Phytochemical investigation of Ononis natrix L. led to the isolation of an alkylresorcinol (1) and three alkyl isocoumarins (24) from the acetonitrile fraction of acetone extract of the aerial part of Ononis natrix. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic analyses including 1D, 2D NMR, MS, and comparison with literature data. All compounds (14) were evaluated for antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. The compounds showed moderate antimicrobial and antiprotozoal activities.  相似文献

Entamoeba histolytica is the causative agent of human amoebiasis, which mainly affects developing countries. Although several drugs are effective against E. histolytica trophozoites, the control of amoebiasis requires the development of new and better alternative therapies. Medicinal plants have been the source of new molecules with remarkable antiprotozoal activity. Incomptine A isolated from Decachaeta incompta leaves, is a sesquiterpene lactone of the heliangolide type which has the major in vitro activity against E. histolytica trophozoites. However the molecular mechanisms involved in its antiprotozoal activity are still unknown. Using a proteomic approach based on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) analysis, we evidenced that 21 E. histolytica proteins were differentially expressed in response to incomptine A treatment. Notably, three glycolytic enzymes, namely enolase, pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase and fructose-1,6-biphosphate aldolase, were down-regulated. Moreover, ultrastructural analysis of trophozoites through electronic microscopy showed an increased number of glycogen granules. Taken together, our data suggested that incomptine A could affect E. histolytica growth through alteration of its energy metabolism.  相似文献

Here we report identification of new lead compounds based on quinoline and indenoquinolines with variable side chains as antiprotozoal agents. Quinolines 32, 36 and 37 (Table 1) and indenoquinoline derivatives 14 and 23 (Table 2) inhibit the in vitro growth of the Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense subspecies and Leishmania infantum with IC50 = 0.25 μM. These five compounds have superior activity to that of the front-line drugs such as benznidazole, nifurtimox and comparable to amphotericin B. Thus these compounds constitute new ‘leads’ for further structure–activity studies as potential active antiprotozoal agents.  相似文献

Trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis pose major public health threats for many countries, particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa and South America. In the present study, we evaluated the in vitro antiprotozoal activity of three irregular, linear sesquiterpene lactones recently isolated from Greek Anthemis auriculata, namely anthecotulide (1), 4-hydroxyanthecotulide (2) and 4-acetoxyanthecotulide (3). Trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. cruzi as well as axenic amastigotes of Leishmania donovani were used for testing. The cytotoxic potential of the compounds was also assessed against mammalian (rat) skeletal myoblasts (L6 cells). All compounds showed potent trypanocidal and leishmanicidal activity. 4-Hydroxyanthecotulide (2) appeared to be the most active compound against all parasites, particularly towards T. b. rhodesiense (IC50 0.56 μg/ml), whereas 4-acetoxyanthecotulide (3) was the least active. All three metabolites possessed toxicity on mammalian cells, which might limit their use as antiprotozoal agents.  相似文献

Protozoan pathogens that cause neglected tropical diseases are a major public health concern in tropical and developing countries. In the course of our ongoing search for new lead compounds as potential antiprotozoal agents, this study aims to perform a bio-guided fractionation of Pituranthos battandieri, using an in vitro assay against Leishmania amazonensis and Trypanosoma cruzi. Two known polyacetylenes, (−)-panaxydiol (1) and (−)-falcarindiol (2) were identified from the ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of P. battandieri as the main bioactive constituents. Compounds 1 and 2 showed similar potency (IC50 values of 5.76 and 5.68 μM, respectively) against L. amazonensis to miltefosine (IC50 value of 6.48 μM), the reference drug, and low toxicity on macrophage cell lines J774. Moreover, compound 1 exhibited moderate activity (IC50 23.24 μM) against T. cruzi. In addition, three known furanocoumarins, 8-geranyloxypsoralen (3), 8-geranyloxy-5-methoxypsoralen (4), and phellopterin (5) were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by NMR and MS analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 are described for the first time in the Pituranthos genus, and this is the first report on their antiprotozoal activity. These results highlight this type of polyacetylenes as an interesting scaffold for the development of novel antiparasitic drugs.  相似文献

