Two new taxoids, 2,20-O-diacetyltaxumairol N (1) and 14beta-hydroxy-10-deacetyl-2-O-debenzoylbacatin III (2), were isolated from the needles and stems of Taxus chinensis. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR-spectral analysis. Compound 1 showed weak cytotoxicity activity against T-24 (IC50 = 34 microg/ml) and QGY-7701 (IC50 = 22 microg/ml) cancer lines. Compound 2 showed no obvious cytotoxicity activity against T-24 (IC50 > 100 microg/ml) and QGY-7701 (IC50 > 100 microg/ml) cancer lines. 相似文献

Two new cycloartane-type glycosides oleifoliosides A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the lower stem parts of Astragalus oleifolius. Their structures were identified as 3-O-[beta-xylopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-alpha-arabinopyranosyl]-6-O-beta-xylopyranosyl-3beta,6alpha,16beta,24(S),25-pentahydroxycycloartane and 3-O-[beta-xylopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-alpha-arabinopyranosyl]-6-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-3beta,6alpha,16beta,24(S),25-pentahydroxycycloartane, respectively, by means of spectroscopic methods (IR, 1D and 2D NMR, ESI-MS). Three known cycloartane glycosides cyclocanthoside E (3), astragaloside II (4) and astragaloside IV (5) were also isolated and characterized. All five compounds were evaluated for in vitro trypanocidal, leishmanicidal and antiplasmodial activities as well as their cytotoxic potential on primary mammalian (L6) cells. Except for the compound 5, all compounds showed notable growth inhibitory activity against Leishmania donovani with IC50 values ranging from 13.2 to 21.3 microg/ml. Only weak activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense was observed with the known compounds astragaloside II (4, IC50 66.6 microg/ml) and cyclocanthoside E (3, IC50 85.2 microg/ml), while all compounds were inactive against Trypanosoma cruzi and Plasmodium falciparum. None of the compounds were toxic to mammalian cells (IC50's > 90 microg/ml). This is the first report of leishmanicidal and trypanocidal activity of cycloartane-type triterpene glycosides. 相似文献

Trinorcucurbitane and cucurbitane triterpenoids from the roots of Momordica charantia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Five cucurbitacins, kuguacins A-E (1-5), together with three known analogues, 3beta,7beta,25-trihydroxycucurbita-5,(23E)-diene-19-al (6), 3beta,25-dihydroxy-5beta,19-epoxycucurbita-6,(23E)-diene (7), and momordicine I (8), were isolated from roots of Momordica charantia. Structures of 1-5 were elucidated by NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis. Among them, compounds 3-5 possess an unprecedented 25,26,27-trinorcucurbitane backbone. Compounds 3 and 5 showed moderate anti-HIV-1 activity with EC(50) values of 8.45 and 25.62 microg/ml, and exerted minimal cytotoxicity against C8166 cells (IC(50)>200 microg/ml), with a selectivity index more than 23.68 and 7.81, respectively. 相似文献

Three (1,2,4) and one known (3) triterpenoid saponins were isolated from the bark of Albizia procera. The saponins were characterized as 3-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-->6)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl] echinocystic acid (1), 3-O-[alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-fucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl] echinocystic acid (2) and 3-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-->6)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl] acacic acid lactone (4). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR experiments, FABMS as well as chemical means. Saponins 1 and 3 exhibited cytotoxicity against HEPG2 cell line with IC50 9.13 microg/ml and 10 microg/ml, respectively. 相似文献

Based on general SARs previously described for anti-HIV-1 diarylsulfone derivatives, a series of 2-amino- and 2-carboxamido-3-arylsulfonylthiophenes has been prepared and evaluated as potential antiviral and antitumor agents. In cell culture, some of the 2-aminothiophenes exhibited moderate and selective activity against HIV-1, with 2-amino-3-(2-nitrophenylsulfonyl)thiophene (7e) being most attractive (EC(50)=3.8 microg/mL, CC(50)=>100 microg/mL). In broad-spectrum antiviral assays, the 3-arylsulfonyl-2-(trifluoroacetamido)thiophenes (8c-g) and 2-acetamido-3-arylsulfonyl-5-nitrothiophenes (9f-g) proved considerably active (IC(50)=0.1-10 microg/mL) against human cytomegalovirus (CMV) and/or varicella zoster virus (VZV). Based on the activity of the trifluoroacetamides, ring-modified furan, N-(substituted)pyrrole, phenyl, and 3,4-thiophene analogues were prepared, and these compounds were also active against CMV and/or VZV, with the notable exception of the 3,4-thiophene derivative. In contrast to other amines, the 2-aminopyrrole precursors (13a-d) also exhibited potent activity against CMV. Unfortunately, most of these compounds displayed significant cytotoxicity against human fibroblasts, the cells supporting CMV and VZV replication, and thus selectivity indices were low. The most notable exception to this was the naphthyl-substituted aminopyrrole 13d, which exhibited both potent (IC(50)=0.3 microg/mL) and selective (CC(50)=>50 microg/mL) activity against CMV. Finally, thiophene aryl amides 8i-k displayed moderate in vitro activity against certain leukemia, breast, and colon cancer cell lines. 相似文献

