A series of chalcones polyoxygenated on the ring A (with pentamethoxy or 2′-hydroxy-3′,4′,5′,6′-tetramethoxy substitution patterns) was synthesized from tangeretin, a natural Citrus flavonoid. These chalcones were evaluated for their antiproliferative, activation of apoptosis, inhibition of tubulin assembly and antileishmanial activities. Comparison with the reference analogous 3′,4′,5′-trimethoxylated chalcones showed that such peroxygenated substitution patterns on the ring A were less beneficial to these activities.  相似文献

Epidemiological studies have suggested an inverse relationship between increased consumption of fruits and reduced risk of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. Citrus fruit is one of the mostly consumed fruits worldwide, and numerous studies have revealed its remarkable health-promoting activities, such as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular protection activities. These activities largely depend upon the diverse chemical constituents of Citrus fruits, including vitamins, minerals, terpenoids, and flavonoids. Notably, dietary flavonoids occurring in Citrus fruits have attracted growing interest due to their distinct beneficial effects on human health. In this review, we outlined the main health-related properties of Citrus flavonoids, with a focus on antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammation, and cardiovascular protection activities. Also the bioavailability, a critical factor that influences the biological efficacy, of Citrus flavonoids was discussed. It was believed that insights about these advances may encourage researchers to discover new phytochemical components and further study specific bioactivities from Citrus fruits.  相似文献

Citrus plants are able to produce defense compounds such as coumarins and furanocoumarins to cope with herbivorous insects and pathogens. In humans, these chemical compounds are strong photosensitizers and can interact with medications, leading to the “grapefruit juice effect”. Removing coumarins and furanocoumarins from food and cosmetics imply additional costs and might alter product quality. Thus, the selection of Citrus cultivars displaying low coumarin and furanocoumarin contents constitutes a valuable alternative. In this study, we performed ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry analyses to determine the contents of these compounds within the peel and the pulp of 61 Citrus species representative of the genetic diversity all Citrus. Generally, Citrus peel contains larger diversity and higher concentrations of coumarin/furanocoumarin than the pulp of the same fruits. According to the chemotypes found in the peel, Citrus species can be separated into 4 groups that correspond to the 4 ancestral taxa (pummelos, mandarins, citrons and papedas) and extended with their respective secondary species descendants. Three of the 4 ancestral taxa (pummelos, citrons and papedas) synthesize high amounts of these compounds, whereas mandarins appear practically devoid of them. Additionally, all ancestral taxa and their hybrids are logically organized according to the coumarin and furanocoumarin pathways described in the literature. This organization allows hypotheses to be drawn regarding the biosynthetic origin of compounds for which the biogenesis remains unresolved. Determining coumarin and furanocoumarin contents is also helpful for hypothesizing the origin of Citrus species for which the phylogeny is presently not firmly established. Finally, this work also notes favorable hybridization schemes that will lead to low coumarin and furanocoumarin contents, and we propose to select mandarins and Ichang papeda as Citrus varieties for use in creating species devoid of these toxic compounds in future breeding programs.  相似文献

Eight methoxyflavones were isolated and identified from the peel of calamondin. Citromitin and 5-O-desmethylcitromitin are actually nobiletin and 5-O-desmethylnobiletin, respectively. 5,6,7,8,3′,4′-Hexamethoxyflavanone and 5-hydroxy-6,7,8,3′,4′-pentamethoxyflavanone are not constituents of calamondin, although previously reported.  相似文献

Garcinia hombroniana (seashore mangosteen) in Malaysia is used to treat itching and as a protective medicine after child birth. This study was aimed to investigate the bioactive chemical constituents of the bark of G. hombroniana. Ethyl acetate and dichloromethane extracts of G. hombroniana yielded two new (1, 9) and thirteen known compounds which were characterized by the spectral techniques of NMR, UV, IR and EI/ESI-MS, and identified as; 2,3′,4,5′-tetrahydroxy-6-methoxybenzophenone (1), 2,3′,4,4′-tetrahydroxy-6-methoxybenzophenone (2), 2,3′,4,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone (3), 1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone (4), 3,3′,4′,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone (5), 3,3′,5,5′,7-pentahydroxyflavanone (6), 3,3′,4′,5,5′,7-hexahydroxyflavone (7), 4′,5,7-trihydroxyflavanone-7-rutinoside (8), 18(13  17)-abeo-3β-acetoxy-9α,13β-lanost-24E-en-26-oic acid (9), garcihombronane B (10), garcihombronane D (11), friedelan-3-one (12), lupeol (13), stigmasterol (14) and stigmasterol glucoside (15). In the in vitro cytotoxicity against MCF-7, DBTRG, U2OS and PC-3 cell lines, compounds 1 and 9 displayed good cytotoxic effects against DBTRG cancer cell lines. Compounds 18 were also found to possess significant antioxidant activities. Owing to these properties, this study can be further extended to explore more significant bioactive components of this plant.  相似文献

