Activity-guided isolation and identification of antiherpesvirus and antineuroinflammatory active terpenoids from Artemisia vulgaris L. based on the LC-MS/MS molecular network. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2023; 216:113863. [PMID: 37751824 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2023.113863] [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: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Seven undescribed terpenoids, comprising two guaiane-type sesquiterpene lactones (1-2), one eucalyptol-type sesquiterpene (3), one monolactone (4), and three triterpenoids (5-7), along with 35 known analogues, were isolated from the leaves of Artemisia vulgaris L. Their structures and configurations were analysed by extensive spectroscopy. Compounds 1, 2, 8-10, 13, 17, 19, and 28 showed antineuroinflammatory activity, and compounds 1 and 2 revealed remarkable antineuroinflammatory effects, with an IC50 value of 2.2 ± 0.1 and 1.6 ± 0.1 μM, more potent than the positive control drug dexamethasone. Furthermore, compounds 1 and 2 could inhibit the expression of BV-2 inflammatory genes (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β) induced by LPS, downregulate the critical inflammatory protein production of iNOS and COX-2. The anti-HSV-1 activity screening revealed that compounds 28, 29 and 38 exhibited inhibitory activity against HSV-1 proliferation. Particularly, compound 28 exhibited a significant anti-HSV-1 effect, inhibiting the proliferation of HSV-1 and acyclovir-resistant strains of HSV-1/153 and HSV-1/Blue. Our research identified compounds 1, 2, and 28 from A. vulgaris., which could potentially serve as lead compounds for antineuroinflammatory and anti-HSV-1 activities.

Maekawa inhibits neuroinflammation via NF-κB Signaling pathway. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 84:153508. [PMID: 33639593 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2021.153508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 01/29/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence indicates the important role of herbal medicine for neuroinflammation, which is closely associated with neurodegenerative diseases. OBJECTIVE To clarify the characteristics and primary mechanisms of action of the traditional herbal medicine Daphne kiusiana var. atrocaulis (Rehd.) F. Maekawa in neuroinflammation by phytochemistry and bioassays using both in vitro and in vivo assays. METHODS The chemical composition of D. kiusiana var. atrocaulis was clarified using multiple chromatography technologies and spectroscopic analysis. The anti-neuroinflammatory effects of the identified components were evaluated in LPS-induced BV-2 cells by monitoring the production of nitric oxide. C57BL/6 mice were used to construct a neuroinflammatory model by injecting LPS into the lateral ventricle of the brain. The most promising component was evaluated in vivo by measuring the number of Iba-1 cells and expression of inflammatory factors. Furthermore, the anti-neuroinflammatory mechanism involved in the activation of the NF-κB pathway was investigated using western blot and immunofluorescence. RESULTS Thirty-two constituents (1-32), including five new compounds, were successfully identified from D. kiusiana var. atrocaulis. Compounds 3, 5, 12-15, and 20 (IC50 values from 5.41 to 57.27 μM) could considerably inhibit the LPS-induced production of NO in BV-2 cells, displaying stronger anti-neuroinflammatory activities than that of minocycline (IC50 = 67.08 μM). The concentration of the most potential compound 13 (IC50 5.41 μM) was 5.4% of the ethyl acetate fraction. Acutissimalignan B (13) could reduce the mRNA expression of iNOs, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, inhibit the phosphorylation of IκBα, and inhibit the nuclear translocation of NK-κB p65 in BV-2 cells induced by LPS. Moreover, in the LPS-induced mouse model, compound 13 was found to exert anti-neuroinflammatory activity by attenuating the activation of microglia in the cortex and hippocampus, repressing the phosphorylation of IκBα, inhibiting the nuclear translocation of NK-κB p65, and decreasing the mRNA expression of iNOs, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the cortex. CONCLUSION We found that D. kiusiana var. atrocaulis had an inhibitory activity on neuroinflammation. In addition, the main active component (-)-acutissimalignan B (13) showed anti-neuroinflammatory effects in both in vivo and in vitro assays. Its mechanism of action may be associated with the inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Our current findings provide new information on D. kiusiana var. atrocaulis in the treatment of neuroinflammation.