From the aerial parts of Astragalus suberi L., Fabaceae, seven saponins were isolated. Based on spectral data (IR, 1H and 13C NMR and HR-FABMS), the structures were established as 3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-soyasapogenol B (1); 3-O-(beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl)-soyasapogenol B (2); 3-O-[beta-D-galactopyranosyl (1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-soyasapogenol B (3); 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl (1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-soyasapogenol B (4); 3-O-[beta-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl (1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-11-hydroxy-soyasapogenol B (5); 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl (1-->2)-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-soyasapogenol B (6) and 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl (1-->2)-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-complogenin (7). The isolated saponins exhibited antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentration values >100 microg/ml, antifungal activity against all the strains tested with minimum fungicidal concentration values between 25 and 50 microg/ml and inhibited the growth of Hep-2 (human carcinoma of larynx), with IC50 values between 50 microg/ml (compounds 5-7) and 100 microg/ml (compounds 1-4), and Hela (human carcinoma of cervix) cell lines in culture with different IC50 values [74 (compound 7), 98 (compound 5) and 180 microg/ml (compounds 1-4 and 6)]. 相似文献

Four new steroidal saponins, smilacinoside A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4), together with three known saponins, funkioside D (5), aspidistrin (6) and 26-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-22-methoxyl-(25R)-furost-5-en-3beta,26-diol 3-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-galactopyranoside (7) were isolated from the dried tender aerial parts of Smilacina atropurpurea (Franch.) Wang et Tang. The structures of new compounds were elucidated as diosgenin 3-O-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-O-beta-d-galactopyranoside (1), diosgenin 3-O-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3)-[6-O-palmitoxyl]-O-beta-d-galactopyranoside (2), 26-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(25R)-furost-5-en-3beta,22xi,26-triol 3-O-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)}-beta-d-galactopyranoside (3) and 26-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-22-methoxyl-(25R)-furost-5-en-3beta,26-diol 3-O-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-d-galactopyranoside (4) on the basis of chemical methods and detailed spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR techniques and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, respectively. Six of these compounds and MeOH extract were tested for their in vitro cytotoxicity toward K562 human tumor cells by an improved MTT method. Smilacinoside A, funkioside D and aspidistrin exhibited significant in vitro cytotoxicity against K562 with IC(50) values of 1.09, 2.93 and 0.47microg/mL, respectively. 相似文献

Several arylamino derivatives of nor-beta-lapachone were synthesized in moderate to high yields and found to show very potent cytotoxicity against six neoplastic cancer cells: SF-295 (central nervous system), HCT-8 (colon), MDAMB-435 (breast), HL-60 (leukaemia), PC-3 (prostate), and B-16 (murine melanoma), with IC(50) below 1 microg/mL. Their cytotoxicities were compared to doxorubicin and with their synthetic precursors, beta-lapachone and nor-beta-lapachone. The activity against a normal murine fibroblast L-929 showed that some of the compounds were selective against cancer cells. The absence of hemolytic activity (EC(50)>200 microg/mL), performed with erythrocyte suspensions, suggests that the cytotoxicity of the compounds was not related to membrane damage of mouse erythrocytes. For comparison purposes, one isomeric compound based on nor-alpha-lapachone was also synthesized and showed lower activity than the related ortho-derivative. The modified arylamino quinones appear as interesting new lead compounds in anti-cancer drug development. 相似文献

