A review of natural products and small-molecule therapeutics acting on central nervous system malignancies: Approaches for drug development, targeting pathways, clinical trials, and challenges. Drug Dev Res 2024; 85:e22180. [PMID: 38680103 DOI: 10.1002/ddr.22180] [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: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
In 2021, the World Health Organization released the fifth edition of the central nervous system (CNS) tumor classification. This classification uses histopathology and molecular pathogenesis to group tumors into more biologically and molecularly defined entities. The prognosis of brain cancer, particularly malignant tumors, has remained poor worldwide, approximately 308,102 new cases of brain and other CNS tumors were diagnosed in the year 2020, with an estimated 251,329 deaths. The cost and time-consuming nature of studies to find new anticancer agents makes it necessary to have well-designed studies. In the present study, the pathways that can be targeted for drug development are discussed in detail. Some of the important cellular origins, signaling, and pathways involved in the efficacy of bioactive molecules against CNS tumorigenesis or progression, as well as prognosis and common approaches for treatment of different types of brain tumors, are reviewed. Moreover, different study tools, including cell lines, in vitro, in vivo, and clinical trial challenges, are discussed. In addition, in this article, natural products as one of the most important sources for finding new chemotherapeutics were reviewed and over 700 reported molecules with efficacy against CNS cancer cells are gathered and classified according to their structure. Based on the clinical trials that have been registered, very few of these natural or semi-synthetic derivatives have been studied in humans. The review can help researchers understand the involved mechanisms and design new goal-oriented studies for drug development against CNS malignancies.

Mikhaevich EI, Sorokin DV, Scherbakov AM. Honokiol inhibits the growth of hormone-resistant breast cancer cells: its promising effect in combination with metformin. Res Pharm Sci 2023; 18:580-591. [PMID: 37842518 PMCID: PMC10568957 DOI: 10.4103/1735-5362.383712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and purpose Primary and metastatic breast cancers still represent an unmet clinical need for improved chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Considerable attention has been paid to natural anticancer compounds, especially lignans. The study aimed to evaluate the activity of several lignans against breast cancer cells and assess the effect of leading lignans on signaling pathways in combination with metformin. Experimental approach Human breast cancer cell lines MCF7 (hormone-dependent), MDA-MB-231, and SKBR3 (hormone-independent) were used. A hormone-resistant MCF7/hydroxytamoxifen (HT) subline was obtained by long-term cultivation of the MCF7 line with hydroxytamoxifen. Antiproliferative activity was assessed by the MTT test; the expression of signaling pathway proteins was evaluated by immunoblotting analysis. Findings/Results We evaluated the antiproliferative activity of lignans in breast cancer cells with different levels of hormone dependence and determined the relevant IC50 values. Honokiol was chosen as the leading compound, and its IC50 ranged from 12 to 20 μM, whereas for other tested lignans, the IC50 exceeded 50 μM. The accumulation of cleaved PARP and a decrease in the expression of Bcl-2 and ERα in MCF7/HT were induced following the combination of honokiol with metformin. Conclusions and implications Honokiol demonstrated significant antiproliferative activity against both hormone-dependent breast cancer cells and lines with primary and acquired hormone resistance. The combination of honokiol with metformin is considered an effective approach to induce death in hormone-resistant cells. Honokiol is of interest as a natural compound with antiproliferative activity against breast cancers, including resistant tumors.

Abstract
Plants containing podophyllotoxin and its analogues have been used as folk medicines for centuries. The characteristic chemical structures and strong biological activities of this class of compounds attracted attention worldwide. Currently, more than ninety natural podophyllotoxins were isolated, and structure modifications of these molecules were performed to afford a variety of derivatives, which offered optimized anti-tumor activity. This review summarized up to date reports on natural occurring podophyllotoxins and their sources, structural modification and biological activities. Special attention was paid to both structural modification and optimized antitumor activity. It was noteworthy that etoposide, a derivative of podophyllotoxin, could prevent cytokine storm caused by the recent SARS-CoV-2 viral infection.

Abstract
Wild chervil (Anthriscus sylvestris) is a widespread, wild-growing herbaceous plant from Apiaceae family, known for high content of lignans related to podophyllotoxin, and thus representing a promising new source for their industrial isolation. The data on detailed chemical profile of A. sylvestris lignans are still lacking. By combining fractionation with non-targeted LC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS metabolite profiling, we have identified, fully or tentatively, 46 lignans, 12 of which were never reported in A. sylvestris and 19 in any biological source. The dominant lignans were found to be nemerosin, yatein, deoxypodophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxone and guayadequiol. In addition to well-known dibenzylbutyrolactones, aryltetralins and 7-oxygenated aryltetralins, we found several oxygenated lignan classes previously undescribed in A. sylvestris - 7-hydroxy, 7-oxo and 8-hydroxydibenzylbutyrolactones, a 7'-oxotetrahydrofuran and a 7-hydroxyarylnaphthalene. To facilitate future rapid classification and identification of lignans in raw extracts, UV, MS and NMR spectral features of different lignan classes are described.

