(±)-Japonones A and B, two pairs of new enantiomers with anti-KSHV activities from Hypericum japonicum.

ABSTRACT: Two pairs of new enantiomers with unusual 5,5-spiroketal cores, termed (±)-japonones A and B [(±)-1 and (±)-2], were obtained from Hypericum japonicum Thunb. The absolute configurations of (±)-1 and (±)-2 were characterized by extensive analyses of spectroscopic data and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, the application of modified Mosher's methods, and the assistance of quantum chemical predictions (QCP) of (13)C NMR chemical shifts. Among these metabolites, (+)-1 exhibited some inhibitory activity on Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV). Virtual screening of (±)-1 and (±)-2 were conducted using the Surflex-Dock module in the Sybyl software, and (+)-1 exhibited ability to bind with ERK to form key interactions with residues Lys52, Pro56, Ile101, Asp165, Gly167 and Val99.

Two New Bioactive ?-Pyrones from Hypericum japonicum.

Project description:Hypericum japonicum (Guttiferae), a type of annual or perennial herb, has been historically applied to cure infectious hepatitis, acute and chronic hepatitis, gastrointestinal disorder, and internal hemorrhage. In our successive studies on the genus Hypericum, two new ?-pyrones termed japopyrones A and B (1 and 2) were isolated from H. japonicum. Their structures and absolute configurations were established by the comprehensive analyses of spectroscopic data, the application of the Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structural analysis, and the experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Bioactivity screenings suggested that compound 2 possessed the potential inhibition efficacy on lytic replication of Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) with an IC50 29.46 ?M and a selective index of higher than 6.79, respectively.

Biological activities of ?-pinene and ?-pinene enantiomers.

Project description:The antimicrobial activities of the isomers and enantiomers of pinene were evaluated against bacterial and fungal cells. The agar diffusion test showed that only the positive enantiomers of the ?- and ?-isomers of pinene were active. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal microbicidal concentration (MMC) of these monoterpenes were also determined, confirming that the positive enantiomers exhibited microbicidal activity against all fungi and bacteria tested with MICs ranging from 117 to 4,150 ?g/mL. However, no antimicrobial activity was detected with the negative enantiomers up to 20 mg/mL. Time-kill curves showed that (+)-?-pinene and (+)-?-pinene were highly toxic to Candida albicans, killing 100% of inoculum within 60 min. By contrast, the bactericidal effect occurred after 6 h in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In combination with commercial antimicrobials, ciprofloxacin plus (+)-?-pinene or (+)-?-pinene presented synergistic activity against MRSA whereas an indifferent effect against all fungi was detected when amphotericin B was combined with the positive enantiomers of pinene. The potential of (+)-?-pinene and (+)-?-pinene to inhibit phospholipase and esterase activities was also evaluated, and the best inhibition results were obtained with Cryptococcus neoformans. C. albicans biofilm formation was prevented with the MIC concentration of (+)-?-pinene and twice the MIC value of (+)-?-pinene. Finally, the cytotoxicity of the positive enantiomers of pinene to murine macrophages was evaluated, and 250 ?g/mL of (+)-?-pinene and (+)-?-pinene reduced the cell viability to 66.8% and 57.7%, respectively.

Three Pairs of New Spirocyclic Alkaloid Enantiomers From the Marine-Derived Fungus <i>Eurotium</i> sp. SCSIO F452.

Project description:Three pairs of new spirocyclic alkaloid enantiomers eurotinoids A-C (1-3), as well as a known biogenetically related racemate dihydrocryptoechinulin D (4) were isolated from a marine-derived fungus Eurotium sp. SCSIO F452. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the first two "meta" products from a non-stereoselective [4 + 2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition presumably between an enone group of a diketopiperazine alkaloid and a diene group of a benzaldehyde derivative via a new head-to-tail coupling mode biosynthetically, while 3 and 4 were "ortho" products. Their enantiomers exhibited different antioxidative and cytotoxic activities. The modes of action were investigated by a preliminary molecular docking study.