Four new bibenzyls, bauhinols A-D (1-4), together with the two known bibenzyls 5 and 6, were isolated from the roots of Bauhinia saccocalyx, and their structures were elucidated by analyses of spectroscopic data. Bauhinol A (1) exhibits significant cytotoxicity towards NCI-H187 (small-cell lung cancer), BC (breast cancer), and KB (oral-cavity cancer) cell lines, with IC50 values of 2.7-4.5 microg/ml. Bauhinol B (2) is cytotoxic against NCI-H187 (IC50 = 1.1 microg/ml) and BC (IC50 = 9.7 microg/ml) cell lines, but inactive toward the KB cell line (at 20 microg/ml). Compound 2 also is mildly antifungal towards Candia albicans (IC50 = 28.9 microg/ml). Bibenzyl 6 is active against NCI-H187 (IC50 = 14.1 microg/ml) and BC (IC50 = 4.0 microg/ml) cells, but inactive (at 20 microg/ml) toward the KB cell line. Compounds 1, 2, and 6 show mild antimycobacterial activities, with MIC values of 25-50 microg/ml, but are inactive at 20 microg/ml against the K1 malarial parasite strain (Plasmodium falciparum). While bauhinol A (1) is inactive against cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), compounds 2 and 6 inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2, with IC50 values comparable to those of the standard drug, aspirin (Table 3). 相似文献

Cholest-4 alpha-methyl-7-en-3beta-ol (1) has potent inhibitory activity against pc 12 tumor with 0.5043 ratio (10 microg/mL). This paper describes a series of structural modification of this compound, which focus on 3beta-hydroxyl group and 7(8)-double bond. The synthesized derivatives of 1 were tested for human cancer cell lines including colon cancer (HCT-8), liver cancer (BEL-7402) and nasopharyngeal cancer (KB) cells. The results showed that cholest-4 alpha-methyl-8-en-3beta,7 alpha-diol 6a inhibits KB cell significantly with IC(50) 1.32 x 10(-9)microg/mL. In addition, the cytotoxic properties of this compound against HCT-8 and BEL-7402 are excellent with IC(50) 1.2 microg/mL. 相似文献

Three known compounds, 2-hexylidene-3-methylsuccinic acid (1), cytochalasin Q (2), and 5-carboxymellein (3), together with two new derivatives, 2-hexylidene-3-methylsuccinic acid 4-methyl ester (4) and an ophiobolane sesterterpene named halorosellinic acid (5), were isolated from culture broth of the marine fungus Halorosellinia oceanica BCC 5149. Compounds 1-3 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against KB and BC-1 cell lines with IC(50) values of 1-13 microg/mL, while compounds 2, 3, 5, and 6 showed antimalarial activity with respective IC(50) values of 17, 4, 13, and 19 microg/mL. Halorosellinic acid (5) possessed only weak antimycobacterial activity with the minimum inhibitory concentration of 200 microg/mL. 相似文献

Austroplenckia populnea (Celastraceae), known as "marmelinho do campo", is used in Brazilian folk medicine as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumoural agent. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the antimicrobial, antileishmanial and antimalarial activities of the crude hydroalcoholic extract of A. populnea (CHE) and some of its isolated compounds. The phytochemical study of the CHE was carried out affording the isolation of methyl populnoate (1), populnoic acid (2), and stigmast-5-en-3-O-beta-(D-glucopyranoside) (3). This is the first time that the presence of compound 3 in A. populnea is reported. The results showed that the CHE presents antifungal and antibacterial activities, especially against Candida glabrata and Candida albicans, for which the CHE showed IC50 values of 0.7 microg mL(-1) and 5.5 microg mL(-1), respectively, while amphotericin B showed an IC50 value of 0.1 microg mL(-1) against both microorganisms. Compounds 1-3 were inactive against all tested microorganisms. In the antileishmanial activity test against Leishmania donovani, the CHE showed an IC50 value of 52 microg mL(-1), while compounds 2 and 3 displayed an IC50 value of 18 microg mL(-1) In the antimalarial assay against Plasmodium falciparum (D6 and W2 clones), it was observed that all evaluated samples were inactive. In order to compare the effect on the parasites with the toxicity to mammalian cells, the cytotoxicity activity of the isolated compounds was evaluated against Vero cells, showing that all evaluated samples exhibited no cytotoxicity at the maximum dose tested. 相似文献

