Sesquiterpene Lactones and Flavonoids from Psephellus pyrrhoblepharus with Antiproliferative Activity on Human Gynecological Cancer Cell Lines.

ABSTRACT: Multistep chromatographic separations of the chloroform extract of the Turkish endemic plant Psephellus pyrrhoblepharus (Boiss.) Wagenitz (syn. Centaurea pyrrhoblephara Boiss.) resulted in the isolation of six guaianolid-type sesquiterpenes, chlorojanerin (1), 19-deoxychlorojanerin (2), 15-hydroxyjanerin (3), aguerin B (4), cynaropicrin (5), eleganin (6); three flavonoids, apigenin, 6-methoxyluteolin and jaceosidine; two glycosides, benzyl-1-O-?-d-glucoside and 3(Z)-hexenyl-1-O-?-d-glucoside; and the coumarin scopoletin. The structures were established by the interpretation of their ESI-MS and 1D and 2D NMR data including 1H-NMR, JMOD, 1H,1H-COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY experiments. All compounds were isolated for the first time from P. pyrrhoblepharus. Compounds 1-6, the isolated flavonoids and scopoletin were evaluated for their antiproliferative activities on human gynecological cancer cell lines (SiHa, HeLa, and MDA-MB-231 cells) using the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Chlorojanerin (1), 19-deoxychlorojanerin (2), aguerin B (4), cynaropicrin (5), eleganin (6) were shown to have noteworthy effects on all of the tested cell lines, while apigenin, jaceosidine, and 6-methoxyluteolin were moderately active on HeLa cells. The highest activities were demonstrated by the chlorine-containing derivatives chlorojanerin (1) and 19-deoxychlorojanerin (2) with IC50 values of 2.21 and 2.88 µM, respectively, against the triple negative breast cancer model MDA-MB-231 cells.

Project description:The roots of Eurycoma longifolia Jack have traditionally been used as an aphrodisiac tonic besides the other remedies for boils, fever, bleeding gums, and wound ulcer. Recently, the antiproliferative activity of E. longifolia has been reported and remained attractive to natural chemists.The objective of this study was to study on antiproliferative compounds from the root of E. longifolia.Column chromatography was used to separate individual compounds, spectroscopic data including nuclear magnetic resonances and mass spectrometry were analyzed to determine the chemical structure of the isolates and for biological testing, antiproliferative activity of compounds was tested on seven human cancer cell lines (KATO III, HCT-15, Colo205, HepG2, PC-3, Jurkat, HL-60) by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method.Nine quassinoids including a new C19 longilactone-type quassinoid glycoside were characterized from the roots of the title plant. Among them, the major quassinoid eurycomanone exhibited selectively potential antiproliferative activities on the leukemia cell lines (HL-60 and Jurkat) and had very low toxic effects on normal skin fibroblast cell line (NB1RGB).The current study reveals one new quassinoid glycoside and the potential active component (eurycomanone) from E. longifolia for the leukemia treatment.Nine quassinoids (1-9) including one new quassinoid glycoside (9) and eight known ones were isolated from the roots of Eurycoma longifoliaThe structure of the new quassinoid 9 was determined by extensive chemical and spectroscopic analysesThe major quassinoid, eurycomanone (3), exhibited selectively potential antiproliferative activities on both Jurkat and HL-60 leukemia cells and had very low toxic effects on normal skin fibroblast cell line (NB1RGB).