Three pairs of alkaloid enantiomers from the root of Isatis indigotica.

Project description:Three pairs of enantiomerically pure alkaloids with diverse structure features, named isatindigoticoic acid A and epiisatindigoticoic acid A [(-)-1 and (+)-1], phaitanthrin A and epiphaitanthrin A [(-)-2 and (+)-2], and isatindopyrromizol A and epiisatindopyrromizol A [(-)-3 and (+)-3], respectively, were isolated from an aqueous extract of the roots of Isatis indigotica. Racemic and scalemic mixtures of these enantiomers were separated by HPLC on a chiral semi-preparative column. Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis in conjunction with the calculation of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The enantiomer pairs possess parent structures of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid, indolo[2,1-b]quinazolinone, and 3-thioxohexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-1-one, respectively. Except for phaitanthrin A [(-)-2] which the configuration was previously undetermined, these compounds are new enantiomeric natural products.

Two New 3,4;9,10-seco-Cycloartane Type Triterpenoids from Illicium difengpi and Their Anti-Inflammatory Activities.

Project description:A pair of new 3,4;9,10-seco-cycloartane type triterpenoid stereoisomerides: 24R,25-dihydroxy-3,4;9,10-seco-4(28)-cycloarten-10,3-olide (1) named Illiciumolide A and 24S,25-dihydroxy-3,4;9,10-seco-4(28)-cycloarten-10,3-olide (2) named Illiciumolide B were isolated from the stem bark of Illicium difengpi, as well as five known biogenetically related triterpenoids, including sootepin E (3), betulinic acid (4), lupeol (5), (all-Z)-1,5,9,13,17,21-hexamethyl-1,5,9,13,17,21-cyclotertracosahexaene (6), and (all-E)-2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyl-2,6,10,14,18,22-tetracosahexaene (7). The structures of two new compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis including 1D-, 2D-NMR, and MS techniques. Two assays were conducted: inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) and inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) in RAW264. 7 cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It was observed that compounds 1, 2 and 7 showed significant inhibition of TNF-? production and NF-?B release. The molecule docking results showed that compounds 1 and 2 got high fitness scores with dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MPKK1), whose activation plays a pivotal role between TNF-? and activation of NF-?B. The anti-HIV-1 potency of compounds 1-5 was also discussed, in addition to the results of computer-aided screening for targets.

New target genes controlled by the Bradyrhizobium japonicum two-component regulatory system RegSR.

Project description:RegSR-like proteins, members of the family of two-component regulatory systems, are present in a large number of proteobacteria in which they globally control gene expression mostly in a redox-responsive manner. The controlled target genes feature an enormous functional diversity. In Bradyrhizobium japonicum, the facultative root nodule symbiont of soybean, RegSR activate the transcription of the nitrogen fixation regulatory gene nifA, thus forming a RegSR-NifA cascade which is part of a complex regulatory network for gene regulation in response to changing oxygen concentrations. Whole-genome transcription profiling was performed here in order to assess the full regulatory scope of RegSR. The comparative analysis of wild-type and delta regR cells grown under oxic and microoxic conditions revealed that expression of almost 250 genes is dependent on RegR, a result that underscores the important contribution of RegR to oxygen- or redox-regulated gene expression in B. japonicum. Furthermore, transcription profiling of delta regR bacteroids compared with wild-type bacteroids revealed expression changes for about 1,200 genes in young and mature bacteroids. Incidentally, many of these were found to be induced in symbiosis when wild-type bacteroids were compared with free-living, culture-grown wild-type cells, and they appeared to encode diverse functions possibly related to symbiosis and nitrogen fixation. We demonstrated direct RegR-mediated control at promoter regions of several selected target genes by means of DNA binding experiments and in vitro transcription assays, which revealed six novel direct RegR target promoters.