A series of synthetic dihydrobenzofuran lignans and related benzofurans were evaluated for their cytotoxicity in a screening panel consisting of various human tumour cell lines, and for their antiprotozoal activity against L. donovani (axenic amastigotes), chloroquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum (strain K1), Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. cruzi, and for cytotoxicity on L6 cells. No promising cytotoxicities against human tumour cell lines were observed for newly synthesised compounds, but the dimerisation product of some lipophylic esters of caffeic acid, such as compound 2g, showed a high activity against chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum (strain K1) (IC50 0.43 microg/mL) and L. donovani (axenic amastigotes) (IC50 0.12 microg/mL), which was confirmed in an infected macrophage assay (IC50 0.19 microg/mL). QSAR models for the cytotoxic and antileishmanial activity were generated using Quasar receptor surface modelling. 相似文献

Many viruses display affinity for cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans with biological relevance in virus entry. This raises the possibility of the application of sulfated polysaccharides in antiviral therapy. In this study we have analyzed polysaccharide fractions isolated from Scinaia hatei. The crude water extract (ShWE) as well as one fraction (F1) obtained by size exclusion chromatography had potent anti-HSV activity. Their inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50) values ranging from 0.5 to 4.6 microg/ml were much lower than the cytotoxic concentration 50% (CC50) values (1000 microg/ml). These fractions had very low anticoagulant activity. Furthermore, they had a weak inactivating effect on virions in a virucidal assay at concentrations in the range of 60-100 microg/ml. Chemical, chromatographic and spectroscopic methods showed that the major polysaccharide, which had 0.4 sulfate group per monomer unit and an apparent molecular mass of 160 kDa, contained a backbone of alpha-(1-->3)-linked D-mannopyranosyl residues substituted at C-6, C-4 and C-2 with single stub of beta-d-xylopyranosyl residues. Sulfate groups, when present, are located at C-4 of alpha-(1-->3)-linked D-mannopyranosyl units, and appeared to be very important for the anti-herpetic activity of this polymer. 相似文献

Xanthatin and xanthinosin, 2 sesquiterpene lactones isolated from the burs of Xanthiun strumarium L. (cocklebur), showed moderate to high in vitro cytotoxic activity in the human cancer cell lines WiDr ATCC (colon), MDA-MB-231 ATCC (breast), and NCI-417 (lung). Xanthatin and xanthinosin were purified as the result of a multi-screening bioassay-guided study of wild plant species of the family Asteraceae, collected from various sites in Saskatchewan, Canada. Seventy-five extracts at a single concentration of 100 microg/mL were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity to the human cancer cell lines used. The chloroform extract of Carduus nutans L. (nodding thistle) aerial parts (IC50, 9.3 microg/mL) and the hexane extract of Echinacea angustifolia DC. (narrow-leaved purple coneflower) root (IC50, 4.0 microg/mL) were moderately to highly cytotoxic to the lung cancer cell line. The chloroform extracts of X. strumarium L. burs and Tanacetum vulgare L. (tansy) aerial parts exhibited the highest cytotoxicity for all cell lines tested; their IC50 values, obtained from multidose testing, ranged from 0.1 to 6.2 microg/mL (X. strumarium) and from 2.4 to 9.1 microg/mL (T. vulgare). Further purification of the chloroform fraction of X. strumarium yielded xanthatin and xanthinosin in high yields. This is the first time that these compounds have been reported in the burs of X. strumarium. Their IC50 values are also reported herein. 相似文献

The first conversion of (1-->4)-thiodisaccharides into corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones by conventional oxidation with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) is reported. The effects of alpha-(1-->4)-3'-deoxythiodisaccharides (8-9) and their sulfoxide (14-15) and sulfone (16-17) derivatives on murine leukemia and human colon and pancreatic carcinoma cell viability were studied. Concentrations of thio-sugars that decreased tumor cell line viability by 50% (IC(50)), measured via the MTT assay, ranged from 6.4 to 38.3 microg/mL. The effect of alpha-(1-->4)-3'-deoxythiodisaccharide derivatives were most profound on human pancreatic epithelial carcinoma (PANC-1) cells with compounds 8 and 9 having IC(50) values of 6.4 microg/mL and 8.2 microg/mL, respectively. Sulfone derivatives 16 and 17 also had pronounced effects on PANC-1 cell viability (IC(50)=10.2 microg/mL and 9.6 microg/mL, respectively). These results indicate that deoxythio-disaccharide analogs generated by functionalization of the universal chiral precursor levoglucosenone may have cytotoxic properties and therapeutic potential as anticancer agents. 相似文献