Abstract
In our preliminary screening study on the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory and cytotoxic activities, an ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the aerial part of Orthosiphon stamineus Benth. was found to inhibit PTP1B activity. Thus, based on assay-guided isolation of this active fraction, ten compounds (1-10) were purified and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on PTP1B and their growth inhibition on MCF7, tamoxifen-resistant MCF7 (MCF7/TAMR), and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines. Among the isolates, compounds 5, 6, 9, and 10 showed potencies against PTP1B with IC50 values of 9.76, 10.12, 6.88, and 8.92 μM, respectively, followed by compounds 1 and 4 with IC50 values of 16.92 and 22.25 μM. Kinetic study showed that the active compounds (1, 5, 9, and 10) possessed mixed-competitive inhibition, which was similar to the positive control (ursolic acid, IC50 value of 3.42 μM, mixed-competitive). The others showed noncompetitive inhibition (4 and 6). In addition, all these active compounds (1, 4-6, and 9-10) displayed growth inhibition on three cancer cell lines, especially the most PTP1B inhibitory flavanones (9 and 10) exhibited comparable inhibitory effects on MCF7, MCF7/TAMR, and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells (IC50 values of 11.5 and 15.4, 8.9 and 10.5, and 17.6 and 21.3 μM, respectively) with tamoxifen, the positive control used in this assay (IC50 values of 11.9, 12.1, and 12.7 μM, respectively). The results suggest that these active constituents from O. stamineus might be considered as new natural compounds for the development of anticancer agents via PTP1B inhibition.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most devastating human cancers, and despite the significant advances in the current therapeutic options, the overall survival rate for PC has remained static for the past 50 years. Plant-derived bioactive compounds play a vital role in cancer therapeutics by providing new lead compounds for future drug development. Therefore, the isolation, characterization, and identification of new bioactive compounds for the prevention and treatment of cancer continue to be an important aspect of natural product research. Many in vitro and in vivo studies published in the last few decades have established strong links between the phytochemical profile of eucalypts and anticancer activity. However, only a small number of these reports have attempted to demonstrate a relationship between the biological activity of eucalypt extracts and PC. This review focuses on potential anti-PC effects of an array of bioactive compounds present in various species of eucalypts. It also highlights the necessity for further in vitro and in vivo studies to develop a complete understanding of the potential this group of plants has for the development of potent and specific chemotherapeutic drugs for PC.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of the ethanolic extracts of the dried leaves of Bergenia purpurascens led to the isolation and identification of a new aromatic glycoside, 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2-methoxy-3-hydroxyl-phenylethene (1), along with other 19 known compounds (2-20). The structure of compound 1 was determined by a detailed analysis using various analytical techniques, including 1D and 2D NMR. In vitro anti-proliferative activities of compound 1 on five human cancer cell lines were evaluated. The results showed that compound 1 possessed the most potent effects with the IC50 values of 14.36 ± 1.04 μM against T24 cells. The further bioactivity analysis showed that compound 1 induced apoptosis of T24 cells, and altered anti- and pro-apoptotic proteins, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of caspase-3 for causing cell apoptosis. The present investigation illustrated compound 1 might be used as a potential antitumour chemotherapy candidate.

Abstract
Three new lupane-triterpenoids (1-3) along with six known compounds (4-9) were isolated from the ethanolic extract of whole plant of Potentilla discolor Bunge. The structures of Compounds 1-3 were established by extensive 1D and 2D NMR together with other spectrum analysis, indicating that their C-27 positions were highly oxygenated, which were rarely found in nature. Their in vitro anti-proliferative activities against HepG-2, MCF-7 and T-84 cell lines were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and the results showed different activities for three cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 17.84 to 40.64 μM. In addition, the results from Hoechst 33258 and AO/EB staining as well as annexinV-FITC assays exhibited Compound 1 caused a markedly increased HepG-2 cellular apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The further mechanisms of Compound 1-induced cellular apoptosis were confirmed that 1 induced the production of ROS and the alteration of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins, which led to the dysfunction of mitochondria and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 and finally caused cellular apoptosis. These results would be useful in search for new potential antitumor agents and for developing semisynthetic lupane-triterpenoid derivatives with high antitumor activity.

Abstract
Biotransformation of daidzein, genistein and biochanin A by three selected filamentous fungi was investigated. As a result of biotransformations, six glycosylation products were obtained. Fungus Beauveria bassiana converted all tested isoflavones to 4″-O-methyl-7-O-glucosyl derivatives, whereas Absidia coerulea and Absidia glauca were able to transform genistein and biochanin A to genistin and sissotrin, respectively. In the culture of Absidia coerulea, in addition to the sissotrin, the product of glucosylation at position 5 was formed. Two of the obtained compounds have not been published so far: 4″-O-methyl-7-O-glucosyl biochanin A and 5-O-glucosyl biochanin A (isosissotrin). Biotransformation products were obtained with 22%–40% isolated yield.
