating various conditions like headaches, dressing wounds, and as a tonic, antitussive, antipyretic, analgesic, and diuretic. Its pharmacological importance stems from containing diverse bioactive lignans, especially aryltetralins and dibenzylbutyrolactones. One of the main compounds of A. sylvestris, deoxypodophyllotoxin, among its wide-ranging effects, including antitumor, antiproliferative, antiplatelet aggregation, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and insecticidal properties, serves as a pivotal precursor to epipodophyllotoxin, crucial in the semisynthesis of cytostatic agents like etoposide and teniposide. The main starting compound for these anticancer medicines was podophyllotoxin, intensively isolated from Sinopodophyllum hexandrum, now listed as an endangered species due to overexploitation. Since new species are being investigated as potential sources, A. sylvestris emerges as a highly promising candidate owing to its abundant lignan content. This review summarizes the current knowledge on A. sylvestris, investigating its biological and morphological characteristics, and pharmacological properties. Emphasizing the biological activities and structure-activity relationship, this review underscores its therapeutic potential, thus encouraging further exploration and utilization of this valuable plant resource.