In this paper are reported the synthesis and antiprotozoal activity in vitro of 24 1-methylbenzimidazole derivatives (1336) substituted at position 2 with aminocarbonyl, N-methylaminocarbonyl, N,N-dimethylaminocarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, 1-hydroxyethyl and acetyl groups, some of them with chlorine atoms at the benzenoid ring. Compounds 1336 were more active than metronidazole, the choice drug against Giardia intestinalis and most of them against Trichomonas vaginalis. The most active group of compounds for both parasites was that with a 2-ethoxycarbonyl group (16, 22, 28, 34), independently of the substitution pattern at the benzenoid ring.  相似文献

Microbial metabolism of cannflavin A and B isolated from Cannabis sativa   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Microbial metabolism of cannflavin A (1) and B (2), two biologically active flavonoids isolated from Cannabis sativa L., produced five metabolites (37). Incubation of 1 and 2 with Mucor ramannianus (ATCC 9628) and Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 13144), respectively, yielded 6″S,7″-dihydroxycannflavin A (3), 6″S,7″-dihydroxycannflavin A 7-sulfate (4) and 6″S,7″-dihydroxycannflavin A 4′-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (5), and cannflavin B 7-O-β-d-4?-O-methylglucopyranoside (6) and cannflavin B 7-sulfate (7), respectively. All compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial and antiprotozoal activity.  相似文献

Methanolic extracts of 70 Malaysia plants were screened for their in vitro antitrypanosomal activity using Trypanosome brucei rhodesience, strain STIB 900 and mouse skeletal cell (L-6) in cytotoxicity activity assay. Results indicated that methanol extract from Elephantopus scaber Linn. (E. scaber) possessed the highest value of antitrypanosomal activity with good selectivity index (antitrypanosomal IC50 of 0.22 ± 0.02 μg/ml, SI value of 204.55). Based on these results, E. scaber was chosen for further study by applying bioassay guided fractionation to isolate its antiprotozoal principle. The antiprotozoal principle was isolated from the ethyl acetate partition through solvent fractionation and crystallization process. The isolated active compound 1 was identified as deoxyelephantopin on the basis of its spectral analysis (FTIR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR).  相似文献

In an endeavor to develop efficacious antiprotozoal agents 4-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl) piperazin-1-yl)pyrrolidin-2-yl)methanone derivatives (514) were synthesized, characterized and biologically evaluated for antiprotozoal activity. The compounds were screened in vitro against the HM1: IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica and NF54 chloroquine-sensitive strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Among the synthesized compounds six exhibited promising antiamoebic activity with IC50 values (0.14–1.26 μM) lower than the standard drug metronidazole (IC50 1.80 μM). All nine compounds exhibited antimalarial activity (IC50 range: 1.42–19.62 μM), while maintaining a favorable safety profile to host red blood cells. All the compounds were less effective as an antimalarial and more toxic (IC50 range: 14.67–81.24 μM) than quinine (IC50: 275.6 ± 16.46 μM) against the human kidney epithelial cells. None of the compounds exhibited any inhibitory effect on the viability of Anopheles arabiensis mosquito larvae.  相似文献

We have synthesized two new benzologues of Nitazoxanide (NIT) and Tizoxanide (TIZ), using a short synthetic route. Both compounds were tested in vitro against six protozoa (Giardia intestinalis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Entamoeba histolytica, Plasmodium berghei, Leishmania mexicana and Trypanosoma cruzi). Compound 1 (benzologue of NIT) showed broad antiprotozoal effect against all parasites tested, showing IC50’s <5μM. This compound was five-times more active than NIT, and 18-times more potent than metronidazole against G. intestinalis. It was 10-times more active than pentamidine against L. mexicana, and it was sevenfold more potent than benznidazole versus T. cruzi. This compound could be considered as a new broad spectrum antiprotozoal agent.  相似文献

