Total Synthesis and Anti-Inflammatory Bioactivity of (-)-Majusculoic Acid and Its Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: The first total synthesis of marine natural product, (-)-majusculoic acid (1) and its seven analogs (9-15), was accomplished in three to ten steps with a yield of 3% to 28%. The strategy featured the application of the conformational controlled establishment of the trans-cyclopropane and stereochemical controlled bromo-olefination or olefination by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction. The potential anti-inflammatory activity of the eight compounds (1 and 9-15) was evaluated by determining the nitric oxide (NO) production in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse macrophages RAW264.7. (-)-Majusculoic acid (1), methyl majusculoate (9), and (1R,2R)-2-((3E,5Z)-6-bromonona-3,5-dien-1-yl)cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (12) showed significant effect with inhibition rates of 33.68%, 35.75%, and 43.01%, respectively. Moreover, they did not show cytotoxicity against RAW264.7 cells, indicating that they might be potential anti-inflammatory agents.

Design, synthesis and bioactivity investigation of tetrandrine derivatives as potential anti-cancer agents.

Project description:Twenty-four 14-sulfonamide-tetrandrine derivatives as potential anti-cancer agents were synthesized. The synthetic derivatives were investigated for their cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, PC3, WM9, HEL and K562. Initially, the IC50 values (50% inhibitory concentrations) of all of the compounds were determined. These derivatives exhibited potent, but distinct, inhibitory effects on the above-mentioned cell lines. Among them, compound 23, which was modified with a 2-naphthalenesulfonyl group at the 14-amino position, showed impressive inhibition of all five cancer cell lines, and especially of MDA-MB-231 cells with an IC50 value of 1.18 ± 0.14 μM. Further mechanism exploration showed that 23 induced potent apoptotic cell death on MDA-MB-231 cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The results revealed that 23 might be a potential anti-cancer drug candidate.

Design, synthesis, and bioactivity of ferulic acid derivatives containing an β-amino alcohol.

Project description:BackgroundPlant diseases caused by viruses and bacteria cause huge economic losses due to the lack of effective control agents. New potential pesticides can be discovered through biomimetic synthesis and structural modification of natural products. A series of ferulic acid derivatives containing an β-amino alcohol were designed and synthesized, and their biological activities were evaluated.ResultBioassays results showed that the EC50 values of compound D24 against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) was 14.5 μg/mL, which was better than that of bismerthiazol (BT, EC50 = 16.2 μg/mL) and thiodiazole copper (TC, EC50 = 44.5 μg/mL). The in vivo curative and protective activities of compound D24 against Xoo were 50.5% and 50.1%, respectively. The inactivation activities of compounds D2, D3 and D4 against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) at 500 μg/mL were 89.1, 93.7 and 89.5%, respectively, superior to ningnanmycin (93.2%) and ribavirin (73.5%). In particular, the EC50 value of compound D3 was 38.1 μg/mL, and its molecular docking results showed that compound D3 had a strong affinity for TMV-CP with a binding energy of - 7.54 kcal/mol, which was superior to that of ningnanmycin (- 6.88 kcal /mol).ConclusionsThe preliminary mechanism research results indicated that compound D3 may disrupt the three-dimensional structure of the TMV coat protein, making TMV particles unable to self-assemble, which may provide potential lead compounds for the discovery of novel plant antiviral agents.

Synthesis and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Phloroglucinol-Based Derivatives.

Project description:The natural product phloroglucinol-based derivatives representing monoacyl-, diacyl-, dimeric acyl-, alkylated monoacyl-, and the nitrogen-containing alkylated monoacylphloro- glucinols were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activities against the inflammatory mediators such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-?B). The diacylphloroglucinol compound 2 and the alkylated acylphloroglucinol compound 4 inhibited iNOS with IC50 values of 19.0 and 19.5 µM, respectively, and NF-?B with IC50 values of 34.0 and 37.5 µM, respectively. These compounds may serve as leads for the synthesis of more potent anti-inflammatory compounds for future drug discovery.

Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modelling, and Biological Evaluation of Oleanolic Acid-Arylidene Derivatives as Potential Anti-Inflammatory Agents.

Project description:IntroductionOleanolic acid, a pentacyclic triterpenic acid, is widely distributed in medicinal plants and is the most commonly studied triterpene for various biological activities, including anti-allergic, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory.MethodsThe present study was carried out to synthesize arylidene derivatives of oleanolic acid at the C-2 position by Claisen Schmidt condensation to develop more effective anti-inflammatory agents. The derivatives were screened for anti-inflammatory activity by scrutinizing NO production inhibition in RAW 264.7 cells induced by LPS and their cytotoxicity. The potential candidates were further screened for inhibition of LPS-induced interleukin (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production in RAW 264.7 cells.ResultsThe results of in vitro studies revealed that derivatives 3d, 3e, 3L, and 3o are comparable to that of the oleanolic acid on the inhibition of TNF-α and IL-6 release. However, derivative 3L was identiﬁed as the most potent inhibitor of IL-6 (77.2%) and TNF-α (75.4%) when compared to parent compound, and compounds 3a (77.18%), 3d (71.5%), and 3e (68.8%) showed potent inhibition of NO than oleanolic acid (65.22%) at 10µM. Besides, from docking score and Cyscore analysis analogs (3e, 3L, 3n) showed greater affinity towards TNF-α and IL-1β than dexamethasone.ConclusionHerein, we report a series of 15 new arylidene derivatives of oleanolic acid by Claisen Schmidt condensation reaction. All the compounds synthesized were screened for their anti-inﬂammatory activity against NO, TNF-α and IL-6. From the data, it was evident that most of the compounds exhibited better anti-inﬂammatory activity.

