[PMID: 37774436 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106836] [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: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
Alzheimer's diseases (AD) and other infectious diseases caused by drug-resistance bacteria have posed a serious threat to human lives and global health. With the aim to search for human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibitors and antibacterial agents from medicinal plants, 16 phloroglucinol oligomers, including two new phloroglucinol monomers (1a and 1b), four new phloroglucinol dimers (3a, 3b, 4b, and 5a), six new phloroglucinol trimers (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, and 8b), and two naturally occurring phloroglucinol monomers (2a and 2b), along with two known congeners (4a and 5b), were purified from the leaves of tropic Rhodomyrtus tomentosa. The structures and absolute configurations of these new isolates were unequivocally established by comprehensive analyses of their spectroscopic data (NMR and HRESIMS), ECD calculation, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Structurally, 3a/3b shared a rare C-5' formyl group, whereas 6a/6b possessed a unique C-7' aromatic ring. In addition, 7a/7b and 8a/8b were rare phloroglucinol trimers with a bis-furan and a C-6' hemiketal group. Pharmacologically, the mixture of 3a and 3b showed the most potent human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 1.21 ± 0.16 μM. The molecular docking studies of 3a and 3b in the hAChE binding sites were performed, displaying good agreement with the in vitro inhibitory effects. In addition, the mixture of 3a and 3b displayed the most significant anti-MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) with MIC and MBC values of both 0.50 μg/mL, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies revealed that they could destroy the biofilm structures of MRSA. The findings provide potential candidates for the further development of anti-AD and anti-bacterial agents.

Abstract
As part of our project on exploring Indonesian medicinal plants for antidiabetic and anticancer agents, this study was conducted to investigate the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant, cytotoxic and antidiabetic properties of R. tomentosa leaf extracts. The antioxidant activity was tested using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP methods. In vitro cytotoxic assay was performed against MCF-7, HeLa, A549, and B16 cancer cell lines. The in vitro antidiabetic testing was determined using α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory evaluation, while STZ-induced diabetic rats were used for in vivo study. The highest values of total phenolic (191.97 ± 0.19 mg GAE g−1) and flavonoid (29.11 ± 0.05 mg QE g−1) contents were recorded in methanolic extract. This extract also showed the highest DPPH and ABTS activities with IC50 values of 7.79 ± 0.03 and 4.03 ± 0.02 μg mL−1, respectively, as well as the highest FRAP activity with a value of 64.05 ± 0.54 μM Fe2+ g−1. The methanol extract had cytotoxicity against MCF-7, HeLa, A549, and B16 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 123.49 ± 0.79, 28.28 ± 0.17, 168.88 ± 1.14, and 42.44 ± 0.18 μg mL−1, respectively. In vitro antidiabetic evaluation indicated that the MeOH extract inhibited α-glucosidase and α-amylase with IC50 values of 45.73 ± 1.06 and 41.31 ± 1.12 μg mL−1, respectively. A dose of 400 mg kg−1 body weight of the MeOH extract reduced rats' blood glucose rate and serum blood glucose by 48.51% and 17.73%, respectively after 15 days of treatment. Taken together, these findings suggested that the methanolic extract of R. tomentosa leaves can be used as a potential source of antioxidant, cytotoxic, and antidiabetic agents. As part of our project on exploring Indonesian medicinal plants for antidiabetic and anticancer agents, this study was conducted to investigate the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant, cytotoxic and antidiabetic properties of R. tomentosa leaf extracts.![]()

Abstract
Undescribed phloroglucinol derivatives, rhotomensones A-G, and a known derivative rhodomyrtosone B, were isolated from the leaves of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa. Rhotomensones A-D and G have unreported structural characteristics, in which rhotomensone A substitutes a benzene ring, rhotomensones B-D are bonded with a 2-methylbutanoyl group, and rhotomensone G has two fewer carbons. The structures of these compounds were determined by NMR spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase of rhotomensones E and F were evaluated in vitro, with IC50 values of 0.50 ± 0.14 mg/mL and 0.07 ± 0.02 mg/mL. Moreover, rhodomyrtosone B showed significant antibacterial activity against some bacteria, with MIC values ranging from 0.50 to 16.00 μg/mL.

