为了探究不同提取方法对沙枣花挥发物化学成分分析的影响,本文采用水蒸气蒸馏法、固相微萃取法、顶空采集法和气囊采集法提取沙枣(Elaeagnus angustifolia)花的挥发性物质,并利用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)分别对4种方法提取的挥发物质进行化学成分分析鉴定。从4种方法提取的沙枣花挥发物质中共检测出51种化合物,其中酯类14种、烷类13种、酚类9种、酮类3种、醇类4种、其它物质8种。顶空收集法、水蒸气提取法、气囊采集法和固相微萃取法提取的挥发物质中分别检出化合物13种、19种、22种和18种,并且用2种(或2种以上)方法提取的沙枣花挥发物质中相同化合物有15种(即:酯类6种、烷类5种、酚类2种、醇类1种、其它物质1种),分别为:反式-肉桂酸乙酯、顺式-肉桂酸乙酯、反式-肉桂酸甲酯、邻苯二甲酸二甲酯、正癸烷、正十二烷、正十四烷、正十六烷、正二十烷、愈创木酚、4,4'-亚甲基双(2,6-二叔丁基苯酚)、2-苯基-1-丙烯、乙酸叶醇酯、肉桂酸异丙酯和苯乙醇。4种方法提取的沙枣花挥发物中均含反式-肉桂酸乙酯和邻苯二甲酸二甲酯2种化合物,且反式-肉桂酸乙酯的含量较高,分别为83.75%(水蒸气蒸馏法)、14.45%(固相微萃取法)、78.27%(顶空收集法)和56.65%(气囊采集法)。4种方法中气囊采集法提取的沙枣花挥发物质中所含化合物种类最多(22种),而且操作最简单,因此气囊采集法是提取沙枣花挥发物的较好方法。     

Nematicidal Activity of Cassia and Cinnamon Oil Compounds and Related Compounds toward Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae)

The nematicidal activity of two cassia, Cinnamomum cassia, oils (Especial and true), four cinnamon, Cinnamomum zey-lanicum, oils (technical, #500, bark and green leaf), and their compounds (e.g., trans-cinnamaldehyde and trans-cinnamic acid) toward adult Bursaphelenchus xylophilus was examined by a direct contact bioassay. Results were compared with those of 34 related compounds. As judged by 24-hour LC₅₀ values, two cassia oils (0.084–0.085 mg/ml) and four cinnamon oils (0.064–0.113 mg/ml) were toxic toward adult B. xylophilus. Of 45 test compounds, trans-cinnamaldehyde (0.061 mg/ml) was the most active nematicide, followed by ethyl cinnamate, α-methyl-trans-cinnamaldehyde, methyl cinnamate and allyl cinnamate (0.114–0.195 mg/ml). Potent nematicidal activity was also observed with 4-methoxycinnamonitrile, trans-4-methoxycinnamaldehyde, trans-2-methoxy-cinnamaldehyde, ethyl α-cyanocinnamate, cinnamonitrile and cinnamyl bromide (0.224–0.502 mg/ml). Structure-activity relationships indicate that structural characteristics, such as types of functional groups, saturation and carbon skeleton, appear to play a role in determining the toxicities to adult B. xylophilus. Cassia and cinnamon oils and test compounds described merit further study as potential nematicides or leads for the control of pine wilt disease caused by B. xylophilus.

Novel aromatic ester from Piper longum and its analogues inhibit expression of cell adhesion molecules on endothelial cells

We report here the isolation and characterization of two active principles, ethyl 3',4',5'-trimethoxycinnamate (1) and piperine (2), from the combined hexane and chloroform extracts of Piper longum. Using primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells, we evaluated the activities of compound 1 on TNF-alpha-induced expression of cell adhesion molecules, viz., ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin, which play key roles in controlling various inflammatory diseases. Both compounds 1 and 2 inhibited the TNF-alpha-induced expression of ICAM-1 in a dose- and time-dependent manner; however, the activity of ethyl 3',4',5'-trimethoxycinnamate (1) was approximately 1.3 times higher than that of piperine (2). As ethyl 3',4',5'-trimethoxycinnamate (1) has been isolated for the first time from a natural source, Piper longum, and it exhibited higher activity, we carried out further studies on it. To correlate its cell adhesion molecule inhibitory activity with its functional consequences, we showed that it significantly blocked the adhesion of neutrophils to endothelium in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Importantly, the inhibitory effect of cinnamate 1 was found to be reversible. To elucidate its structure-function-activity relationship, we synthesized nine different analogues of ethyl 3',4',5'-trimethoxycinnamate, i.e., compounds 3-11, and compared the ICAM-1 inhibitory activity of compound 1 with those of its synthetic analogues as well as the corresponding acids 12-15. The structure-activity studies indicate that the chain length of the alcohol moiety, substituents in the aromatic ring, and alpha, beta-double bond of the cinnamic acid ester have significant effects on the inhibition of TNF-alpha-induced expression of ICAM-1 on endothelial cells. These findings have implications in developing compounds with a better therapeutic index against various inflammatory diseases.     

