One-pot conversion with whole cells of bacteria was performed for biooxidation of meso monocyclic (3a–b) and bicyclic diols (3c–e) into corresponding chiral lactones of bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane structure (2a–b) as well as exo- and endo-bridged lactones with the structure of [2.2.1] (3c–d) and [2.2.2] (3e). Micrococcus sp. DSM 30771 was selected as biocatalyst with significant alcohol dehydrogenase activity. Among tested strains, microbial oxidation of meso diols 3a–e catalyzed by Micrococcus sp. afforded enantiomerically pure ((+)-(2S,3R)-2c (ee = 99%), (+)-(2S,3R)-2e (ee = 99%)) or enriched ((+)-(1S,5R)-2a (ee = 90%), (−)-(1S,5R)-2b (ee = 86%), (+)-(2S,3R)-2d (ee = 80%)) lactone moieties. Comparative study with respect to microbial cultivation as well as biooxidation was undertaken to verify agreement of secondary metabolite biosynthesis in different scales: from MTP (4 mL), across shake flask (100 mL) till bioreactor (4 L). The results from biotransformations showed quite similar dependence in oxidation of all substrates 3a–e in MTP and flasks as well, thereby confirmed the validity and reasonable approach of using MTP for preliminary studies. 相似文献
Two new eudesmane-type sesquiterpene lactones, 1-one-4-epi-alantolactone (1) and 4α,13-dihydroxy-5,7(11)-eudesmadien-12,8-olide (2), were isolated from the roots of Inula racemosa, together with six known compounds (3–8). The cytotoxic activities against five human cancer cell lines had been tested and compounds 3, 6, 7 and 8 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities. Compounds 4 and 8 showed potent in vitro activities against the release of β-glucuronidase in rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF), with the inhibitory ratios 65.4% (P < 0.01) and 80.5% (P < 0.001), at concentration of 10 μM, respectively. 相似文献
One new megastigmane, (6S,7R,8R,9S)-6-oxaspiro-7,8-dihydroxymegastigman-4-en-3-one (1) (tubiflorone, 1), and ten known compounds were isolated and characterized from the EtOH extract of Kalanchoe tubiflora (Harvey) Hamet. Structures of these isolates were assigned based on spectroscopic analyses that included 1D and 2D NMR techniques, such as HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY. The anti-inflammatory activities of selected isolated compounds (1–6 and 9–11) were evaluated as inhibitory activities against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cell lines. Compounds 1–4, 6, 9, and 11 possessed nitric oxide inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 15.1 ± 0.9 to 98.9 ± 1.3 μM. 相似文献
Therapeutic potential of nandrolone and its derivatives against leishmaniasis has been studied. A number of derivatives of nandrolone (1) were synthesized through biotransformation. Microbial transformation of nandrolone (1) with Cunninghamella echinulata and Cunninghamella blakesleeana yielded three new metabolites, 10β,12β,17β-trihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (2), 10β,16α,17β-trihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (3), and 6β,10β,17β-trihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (4), along with four known metabolites, 10β,17β-dihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (5), 6β,17β-dihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (6) 10β-hydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3,17-dione (7) and 16β,17β-dihydroxy-19-nor-4-androsten-3-one (8). Compounds 1–8 were evaluated for their anti-leishmanial activity. Compounds 1 and 8 showed a significant activity in vitro against Leishmania major. The leishmanicidal potential of compounds 1–8 (IC50 = 32.0 ± 0.5, >100, 77.39 ± 5.52, 70.90 ± 1.16, 54.94 ± 1.01, 80.23 ± 3.39, 61.12 ± 1.39 and 29.55 ± 1.14 μM, respectively) can form the basis for the development of effective therapies against the protozoal tropical disease leishmaniasis. 相似文献
