Discovery of Novel Polycyclic Polyprenylated Acylphloroglucinols from the Fruits of Garcinia xanthochymus as Antitumor Agents by Suppressing the STAT3 Signaling.

ABSTRACT: Pharmacologic studies have revealed that polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) collectively exhibit a broad range of biological activities, including antineoplastic potential. Here, six new PPAPs, named garcixanthochymones F-K (3, 5, 7, 8, 11, and 15), together with nine known analogues were isolated from the fruits of Garcinia xanthochymus. Their structures were elucidated based on the spectroscopic data, including UV, HRESIMS, and NMR, and quantum chemical calculations. All the isolated PPAPs were tested for anti-proliferative activity against four human tumor cell lines, including SGC7901, A549, HepG2, and MCF-7. Most of the PPAPs possessed high anti-proliferative activity with IC₅₀ values in the range of 0.89 to 36.98 μM, and significant apoptosis was observed in MCF-7 cells exposed to compounds 2 and 5. Besides, docking results showed that compounds 2 and 5 could strongly combine with the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of STAT3 via hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction, which is one of the key oncogenes and crucial therapeutic targets. Furthermore, compounds 2 and 5 efficiently downregulated the expression of p-STAT3^Tyr705 and pivotal effector proteins involved in oncogenic signaling pathways of MCF-7 cells.

Targeting MHC Regulation Using Polycyclic Polyprenylated Acylphloroglucinols Isolated from Garcinia bancana.

Project description:Modulation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) expression using drugs has been proposed to control immunity. Phytochemical investigations on Garcinia species have allowed the isolation of bioactive compounds such as polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs). PPAPs such as guttiferone J (1), display anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory activities while garcinol (4) is a histone acetyltransferases (HAT) p300 inhibitor. This study reports on the isolation, identification and biological characterization of two other PPAPs, i.e., xanthochymol (2) and guttiferone F (3) from Garcinia bancana, sharing structural analogy with guttiferone J (1) and garcinol (4). We show that PPAPs 1-4 efficiently downregulated the expression of several MHC molecules (HLA-class I, -class II, MICA/B and HLA-E) at the surface of human primary endothelial cells upon inflammation. Mechanistically, PPAPs 1-4 reduce MHC proteins by decreasing the expression and phosphorylation of the transcription factor STAT1 involved in MHC upregulation mediated by IFN-?. Loss of STAT1 activity results from inhibition of HAT CBP/p300 activity reflected by a hypoacetylation state. The binding interactions to p300 were confirmed through molecular docking. Loss of STAT1 impairs the expression of CIITA and GATA2 but also TAP1 and Tapasin required for peptide loading and transport of MHC. Overall, we identified new PPAPs issued from Garcinia bancana with potential immunoregulatory properties.

Polyprenylated Acylphloroglucinols With Different Carbon Skeletons From the Fruits of Garcinia multiflora.

Project description:Eleven new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs, 1-11) and three new monocyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (MPAPs, 12-14), together with ten known analogues were isolated from the fruits of Garcinia multiflora. These PPAPs belong to three types including the bicyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (BPAPs), the caged PPAPs, and the complicated PPAPs. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined through HRESIMS, NMR spectroscopy data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) NMR calculations with DP4+ analyses. Moreover, compounds 2 and 7 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against three human cancer lines (MCF-7, T98, and HepG2) with IC50 values ranging from 9.81 ± 1.56 to 17.00 ± 2.75 μM.

Project description:Six new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), named hyperisampsins H-M (1-6), were isolated from the aerial parts of Hypericum sampsonii, together with five known analogs (7-11). The structures of 1-6 were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses, including HRESIMS and NMR. In addition, the absolute configurations of these new compounds were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the first examples of PPAPs possessing a unique ?-lactone ring at C-23, while 3-6 differed from normal PPAPs with an unprecedented 1,2-dioxane ring. Compounds 1-7 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against a panel of human cancer cell lines in vitro, of which 3, 4, and 6 exhibited significant cytotoxic activities with IC50 values ranging from 0.56 to 3.00??M. Moreover, compound 3 induces leukemia cell apoptotic death, evidenced by activation of caspase-3, degradation of PARP, up-regulation of Bax, and down-regulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl.

