Studies on the Alkaloids of Alseodaphne hainanensis Merr

Six alkaloids were isolated from the stem of Alseodaphne hainanensis Merr. (Lauraceae) collected in Hainan Island. Four of them were identified as xylopinine, armepavine, doryafranine, and 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-6,7-methylenedioxy-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline by means of spectral analysis and comparison of physico-chemical constants.     

On the taxonomy of Phlegmariurus (Herter) Holub sect. Huperzioides H. S. Kung et L. B. Zhang (sect. nov.) with notes on the infrageneric classification of the genus Phlegmariurus in China

After the genus Phlegmariurus (Herter)Holub was proposed by J. Holub 1964, the repercussions are different, with some botanists accepting it, while others refusing. We take it as a separate genus since the related species from China are distinctly different from those of Huperzia Bernh. The plants of this genus in China are classified into three sections: Sect. Huperzioides H. S. Kung et L. B. Zhang, sect. nov.; Sect. Carinaturus (Herter)H. S. Kung et L. B. Zhang, comb. nov. and Sect. Phlegmariurus. A key to sections is given. The taxonomy on the new section, Sect. Huperzioides, is presented. Thirteen species are reported in China, involving 4 new combinations: Ph. petiolatus (Clarke)H. S. Kung et L. B. Zhang, Ph. cryptomerianus (Maxim.)Ching, Ph. ovatifolius (Ching)W. M. Chu, Ph. nylamensis (Ching et S. K. Wu)H. S. Kung et L. B. Zhang; and 7 names are considered for the first time as synonyms: Huperzia formosana Holub [ = Ph. taiwanensis Ching ], H. austrosinica Ching [ = Ph. petiolatus ], Lycopodium mingchgense Ching [ = Ph. mincheensis Ching ], Ph. mincheensis var. angustifolius C. Y. Ma [ = Ph. mincheensis ], Ph. longyangensis C. Y. Ma [ = Ph. fordii ], Ph. nanus C. Y. Ma [ ＝ Ph. fordii ], Ph. yandongensis Ching et C. F. Zhang [ ＝ Ph.fordii]. One new record in China is found: Ph.hamiltonii.

Anticarcinogenic Alkaloids in the Cultured Cells of Cephalotaxus fortunei

Calli were induced from the leaves and stems of Cephalotaxus fortunei Hook. f. on MS medium supplemented with 0. 1 mg/L KT and 3 mg/L NAA, and from which the suspension culture cell line of this plant was established for the first time. Factors such as light, pH value of the medium, concentration of plant hormone, carbon resources and addition of substances to the medium, which affect the growth of suspension cells were investigated. The results showed that suspension cells grew appropriately at pH 5.8 with a low concentration of sucrose or glucose, and a low level of NAA. No difference effect on cell growth was seen between sucrose and glucose. Phenylalanine and protein hydrolysate were not suitable for cell growth in suspension cultures, and light inhibited cell growth. A sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for detecting the alkaloids in cultured cells. The results revealed the following contents of cephalotaxine and its anticancer esters in cultured cells: harringtonine, isoharringtonine and homoharringtonine. The total alkaloid production in cell suspension cultures was doubled as that in solid cultures. The relative amounts of cephalotaxine, drupacine, harringtonine, homoharringtonine and isoharringtonine in suspension cells was 22%, 6%, 8%, 23% and 41% respectively. In addition, other alkaloid as deoxyharringtonine and some steroids, including ergdst-5-en-3-ol. stigmasta-5, 22-dien-3-ol, β-sitosterin and 2-naphthalenamine have also been detected in cell cultures using GC/MS combined technique.     

Phytochemical Studies on the Tobacco Alkaloids

Duplicate feeding experiments of dl-ornithine-2-¹⁴C to the excised tobacco root culture were made, and the radioactive nornicotine was isolated. Approximately two thirds of the radioactivity was located in the 2-position of the pyrrolidine of the nornicotine in these experiments. This fact indicates that there are two modes in nornicotine biosynthesis: exclusive incorporation to the C-2 and equal incorporation to C-2 and C-5 from C-2 of ornithine.