Abstract
Four undescribed alkaloids, 7-ethoxy-6-methoxy-2-methylisoquinolin-1(2H)-one, 7,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-methylisoquinolin-1(2H)-one, N-formylhernagine, and 5,6-dihydroxy-N-methylphthalimide, were obtained from the root bark of Hernanadia nymphaeifolia, along with fourteen known compounds. The structures of these compounds were determined through spectroscopic and MS analyses. 7,8-Dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-methylisoquinolin-1(2H)-one, N-formylhernagine, 5,6-dihydroxy-N-methylphthalimide, oxohernagine, hernandonine, and N-trans-feruloylmethoxytyramine inhibited the superoxide anion (O2-) production (IC50 values ≤ 6.23 μg/mL) by neutrophils stimulated with formyl-L-methionyl-L-leuckyl-L-phenyl-alanine/cytochalasin B (fMLP/CB). Furthermore, 7,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-methylisoquinolin-1(2H)-one, N-formylhernagine, 5,6-dihydroxy-N-methylphthalimide, oxohernagine, and N-trans-feruloylmethoxytyramine inhibited fMLP/CB-induced elastase release with IC50 values ≤ 7.41 μg/mL. In addition, 7,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-methylisoquinolin-1(2H)-one, N-formylhernagine, oxohernagine, and N-trans-feruloylmethoxytyramine showed potent inhibition with IC50 values ≤ 28.55 μM, against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) generation.

Abstract
Seven new butanolides, peltanolides A–G (1–7), and two lignan glucosides, peltasides A (8) and B (9), along with eleven known compounds, 10–20, were isolated from a crude CH3OH/CH2Cl2 (1:1) extract of the fruit of Hernandia nymphaeifolia (Hernandiaceae). The structures of 1–9 were characterized by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and HRMS analysis. The absolute configurations of newly isolated compounds 1–9 were determined from data obtained by optical rotation and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) exciton chirality methods. Butanolides and lignan glucosides have not been isolated previously from this genus. Several isolated compounds were evaluated for antiproliferative activity against human tumor cell lines. Lignans 15 and 16 were slightly active against chemosensitive tumor cell lines A549 and MCF-7, respectively. Furthermore, both compounds displayed significant activity (IC50 = 5 µM) against a P-glycoprotein overexpressing multidrug-resistant tumor cell line (KB-VIN) but were less active against its parent chemosensitive cell line (KB).

Abstract
Numerous oxidative transformations of lignan structures have been reported in the literature. In this paper we present an overview on the current findings in the field. The focus is put on transformations targeting a specific structure, a specific reaction, or an interconversion of the lignan skeleton. Oxidative transformations related to biosynthesis, antioxidant measurements, and total syntheses are mostly excluded. Non-metal mediated as well as metal mediated oxidations are reported, and mechanisms based on hydrogen abstractions, epoxidations, hydroxylations, and radical reactions are discussed for the transformation and interconversion of lignan structures. Enzymatic oxidations, photooxidation, and electrochemical oxidations are also briefly reported.

Abstract
The genus Bursera belongs to the family Burseraceae and has been used in traditional Mexican medicine for treating various pathophysiological disorders. The most representative phytochemicals isolated from this genus are terpenoids and lignans. Lignans are phenolic metabolites known for their antioxidant, apoptotic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-protozoal properties. Though the genus includes more than 100 species, we have attempted to summarize the biological activities of the 34 lignans isolated from selected Mexican Bursera plants.

Abstract
Three pairs of new 8-O-4'-type dinorneolignan enantiomers, (±)-acortatarinowins A-C (1a/1b-3a/3b), a pair of new 8-O-4'-type (4a/4b) and a pair of rare C7-C8'-type (5a/5b) neolignan enantiomers, (±)-acortatarinowins D and E, and a pair of new furofuran-type lignan enantiomers, (±)-acortatarinowin F (6a/6b), along with two pairs of known lignan enantiomers (7a/7b and 8a/8b), were obtained from the rhizomes of Acorus tatarinowii. The separation of 1-8 by chiral HPLC using a Daicel IC column led to the isolation of eight pairs of enantiomers, 1a/1b-8a/8b, which had variable enantiomeric excess (ee) values of approximately 66, 71, 63, 60, 0, 38, 48, and 75%, respectively. The structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic and chemical methods, and their absolute configurations were determined by a combined analysis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and a modified Mosher's method, assisted by experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism data. Among them, compounds 1a, 3a, 6b, 8a, and 8b showed weak inhibitory activities against NO production in activated macrophages with IC50 values ranging from 23.3 to 38.0 μM, respectively.