Seven eremophilane-type sesquiterpenes (1–7), six cycloartane derivatives (8–13) and α-amyrin acetate (14) were isolated from the leaves of the far-eastern plant Ligularia alticola Worosch. (Family Asteraceae). (4S,5R,8S,10R)-8-Ethoxyeremophil-7(11)-en-12(8)-olide (1), 8α,11-epidioxy-8β-methoxyeremophil-6-ene (2) and 29-norcycloartan-3α-ol (8) have not been previously reported. Fukinone α-epoxide (3) was isolated for the first time from a natural source. The structures of all the compounds were established by the extensive analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR spectra and HR ESI mass spectrometry. The absolute stereochemistry of 1 was determined by comparison of theoretical and experimental ECD spectra with the application of B3LYP-TDDFT and B3LYP-GIAO calculations as well as by NMR spectroscopy. Compound 1 showed cytotoxic action against human cancer HL-60, Raji, and THP-1 cell lines (IC50 12.6, 6.0 and 6.9 μM, respectively). Compounds 2 and 4 demonstrated significant cytotoxic activities against HL-60 (IC50 2.8 and 5.8 μM, respectively) and Raji cells (IC50 2.9 and 4.2 μM, respectively). Compound 6 was cytotoxic against Raji cells (IC50 4.6 μM). None of tested compounds were cytotoxic against RAW 264.7 cells. Compounds 1 and 4–7 significantly decreased intracellular ROS levels, induced by endotoxic LPS from Escherichia coli in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. 相似文献
Bioassay-directed phytochemical study of the Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) leaves led to the isolation of a new sesquiterpene lactone of 3-Hydroxy-8β-tigloyloxy-1,10-dehydroariglovin (1), ten known sesquiterpene lactones (2–11) and two known flavones (12–13). Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR (1D and 2D) and mass spectroscopic analysis. The cytotoxic activities of those compounds were subsequently tested against the MCF-7, A549 and HeLa cancer cells lines. The results indicated that sesquiterpene lactones 1–11 exhibited consistent cytotoxicity against all three cancer cell lines, while flavones 12 and 13 showed selective inhibitory activity against HeLa cell lines. Among them, compound 3 exhibited significant growth inhibitory activity against all three cell lines. The IC50 values of compound 3 against MCF-7, A549 and HeLa were 1.97 ± 0.04, 7.79 ± 0.44, 9.87 ± 0.20 μg/ml, respectively. In addition, some structure–activity relationships of these sesquiterpene lactones for cytotoxicity were explored and summarized in this study. 相似文献
From the leaves of Nelumbo nucifera (an aquatic plant), one new compound, 24(R)-ethylcholest-6-ene-5α-ol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), along with 11 known metabolites (2–12), were isolated and identified by spectroscopic methods including 1D- and 2D NMR. Antifungal activity for (R)-roemerine (3) (IC50/MIC = 4.5/10 μg/mL against Candida albicans) and antimalarial activity for (R)-roemerine (3) and N-methylasimilobine (5) (IC50 = 0.2 and 4.8 μg/mL for the D6 clone, respectively, and 0.4 and 4.8 μg/mL for the W2 clone, respectively) was observed. None of the compounds were cytotoxic to Vero cells up to a concentration of 23.8 μg/mL. NMR data for 10-eicosanol (7) and 7,11,15-trimethyl-2-hexadecanone (10) are presented for the first time. An analysis of the structure–activity relationship shows that the substituents in position C-1 and C-2 of aporphine alkaloids are crucial for the antimalarial activity. 相似文献
Nine acylated iridoid glycosides (1–9), five acylated rhamnopyranoses (10–14) and verbascoside (15) were isolated from Gmelina arborea flowers, including 5 new compounds (1, 2, and 10–12). The cytoprotective activity of 11 selected compounds (1–8, 10, 11, and 15) against CCl4-induced cytotoxicity on liver was determined. Compounds 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 15 displayed hepatoprotective activity. 6-O-α-l-(2″, 3″-di-O-trans-p-hydroxycinnamoyl)rhamnopyranosylcatalpol (2) exhibited the most potent cytoprotective effect with an EC50 value of 42.5 μM (SI = 19.3) compared with biphenyldimethylesterate (DDB, EC50 = 277.3 μM, SI = 9.8) and bicylo-ethanol (EC50 = 279.2 μM, SI = 12.2). Among the acylated iridoid glycosides, the compounds (2 and 8) containing phenolic hydroxy groups were more active than were those lacking them. 相似文献

