To search for new and bioactive minor components from traditional Chinese medicines, a new compound, named jujuphenoside (1), was isolated from the seeds of Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu. The structure ofjujuphenoside was elucidated by spectral and chemical methods, particularly twodimensional nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. Together with the new compound, 22 known compounds were also isolated and identified from the seeds of Z. jujuba var. spinosa, among which, epiceanothic acid (2) was first obtained from natural resources, whereas compounds 7-16 were first obtained from this plant.  相似文献

From the pro-inflammatory active extract of Euphorbia peplus, a new diterpene polyester (1) based on the jatrophane skeleton was isolated together with the known compounds 2-5. The irritant activities of some jatrophane diterpenes (2, 3 and 6-9) were also investigated: only compound 2 was found to exert a weak pro-inflammatory activity on mouse ear.  相似文献

Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase (Shp2), a novel proto-oncogenic protein, is an important target in cancer therapy research. Approximately 2000 plant extracts were screened to find its natural specific inhibitors, with the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) active extract of the root of Angelica dahurica showing considerable inhibitory effects (IC(50)=21.6 mg/L). Bioguided isolation of EtOAc extract led to 13 compounds, including 10 fatty acids and derivatives. All these compounds were isolated from the plant for the first time. The inhibitory effects of these compounds on the enzyme activities of Shp2, VH1-related human protein (VHR), and hematopoietic protein tyrosine phosphatase (HePTP) were investigated. 8Z,11Z-Feptadecadienoic acid (4), 14Z,17Z-tricosadienoic acid (5), caffeic acid (9), and 2-hydroxy-3-[(1-oxododecyl) oxy]propyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (11) showed considerable selective inhibition of Shp2 activity. After treatment of HepG2 cells with the compounds, only compound 5, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, strongly induced poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage in a dose- and time-dependent manner and increased the activities of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 at 100 μM. Compound 5 also inhibited colony formation of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, this study reported fatty acids as specific Shp2 inhibitors and provided the molecular basis of one active compound as novel potential anticancer drug.  相似文献

Chemical examination of a Chinese soft coral Lobophytum pauciflorum resulted in the isolation of seven new biscembranoids named lobophytones U–Z1 ( 1 – 7 , resp.), together with methyl sartortuoate ( 8 ) and nyalolide ( 9 ). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) spectroscopic analysis in association with MS and IR data. All compounds were tested against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced nitric oxide (NO) release in mouse peritoneal macrophage. Lobophytone Z ( 6 ) inhibited NO production with an IC50 value of 2.6 μM . Lobophytone H ( 1 ) showed inhibitory activities against the bacteria S. aureus and S. pneumoniae.  相似文献

Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. is a traditional Chinese medicine used for treating cardiovascular diseases. Our previous study has implicated potential effects of total flavonoids of Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. (TFER) against hyperlipidemia. The aim of the study is to uncover the effects and underlying mechanisms of TFER on foam cells formation after atherosclerosis. We used high fat diet (HFD) induced Apoe-/- mice and oxidized density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) induced THP-1 cells to mimic process of atherosclerosis in vivo and in vitro, respectively. Lipid accumulation, inflammation response, autophagosomes formation and expressions of autophagy related target genes were assessed. Our present study demonstrated TFER (500 mg/kg) alleviated macrophage infiltration and lipid accumulation in thoracic aortas of HFD-treated mice. In ox-LDL-treated THP-1 cells, MDC staining and Western blot analysis all indicated that the TFER (200 μg/ml) reduced foam cells formation and IL-1β releasing, activated autophagy through suppressing AKT/mTOR signaling, significantly regulating expressions of AKT, p-AKT, mTOR, p-mTOR, Beclin 1, LC3-II, p62. It is suggested that TFER alleviated atherosclerosis progression in vivo and in vitro through reducing foam cells formation and inflammatory responses, and the possible mechanism may be due to the activation of macrophage autophagy by inhibiting AKT and mTOR phosphorylation.  相似文献

Euphorbia ebracteolata was a natural medicine for the treatment of tuberculosis. The present work has performed the investigation of bioactive chemical substances from the roots of E. ebracteolata. Using various chromatographic techniques, 15 compounds were obtained from the roots of E. ebracteolata. On the basis of widely spectroscopic data analyses, the isolated compounds were determined to be diterpenoids, including rosane derivatives (1–12), isopimarane (13), abietane (14), and lathyrane (15), among which compounds 1–4, and 9 were undescribed previously. The inhibitory effects of isolated diterpenoids against Mycobacterium tuberculosis were evaluated using an Alamar blue cell viability assay. And two rosane-type diterpenoids 3 and 8 displayed moderate inhibitory effects on with the MIC values of 18 μg/mL and 25 μg/mL, respectively. For the potential inhibitor 3, the inhibitory effect against the target enzyme GlmU was evaluated, which displayed a moderate inhibitory effect with the IC50 12.5 μg/mL. Therefore, the diterpenoids from the roots of E. ebracteolata displayed anti-tuberculosis effects, which would be pay more attentions for the anti-tuberculosis agents.  相似文献

Resiniferatoxin, an extremely irritant diterpene present in several members of the genus Euphorbia, produced an 8 C decrease in the rectal temperature of mice with an effective dose in the range of 2-20 micrograms/kg. The structurally related natural product capsaicin produced a similar magnitude of fall in body temperature, albeit with 1000-fold lower potency. Tolerance to the hypothermic effects of both compounds readily developed and cross-tolerance between the compounds was observed. The extreme potency of resiniferatoxin should facilitate biochemical analysis of the mechanism of action of this class of compounds.  相似文献

With the aim of isolating new microbes capable of producing strong antimicrobial substances, strain CS392 was screened from 700 soil isolates preserved in our laboratory. The strain was related to genus Streptomyces based on various characteristics. Three highly active antimicrobial compounds, C1, C2 and C3, produced by the strain were purified by solvent extraction followed by silica gel column chromatography. These compounds were highly active against various Gram-positive resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE). Among three, C3 was the most active against MRSA and VRSA with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 μg/ml while C2 and C3 had MIC values of 4 μg/ml for the strains. In case of Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633, C1 and C3 were more effective with MIC values of 0.5 μg/ml than C2 with MIC of 2 μg/ml. Those antibiotics were variably active (MIC of 4-32 μg/ml) against Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Mycobacterium smegmatis ATCC 9341 and VRE.  相似文献

The edeines analogs were tested in several in vitro and in vivo assays using the mouse model, with edeine B (peptide W1) and cyclosporine A as reference compounds. The peptides displayed moderate, stimulatory effects on concanavalin A-induced (ConA-induced) splenocyte proliferation, whereas their effects on pokeweed mitogen-induced (PWM-induced) splenocyte proliferation were inhibitory. The peptides inhibited lipopolysacharide-induced (LPS-induced) tumor necrosis factor alpha production but had little effect on interleukin 6 production. In the model of the humoral immune response in vitro to sheep red blood cells, peptide 1 was distinctly stimulatory in the investigated concentrations (1-100 μg/ml), whereas peptides 3 and 4 only stimulated the number of antibody-forming cells at the highest concentration (100 μg/ml). In the model of the delayed type hypersensitivity in vivo to ovalbumin, the peptides were moderately suppressive (3 being the most active). The reference peptide W1 stimulated ConA-induced cell proliferation at 1–10 μg/ml but was inhibitory at 100 μg/ml. It also inhibited PWM-induced cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. This peptide had no effect on the humoral immune response in vitro or on cytokine production, but inhibited DTH reaction in vivo. The relationship between structure and activity, and a possible mode of action of the peptides, is discussed in this paper.  相似文献