On the basis of this finding, biosynthetic route was discussed.

dl-Ornithine-2-¹⁴C, dl-methionine-¹⁴CH₃ and partially racemized l-nornicotine-2,5-¹⁴C were administered to aseptically grown excised roots (N. rustica var. Brasilia). Incorporation of their radioactivity to nicotine was compared. The extent of their radioactive incorporation to nicotine was high in the order of ornithine, methionine and nornicotine; incorporation of radioactivity of nornicotine to nicotine was extraordinarily low. ¹⁵N-Labeled nornicotine was also fed to the same materials and ¹⁵N distribution was examined. Most of ¹⁵N still remained in the nornicotine reisolated. Marked amounts of ¹⁵N were located in the ethanol-insoluble fraction, the amino acid fraction and the substances having chromatographic R_F value close to that of nicotine. Only small amount of ¹⁵N was incorporated to the isolated nicotine.

Nornicotine is generally accepted to be a direct precursor of nicotine in tobacco plants. From these findings, however, it can be said that the biosynthesis of nicotine can occur through other routes without going through nornicotine.     

Alkaloids from the mangrove endophytic fungus Diaporthe phaseolorum SKS019

Six new alkaloids including four new chromeno[3,2-c]pyridines, diaporphasines A-D (1–4), and two new isoindolinones, meyeroguillines C and D (6–7), as well as three known compounds meyeroguilline A (5), 5-deoxybostrycoidin (8), and fusaristatin A (9), were isolated from an endophytic fungus Diaporthe phaseolorum SKS019. Their structures were determined by analysis of 1D and 2D NMR and mass spectroscopic data. Compounds 1–9 are alkaloid components reported for the first time from the Diaporthe sp., and diaporphasines A-D (1–4) are the third examples of alkaloids possessing the unique chromeno[3,2-c]pyridine nucleus. All isolated compounds 1–9 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity in vitro using MDA-MB-435, HepG2, MCF10A, HCT116, and NCI-H460 human cell lines. Compound 8 exhibited cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-435 and NCI-H460 human cancer cell lines with IC₅₀ values of 5.32 and 6.57 μM, respectively, and compound 9 showed growth-inhibitory activity against MDA-MB-435 human cancer cell line with IC₅₀ value of 8.15 μM.     

Studies on the cytotoxicity of miscellaneous compounds from Eupatorium betonicaeforme (D.C.) Baker (Asteraceae)

A detailed study on the cytotoxic effects of five known constituents isolated from the flowers and roots of Eupatorium betonicaeforme is reported, including 2,2-dimethyl-6-vinylchroman-4-one (1), 2-senecioyl-4-vinylphenol (2), 6-acetyl-2,2-dimethylchroman-4-one (3), (4E)-8beta-angeloyloxy-9beta,10beta-dihydroxy-1-oxogermacra-4,11(13)-dien-12,6alpha-olide (4), and 3beta-hydroxyicosan-1,5beta-olide (5). The sesquiterpene lactone 4 exhibited the highest cytotoxicity, with IC50 values ranging from 3.9 to 9.9 microM, showing some degree of cell selectivity. The antiproliferative activity of 4 was examined towards HL-60 cells, and found to diminish cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, at all concentrations tested, there was a decrease in the number of cells capable of incorporating 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), indicating disruption of DNA synthesis. The morphological changes induced by 4 were compatible with apoptotic cell death. This work, thus, corroborates the anticancer potential of Eupatorium secondary metabolites.     

Studies on Alkaloids of Streptomyces

A method was given for determination of alkaloids in culture filtrates using alkaloid reagents, e.g., modified Dragendorff’s and Mayer’s reagents, in conjunction with several pharmacological tests such as Magnus method employing the isolated guinea pig intestine and the influence on blood pressure etc. In a screening of about 1250 strains of actinomycetes, 8 strains yielded basic materials that gave positive reaction with both of the above reagents. Among them, HCI extract from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces strain No. FFD-101 caused a transient drop of blood pressure of rabbit. Furthermore one fraction of HCI extracts from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces strain 227 × 1 caused a continous rise of blood pressure.