A novel isoflavan-4-ol (pumilanol), (rel)-3β-(2′-hydroxy-4′,5′-methylenedioxyphenyl)-6-methoxy-4α,7-dihydroxybenzo-3,4-dihydropyran (1) and two known flavonoids, tephrinone (2) and rotenone (3) together with lupeol and stigmasterol were isolated from the roots of Tephrosia pumila (Fabaceae) from a collection made in Andhra Pradesh, India. The structures of the compounds were determined by MS, 1D and 2D-NMR spectral analysis. Pumilanol (1) exhibited significant antiprotozoal activity against T. b. rhodensiense, T. cruzi and L. donovani with IC50 of 3.7, 3.35 and 17.2 μg/mL, respectively, but displayed high toxicity towards L-6 (IC50 of 17.12 μg/mL) rat skeletal myoblasts.  相似文献

5-Methylphenanthridium derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity and cell division inhibitory activity against various Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Among them, compounds 5A2, 5B1, 5B2, 5B3, 5C1 and 5C2 displayed the best on-target antibacterial activity with an MIC value of 4 µg/mL against B. subtilis ATCC9372 and S. pyogenes PS, showing over 2-fold better activity than sanguinarine. The SARs showed that the 5-methylphenanthridium derivatives with the alkyl side chains at the 2-postion, especially the straight alkyl side chains exerted better on-target antibacterial activity.  相似文献

The crystal structures of the organocobalt complexes, pyCo(GH)2Me(1), pyCo(GH)2Et(2) and pyCo(GH)2Pri(3) (py = pyridine, GH = monoanion of glyoxime) are reported. Compound (1) crystallizes in the space group P212121 with cell parameters a = 8.508(1), b = 13.586(2) and c = 11.614(6) Å; (2) crystallizes in the space group P212121 with cell parameters a = 8.448(4), b = 12.164(2) and c = 13.651(2) Å; (3) crystallizes in the space group P21/c with cell parameters a = 8.443(7), b = 12.913(2), c = 14.341(2) Å and β = 92.86(4).The three structures have been solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by least squares methods to final R values of 0.045(1), 0.068(2) and 0.057(3) using 1819(1), 1653(2) and 1582(3) independent reflections. The pyCoalkyl fragment shows significant variation of CoN and CoC bond lengths. The latter increase from 2.003(4) to 2.084(9) Å following the increase of the alkyl bulk. The CoN(py) distances increase from 2.064(3) to 2.101(6) Å with the increasing σ-donor power of the alkyl group trans to pyridine. In comparison with cobaloximes having the same axial ligands, pyCo(DH)2alkyl (DH = monoanion of dimethylglyoxime) does not show significant differences on the pyCo alkyl fragment. CoN axial bond lengths and exchange rates of the axial neutral ligand are consistent for the two series, although changes in bond lengths are detected only when rate constants are from two to three orders of magnitude different.  相似文献

Two epimers of malyngamide C, 8-O-acetyl-8-epi-malyngamide C (1) and 8-epi-malyngamide C (3) have been isolated along with known compounds 6-O-acetylmalyngamide F (5), H (6), J (7) K (8), and characterized from a Grenada field collection of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula. The structures of these compounds were deduced by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and mass spectral data interpretation. Absolute configurations were determined by a combination of CD-spectroscopy, chemical degradation and the variable temperature Mosher’s method. Compounds 15, 7 and 8 displayed moderate cytotoxicity to NCI-H460 human lung tumor and neuro-2a cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging between 0.5 and 20 μg/mL.  相似文献

Eight alkyl and six heterocyclic aza-derivatives of gossypol (215) have been synthesized using gossypol (1) extracted from Gossypium Herbaceum cottonseeds. The ability of gossypol aza-derivatives to form complexes with NaClO4 has been investigated by electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass spectra recorded in the positive and negative ion detection modes. The gossypol aza-derivatives have been characterized by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic methods and subsequently tested for their antifungal properties against Fusarium oxysporum. Four alkyl aza-derivatives (25), present in the enamine–enamine tautomeric form, have shown activity comparable or higher than that of gossypol against this fungus. To improve the antifungal activity the complexes of the most active compounds 25 with NaClO4 were prepared. Complexes of 2 and 5 with NaClO4 have shown antifungal activity higher than that of the uncomplexed compounds.  相似文献