Design, Synthesis, and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of 12-Dehydropyxinol Derivatives.

Project description:Pyxinol skeleton is a promising framework of anti-inflammatory agents formed in the human liver from 20S-protopanaxadiol, the main active aglycone of ginsenosides. In the present study, a new series of amino acid-containing derivatives were produced from 12-dehydropyxinol, a pyxinol oxidation metabolite, and its anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using an NO inhibition assay. Interestingly, the dehydrogenation at C-12 of pyxinol derivatives improved their potency greatly. Furthermore, half of the derivatives exhibited better NO inhibitory activity than hydrocortisone sodium succinate, a glucocorticoid drug. The structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that the kinds of amino acid residues and their hydrophilicity influenced the activity to a great extent, as did R/S stereochemistry at C-24. Of the various derivatives, 5c with an N-Boc-protected phenylalanine residue showed the highest NO inhibitory activity and relatively low cytotoxicity. Moreover, derivative 5c could dose-dependently suppress iNOS, IL-1β, and TNF-α via the MAPK and NF-κB pathways, but not the GR pathway. Overall, pyxinol derivatives hold potential for application as anti-inflammatory agents.

New pentadienone oxime ester derivatives: synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity.

Project description:To develop novel anti-inflammatory agents, a series of new pentadienone oxime ester compounds were designed and synthesized. The structures were determined by IR, 1H NMR, 13 C NMR, and HRMS. All compounds have been screened for their anti-inflammatory activity by evaluating their inhibition against LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) release in RAW 264.7 cell. Among them, compound 5j was found to be one of the most potent compounds in inhibiting NO and IL-6 (IC50 values were 6.66 µM and 5.07 µM, respectively). Preliminary mechanism studies show that title compound 5j could significantly suppress expressions of nitric oxide synthase, COX-2, and NO, IL-6 through Toll-like receptor 4/mitogen-activated protein kinases/NF-κB signalling pathway. These data support further studies to assess rational design of more efficient pentadienone oxime ester derivatives with anti-inflammatory activity in the future.

Design, synthesis and bioactivity of novel glycosylthiadiazole derivatives.

Project description:A series of novel glycosylthiadiazole derivatives, namely 2-phenylamino-5-glycosyl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, were designed and synthesized by condensation between sugar aldehydes A/B and substituted thiosemicarbazide C followed by oxidative cyclization by treating with manganese dioxide. The original fungicidal activities results showed that some title compounds exhibited excellent fungicidal activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary and Pyricularia oryzae Cav, especially compounds F-5 and G-8 which displayed better fungicidal activities than the commercial fungicide chlorothalonil. At the same time, the preliminary studies based on the Elson-Morgan method indicated that many compounds exhibited some inhibitory activity toward glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlmS). The structure-activity relationships (SAR) are discussed in terms of the effects of the substituents on both the benzene and the sugar ring.

In order to develop potential glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlmS) inhibitor fungicides, forty compounds of triazole derivatives were synthesized in an efficient way, thirty nine of them were new compounds. The structures of all the compounds were confirmed by high resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS), ¹H-NMR and 13C-NMR. The fungicidal activities results based on means of mycelium growth rate method indicated that some of the compounds exhibited good fungicidal activities against P. CapasiciLeonian, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, Pyricularia oryzae Cav. and Fusarium oxysporum Schl. F.sp. vasinfectum (Atk.) Snyd. & Hans. at the concentration of 50 µg/mL, especially the inhibitory rates of compounds 1-d and 1-f were over 80%. At the same time, the preliminary studies based on the Elson-Morgan method indicated that the compounds exhibited some inhibitory activity toward glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlmS). These compounds will be further studied as potential antifungal lead compounds. The structure-activity relationships (SAR) were discussed in terms of the effects of the substituents on both the benzene and the sugar ring.

Total Synthesis and Bioactivity Mapping of Geodiamolide H.

Project description:The first total synthesis of the actin-stabilizing marine natural product geodiamolide H was achieved. Solid-phase based peptide assembly paired with scalable stereoselective syntheses of polyketide building blocks and an optimized esterification set the stage for investigating the key ring-closing metathesis. Geodiamolide H and synthetic analogues were characterized for their toxicity and for antiproliferative effects in cellulo, by characterising actin polymerization induction in vitro, and by docking on the F-actin target and property computation in silico, for a better understanding of structure-activity relationships (SAR). A non-natural analogue of geodiamolide H was discovered to be most potent in the series, suggesting significant potential for tool compound design.