Megastigmane glycosides (1–5) together with seven (6–12) related known compounds were isolated from the whole plants of Gynostemma pentaphyllum. The structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods, including 2D NMR, HR-ESIMS, and circular dichroism (CD), as well as chemical transformations to be (3R, 4R, 5S, 6S, 7E)-3,4,6-trihydroxymegastigmane-7-en-9-one-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (gynostemoside A, 1), (3S, 4S, 5R, 6R, 7E, 9R)-3,4,6,9-tetrahydroxymegastigmane-7-en-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (gynostemoside B, 2), (3S, 4S, 5S, 6S, 7E, 9R)-3,4,9-trihydroxymegastigmane-7-en-9-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (gynostemoside C, 3), (3S, 4S, 5S, 6S, 7E, 9R)-3,4,9-trihydroxymegastigmane-7-en-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (gynostemoside D, 4), and (3S, 4S, 5S, 6S, 7E, 9R)-3,4,9-trihydroxymegastigmane-7-en-4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (gynostemoside E, 5), respectively. 相似文献

The cytotoxic activities of sesquilignans, (7S,8S,7′R,8′R)- and (7R,8R,7′S,8′S)-morinol A and (7S,8S,7′S,8′S)- and (7R,8R,7′R,8′R)-morinol B were compared, showing no significant difference between stereoisomers (IC50 = 24–35 μM). As a next stage, the effect of substituents at 7, 7′, and 7″-aromatic ring on the activity was evaluated to find out the higher activity of (7S,8S,7′R,8′R)-7,7′,7″-phenyl derivative 18 (IC50 = 6–7 μM). In the research on the structure–activity relationship of 7″-position of (7S,8S,7′R,8′R)-7,7′,7″-phenyl derivative 18, the most potent compounds were 7,7′,7″-phenyl derivative 18 (IC50 = 6 μM) against HeLa cells. Against HL-60 cells, 7″-(4-nitrophenyl)-7,7′-phenyl derivative 33 and 7″-hexyl-7,7′-phenyl derivative 37 (IC50 = 5 μM) showed highest activity. We discovered the compounds showed four to sevenfold potent activity than that of natural (7S,8S,7′R,8′R)-morinol A. It was also confirmed that the 7′-benzylic hydroxy group have an important role for exhibiting activity, on the other hand, the resonance system of cinnamyl structure is not crucial for the potent activity. 相似文献
Two new eudesmane sesquiterpenoids artanoate (1) and eudesmanomolide (2) were isolated from the aerial parts of Artemisia anomala S. Moore. Their structures were elucidated as methyl (4R, 5S, 6S, 7S, 10R)-1-oxo-4, 6-dihydroxy-eudesma-2, 11 (13)-dien-12-oate (1) and (1R, 5R, 6R, 10R)-3, 13-diacetoxy-1-hydroxy-3, 7(11)-diene-12, 6-olide (2) on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses. Compound 1 showed cytotoxicity against HCT-8 cell lines with IC50 value of 9.13 μM, and compound 2 exhibited inhibitory activities against HCT-8 and A549 cell lines with IC50 values of 3.76 and 5.49 μM, respectively. 相似文献
A series of azepino[3′,4′:4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-12-ones (3a–f), that were conformationally restricted analogs of lead compound 2, were designed as potential cytotoxic compounds and synthesized using a radical oxidative aromatic substitution reaction as the key step. Compounds 3a–f were tested on five tumor cell lines to determine the conformational requirements for biological activity of compound 2. The results show that conformational restrictions on compound 2, generating the derivatives 3a–f, do not appreciably reduce the cytotoxic activity of 2, although compound 3d (R = Br) showed good activity against U-251 cells. Preliminary structure–activity relationship studies with these compounds revealed the importance of halogens bonded to the isoquinoline moiety. Additionally, derivatives 3f (R = NO2) and 3b (R = F) were cytotoxic to PC-3 and K-562 cells. However, none of the azepino[3′,4′:4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolinones inhibited the enzymatic activity of CDK1/cyclin B, CDK5/p25, or GSK-3. 相似文献
