Isolation and identification of 3,4-seco-labdane diterpenoids from Callicarpa nudiflora and investigation of their cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2023:113773. [PMID: 37385362 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2023.113773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
Twenty-one previously undescribed compounds, including nineteen 3,4-seco-labdanes (nudiflopenes P-W, Y, AI-JI), one 3,4-seco-pimarane (nudiflopene X), and one labdane (nudiflopene Z), along with nine known compounds (one 3,4-seco-pimarane and eight 3,4-seco-labdanes) were isolated from the leaves of Callicarpa nudiflora Hook. Et Arn. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In addition, configurations of the isolated compounds were determined by electronic circular dichroism, DP4+ probability analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. All undescribed compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells in vitro, among which compound 12 exhibited a moderate activity with an IC50 value of 27.8 μM.

Wei QH, Cao XX, Xu DF, Wang ST, Zhang JS, Zhang H. Anti-inflammatory labdane diterpenoids from the aerial parts of Leonurus japonicus. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2023; 210:113646. [PMID: 36958706 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2023.113646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Twenty-two labdane-type diterpenoids, including ten pairs of 15-epimers and a pair of 13,15-epimers, were obtained from the aerial parts of a well-known medicinal plant Leonurus japonicus Houtt. While these epimers were separated by chiral HPLC, their structures were established mainly via spectroscopic methods especially NMR, X-ray crystallography and ECD techniques. Among them, seventeen compounds, encompassing three pairs of solvolysis artefacts likely due to the use of ethanol as extracting solvent, were reported for the first time in the current work. Our preliminary anti-inflammatory screening demonstrated that seven diterpenoids displayed noteworthy inhibitory effect on the NO production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. In addition, the release of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, as well as the expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins, was also suppressed by the unreported 15,16-epoxy-6β-hydroxy-15α-methoxy-7,16-dioxolabd-8,13-diene. Further investigation into the preliminary anti-inflammatory mechanism of this compound indicated that it could block the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway.

Zhao XR, Sun XR, Zhang XJ, Wu XW, Cheng B, Ni DX, Huang JB, Zhang RH, Li XL, Xiao WL. Nudifloids A-N, structurally diverse 3,4-seco-labdane diterpenoids from Callicarpa nudiflora with inflammatory inhibitory activity. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2023; 210:113665. [PMID: 37044361 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2023.113665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Fourteen undescribed seco-type diterpenoids, named nudifloids A-N, together with ten known analogs, were isolated from the leaves of Callicarpa nudiflora. Nudifloids A-N had a characteristic 3,4-seco-labdane-type diterpenoid skeleton, whereas nudifloids A-C and K-N were 3,4-seco-norditerpenoids. Nudifloid A was the first example of a 3,4-seco-12,13,14,15,16-quartnor-labdane diterpenoid, with a seven-membered lactone ring formed through esterification between C-3 and C-11. Nudifloids B and C were a pair of highly modified 3,4-seco-labdane nor-diterpenoid epimers, of which C-2 and C-18 were cyclized together to form a cyclohexene fragment. The structures of these undescribed diterpenoids were established by spectroscopic analysis and reference data. The anti-inflammatory activity of diterpenoids in rich yield was evaluated by analyzing the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide plus nigericin-induced pyroptosis in J774A.1 cells. Nudifloids D and E exhibited prominent anti-NLRP3 inflammasome activity, with IC50 values of 1.80 and 1.59 μM, respectively. Cell permeability assays revealed that nudifloid D inhibited pyroptosis, which could ameliorate inflammation by blocking the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Abstract
Though chiral pool synthesis is widely accepted as a powerful strategy in complex molecule synthesis, the effectiveness of the approach is intimately linked to the range of available chiral building blocks and the functional groups they possess. To date, there is still a pressing need for new remote functionalization methods that would allow the installation of useful chemical handles on these building blocks to enable a broader spectrum of synthetic manipulations. Herein, we report the engineering of a P450BM3 variant for the regioselective C-H oxidation of sclareol at C6. The synthetic utility of the resulting product was demonstrated in a formal synthesis of ansellone B, the first total synthesis of the 2,3-seco-labdane excolide B, and a model study toward (+)-pallavicinin.
