New Cytotoxic Seco-Type Triterpene and Labdane-Type Diterpenes from Nuxia oppositifolia.

ABSTRACT: Chromatographic purification of the n-hexane and dichloromethane extracts of Nuxia oppositifolia aerial parts, growing in Saudi Arabia, resulted in the isolation and characterization of three new labdane-type diterpene acids, 2?-acetoxy-labda-7-en-15-oic acid (1), 2?-acetoxy-7-oxolabda-8-en-15-oic acid (2), 2?-acetoxy-6-oxolabda-7-en-15-oic acid (3), and one new seco-triterpene, 3,4-seco olean-12-en-3,30 dioic acid (4), together with 10 known lupane, oleanane and ursane-type triterpenes, as well as the common phytosterols, ?-sitosterol and stigmasterol (5-16). Their structures have been assigned on the basis of different spectroscopic techniques including 1D and 2D NMR. Moreover, 13 of the isolated compounds were tested on the human cancer cell lines HeLa (cervical), A549 (lung) and MDA (breast), and most of the compounds showed potent cytotoxic activities in vitro.

Cytotoxic Labdane Diterpenes from Hedychium ellipticum Buch.-Ham. ex Sm.

Project description:In order to reveal the constituents and their biological activities, we carried out a phytochemical study on Hedychium ellipticum Buch.-Ham. ex Sm. (Zingiberaceae). Ten labdane diterpenoids (1-10) were isolated from the rhizomes of H. ellipticum for the first time. Their structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analyses including two-dimensional NMR and comparison with literature data. All of these compounds were evaluated for their antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and cytotoxicity against KB, MCF7, NCI-H187 and Vero cells. The result showed that compounds 1 and 7 exhibited moderate activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and compounds 4, 6 and 7 displayed remarkable cytotoxic activity. This is the first report on the presence of all compounds in H. ellipticum and the first time that their structure activity relationship has been discussed.

Dimeric labdane diterpenes: synthesis and antiproliferative effects.

Project description:Several diterpenes with the labdane skeleton show biological activity, including antiproliferative effects. Most of the research work on bioactive labdanes has been carried out on naturally occurring diterpenes and semisynthetic derivatives, but much less is known on the effects of diterpene dimers. The aim of the present work was to synthesize dimeric diterpenes from the labdane imbricatolic acid using esters, ethers and the triazole ring as linkers. Some 18 new derivatives were prepared and the compounds were evaluated for antiproliferative activity on human normal fibroblasts (MRC-5) and the following human tumor cell lines: AGS, SK-MES-1, J82 and HL-60. The diethers 8-10, differing in the number of CH₂ units in the linker, presented better antiproliferative activity with a maximum effect for the derivative 9. The best antiproliferative effect against HL-60 cells was found for compounds 3 and 17, with IC₅₀ values of 22.3 and 23.2 μM, lower than that found for the reference compound etoposide (2.23 μM). The compounds 9, 17 and 11 were the most active derivatives towards AGS cells with IC₅₀ values of 17.8, 23.4 and 26.1 μM. A free carboxylic acid function seems relevant for the effect as several of the compounds showed less antiproliferative effect after methylation.

Cytotoxicity of Triterpene Seco-Acids from Betula pubescens Buds.

Project description:The present study investigated the magnitude and mechanism of the cytotoxic effect on selected cancer cell lines of 3,4-seco-urs-4(23),20(30)-dien-3-oic acid (1), 3,4-seco-olean-4(24)-en-19-oxo-3-oic acid (2), and 3,4-seco-urs-4(23),20(30)-dien-19-ol-3-oic acid (3) isolated from downy birch (Betula pubescens) buds by carbon dioxide supercritical fluid extraction and gradient column chromatography. Cell viability in six human cancer lines exposed to these compounds was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Apoptosis was quantified by annexin V/propidium iodide staining of gastric cancer AGS and colorectal cancer DLD-1 cells. To evaluate the mechanism of apoptosis, the expression of apoptosis-related proteins was analyzed by Western blot. Compound 1 exhibited non-specific toxicity, while compounds 2 and 3 were specifically toxic to colon and stomach cancer cells. The toxicity of compounds 2 and 3 against these two cell lines was greater than for compound 1. Cleavage of caspase-8, -9, and -3 was found in AGS and DLD-1 cells treated with all three seco-acids, indicating the induction of apoptosis via extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. Therefore, triterpene seco-acids (1-3) decreased cell viability by apoptosis induction. AGS and DLD-1 cells were more susceptible to seco-acids with an oxidized C19 than normal fibroblasts. Hence, it made them a new group of triterpenes with potential anticancer activity.

