Metabolism of [6]-gingerol in rats

The metabolic fate of [6]-gingerol, one of the active constituents of Zingiber officinale Roscoe, was investigated using rats. The bile of rats orally administered [6]-gingerol was shown to contain a major metabolite (1) by HPLC analysis. Although the metabolites derived from [6]-gingerol were not detected in the urine, the ethyl acetate extract of the urine after enzymatic hydrolysis was shown to contain six minor metabolites (2-7). Their structures were determined to be (S)-[6]-gingerol-4'-O-beta-glucuronide (1), vanillic acid (2), ferulic acid (3), (S)-(+)-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-8-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) octanoic acid (4), 4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)butanoic acid (5), 9-hydroxy [6]-gingerol (6) and (S)-(+)-[6]-gingerol (7) based on spectroscopic and chemical data. The total cumulative amount of 1 excreted in the bile and 2-7 in the urine during 60 h after the oral administration of [6]-gingerol were approximately 48% and 16% of the dose, respectively. The excretion of 2-7 in the urine decreased after gut sterilization. On the other hand, the incubations of [6]-gingerol with rat liver showed the presence of 9-hydroxy [6]-gingerol, gingerdiol (8), and (S)-[6]-gingerol-4'-O-beta-glucuronide (1). These findings suggest that the gut flora and enzymes in the liver play an important part in the metabolism of [6]-gingerol.     

Diarylheptanoids from the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale

Seven new diarylheptanoids, i.e., (3S,5S)-3,5-diacetoxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)heptane, (3R,5S)-3-acetoxy-5-hydroxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)heptane, (3R,5S)-3,5-dihydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)heptane, (5S)-5-acetoxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)heptan-3-one, 5-hydroxy-1-(3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)heptan-3-one, 5-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-7-(3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-phenyl)heptan-3-one and 1,5-epoxy-3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)heptane were isolated from the rhizomes of Chinese ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), along with 25 known compounds, i.e., 8 diarylheptanoids, 14 gingerol analogs, a diterpene and 2 steroids. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods.     

Commercially processed dry ginger (Zingiber officinale): composition and effects on LPS-stimulated PGE2 production

Using techniques previously employed to identify ginger constituents in fresh organically grown Hawaiian white and yellow ginger varieties, partially purified fractions derived from the silica gel column chromatography and HPLC of a methylene chloride extract of commercially processed dry ginger, Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Zingiberaceae, which demonstrated remarkable anti-inflammatory activity, were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In all, 115 compounds were identified, 88 with retention times (R(t)) >21 min and 27 with <21 min. Of those 88 compounds, 45 were previously reported by us from fresh ginger, 12 are cited elsewhere in the literature and the rest (31) are new: methyl [8]-paradol, methyl [6]-isogingerol, methyl [4]-shogaol, [6]-isoshogaol, two 6-hydroxy-[n]-shogaols (n=8 and 10), 6-dehydro-[6]-gingerol, three 5-methoxy-[n]-gingerols (n=4, 8 and 10), 3-acetoxy-[4]-gingerdiol, 5-acetoxy-[6]-gingerdiol (stereoisomer), diacetoxy-[8]-gingerdiol, methyl diacetoxy-[8]-gingerdiol, 6-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-2-nonyl-2-hydroxytetrahydropyran, 3-acetoxydihydro-[6]-paradol methyl ether, 1-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-2-nonadecen-1-one and its methyl ether derivative, 1,7-bis-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-5-methoxyheptan-3-one, 1,7-bis-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-5-acetoxyheptane, acetoxy-3-dihydrodemethoxy-[6]-shogaol, 5-acetoxy-3-deoxy-[6]-gingerol, 1-hydroxy-[6]-paradol, (2E)-geranial acetals of [4]- and [6]-gingerdiols, (2Z)-neral acetal of [6]-gingerdiol, acetaldehyde acetal of [6]-gingerdiol, 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2,4-dehydro-6-decanone and the cyclic methyl orthoesters of [6]- and [10]-gingerdiols. Of the 27 R(t)<21 min compounds, we had found 5 from fresh ginger, 20 others were found elsewhere in the literature, and two are new: 5-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-pent-2-en-1-al and 5-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-1-pentanal. Most of the short R(t) compounds are probably formed by thermal degradation during GC (which mimics cooking) and/or commercial drying. The concentrations of gingerols, the major constituents of fresh ginger, were reduced slightly in dry ginger, while the concentrations of shogaols, the major gingerol dehydration products, increased.

为探讨银合欢(Leucaena leucocephala)的化学成分,从银合欢豆荚乙醇提取物中分离得到7个酚类化合物,经过波谱分析,鉴定为原儿茶酸乙酯(1)、丁香酸(2)、3-羟基-1-(3-甲氧基-4-羟基苯基)丙烷-1-酮(3)、咖啡酸甲酯(4)、(Z)-对香豆醛(5)、3-甲氧基-4-羟苯丙烷-7,8,9-三醇(6)、愈创木基甘油-8-O-4′-芥子醇醚(7)。所有化合物均为首次从该植物中分离得到。化合物1对大肠杆菌和鼠伤沙门氏菌有一定的抑制活性。     

Three components coupling catalysed by NaHSO(4).Sio(2) - a convenient synthesis, antibacterial and antifungal activities of novel 6-Aryl-1,2,4,5-tetrazinan-3-ones

A novel method has been developed for the synthesis of 6-aryl-1,2,4,5-tetrazinan-3-ones through a one-pot reaction of urea, various substituted aromatic benzaldehyde having electron donating and electron withdrawing groups and ammonium acetate in the presence of reusable NaHSO(4).SiO(2) heterogeneous catalyst in dry media under microwave irradiation. FT-IR, (1)H NMR, D(2)O Exchange, (13)C NMR, Heteronuclear Single Quantum Correlation (HSQC) spectra, MS and elemental analysis characterized all the synthesized compounds. In vitro antibacterial/fungal activities were evaluated for six new compounds. The antibacterial studies revealed that compounds 1-6 had better activity against tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Compounds 1 and 5 were more active against beta-Heamolytic streptococcus, a Gram-positive bacteria and Pseudomonas, a Gram-negative bacteria, respectively, than the standard drug ciprofloxacin. Besides, of all the compounds tested, compound 5 was more effective against Aspergillus flavus, a fungal strain than the standard drug fluconazole.     

