Five New Terpenes with Cytotoxic Activity from Pestalotiopsis sp.

ABSTRACT: Five new compounds called Pestalotis A-E (1-5), comprising three monoterpene-lactone compounds (1-3), one tetrahydrobenzofuran derivative (4), and one sesquiterpene (5), were isolated from the EtOAc extract of Pestalotiopsis sp. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by analysis of their NMR, HRMS, and ECD spectra, and the absolute configurations were established through the comparison of experimental and calculated ECD spectra. All compounds were tested for antitumor activity against SW-480, LoVo, HuH-7, and MCF-7. The results showed that compounds 2 and 4 exhibited potent antitumor activity against SW-480, LoVo, and HuH-7 cell lines. Furthermore, compound 4 was assessed against HuH-7, and the results indicated that the rate of apoptosis was dose-dependent.

New cytotoxic natural products from the marine sponge-derived fungus <i>Pestalotiopsis</i> sp. by epigenetic modification.

Project description:Four new polyketide derivatives, pestalotiopols A-D (1-4), together with seven known compounds (5-11), were isolated from a chemical-epigenetic culture of Pestalotiopsis sp. The structures and absolute configurations of the new compounds (1-4) were determined by spectroscopic analyses, Mo2-induced CD, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. All the isolated compounds (1-11) were tested for their cytotoxic activities. Among these compounds, compounds 1, 2, 6 and 7 exhibited cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 16.5-56.5 μM. The structure-activity relationships of compounds (1-11) were examined. The results indicated that both the diol system of the side chain and the aldehyde group might contribute to the cytotoxic activity. The possible biosynthetic pathways for compounds (1-4) were also postulated.

Project description:During our search for interesting bioactive secondary metabolites from mangrove actinomycetes, the strain Streptomyces sp. 219807 which produced a high elaiophylin yield of 4486 mg/L was obtained. A new elaiophylin derivative, halichoblelide D (1), along with seven known analogues 2-8 was isolated and identified from the culture broth. Their chemical structures were determined by detailed analysis of 1D and 2D NMR and HRMS data. The absolute configuration of halichoblelide D (1) was confirmed by comparing the CD spectrum with those of the reported analogues. Compounds 1-7 exhibited potent cytotoxic activities against HeLa and MCF-7 cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.19 to 2.12 ?M.

New Labdanes with Antimicrobial and Acaricidal Activity: Terpenes of Callitris and Widdringtonia (Cupressaceae).

Project description:In spite of the evidence for antimicrobial and acaricidal effects in ethnobotanical reports of Callitris and Widdringtonia, the diterpene acids from Widdringtonia have never been described and no comparison to the Australian clade sister genus Callitris has been made. The critically endangered South African Clanwilliam cedar, Widdringtonia wallichii (syn. W. cedarbergensis), of the Cederberg Mountains was once prized for its enduring fragrant timbers and an essential oil that gives an aroma comparable to better known Mediterranean cedars, predominantly comprised by widdrol, cedrol, and thujopsene. In South Africa, two other 'cedars' are known, which are called W. nodiflora and W. schwarzii, but, until now, their chemical similarity to W. wallichii has not been investigated. Much like Widdringtonia, Callitris was once prized for its termite resistant timbers and an 'earthy' essential oil, but predominantly guaiol. The current study demonstrates that the essential oils were similar across all three species of Widdringtonia and two known non-volatile diterpene acids were identified in leaves: the pimaradiene sandaracopimaric acid (1) and the labdane Z-communic acid (2) with a lower yield of the E-isomer (3). Additionally, in the leaves of the three species, the structures of five new antimicrobial labdanes were assigned: 12-hydroxy-8R,17-epoxy-isocommunic acid (4), 8S-formyl-isocommunic acid (5), 8R,17-epoxy-isocommunic acid (6), 8R-17R-epoxy-E-communic acid (7), and 8R-17-epoxy-E-communic acid (8). Australian Callitris columellaris (syn. C. glaucophylla) also produced 1 and its isomer isopimaric acid, pisiferal (9), and pisiferic acid (10) from its leaves. Callitris endlicheri (Parl.) F.M.Bailey yielded isoozic acid (11) as the only major diterpene. Diterpenes 4-6, pisiferic acid (10), spathulenol, and guaiol (12) demonstrated antimicrobial and acaricidal activity.

A great barrier reef Sinularia sp. yields two new cytotoxic diterpenes.

Project description:The methanol extract of a Sinularia sp., collected from Bowden Reef, Queensland, Australia, yielded ten natural products. These included the new nitrogenous diterpene (4R*,5R*,9S*,10R*,11Z)-4-methoxy-9-((dimethylamino)-methyl)-12,15-epoxy-11(13)-en-decahydronaphthalen-16-ol (1), and the new lobane, (1R*,2R*,4S*,15E)-loba-8,10,13(14),15(16)-tetraen-17,18-diol-17-acetate (2). Also isolated were two known cembranes, sarcophytol-B and (1E,3E,7E)-11,12-epoxycembratrien-15-ol, and six known lobanes, loba-8,10,13(15)-triene-16,17,18-triol, 14,18-epoxyloba-8,10,13(15)-trien-17-ol, lobatrientriol, lobatrienolide, 14,17-epoxyloba-8,10,13(15)-trien-18-ol-18-acetate and (17R)-loba-8,10,13(15)-trien-17,18-diol. Structures of the new compounds were elucidated through interpretation of spectra obtained after extensive NMR and MS investigations and comparison with literature values. The tumour cell growth inhibition potential of 1 and 2 along with loba-8,10,13(15)-triene-16,17,18-triol, 14,17-epoxyloba-8,10,13(15)-trien-18-ol-18-acetate, lobatrienolide, (1E,3E,7E)-11,12-epoxycembratrien-15-ol and sarcophytol-B were assessed against three human tumour cell lines (SF-268, MCF-7 and H460). The lobanes and cembranes tested demonstrated 50% growth inhibition in the range 6.8-18.5 µM, with no selectivity, whilst 1 was less active (GI₅₀ 70-175 µM).

Anthelmintic Activity of Yeast Particle-Encapsulated Terpenes.

Project description:Soil-transmitted nematodes (STN) infect 1-2 billion of the poorest people worldwide. Only benzimidazoles are currently used in mass drug administration, with many instances of reduced activity. Terpenes are a class of compounds with anthelmintic activity. Thymol, a natural monoterpene phenol, was used to help eradicate hookworms in the U.S. South circa 1910. However, the use of terpenes as anthelmintics was discontinued because of adverse side effects associated with high doses and premature stomach absorption. Furthermore, the dose-response activity of specific terpenes against STNs has been understudied. Here we used hollow, porous yeast particles (YPs) to efficiently encapsulate (>95%) high levels of terpenes (52% w/w) and evaluated their anthelmintic activity on hookworms (Ancylostoma ceylanicum), a rodent parasite (Nippostrongylus brasiliensis), and whipworm (Trichuris muris). We identified YP-terpenes that were effective against all three parasites. Further, YP-terpenes overcame albendazole-resistant Caenorhabditis elegans. These results demonstrate that terpenes are broad-acting anthelmintics. Terpenes are predicted to be extremely difficult for parasites to resist, and YP encapsulation provides water-suspendable terpene materials without surfactants and sustained terpene release that could lead to the development of formulations for oral delivery that overcome fast absorption in the stomach, thus reducing dosage and toxic side effects.