Three New Cytotoxic ent-Kaurane Diterpenes from Isodon excisoides.

Project description:Three types of ent-kaurane diterpenoids were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon excisoides, including three new diterpenoids, 1α,7α,14β-trihydroxy-20-acetoxy-ent-kaur-15-one (1); 1α,7α,14β,18-tetrahydroxy-20-acetoxy-ent-kaur-15-one (2); and 1α-acetoxy-14β-hydroxy-7α,20-epoxy-ent-kaur-16-en-15-one (3); together with six known diterpenes henryin (4); kamebanin (5); reniformin C (6); kamebacetal A (7); kamebacetal B (8); and oridonin (9). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry in conjunction with published data for their analogs, as well as their fragmentation patterns. Compounds 5 and 9 were isolated from Isodon excisoides for the first time. To explore the structure-activity relationships of the isolated compounds, they were tested for their cytotoxic effects against five human cancer cell lines: HCT-116, HepG2, A2780, NCI-H1650, and BGC-823. Most of the isolated compounds showed certain cytotoxic activity against the five cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 1.09-8.53 µM. Among the tested compounds, compound 4 exhibited the strongest cytotoxic activity in the tested cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 1.31-2.07 µM. Compounds 1, 6, and 7 exhibited selective cytotoxic activity.

Labdane-Type Diterpenes, Galangalditerpenes A-C, with Melanogenesis Inhibitory Activity from the Fruit of Alpinia galanga.

Project description:In our continuing study of biologically active natural products from the fruit of Alpinia galanga (Zingiberaceae), we newly isolated three new labdane-type diterpenes, termed galangalditerpenes A-C (1-3), along with four known sesquiterpenes (4-7) and two diterpenes (8 and 9). The stereostructures of 1-3 were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic properties. The melanogenesis inhibitory activities in theophylline-stimulated murine B16 melanoma 4A5 cells of these isolates, including the new diterpenes (1-3, IC50 = 4.4, 8.6, and 4.6 ?M, respectively), were found to be more than 6-87-fold higher than that of arbutin (174 ?M), a commercially available positive control.

Labdane-type Diterpenes from Pinus eldarica Needles and Their Anti-Helicobacter pylori Activity.

Project description:Pinus eldarica is a medicinal tree used in traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of bronchial asthma and various skin diseases. As part of our ongoing search for bioactive phytochemicals with novel structures in natural products, we performed a phytochemical analysis of the methanol (MeOH) extract from P. eldarica needles collected in Iran. Phytochemical investigation of the MeOH extract, aided by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based analysis, resulted in the isolation and identification of three labdane-type diterpenes (1-3), including a new and relatively unique norlabdane-type diterpene with a peroxide moiety, eldaricoxide A (1). The chemical structures of the isolated labdane-type diterpenes were elucidated by analyzing the spectroscopic data from 1D and 2D NMR and high-resolution electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. The absolute configuration of eldaricoxide A (1) was established by employing a computational method, including electronic circular dichroism calculation and specific optical rotation. An anti-Helicobacter pylori test was conducted, where compound 3 exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity against H. pylori strain 51, inducing 72.7% inhibition (MIC50 value of 92 μM), whereas eldaricoxide A (1) exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against H. pylori strain 51, inducing 54.5% inhibition (MIC50 value of 95 μM). These findings demonstrated that the identified bioactive labdane-type diterpenes 1 and 3 can be applied in the development of novel antibiotics against H. pylori for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers.
