Zhang N, Xu W, Yan Y, Chen M, Li H, Chen L. Cembrane diterpenoids: Chemistry and pharmacological activities. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2023; 212:113703. [PMID: 37164145 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2023.113703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Cembrane diterpenoids (cembranoids), characterized by a 14-membered carbon ring and wide variety of functional groups, found in marine and terrestrial organisms. Many studies have shown that cembrane diterpenoids have cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities and are widely used in the development of new drugs. This review covered publications from 2011 to 2022 and classified the cembrane-type diterpenoids into isopropyl (ene) type, γ-lactone or unsaturated five-membered ring, δ-lactone or unsaturated six-membered ring, ε-lactone or unsaturated seven-membered ring, and other cembrane diterpenes. In addition, the biological activity and structure-activity relationship were summarized. This will provide guidance for new cembrane-type diterpenes as lead compounds to explore their potential application for treating cancer and inflammatory diseases.

Liu J, Gu YC, Su MZ, Guo YW. Chemistry and bioactivity of secondary metabolites from South China Sea marine fauna and flora: recent research advances and perspective. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2022; 43:3062-3079. [PMID: 36104434 PMCID: PMC9712606 DOI: 10.1038/s41401-022-00980-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Marine organisms often produce a variety of metabolites with unique structures and diverse biological activities that enable them to survive and struggle in the extremely challenging environment. During the last two decades, our group devoted great effort to the discovery of pharmaceutically interesting lead compounds from South China Sea marine plants and invertebrates. We discovered numerous marine secondary metabolites spanning a wide range of structural classes, various biosynthetic origins and various aspects of biological activities. In a series of reviews, we have summarized the bioactive natural products isolated from Chinese marine flora and fauna found during 2000-2012. The present review provides an updated summary covering our latest research progress and development in the last decade (2012-2022) highlighting the discovery of over 400 novel marine secondary metabolites with promising bioactivities from South China Sea marine organisms.