Treatment of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-O-p-tolylsulfonyl-α-D-ribo-hexopyranosid-3-ulose (1) with triethylamine-methanol at reflux temperature yields methyl 2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-methoxy-α-D-allopyranoside (2), a derivative (3) of 3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one, and methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-ribo-hexopyranosid-3-ulose dimethyl acetal (4). The reaction of methyl 4,6-O benzylidene-3-O-p-tolylsulfonyl-α-D-arabino-hexopyranosid-2-ulose (12) with triethylamine-methanol afforded methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-ribo-hexopyranosid-2-ulose dimethyl acetal (19) and methyl 2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-methoxy-α-D-allopyranoside (20); from the reaction of the β-D anomer (13) of 12, methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-β-D-ribo-hexopyranosid-2-ulose dimethyl acetal (21) was isolated. Syntheses of the α-keto toluene-p-sulfonates 12 and 13 are described. Mechanisms for the formation of the compounds isolated from the reactions with triethylamine-methanol are proposed.  相似文献

Twenty manzamine amides were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antimalarial and antimicrobial activities. The amides of manzamine A (1) showed significantly reduced cytotoxicity against Vero cells, although were less active than 1. The structure–activity analysis showed that linear, short alkyl groups adjacent to the amide carbonyl at position 8 are favored for antimalarial activity, while bulky and cyclic groups at position 6 provided the most active amides. Most of the amides showed potent activity against Mycobacterium intracellulare. The antimicrobial activity profile for position 8 series was similar to that for antimalarial activity profile, in which linear, slightly short alkyl groups adjacent to the amide carbonyl showed improved activity. Two amides 14 and 21, which showed potent antimalarial activity in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum were further evaluated in vivo in Plasmodium berghei infected mice. Oral administration of 14 and 21 at the dose of 30 mg/kg (once daily for three days) caused parasitemia suppression of 24% and 62%, respectively, with no apparent toxicity.  相似文献

In this work we describe the synthesis, docking studies and biological evaluation of a focused library of novel arylpiperazinyl derivatives of 8-acetyl-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin. The new compounds were screened for their 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor affinity. Among the evaluated compounds, six displayed high affinities to 5-HT1A receptors (4a-0.9?nM, 6a-0.5?nM, 10a-0.6?nM, 3b-0.9?nM, 6b-1.5?nM, 10b-1?nM). Compound 6a and 10a bearing a bromo- or methoxy- substituent in ortho position of the piperazine phenyl ring, were identified as potent antagonists of the 5-HT1A receptors. In the tail suspension test, mice injected with 6a showed a dose-dependent increase in depressive-like behavior that was related to a decrease in locomotor activity. Compound 10a did not decrease or prolong immobility time nor did it affect home cage activity. Molecular docking studies using 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A homology models revealed structural basis of the high affinity of ortho-substituted derivatives and subtle changes in amino acid interactions patterns depending on the length of the alkyl linker.  相似文献

Twenty-one novel alkyl/acyl/sulfonyl substituted fluoroquinolone derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-tuberculosis and antibacterial activity. The targeted compounds were synthesized by the introduction of alkyl, acyl or sulfonyl moieties to the basic secondary amine moiety of moxifloxacin. Structures of the compounds were enlightened by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS data besides elemental analysis. Compounds were initially tested in vitro for their anti-mycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using microplate alamar blue assay. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of all compounds were found between > 25.00–0.39 µg/mL while compounds 1, 2 and 13 revealed an outstanding activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv with MIC values of 0.39 µg/mL. Activities of compounds 121 against to a number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fast growing mycobacterium strain were also investigated by agar well diffusion and microdilution methods. According to antimicrobial activity results, compound 13 was found the most potent derivative with a IC50 value of <1.23 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and clinical strain of methicillin-resistant clinical strain of S. aureus.  相似文献

New 6-substituted and 2,6-disubstituted pyridazinone derivatives were obtained starting from easily accessible alkyl furans by using oxidation with singlet oxygen to give 4-methoxy or 4-hydroxybutenolides, key intermediates of this synthetic strategy. The new pyridazinone derivatives have been studied as vasorelaxant and antiplatelet agents. Analysis of biological data revealed the silyl ethers (4ai) and N,O-dibenzyl derivatives (6gi) as the most active compounds.  相似文献
