Abstract
Styryllactones, a class of compounds obtained from the genus Goniothalamus (Annonaceae), have demonstrated in vitro antitumor activity. However, the aqueous solubility of these compounds is poor. In this study, we identified the absolute configurations of the previously isolated compounds, which were first isolated in our laboratory, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis using Cu Kα radiation. Subsequently, the antitumor activities of the compounds were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide staining in four tumor cell lines. The induced apoptosis activity of leiocarpin E-7'-Monoacetate was studied by an annexin V fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide double-staining experiment, and the caspase activity was tested in the SW1116 cell line. The results demonstrated that the antitumor activities of cheliensisin A and goniodiol-7-monoacetate were limited by their poor water solubility. To address this issue, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) complexes of the compounds were synthesized by the saturated aqueous method. The complexes were then analyzed using a differential scanning calorimeter. The IC50 of cheliensisin A was reduced by 45% and 58% against SW1116 and SMMC-7721 cell lines, respectively. Similarly, the IC50 of goniodiol-7-monoacetate was reduced by 55% and 34% against the two tumor cell lines, respectively. To further evaluate whether the styryllactones and complexes possessed selectivity against cancer cell lines and normal cell lines, toxicity against human normal cell line (HEK293T) was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the HP-β-CD complexes displayed more cytotoxicity than the respective pristine compounds against the HEK293T cell line. However, there existed a therapeutic window when the complexes were applied against cancer cell lines. In summary, the synthesis of several styryllactone compounds complexed with HP-β-CD was reported for the first time. These complexes could significantly enhance the cytotoxic effects of styryllactone compounds.

A comparative study of chromatographic behavior and lipophilicity of selected natural styryl lactones, their derivatives and analogues. Eur J Pharm Sci 2017; 105:99-107. [PMID: 28487143 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2017.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2017] [Revised: 05/03/2017] [Accepted: 05/03/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
This study is based on the analyses of the retention behavior of selected natural styryl lactones and their synthetic analogues in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Chromatographic separations were achieved applying ZORBAX SB-C18 column and two different mobile phases: methanol-water and acetonitrile-water. Chromatographic lipophilicity of the analyzed compounds was defined by logk0 constant and correlated with in silico molecular descriptors. According to the statistical validation parameters, obtained results indicate that the presented linear and multiple quantitative structure-retention relationship models can successfully predict the chromatographic lipophilicity of structurally similar compounds. Hierarchical cluster analyses (HCA) was applied in order to group similar compounds according to their chromatographic and in silico lipophilicity. It can be concluded that chromatographic systems with methanol-water were better for modelling of logk0. Modelling was performed in order to characterize compounds regarding their lipophilicity profiles as future drug candidates.

Abstract
Altholactone exhibited the anti-fungal activity with a high MIC value of 128 μg ml(-1) against Cryptococcus neoformans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Fifteen ester derivatives of altholactone 1-15 were modified by esterification and their structures were confirmed by spectroscopic methods. Most of the ester derivatives exhibited stronger anti-fungal activities than that of the precursor altholactone. 3-Bromo- and 2,4-dichlorobenzoates (7 and 15) exhibited the lowest minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against C. neoformans at 16 μg ml(-1), while the 4-bromo-, 4-iodo-, and 1-bromo-3-chlorobenzoates (11-13) displayed potent activity against S. cerevisiae with MIC values of 1 μg ml(-1). In conclusion, this analysis indicates that the anti-fungal activity of altholactone is enhanced by addition of halogenated benzoyl group to the 3-OH group.

Abstract
Two new styryllactones, macrocalactone (1) and 3-deoxycardiobutanolide (2), were isolated from the fruits of Goniothalamus macrocalyx Ban (Annonaceae), together with seven known compounds including four acetogenins, annonacin (3), solamin (4), isoannonacin (5), trans-murisolinone (6), and three other compounds, 7-acetylaltholactone (7), β-caryophyllene-8R,9R-oxide (8) and 2-(2′-hydroxytetracosanoylamino)-octadecane-l,3,4-triol (9). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and MS analysis. The absolute configuration of I was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The structures of the acetogenins were confirmed by liquid chromatography coupled to a hybrid quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometer, using post-column lithium infusion. The results were compared with the fragmentation obtained with a hybrid linear trap-orbitrap mass spectrometer. Compound 7 had cytotoxicity against KB, HepG2, Lu, and MCF7 cell lines with IC50 values of 13.1, 23.7, 26.3 and 60.2 μM, respectively, whereas annonacin (3) was selectively active against KB cells (IC50 value of 6.5 μM). The discovery of 3-deoxycardiobutanolide (2) from the fruits of this plant revealed that G. macrocalyx could be a valuable natural resource to obtain this compound as it has been previously reported to have a significant cytotoxicity against different cancer cell lines, especially HL-60 cells.