Bioassay guided fractionation of the roots of Lantana montevidensis (Verbenaceae) has resulted in the isolation and identification of three new triterpenoids; 13β-hydroxy-3-oxo-olean-11-en-28-oic acid (1), 12β,13β-dihydroxyolean-3-oxo-28-oic acid (2) and 12β,13β,22β-trihydroxyolean-3-oxo-28-oic acid (3) in addition to nine known compounds: oleanonic acid (4), oleanolic acid (5), 3β,25β-dihydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (6), lantadene A (7), 19α-hydroxy-3-oxo-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (8) pomolic acid (9), camaric acid (10) together with β-sitosterol (11) and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-d-glucoside (12). The structures of the isolated metabolites were elucidated based on comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data as well as HR-ESI–MS. The extracts and the isolated metabolites were evaluated for their antiprotozoal and antimicrobial activities. Compound 2 showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin resistant S. aureus with IC50 values against both organisms of 2.1 μM and compound 10 showed activity against same organisms with IC50 values 8.74 and 8.09 μM, respectively, compared to the positive control ciprofloxacin (IC50 = 0.3 μM against S. aureus and MRSA). Compounds 1, 4, 5, 6, and 10 showed moderate antileishmanial activity with IC50 values ranging between (2.54–14.95 μM) and IC90 values ranging between (11.90–19.47 μM), using pentamidine as a control (IC50 values 2.09 ≥ 16.8 μM) and IC90 values ranging between (4.72 ≥ 16.8 μM). These compounds also showed highly potent antitrypanosomal activity with IC50 values ranging between (0.39–7.12 μM) and IC90 values ranging between (1.91–10.51 μM), which are more efficient than the DFMO, the antitrypanosomal drug employed as positive control (IC50 and IC90values 11.82 and 30.82 μM). 相似文献
A library of benzimidazole derivatives 1–20 were synthesized, and studied for their α-chymotrypsin (α-CT) inhibitory activity in vitro. Kinetics and molecular docking studies were performed to identify the type of inhibition. Compound 1 was found to be a good inhibitor of α-chymotrypsin enzyme (IC50 = 14.8 ± 0.1 μM, Ki = 16.4 μM), when compared with standard chymostatin (IC50 = 5.7 ± 0.13 μM). Compounds 2–8, 15, 17, and 18 showed significant inhibitory activities. All the inhibitors were found to be competitive inhibitors, except compound 17, which was a mixed type inhibitor. The substituents (R) in para and ortho positions of phenyl ring B, apparently played a key role in the inhibitory potential of the series. Compounds 1–20 were also studied for their cytotoxicity profile by using 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells and compounds 3, 5, 6, 8, 12–14, 16, 17, 19, and 20 were found to be cytotoxic. Molecular docking was performed on the most active members of the series in comparison to the standard compound, chymostatin, to identify the most likely binding modes. The compounds reported here can serve as templates for further studies for new inhibitors of α-chymotrypsin and other chymotrypsin-like serine proteases enzymes.

Secoisolariciresinol diglucosides (SDGs) (S,S)-SDG-1 (major isomer in flaxseed) and (R,R)-SDG-2 (minor isomer in flaxseed) were synthesized from vanillin via secoisolariciresinol (6) and glucosyl donor 7 through a concise route that involved chromatographic separation of diastereomeric diglucoside derivatives (S,S)-8 and (R,R)-9. Synthetic (S,S)-SDG-1 and (R,R)-SDG-2 exhibited potent antioxidant properties (EC50 = 292.17 ± 27.71 μM and 331.94 ± 21.21 μM, respectively), which compared well with that of natural (S,S)-SDG-1 (EC50 = 275.24 ± 13.15 μM). These values are significantly lower than those of ascorbic acid (EC50 = 1129.32 ± 88.79 μM) and α-tocopherol (EC50 = 944.62 ± 148.00 μM). Compounds (S,S)-SDG-1 and (R,R)-SDG-2 also demonstrated powerful scavenging activities against hydroxyl [natural (S,S)-SDG-1: 3.68 ± 0.27; synthetic (S,S)-SDG-1: 2.09 ± 0.16; synthetic (R,R)-SDG-2: 1.96 ± 0.27], peroxyl [natural (S,S)-SDG-1: 2.55 ± 0.11; synthetic (S,S)-SDG-1: 2.20 ± 0.10; synthetic (R,R)-SDG-2: 3.03 ± 0.04] and DPPH [natural (S,S)-SDG-1: EC50 = 83.94 ± 2.80 μM; synthetic (S,S)-SDG-1: EC50 = 157.54 ± 21.30 μM; synthetic (R,R)-SDG-2: EC50 = 123.63 ± 8.67 μM] radicals. These results confirm previous studies with naturally occurring (S,S)-SDG-1 and establish both (S,S)-SDG-1 and (R,R)-SDG-2 as potent antioxidants and free radical scavengers for potential in vivo use. 相似文献