The biological importance of microtubules in mitosis and cell division makes them an interesting target for the development of anticancer agents. Small molecules such as benzo[b]furans are attractive as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. Thus, a new class of inhibitors of tubulin polymerization based on the 2-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzoyl)-benzo[b]furan molecular skeleton, with electron-donating (Me, OMe or OH) or electron-withdrawing (F, Cl and Br) substituents on the benzene ring, was synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity, inhibition of tubulin polymerization and cell cycle effects. Adding a methyl group at the C-3 position resulted in increased activity. The most promising compound in this series was 2-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzoyl)-3-methyl-6-ethoxy-benzo[b]furan, which inhibits cancer cell growth at nanomolar concentrations and interacts strongly with tubulin by binding to the colchicine site.  相似文献

Phytochemical investigation of the rhizomes of Smilax trinervula led to isolation and structure elucidation of eight lignan glycosides, including five new lignans, namely, (7S, 8R, 8′R)-4, 4′, 9-trihydroxy-3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethoxy-7, 9′-epoxylignan-7′-one 4′-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), (7S, 8R, 8′R)-4, 4′, 9-trihydroxy-3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethoxy-7, 9′-epoxylignan-7′-one 4-O-β-d- glucopyranoside (2) (7S, 8R)-4, 9, 9′-trihydroxy-3, 3′, 5-trimethoxy-4′, 7-epoxy-8, 5′-neolignan 9′-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), (7R, 8R)-4, 9, 9′-trihydroxy-3, 5-dimethoxy-7.O.4′, 8.O.3′- neolignan 9′-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), and (7S, 8R)-4, 9, 9′-trihydroxy-3, 3′, 5-trimethoxy-8, 4′-oxy-neolignan 4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (5), along with three known compounds (6-8). Their structures were established mainly on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectral data, ESI–MS and comparison with the literature. Compounds 1-8 were tested in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against four human tumor cell lines (SH-SY5Y, SGC-7901, HCT-116, Lovo). Compounds 3 and 5 exhibited cytotoxic activity against Lovo cells, with IC50 value of 10.4 μM and 8.5 μM, respectively.  相似文献

3′,4′-Ethyleneoxy-bridged 5-methyluridine derivatives with methyl groups in the bridge, (R)-Me-3′,4′-EoNA-T and (S)-Me-3′,4′-EoNA-T, were synthesized, and these two analogs and unsubstituted 3′,4′-EoNA-T were successfully incorporated into a 2′,5′-linked oligonucleotide (isoDNA). Their duplex-forming ability with complementary DNA and complementary RNA, and triplex-forming ability with double-stranded DNA, were evaluated by UV-melting experiments. The results indicated that isoDNAs, including these 3′,4′-EoNA analogs, could hybridize exclusively with complementary RNA. In particular, 3′,4′-EoNA-T and (R)-Me-3′,4′-EoNA-T modifications within isoDNA could stabilize the duplexes with complementary RNA compared with unmodified or 3′,4′-BNA-modified isoDNAs.  相似文献

Two new 5-methyl ether flavone glucosides (7,4′,5′-trihydroxy-5,3′-dimethoxyflavone 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and 7,4′-dihydroxy-5-methoxyflavone 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) were isolated from the leaves of Thai mangrove Bruguiera gymnorrhiza together with 7,3′,4′,5′-tetrahydroxy-5-methoxyflavone, 7,4′,5′-trihydroxy-5,3′-dimethoxyflavone, luteolin 5-methyl ether 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, 7,4′-dihydroxy-5,3′-dimethoxyflavone 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, rutin, kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside, myricetin 3-O-rutinoside and an aryl-tetralin lignan rhamnoside. The structure of a lignan rhamnoside was found to be related to racemiside, an isolated compound from Cotoneaster racemiflora, and also discussed. Structure determinations were based on analyses of physical and spectroscopic data including 1D- and 2D-NMR.  相似文献

Honey bees, Apis mellifera var ligustica, on Kangaroo Island, Australia, were found to collect propolis from the sticky exudate on the stem shoots and seed pods of an Australian endemic plant, Acacia paradoxa. Extracts of the plant stem shoots and seed pods, the propolis carried on the legs of bees and freshly collected propolis in hives contained major flavonoid components consisting of 2′,3′,4′-trimethoxychalcone, 2′-hydroxy-3′,4′-dimethoxychalcone, 2′,4′-dihydroxy-3′-methoxychalcone, 5,7-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydroflavonol 3-acetate (pinobanksin 3-acetate) and 5,7-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2,3-dihydroflavonol 3-acetate, a substance not previously characterized. HPLC and 1H NMR analyses of the propolis and plant extracts indicated smaller amounts of other flavonoids. A survey of propolis samples from 47 apiary sites widely distributed on Kangaroo Island showed that 15 samples from 6 sites were largely sourced from A. paradoxa.  相似文献