The ethanolic root extract of Scrophularia lepidota, an endemic plant of the Turkish flora, has been investigated for its anti-protozoal and inhibitory effect towards plasmodial enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI), a key enzyme of fatty acid biosynthesis in Plasmodium falciparum. Chromatographic separation of the extract yielded 10 iridoids (1-10), two of which are new, and a known phenylethanoid glycoside (11). The structures of the new compounds were determined as 3,4-dihydro-methylcatalpol (8) and 6-O-[4'-O-trans-(3,4-dimethoxycinnamoyl)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl]aucubin (scrolepidoside, 9) by spectroscopic means. The remaining metabolites were characterized as catalpol (1), 6-O-methylcatalpol (2), aucubin (3), 6-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-aucubin (sinuatol, 4), 6-O-beta-D-xylopyranosylaucubin (5), ajugol (6), ajugoside (7), an iridoid-related aglycone (10) and angoroside C (11). Nine isolates were active against Leishmania donovani, with the new compound 9 being most potent (IC50 6.1 microg/ml). Except for 4, all pure compounds revealed some trypanocidal potential against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC50 values 29.3-73.0 microg/ml). Only compound 10 showed moderate anti-plasmodial (IC50 40.6 microg/ml) and FabI enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 100 microg/ml). 10 is the second natural product inhibiting the fatty acid biosynthesis of Plasmodium falciparum. 相似文献

Several new euglobal analogues (named as S-euglobals) were synthesized from phloroglucinol via a biomimetic three-component reaction involving Knoevenagel condensation followed by [4+2]-Diels-Alder cycloaddition with monoterpene. Newly synthesized euglobal analogues involve monoterpenes that have not yet been encountered in natural euglobals. S-Euglobals along with previously synthesized robustadial A and B were evaluated for in vitro antileishmanial, antimalarial, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activities. Out of 16, nine analogues were found to exhibit antileishmanial activity against Leishmania donovani promastigotes. Analogue 7 was the most potent with IC(50) of 2.4 microg/mL and IC(90) of 8 microg/mL, followed by analogues 8 and 11 (IC(50) 5.5 and 9.5 microg/mL). Antileishmanial activity of robustadial A (5) and B (6) was moderate with IC(50) of 20 and 16 microg/mL, respectively. Robustadial A and B and S-euglobal 8 exhibited weak antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum (IC(50) of 2.7-4.76 microg/mL). Few of the euglobal analogues showed antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Amongst these, analogue 11 was the most potent with IC(50) of 1.0 microg/mL and MIC of 5.0 microg/mL. Most of the compounds were not cytotoxic up to 25 microg/mL in a panel of cell lines consisting of both cancer (SK-MEL, KB, BT-549, and SK-OV-3) as well as non-cancer kidney (Vero and LLC-PK11) cells. 相似文献

Betulinic acid (1) significantly caused cytotoxicity to endothelial cell line ECV304 (IC(50) 1.26+/-0.44 microg/mL) in a 5-day MTT assay. Novel and more potent derivatives of betulinic acid (2, 4, 6-8) have been synthesized with IC(50) less than 0.4 microg/mL. The endothelial cell specificity against human tumor cell lines DU145, L132, A549, and PA-1 were determined. Further betulinic acid (1) inhibited TLS formation of ECV304 cells on Matrigel(TM) by 5.5% while its derivatives caused an inhibition of 13.1-49.2%. 相似文献

The cultivated mycelium of a Cordyceps sinensis (Cs) fungus was sequentially extracted by petroleum ether (PE), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), ethanol (EtOH) and hot water. All solvent extracts except hot water extract showed a significant and dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of four cancer cell lines, MCF-7 breast cancer, B16 mouse melanoma, HL-60 human premyelocytic leukemia and HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma, with IC(50) values below 132 microg/ml. The EtOAc extract, in particular, had the most potent effect against all four cancer cell lines, with IC(50) between 12 microg/ml (on B16) and 45 microg/ml (on MCF-7). In contrast, it had much lower cytotoxicity against normal mouse bone marrow cells. The EtOAc extract contained carbohydrates, adenosine, ergosterol and trace amount of cordycepin, of which ergosterol and related compounds were identified as a major class of active constituents contributing to the in vitro cytotoxicity. In an animal test, the EtOAc extract showed significant inhibiting effect on B16-induced melanoma in C57BL/6 mice, causing about 60% decrease of tumor size over 27 days. Our results suggest that the EtOAc extract of Cs fungal mycelium has strong anti-tumor activity and is a potential source of natural anti-tumor products. 相似文献