Abstract
Rhodomyrtone, a plant-derived principal compound isolated from Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Myrtaceae) leaf extract, was assessed as a potential natural alternative for the treatment of acne vulgaris. The clinical efficacy of a 1% liposomal encapsulated rhodomyrtone serum was compared with a marketed 1% clindamycin gel. In a randomized and double-blind controlled clinical trial, 60 volunteers with mild to moderate acne severity were assigned to two groups: rhodomyrtone serum and clindamycin gel. The volunteers were instructed to apply the samples to acne lesions on their faces twice daily. A significant reduction in the total numbers of acne lesions was demonstrated in both treatment groups between week 2 and 8 (p < 0.05). Significant differences in acne numbers compared with the baseline were evidenced at week 2 onwards (p < 0.05). At the end of the clinical trial, the total inflamed acne counts in the 1% rhodomyrtone serum group were significantly reduced by 36.36%, comparable to 34.70% in the clindamycin-treated group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, a commercial prototype was developed, and a clinical assessment of 45 volunteers was performed. After application of the commercial prototype for 1 week, 68.89% and 28.89% of volunteers demonstrated complete and improved inflammatory acne, respectively. All of the subjects presented no signs of irritation or side effects during the treatment. Most of the volunteers (71.11%) indicated that they were very satisfied. Rhodomyrtone serum was demonstrated to be effective and safe for the treatment of inflammatory acne lesions.

Abstract
Consumer concerns toward chemical preservatives have resulted in increased search for healthy green alternative. In this study, the antioxidant activity and antibacterial effects of Eucalyptus camaldulensis ethanolic leaf extract against Listeria monocytogenes, a serious foodborne pathogen, was evaluated. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extract were 11.10 mg garlic acid equivalent/mg extract and 15.05 mg quercetin equivalent/mg extract, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration of the extract was 64-128 μg/mL and 256-512 μg/mL, respectively. Time-kill assay revealed growth inhibitory effects after 4-h treatment of the bacteria with the extract. A reduction of ≈2-3 log colony-forming units per milliliter was observed against the tested food and environmental isolates after challenging the pathogens with the extract at MIC for 6 h. Sub-MICs of the extract significantly inhibited motility and listeriolysin O production up to 80%, with 60% inhibition of biofilm formation (p < 0.05). Antioxidant assay revealed free radical scavenging activity with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 57.07 μg/mL for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 29.01 μg/mL for ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] assay. Ferric reducing antioxidant power assay further showed a total antioxidant power equivalent to 92.93 μM ascorbic acid equivalent/mg extract. As the extract exhibited profound antilisterial activity and good radical scavenging ability, it might serve as a potential alternative source of biopreservative agent against L. monocytogenes.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers were prepared from Rhodomyrtus tomentosa extract and poly(vinyl alcohol). The antimicrobial effect was assessed against two Gram-negative bacterial strains ( Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and two Gram-positive bacterial strains ( Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis) by paper disc diffusion method. Ethyl acetate extract of R. tomentosa was selected for fabrication of nanofibers because it shows the most active antimicrobial activity with zone of inhibition ranging from 9.33 ± 0.21 to 13.67 ± 0.32 mm. The presence of high abundance of myricetin and rhodomyrtone might contribute to the antibiotic activity against all tested bacterial strains. The average diameter of the R. tomentosa extract/poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers increased from 120.4 to 214.8 nm with increasing concentration of R. tomentosa extract from 0.5% to 2.5%. The antimicrobial activity of R. tomentosa extract/poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers was relatively higher at concentration of the extract (1.5% and 2.5%) against all test organisms with a clear zone of inhibition 7–12 mm. The results demonstrated that R. tomentosa extract/poly(vinyl alcohol) electrospun nanofibers are an interesting platform for delivery of bioactive compounds as wound dressing or other strategies for combating bacterial infections.

Abstract
Seven undescribed phloroglucinol derivatives, tomentodiones N-T, and eleven known ones were isolated from Rhodomyrtus tomentosa. Tomentodione N is the first example of a β-triketone unit coupled with an isoamyl alcohol through a furan fused-ring, and tomentodiones N, S, T were three racemates. The undescribed structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic, X-ray diffraction, electronic circular dichroism calculation, and chemical methods. In addition, the isolated compounds were determined for the cytotoxic activities on HeLa cells and anti-inflammatory activities in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells.