Unprecedented polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with anti-Alzheimer's activity from St. John's wort.

Project description:Hyperforones A-J (1-10), ten degraded and reconstructed polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) with six different types of unusual architectures, were isolated from Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort). Compound 1 is characterized by an unprecedented 1,5-epoxyfuro[3',4':1,5]cyclopenta[1,2-c]oxecine ring system; compounds 2 and 3 represent the first PPAPs with a contracted B-ring leading to the unique 5/5 core skeletons; compound 4, a proposed biosynthetic precursor of 2, is defined by an oxonane-2,7-dione architecture; compound 5 features an unusual spiro[furo[3',4':1,5]cyclopenta[1,2-b]oxepine-3,2'-oxetane] ring system; compounds 6-8 possess a rare macrocyclic lactone ring in addition to the newly formed C-ring; and compounds 9 and 10 contain a newly formed six-membered C-ring, which constructed the unexpected 6/6 scaffold with the B-ring. Hypothetic biosynthetic pathways to generate these scaffolds starting from the classic [3.3.1]-type PPAPs helped to elucidate their origins and validate their structural assignments. Compounds 4 and 6 simultaneously displayed notable activation of PP2A (EC50: 258.8 and 199.0 nM, respectively) and inhibition of BACE1 in cells (IC50: 136.2 and 98.6 nM, respectively), and showed better activities than the positive controls SCR1693 (a PP2A activator, EC50: 413.9 nM) and LY2811376 (a BACE1 inhibitor, IC50: 260.2 nM). Furthermore, compound 6 showed better therapeutic effects with respect to the reduction of pathological and cognitive impairments in 3 × Tg AD mice than LY2811376. Compound 6 represents the first multitargeted natural product that could activate PP2A and simultaneously inhibit BACE1, which highlights compound 6 as a promising lead compound and a versatile scaffold in AD drug development.

Polycyclic Polyprenylated Acylphloroglucinol Derivatives from Hypericum acmosepalum.

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.

Cloning capacity helps seeds of Garcinia xanthochymus counter animal predation.

Project description:Seed predators have the potential to act as agents of natural selection that influence seed traits and seed fates, which in turn affect the whole plant population dynamic. Accordingly, plants deploy a variety of mechanisms (e.g., resistance and tolerance strategies) to lessen the impact of predation on seed crop or on an individual seed. In this study, we described a novel mechanism, seed cloning strategy, in a tropical plant species in countering animal predation. By conducting field- and laboratory-based germination experiments, we found that both rodent damaged and artificially damaged seed fragments of a large-seeded tree Garcinia xanthochymus (Clusiaceae) could successfully germinate and establish as seedlings. Tissue culture experiments revealed that G. xanthochymus has no endosperm in seeds, and its seed fragments own strong capacity of differentiation and cloning. Seed damage negatively affected seedling growth and germination, but the seed germination rate was remarkably high. Our study suggests that, seed cloning capacity, adopted by the large-seeded tree G. xanthochymus may act as a novel strategy counteract for seed predation and would play a significant role in stabilizing the mutualism between plant and animals.

Anticancer Properties and Mechanism of Action of Oblongifolin C, Guttiferone K and Related Polyprenylated Acylphloroglucinols.