Effect of ginger constituents and synthetic analogues on cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme in intact cells.

Seventeen pungent oleoresin principles of ginger (Zingiber officinale, Roscoe) and synthetic analogues were evaluated for inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme activity in the intact cell. These compounds exhibited a concentration and structure dependent inhibition of the enzyme, with IC(50) values in the range of 1-25 microM. Ginger constituents, [8]-paradol and [8]-shogaol, as well as two synthetic analogues, 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)decane and 5-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)dodecane, showed strong inhibitory effects on COX-2 enzyme activity. The SAR analysis of these phenolic compounds revealed three important structural features that affect COX-2 inhibition: (i) lipophilicity of the alkyl side chain, (ii) substitution pattern of hydroxy and carbonyl groups on the side chain, and (iii) substitution pattern of hydroxy and methoxy groups on the aromatic moiety.     

Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of new aliphatic sulfonamide

A series of novel aliphatic sulfonamide derivatives (1-7) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and LC-MS techniques. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro as antimicrobial agents against representative strains of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25953, Bacillus cereus ATCC 6633 and Listeria monocytogenes ATCC Li6 (isolate), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 11230) and antifungal agent against Candida albicans (clinical isolate) by both disc diffusion and minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) methods. All these bacteria and fungus studied were screened against some antibiotics to compare with our chemicals' zone diameters. Our aliphatic sulfonamides have highest powerful antibacterial activity for Gram-negative bacteria than Gram-positive bacteria and antibacterial activity decreases as the length of the carbon chain increases.     

Synthesis and biological properties of substituted 1,4-dihydro-5-methyl-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids

A series of substituted 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-5-methyl-4-oxo-3-quinoline carboxylic acids was synthesized and tested for their in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity. The introduction of a methyl group at the 5-position of quinoline nucleus enhanced characteristically the antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumonia, which is a major pathogen in the respiratory tract infection, while retaining Gram-negative activity. Among them, 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-5-methyl-7-(3-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid hydrochloride (grepafloxacin) exhibited potent in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and high in vivo efficacy on the experimental systemic infections caused by the Gram-positive and -negative bacteria tested. It also showed a high distribution to the lung and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in comparison to reference drugs and is now undergoing clinical evaluation.     

Human peptidoglycan recognition proteins require zinc to kill both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and are synergistic with antibacterial peptides

Mammals have four peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs or PGLYRPs), which are secreted innate immunity pattern recognition molecules with effector functions. In this study, we demonstrate that human PGLYRP-1, PGLYRP-3, PGLYRP-4, and PGLYRP-3:4 have Zn(2+)-dependent bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria at physiologic Zn(2+) concentrations found in serum, sweat, saliva, and other body fluids. The requirement for Zn(2+) can only be partially replaced by Ca(2+) for killing of Gram-positive bacteria but not for killing of Gram-negative bacteria. The bactericidal activity of PGLYRPs is salt insensitive and requires N-glycosylation of PGLYRPs. The LD(99) of PGLYRPs for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria is 0.3-1.7 muM, and killing of bacteria by PGLYRPs, in contrast to killing by antibacterial peptides, does not involve permeabilization of cytoplasmic membrane. PGLYRPs and antibacterial peptides (phospholipase A(2), alpha- and beta-defensins, and bactericidal permeability-increasing protein), at subbactericidal concentrations, synergistically kill Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. These results demonstrate that PGLYRPs are a novel class of recognition and effector molecules with broad Zn(2+)-dependent bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria that are synergistic with antibacterial peptides.     

Cytotoxicity and Antibacterial Evaluation of O-Alkylated/Acylated Quinazolin-4-one Schiff Bases

A series of quinazolin-4-one Schiff bases were synthesized and tested in vitro for their cytotoxicity against two cancerous cell lines (MCF-7, Caco-2) and a human embryonic cell line (HEK-293) including their antibacterial evaluation against two Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacterial strains. Most of the quinazoline-Schiff bases exhibited potent cytotoxicity against Caco-2. 3-[(Z)-({4-[(But-2-yn-1-yl)oxy]phenyl}methylidene)amino]-2-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one ( 6f ) with the O-butyne functional group displayed three-fold higher cytotoxic activity (IC₅₀=376.8 μM) as compared to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; IC₅₀=1086.1 μM). However, all compounds were found to be toxic to HEK-293, except for 3-[(Z)-({4-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl}methylidene)amino]-2-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one ( 6h ) that showed ∼three-fold lower toxicity and higher selectivity index than 5-FU. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that O-alkylation generally increased the anticancer activity and selectivity of quinazoline-4-one Schiff bases toward Caco-2 cells. The fluorinated Schiff-base generally exhibited even more significant cytotoxic activity compared to their chlorine analogs. Surprisingly, none of the quinazoline-4-one Schiff bases displayed encouraging antibacterial activity against the bacterial strains investigated. Most of the compounds were predicted to show compliance with the Lipinski parameters and ADMET profiles, indicating their drug-like properties.