Abstract
Phytochemical study on the leaves of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa resulted in the isolation of fourteen compounds including a new acylphloroglucinol, named tomentosone C (1), and a new flavonol glycoside, namely myricetin-3,7,3'-trimethyl ether-5'-O-β-glucopyranoside (2). Their structures were characterized by spectral data interpretation for new structures and in comparison with published data for known compounds. The antimicrobial activity evaluation revealed that 1 and the known acylphloroglucinol rhodomyrtone (3) exhibited significant antimicrobial activity with MIC 3.66 and 1.83 μg ml(-1), respectively, toward Staphylococcus aureus, responsible for the antimicrobial activity observed with the n-hexane and EtOAc-soluble fraction of the ethanol extract of R. tomentosa leaves.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The adherence of oral pathogenic microorganisms to host tissues is the initial step for successful process of oral diseases. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf extract and rhodomyrtone, an antibacterial compound from R. tomentosa leaf, on adhesion of some oral pathogens to polystyrene plastic surface and human buccal epithelial cells. METHODS The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was evaluated using broth microdilution method. The microbial adhesion to the plastic surface and buccal cells was determined using microtiter plate method and microscopy technique. RESULTS The ethanol extract of leaf demonstrated antibacterial activity against oral microorganisms including Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Streptococcus mutans (clinical isolate), and Candida albicans ATCC 90028 with the MIC values of 31.25, 15.62, and 1000μg/ml, respectively. Rhodomyrtone displayed activity with the MIC values of 0.78 and 0.39μg/ml against S. aureus ATCC 25923 and S. mutans, respectively. The MIC value of the compound against C. albicans ATCC 90028 was more than 100μg/ml which was the highest test concentration. All pathogenic microorganisms treated with the extract and rhodomyrtone at their subinhibitory concentrations resulted in a decrease in their adherence ability to both plastic surface and buccal cells. CONCLUSION It is suggested that R. tomentosa extract and rhodomyrtone may be useful in therapy or as prophylaxis in infections involving oral pathogens.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk. is a representative Thai medicinal plant traditionally used in South Asian countries to relieve various inflammatory symptoms. However, no systematic studies on its anti-inflammatory activity and mechanisms have been reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effect of the methanol extract from the leaves of this plant (Rt-ME) on the production of inflammatory mediators [nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)] and the molecular mechanism of Rt-ME-mediated inhibition, including target enzymes, were studied with RAW264.7, peritoneal macrophage, and HEK293 cells. Additionally, the in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of this extract was evaluated with mouse gastritis and colitis models. RESULTS Rt-ME clearly inhibited the production of NO and PGE2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 cells and peritoneal macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. According to RT-PCR, immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation analyses and a kinase assay with mRNA, whole cell extract, and nucleus lysates from RAW264.7 cells and mice, it was revealed that Rt-ME was capable of suppressing the activation of both nuclear factor (NF)-κB and activator protein (AP)-1 pathways by directly targeting Syk/Src and IRAK1/IRAK4. CONCLUSION Rt-ME could have anti-inflammatory properties by suppressing Syk/Src/NF-kB and IRAK1/IRAK4/AP-1 pathways and will be further developed as a herbal remedy for preventive and/or curative purposes in various inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Myrtaceae) has been employed in traditional Thai medicine to treat colic diarrhoea, dysentery, abscesses, haemorrhage, and gynaecopathy. In addition, it has been used to formulate skin-whitening, anti-aging and skin beautifying agents. Ethnomedical activities of this plant may be due its antioxidant property. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate both in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activities of R. tomentosa leaf extract. In vitro antioxidant activity of the extract was assessed by lipid peroxidation inhibition capacity, ferric reducing antioxidant power, and metal chelating activity. R. tomentosa extract demonstrated its free radical scavenging effects in concentration dependent manner. In vivo antioxidant activity of the extract was conducted in Swiss Albino mice. Levels of thio-barbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), glutathione (GSH), and the activities of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in blood, liver, and kidney were analyzed using microtitre plate photometer. Administration of CCl4 caused significant increase in TBARS and decrease in GSH, SOD, CAT and GPx levels. In contrast, R. tomentosa extract (0.8 g/kg) effectively prevented these alterations and maintained the antioxidant status. The results suggest that R. tomentosa extract can serve as a potent antioxidant.