Abstract
The present review describes research on novel natural isoquinoline alkaloids and their N-oxides isolated from different plant species. More than 200 biological active compounds have shown confirmed antimicrobial, antibacterial, antitumor, and other activities. The structures, origins, and reported biological activities of a selection of isoquinoline N-oxides alkaloids are reviewed. With the computer program PASS some additional SAR (structure-activity relationship) activities are also predicted, which point toward new possible applications of these compounds. This review emphasizes the role of isoquinoline N-oxides alkaloids as an important source of leads for drug discovery.

Abstract
CONTEXT Scientific validation of an ethnomedicinal combination consisting of Semecarpus kurzii Engler (Anacardeaceae) leaves (SKL) and Hernandia peltata Meisn (Hernandeaceae) stem-bark (HPB), traditionally used in ailments related to inflammation, pain and fever. OBJECTIVE To validate in vivo and in vitro analgesic and antiinflammatory activities of methanol extract of SKL, HPB and their combination. MATERIALS AND METHODS Analgesic activity was tested by acetic acid induced writhing reflex and tail flick in Swiss albino mice, while the anti-inflammatory activity was studied in acute, subacute and chronic model on Wistar rats. The vascular permeability, membrane stabilization and protein denaturation were examined to know the possible mode of action. RESULTS Significant (p < 0.01) analgesic (78.04% inhibition of writhing) and antiinflammatory (72.54% inhibition of paw edema) activity was observed in combination of SKL and HPB extracts at 250 mg/kg each. The SKL extract alone inhibits acetic acid-induced vascular permeability (64.4%) at 500 mg/kg, while in combination at 250 mg/kg each, the inhibition was 69.49% (p < 0.01). Furthermore, SKL in combination with HPB (0.25 mg/mL each) prevent RBC hemolysis (61.91%) and inhibition of protein denaturation (76.52%)-like indomethacin. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The SKL and HPB extract, alone (500 mg/kg) and in combination, (250 mg/kg each) had significant analgesic and antiinflammatory activity, probably by inhibiting the release of certain inflammatory mediators and membrane stabilization, due to the presence of triterpenes, tannins and related phytochemicals in the extracts. Thus, our results demonstrated that this combination provide the scientific rationale of its folk use.

Cytotoxic podophyllotoxin type-lignans from the steam bark of Bursera fagaroides var. fagaroides. Molecules 2012; 17:9506-19. [PMID: 22878225 PMCID: PMC6268064 DOI: 10.3390/molecules17089506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2012] [Revised: 08/03/2012] [Accepted: 08/03/2012] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The hydroalcoholic extract of the steam bark of B. fagaroides var. fagaroides displayed potent cytotoxic activity against four cancer cell lines, namely KB (ED50 = 9.6 × 10−2 μg/mL), PC-3 (ED50 = 2.5 × 10−1 μg/mL), MCF-7 (ED50 = 6.6 μg/mL), and HF-6 (ED50 = 7.1 × 10−3 μg/mL). This extract also showed anti-tumour activity when assayed on mice inoculated with L5178Y lymphoma cells. Bioactivity-directed isolation of this extract, afforded seven podophyllotoxin-type lignans identified as podophyllotoxin (1), β-peltatin-A-methylether (2), 5′-desmethoxy-β-peltatin-A-methylether (3), desmethoxy-yatein (4), desoxypodophyllotoxin (5), burseranin (6), and acetyl podophyllotoxin (7) by 1D and 2DNMR and FAB-MS analyses, and comparison with reported values. All the isolated compounds showed potent cytotoxic activity in the cell lines tested, especially compound 3, which exhibited greater activity than camptothecin and podophyllotoxin against PC-3 (ED50 = 1.0 × 10−5 μg/mL), and KB (ED50 = 1.0 × 10−5 μg/mL). This is the first report of the isolation of podophyllotoxin and its acetate in a Bursera species.

Abstract
In continuation of our studies into the mass spectrometric detection of natural lignans and their identification in complex mixtures such as crude plant extracts, the electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric (ESI-MS/MS) fragmentation of Delta(7,8)-unsaturated dibenzylbutyrolactone-type lignans (lign-7-eno-9,9'-lactones) was studied in detail. It is demonstrated that the characteristic fragmentation allows unambiguous identification including distinction between constitutional isomers. These lignans containing an alpha,beta-unsaturated lactone structure exist as equilibrium mixtures of E- and Z-isomers indistinguishable by mass spectrometry, but it is shown that chromatographic retention time can be used to distinguish between the isomeric forms. Based on these observations, re-analysis of the dichloromethane extract obtained from flowering aerial parts of Linum usitatissimum L. by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/ESI-MS/MS led to the identification of eighteen lignans of these types (five lignano- and one lignenolactone previously reported along with five further lignano- as well as seven lignenolactones hitherto unreported for this plant). The simultaneous identification of eighteen different lignans in the complex matrix of a crude plant extract by a single analysis demonstrates the potential of this method, which will certainly lead to new insights into the lignan composition and metabolism of different Linum species and many other plants.
