Project description:Hypericum acmosepalum belongs to the Hypericum genus of the Guttiferae family. The characteristic components in Hypericum are mainly a series of polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), flavonoids, and xanthones. Among them, the PPAPs have received much attention due to their novel structures and diverse pharmacological activities and have become hot spots in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. However, there are few reports about the chemical constituents of Hypericum acmosepalum at present, especially the PPAPs. This research is dedicated to the study of the air-dried aerial parts of Hypericum acmosepalum, which were extracted with 95% EtOH under reflux, then suspended and successively partitioned with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. Five PPAP derivatives were obtained using various chromatographic techniques, and their structures were determined by NMR spectroscopic data, including two new phloroglucinol derivatives, hyperacmosin A (1) and hyperacmosin B (2). Those compounds were evaluated for their neuroprotective effect using two models.

Project description:Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has gained considerable attention as a type of carcinogenic pathogen. Recent research suggests that KSHV has participated in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma-related malignant neoplastic diseases. Viral lytic infection might be pivotal for the etiopathogenesis of KSHV-induced diseases; however, most clinical KSHV lytic replication inhibitors like ganciclovir, nelfinavir, or cidofovir do not restrain virus replication effectively enough to achieve clinical efficacy. In our continued pharmaceutical studies on Chinese herbal medicines, new acylphloroglucinol-based meroterpenoid enantiomers have been discovered from Hypericum japonicum. Most of these metabolites have potential inhibitory activities that target KSHV lytic replication. Amongst these analogues, compounds 1a and 1b possess an unreported ring system cyclopenta[b]chromene. Compounds 1a with 4a exhibit stronger inhibitory activities towards the lytic replication of KSHV in Vero cells. In addition, 1a and 4a have IC50 values of 8.30 and 4.90 μM and selectivity indexes of 23.49 and 25.70, respectively. Qualitative and quantitative SAR and molecular docking studies for acylphloroglucinol-based meroterpenoids with regard to anti-KSHV activity were conducted. An explanation for the variation in the activity and selectivity indexes was proposed in accordance with the predicted binding pose found with molecular docking to a putative target, thymidylate synthase (kTS). Compounds 1a and 4a have potential for further development and optimization of their anti-KSHV activities which could lead to new candidate drugs.

Project description:Three new compounds (1-3) with unusual skeletons were isolated from the n-hexane extract of the air-dried aerial parts of Hypericum scabrum. Compound 1 represents the first example of an esterified polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol that features a unique tricyclo-[4.3.1.11,4]-undecane skeleton. Compound 2 is a fairly simple MPAP, but with an unexpected cycloheptane ring decorated with prenyl substituents, and compound 3 has an unusual 5,5-spiroketal lactone core. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques (1D and 2D NMR, HRESI-TOFMS). Absolute configurations were established by ECD calculations, and the absolute structure of 2 was confirmed by a single crystal determination. Plausible biogenetic pathways of compounds 1-3 were also proposed. The in vitro antiprotozoal activity of the compounds against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Plasmodium falciparum and cytotoxicity against rat myoblast (L6) cells were determined. Compound 1 showed a moderate activity against T. brucei and P. falciparum, with IC50 values of 3.07 and 2.25 μM, respectively.

Project description:Platelets are an important component of the initial response to vascular endothelial injury; however, platelet dysfunction induces the acute clinical symptoms of thrombotic disorders, which trigger severe cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, ischemia, and stroke. In this study, we investigated the Dryopteris crassirhizoma's antiplatelet activity. A water extract of D.crassirhizoma (WDC) was partitioned into dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate, n-butyl alcohol, and water. Among these four fractions, the DCM fraction potently inhibited the collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner. From this fraction, five different acylphloroglucinol compounds and one flavonoid were isolated by activity-guided column chromatography. They were identified by comparing their mass, 1H-, and 13C-NMR spectral data with those reported in the literature. Quantifying the six compounds in WDC and its DCM fraction by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed that butyryl-3-methylphloroglucinol (compound 4) was the most abundant in these samples. Additionally, butyryl-3-methylphloroglucinol showed the strongest inhibitory activity in the collagen- and arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation, with inhibition ratios of 92.36% and 89.51% in the collagen and AA-induced platelet aggregation, respectively, without cytotoxicity. On the active concentrations, butyryl-3-methylphloroglucinol significantly suppressed the convulxin-induced platelet activation. Regarding the structure-activity relationships for the five acylphloroglucinol compounds, our results demonstrated that the functional butanonyl, methoxy, and hydroxy groups in butyryl-3-methylphloroglucinol play important roles in antiplatelet activity. The findings indicate that acylphloroglucinols, including butyryl-3-methylphloroglucinol from D.crassirhizom, possess an antiplatelet activity, supporting the use of this species for antiplatelet remedies.

Project description:Two new acylphloroglucinol derivatives, 13,14-didehydroxygarcicowin C (1) and 13,14-didehydroxyisoxanthochymol (2), have been isolated from the stems of Garcinia multiflora, together with seven known compounds (3?9). The structures of new compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated by MS and extensive 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic analyses. Among the isolates, 13,14-didehydroxy-isoxanthochymol (2) and sampsonione B (3) exhibited inhibition against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NF-?B activation in macrophages at 30 ?M with relative luciferase activity values (inhibitory %) of 0.75 ± 0.03 (24 ± 4%) and 0.12 ± 0.03 (88 ± 4%), respectively. Additionally, sampsonione B (3) reduced LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in murine RAW264.7 macrophages and did not induce cytotoxicity against RAW 264.7 cells after 24 h treatment. Compound 3 is worth further investigation and may be expectantly developed as an anti-inflammatory drug candidate.

Project description:Asymmetric hydrogenation routes to homologues of The Roche ester tend to be restricted to hydrogenations of itaconic acid derivatives, that is, substrates that contain a relatively unhindered, 1,1-disubstituted alkene. This is because in hydrogenations mediated by RhP2 complexes, the typical catalysts, it is difficult to obtain high conversions using the alternative substrate for the same product, the isomeric trisubstituted alkenes (D in the text). However, chemoselective modification of the identical functional groups in itaconic acid derivatives are difficult; hence, it would be favorable to use the trisubstituted alkene. Trisubstituted alkene substrates can be hydrogenated with high conversions using chiral analogs of Crabtree's catalyst of the type IrN(carbene). This paper demonstrates that such reactions are scalable (tens of grams) and can be manipulated to give optically pure homo-Roche ester chirons. Organocatalytic fluorination, chlorination, and amination of the homo-Roche building blocks was performed to demonstrate that they could easily be transformed into functionalized materials with two chiral centers and ?,?-groups that provide extensive scope for modifications. A synthesis of (S,S)- and (R,S)-?-hydroxyvaline was performed to illustrate one application of the amination product.
