Abstract
A phytochemical investigation on the 70% EtOH extract of the fruit of Acanthpanax senticosus resulted in the isolation of three new triterpenoids, Falcatane C (1), Acasentrioid F (2), Acasentrioid G (3) together with twenty-seven known ones (4-30). Structural elucidation of all the compounds was performed by spectral methods such as 1D or 2D (1H-1H COSY, HSQC, and HMBC), NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Moreover, all compounds were evaluated for their effects on H2O2-induced neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Ycells. Compounds 13 and 15 showed significant neuroprotective impact at a specific concentration, and compounds 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13-15, 17, 20-21, 23-25, 27, 29-30 showed moderate neuroprotective effect. The current study suggests that triterpenes in Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr.) Harms may play an essential role in the neuroprotective properties.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 324:117813. [PMID: 38281691 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.117813] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Fatsia japonica is a traditional medicine used to treat various diseases, including inflammation-related disorders. However, its antineuroinflammatory and neuroprotective effects remain unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY We aimed to evaluate the anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective effects of F. japonica extract to identify the underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS The components of F. japonica extract were profiled using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The effects of F. japonica extract were investigated in BV2 microglia and HT22 hippocampal cells. Furthermore, in vivo effects of F. japonica extract were assessed using zebrafish models treated with H2O2 and LPS to evaluate the effects of in vivo. RESULTS We identified 27 compounds in the F. japonica extract. F. japonica extract demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties by suppressing LPS-induced inflammatory responses in both BV2 cells and zebrafish, along with inhibiting the activation of the nuclear factor (NF)-κB (p65) pathway. The protective effects of this extract were also observed on glutamate-treated HT22 cells and in H2O2-induced zebrafish. Furthermore, F. japonica extract upregulated nuclear factor E2-related (Nrf) 2/heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression in BV2 and HT22 cells. CONCLUSIONS F. japonica extract exerted anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective effects through Nrf2/HO-1 and the NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
This experiment's with aim was to study the pharmacokinetics of asperosaponin VI and its three metabolites (cauloside A, HN saponin F and hederagenin) via a sensitive high performance liquid chromatography connected with electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrum (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reverse phase C18 column with a gradient mobile phase of CH3CN-water with 0.1 % HCOOH at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Sample analysis was simultaneously performed with a multiple reaction monitoring mode using target determination ions at m/z 927.5 → 603.4 for asperosaponin VI, m/z 811.1 → 603.4 for cauloside A, m/z 649.4 → 603.4 for HN saponin F, m/z 71.4 → 393.3 for hederagenin and m/z 307.0 → 161.1 for warfarin as the internal standard. The calibration curve was linear at the range of 0.25-500 ng/mL, and the lower limit of quantification was 0.25 ng/mL for each compound. While the precisely intra-assay and inter-assay variabilities were <9.5 and 7.8 %, respectively; accuracy was determined at the concentrations of 5, 25, 100 ng/mL for all the analytes with the relative standard deviation (%) no more than 15.0 %. Consequently, the validated method could be successfully and precisely applied to the pharmacokinetic study of asperosaponin VI and its metabolites. As a result, the pharmacokinetic parameters of cauloside A, HN saponin F and hederagenin such as T max were obtained at 9.33 ± 2.49, 7.33 ± 0.47 and 12.33 ± 2.36 h, respectively.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects and Mechanisms of Fatsia polycarpa Hayata and Its Constituents. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2013; 2013:857213.

Abstract
Fatsia polycarpa, a plant endemic to Taiwan, is an herbal medicine known for treating several inflammation-related diseases, but its biological function needs scientific support. Thus, the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of the methanolic crude extract (MCE) of F. polycarpa and its feature constituents, that is, brassicasterol (a phytosterol), triterpenoids 3α-hydroxyolean-11,13(18)-dien-28-oic acid (HODA), 3α-hydroxyolean-11-en-28,13β-olide (HOEO), fatsicarpain D, and fatsicarpain F, were investigated. MCE and HOEO, but not brassicasterol, dose-dependently inhibited lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-)induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in RAW 264.7 macrophage line, whereas HODA, fatsicarpain D and fatsicarpain F were toxic to RAW cells. Additionally, MCE and HOEO suppressed LPS-induced production of nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, and interleukin-1β and interfered with LPS-promoted activation of the inhibitor kappa B kinase (IKK)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway, and that of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38. In animal tests, MCE and HOEO effectively ameliorated 12-O-tetradecanoylphorobol-13 acetate- (TPA-)induced ear edema of mice. Thus, MCE of F. polycarpa exhibited an obvious anti-inflammatory activity in vivo and in vitro that likely involved the inhibition of the IKK/NF-κB pathway and the MAPKs, which may be attributed by triterpenoids such as HOEO.

Abstract
Previously we reported that the antiproliferative and antiviral actions of 7-chloro-1,3 dihydroxyacridone (compound 1) and its derivatives may be mediated through the inhibition of mammalian DNA topoisomerase II. In the present work, we have extended our investigation into the mechanism of topoisomerase II inhibition by these agents. Both compound 1 and its 7-OH derivative, compound 2, inhibited topoisomerase II catalytic activity in vitro, yet neither agent affected the activity of topoisomerase I. DNA unwinding assays indicated that compound 1 and compound 2 bound to DNA, although no correlation was found between DNA unwinding and topoisomerase II catalytic inhibition. Neither agent enhanced topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage in vitro; however, both compound 1 and compound 2 antagonized breaks induced by etoposide and amsacrine. Experiments indicate that interference with etoposide-stimulated breaks results from inhibition of topoisomerase II * DNA binding by compound 1. These findings suggest that compound 1 and its derivatives may represent a novel structural class of topoisomerase II catalytic inhibitors.

Abstract
Analogs of 4'O-demethylepipodophyllotoxin are considered as potential anticancer agents. We have applied comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and a novel CoMFA/q2-GRS technique recently developed in our group to identify the essential structural requirements for increasing the ability of these compounds to form cellular protein-DNA complex. In addition, a new method to incorporate different types of probe atoms as part of q2-GRS routine has been developed. The best final model with 101 compounds using a combination of four different sets of probe atoms and charges [C (sp3, +1), C (sp3, 0), H (+1), and O (sp3, -1)] yielded a q 2 of 0.584 and the standard error of prediction of 0.660 at 5 principal components. The steric and electrostatic contour plots of the final model were compared with the DNA phosphate backbone environment of the DNA-4'O-demethylepipodophylltoxin analog complex, which was generated using the X-ray structure of the DNA-nogalamycin complex. The comparison reveals that the CoMFA steric and electrostatic fields are compatible with stereochemical properties of the DNA backbone. The results obtained from this study shall guide our future synthetic efforts.