Abstract
An investigation of the chemical constituents in a dichloromethnae extract of Goniothalamus undulatus root led to the isolation of three known styryl lactones (5-acetoxyisogoniothalamin oxide, O-acetylaltholactone and altholactone), and four known annonaceous acetogenins (annonacin, cis-annonacin, goniothalamicin and cis-goniothalamicin). These compounds were subjected to a sulphorhodamine B (SRB) cytotoxicity assay against human large cell lung carcinoma (COR-L23), and normal human fetal fibroblast (MRC-5), cell lines. The isolated acetogenins showed higher cytotoxic activity against COR-L23 compared to the styryl lactones, with IC₅₀ values in the range of 0.5-1.7 μM and 7.4-15.4 μM, respectively. A similar pattern of cytotoxicity was also observed against the other cell line (MRC-5); acetogenins IC₅₀ values were in the range of 11.8-31.4 μM, and those for styryl lactones were in the range of 48.7-102.8 μM. This is the first report of a bioassay-guided isolation of chemical constituents from G. undulatus and on cytotoxic studies of the isolated compounds using these particular lung cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Goniothalamin (GN), a styryl-lactone isolated from Goniothalamus andersonii, has been demonstrated to possess antirestenostic properties by inducing apoptosis on coronary artery smooth muscle cells (CASMCs). In this study, the molecular mechanisms of GN-induced CASMCs apoptosis were further elucidated. Apoptosis assessment based on the externalization of phosphatidylserine demonstrated that GN induces CASMCs apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. The GN-induced DNA damage occurred with concomitant elevation of p53 as early as 2 h, demonstrating an upstream signal for apoptosis. However, the p53 elevation in GN-treated CASMCs was independent of NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 and Mdm-2 expression. An increase in hydrogen peroxide and reduction in free thiols confirmed the role for oxidative stress in GN treatment. Pretreatment with the pan-caspase inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethyl ketone (z-VAD-FMK) that significantly abrogated GN-induced CASMCs apoptosis suggested the involvement of caspase(s). The role of apical caspase-2, -8, and -9 was then investigated, and sequential activation of caspase-2 and -9 but not caspase-8 leading to downstream caspase-3 cleavage was observed in GN-treated CASMCs. Reduction of ATP level and decrease in oxygen consumption further confirmed the role of mitochondria in GN-induced apoptosis in CASMCs. The mitochondrial release of cytochrome c was seen without mitochondrial membrane potential loss and was independent of cardiolipin. These data provide insight into the mechanisms of GN-induced apoptosis, which may have important implications in the development of drug-eluting stents.

Abstract
Irrespective of the presence of cytotoxic acetogenins and styryl-lactones in the genus Goniothalamus, only 22 species in the genus Goniothalamus, out of 160 species (13.7%) have so far been investigated. In an effort to promote further research on the genus Goniothalamus which could represent a source of drugs for the treatment of cancers and bacterial infections, this work offers a broad analysis of current knowledge on Goniothalamus species. Therefore, it includes (i) taxonomy (ii) botanical description (iii) traditional medicinal uses and (iv) phytochemical and pharmacological studies. We discuss the molecular mechanisms of actions of acetogenins and styryl-lactones, with some emphasis on the possible involvement of protein kinase, Bax and TRAIL receptors in the cytotoxic effects of styryl-lactones. We also report (v) the growth inhibition of several nosocomial bacteria by Goniothalamus. scortechinii. The crude methanol extract of G. scortechinii showed a good and broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract
Four new styryl-lactones, crassalactones A-D (1-4), were isolated from a cytotoxic ethyl acetate-soluble extract of the leaves and twigs of Polyalthia crassa, together with seven known compounds, (+)-3-acetylaltholactone, (+)-altholactone, aristolactam AII, cinnamic acid, (+)-goniofufurone, (+)-goniopypyrone, and (+)-howiinol A. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of 1-3 was established by chemical conversions. Single-crystal X-ray analysis and the Mosher ester method were used to confirm the absolute stereochemistry of 4. Cytotoxic evaluation against several mammalian cancer cell lines was performed on all new isolates, aristolactam AII, and the modified (+)-tricinnamate derivative 11 obtained from 1.

We extracted and isolated three natural styryl lactones from Goniothalamus griffithii Hook f. Thoms and investigated their cytotoxicity on a panel of three hepatocyte cell lines, HepG2, drug resistant HepG2 (HepG2-R) and primary cultured normal mice hepatocyte in order to find candidates of potential anti-cancer drugs which have low toxicity on normal cells and high effect on tumors or drug resistant tumors. All the three styryl lactones showed evident cytotoxic activities on both HepG2 and HepG2-R cell lines; however, gonithalamin and goniodiol shows less toxicity on normal mice hepatocyte as the IC(50) values of them on normal mice hepatocyte were about three times of that on HepG2. Morphological observation and cell cycle analysis were employed to elucidate the mechanisms of cytotoxicity of the tested compounds. Many apoptotic cells were observed in gonithalamin- and altholactone-treated cells, whereas, cells with chromosomes gathered at the equator were easily found in goniodiol-treated cultures. The analysis of cell cycle showed that G(2)/M arrest contributed to goniothalimin- and gonidiol-caused cell death and apoptosis was the cause of gonithalamin- and altholactone-induced cell death. Our results suggest that the three styryl lactones may be prospectively developed into anti-tumor drugs, especially on treating drug-resistance tumor after structure modification.

Abstract
Plant styryl-lactone derivatives isolated from Goniothalamus sp. are potential compounds for cancer chemotherapy. In this study, we have examined the mechanisms of apoptosis induced by altholactone, a stryl-lactone isolated from the Malaysian plant G. malayanus on human HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. Flow cytometric analysis of the externalization of phosphatidylserine (PS) using the annexin V/PI method on altholactone treated HL-60 cells showed a concentration-dependent increase of apoptosis from concentrations ranging from 10.8 (2.5 microg/ml) to 172.4 microM (40 microg/ml). Pre-treatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (1 mM) completely abrogated apoptosis induced by altholactone, suggesting for the involvement of oxidative stress. Further flow cytometric assessment of the level of intracellular peroxides using the fluorescent probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) confirmed that altholactone induced an increase in cellular oxidative stress in HL-60 cells which was suppressed by N-acetylcysteine. In summary, our results demonstrate for the first time that altholactone induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells occurs via oxidative stress.