TRANS-CINNAMIC ACID AND SOME RELATED COMPOUND EFFECTS ON ORNITHOGALUM CAUDATUM POLLEN

Fresh pollen of Ornithogalum caudatum was germinated in the absence or presence of trans-cinnamic acid (t-CA), trans-cinnamaldehyde (t-CAld) and related compounds, and germination percentage studied. Hydrocinnamic acid, t-CA, and t-CAld reduced germination to 50% of the control at 20–40 mg/liter. Hydrocinnamaldehyde, 3-phenyl-1-propanol and phenylacetic acid gave 50% reduction at 70–80 mg/liter, and caffeic acid, ferulic acid, phenethyl alcohol, coumarin, styrene, phenylalanine or ethyl cinnamate required 200 mg/liter or more for similar reduction in germination percentage. The inhibition of germination by t-CA could not be overcome by indole acetic acid and vice versa, indicating a lack of antiauxin activity.     

Isolation of chlorogenic acids and their derivatives from Stemona japonica by preparative HPLC and evaluation of their anti-AIV (H5N1) activity in vitro

Two chlorogenic acids and five chlorogenic acid derivatives were simultaneously separated and purified from Stemona japonica by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. Five of the collected compounds were over 95% pure while the other two compounds were over 90% pure. Their structures were elucidated as 3-O-feruloylquinic acid (1), 4-O-feruloylquinic acid (2), methyl 3-O-feruloylquinate (3), methyl 5-O-caffeyolquinate (4), methyl 4-O-feruloylquinate (5), ethyl 3-O-feruloylquinate (6) and the new compound ethyl 4-O-feruloylquinate (7) by UV, NMR and ESI-MS. All compounds were obtained from Stemona species for the first time, however compounds 6 and 7 are believed to be artefacts from the ethanol extraction. The anti-AIV (H5N1) activities were evaluated by Neutral Red uptake assay. Compounds 3 and 4 exerted moderate inhibitory effect against AIV (H5N1) in vitro.

Engineering of a water-soluble plant cytochrome P450, CYP73A1, and NMR-based orientation of natural and alternate substrates in the active site

CYP73A1 catalyzes cinnamic acid hydroxylation, a reaction essential for the synthesis of lignin monomers and most phenolic compounds in higher plants. The native CYP73A1, initially isolated from Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), was engineered to simplify purification from recombinant yeast and improve solublity and stability in the absence of detergent by replacing the hydrophobic N terminus with the peptitergent amphipathic sequence PD1. Optimized expression and purification procedures yielded 4 mg engineered CYP73A1 L(-1) yeast culture. This water-soluble enzyme was suitable for 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) investigation of substrate positioning in the active site. The metabolism and interaction with the enzyme of cinnamate and four analogs were compared by UV-visible and 1H-NMR analysis. It was shown that trans-3-thienylacrylic acid, trans-2-thienylacrylic acid, and 4-vinylbenzoic acid are good ligands and substrates, whereas trans-4-fluorocinnamate is a competitive inhibitor. Paramagnetic relaxation effects of CYP73A1-Fe(III) on the 1H-NMR spectra of cinnamate and analogs indicate that their average initial orientation in the active site is parallel to the heme. Initial orientation and distances of ring protons to the iron do not explain the selective hydroxylation of cinnamate in the 4-position or the formation of single products from the thienyl compounds. Position adjustments are thus likely to occur during the later steps of the catalytic cycle.     

New Derivatives of Nonactic and Homononactic Acids from Bacillus pumilus Derived from Breynia fruticosa

Six new nonactic and homononactic acid derivatives, ethyl homononactate ( 1 ), ethyl nonactate ( 2 ), homononactyl homononactate ( 6 ), ethyl homononactyl nonactate ( 7 ), ethyl homononactyl homononactate ( 8 ), and ethyl nonactyl nonactate ( 9 ), as well as four known compounds, homononactic acid ( 3 ), nonactic acid ( 4 ), homononactyl nonactate ( 5 ), and bishomononactic acid ( 10 ), were isolated from culture broth of Bacillus pumilus derived from Breynia fruticosa. The structures of new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. The optical purities of 1 – 6 were determined by HPLC/MS after treatment with L ‐phenylalanine methyl ester. The dimeric compounds 5 – 9 showed weak cytotoxic activities against five human cancer cell lines (IC₅₀ 19–100 μg/ml).