Project description:Polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols represent an important class of natural products found in many plants. Among them, the two related products oblongifolin C (Ob-C) and guttiferone K (Gt-K) isolated from Garcinia species (notably from edible fruits), have attracted attention due to their marked anticancer properties. The two compounds only differ by the nature of the C-6 side chain, prenyl (Gt-K) or geranyl (Ob-C) on the phloroglucinol core. Their origin, method of extraction and biological properties are presented here, with a focus on the targets and pathways implicated in their anticancer activities. Both compounds markedly reduce cancer cell proliferation in vitro, as well as tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. They are both potent inducer of tumor cell apoptosis, and regulation of autophagy flux is a hallmark of their mode of action. The distinct mechanism leading to autophagosome accumulation in cells and the implicated molecular targets are discussed. The specific role of the chaperone protein HSPA8, known to interact with Ob-C, is addressed. Molecular models of Gt-K and Ob-C bound to HSPA8 provide a structural basis to their common HSPA8-binding recognition capacity. The review shed light on the mechanism of action of these compounds, to encourage their studies and potential development.

Garcienone, a Novel Compound Involved in Allelopathic Activity of Garcinia Xanthochymus Hook.

Project description:Plants are sources of diversified allelopathic substances that can be investigated for use in eco-friendly and efficient herbicides. An aqueous methanol extract from the leaves of Garcinia xanthochymus exhibited strong inhibitory activity against barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.), foxtail fescue (Vulpia myuros (L.) C.C.), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), and cress (Lepidium sativum L.), and appears to be a promising source of allelopathic substances. Hence, bio-activity guided purification of the extract through a series of column chromatography steps yielded a novel compound assigned as garcienone ((R, E)-5-hydroxy-5-((6S, 9S)-6-methyl-9-(prop-13-en-10-yl) tetrahydrofuran-6-yl) pent-3-en-2-one). Garcienone significantly inhibited the growth of cress at a concentration of 10 μM. The concentrations resulting in 50% growth inhibition (I50) of cress roots and shoots were 120.5 and 156.3 μM, respectively. This report is the first to isolate and identify garcienone and to determine its allelopathic potential.

Acylphloroglucinols with acetylcholinesterase inhibitory effects from the fruits of Eucalyptus robusta.

Project description:Eleven new acylphloroglucinols, including six new formylated phloroglucinol-monoterpene meroterpenoids, eucalyprobusals A-F (1-6), one monomeric acylphloroglucinol, eucalyprobusone B (7), and four dimeric acylphloroglucinols, eucalyprobusones C-F (8-11) were purified from the fruits of Eucalyptus robusta. The establishment of the structures of 1-11 was achieved by a combination of NMR and HRESIMS data analyses, electron circular dichroism (ECD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 6, 8, and an inseparable mixture of 10 and 11 were found to be potent AChE inhibitors with IC50 values of 3.22 ± 0.36, 3.82 ± 0.22, and 2.55 ± 0.28 μΜ, respectively. Possible interaction sites of 6, 8, 10, and 11 with AChE were investigated by means of molecular docking studies, and the results revealed that AChE residues Asn87, Ser125, Thr83, Tyr133, Tyr124, Tyr337, and Tyr341 played crucial roles in the observed activity of the aforementioned compounds.

Biogenesis of antibacterial silver nanoparticles using the endophytic bacterium Bacillus cereus isolated from Garcinia xanthochymus.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: To synthesize the ecofriendly nanoparticles, which is viewed as an alternative to the chemical method which initiated the use of microbes like bacteria and fungi in their synthesis. METHODS: The current study uses the endophytic bacterium Bacillus cereus isolated from the Garcinia xanthochymus to synthesize the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The AgNPs were synthesized by reduction of silver nitrate solution by the endophytic bacterium after incubation for 3-5 d at room temperature. The synthesis was initially observed by colour change from pale white to brown which was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The AgNPs were further characterized using FTIR, SEM-EDX and TEM analyses. RESULTS: The synthesized nanoparticles were found to be spherical with the size in the range of 20-40 nm which showed a slight aggregation. The energy-dispersive spectra of the nanoparticle dispersion confirmed the presence of elemental silver. The AgNPs were found to have antibacterial activity against a few pathogenic bacteria like Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Klebsiella pneumoniae. CONCLUSIONS: The endophytic bacteria identified as Bacillus cereus was able to synthesize silver nanoparticles with potential antibacterial activity.