Infrared spectra of neutral aqueous solutions of nucleoside 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphates indicate an increase in the antisymmetric phosphoryl stretching frequency to 1236 cm?1 from 1215 cm?1 in trimethylene cyclic phosphates. A further increase to 1242 cm?1 accompanies esterification of the 2′-ribose hydroxyl. The O2′-esterified and 2′-deoxy cyclic nucleotides examined display both reduced kinase binding and altered phosphoryl stretching frequencies, suggesting that modification of the phosphate ring represents a common feature in decreased kinase activation. Reversible inhibition of mitosis in thymidine-synchronized human lymphocytes by 2 mmN6,O2′-dibutyryladenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate and N6-monobutyryladenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate was observed. However, adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate, O2′-monobutyryladenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate, butyric acid, and ethyl butyrate had no effect on mitosis when present at 2 mm concentrations during S and G2. These results are consistent with hydrolysis of O2′-monobutyryladenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate and adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate by esterase and phosphodiesterase enzymes and suggest that modification of the N6 amino group is necessary for the antimitotic activity of N6,O2′-dibutyryladenosine 3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate.  相似文献

Volatile profiles yielded from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis provide abundant information not only for metabolism-related research, but also for chemotaxonomy. To study the chemotaxonomy of Mangshanyegan, its volatile profiles of fruit and leaf and those of 29 other genotypes of Citrus, Poncirus, and Fortunella were subjected to phylogenetic analyses. Results showed that 145 identified (including 64 tentatively identified) and 15 unidentified volatile compounds were detected from their peel oils. The phylogenetic analysis of peel oils based on hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) demonstrated a good agreement with the Swingle taxonomy system, in which the three genera of Citrus, Poncirus, and Fortunella were almost completely separated. As to Citrus, HCA indicated that Citrophorum, Cephalocitrus, and Sinocitrus fell into three subgroups, respectively. Also, it revealed that Mangshanyegan contain volatile compounds similar to those from pummelo, though it is genetically believed to be a mandarin. These results were further supported by the principal component analysis of the peel oils and the HCA results of volatile profiles of leaves in the study.  相似文献

A previous report disclosed the presence of benzodioxan and bicyclo[3.2.1]octanoid neolignans in the benzene extract of the trunk wood of an Amazonian Aniba (Lauraceae) species. The chloroform extract of the same material contains additionally two new benzodioxan neolignans [rel-(7S,8R)-Δ8′-7-hydroxy-3,4,5,5′-tetramethoxy-7.0.3′,8.0.4′-neolignan; rel-(7R,8R)-Δ7′-3,4,5,5′-tetramethoxy-9′-oxo-7.0.3′,8.0.4′-neolignan], two new bicyclo[3.2.1]-octanoid neolignans [(7R,8S,1′S,2′S,3′S,4′R)-Δ8′-2′,4′-dihydroxy-3,3′-dimethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxy-1′,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-hexahydro-5′-oxo-7.3′,8.1′-neolignan; (7R,8S,1′R,2′S,3′S)-Δ8′-2′-hydroxy-3,3′,5′-trimethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxy-1′,2′,3′,4′-tetrahydro-4′-oxo-7.3′,8.1′-neolignan] and a hydrobenzofuranoid neolignan [(7S,8R,1′S,5′S)-Δ8′-3,3′,5′-tri-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxy-1′,4′,5′,6′-tetrahydro-4′-oxo-7.0.2′,8.1-neolignan].  相似文献

The absolute configurations of heteroxanthin ((3S,5S,6S,3′R)- 7′,8′-didehydro-5,6-dihydro-β,β-carotene-3,5,3′,6′-tetrol) ex Euglena gracilis and of diadinoxanthin ((3S,5R,6S,3′R)-5,6-epoxy-7′,8′-didehydro-5,6-dihydro-β,β-carotene-3,3′-diol) from the same source have been established by chemical reactions, hydrogen bonding studies, 1H NMR and CD. Two previously unknown carotenoids (artefacts?) from Trollius europaeus, assigned the structures (3S,5S,6S,3′S,5′R,6′R)-6,7-didehydro-5,6,5′,6′-tetrahydro-β,β -carotene-3,5,6,3′,5′-pentol and its 5R epimer, served as useful models.  相似文献
