Abstract
The discovery that Na/K-ATPase acts as a signal transducer led us to investigate the structural diversity of cardiotonic steroids and study their ligand effects. By applying Na/K-ATPase activity assay-guided fractionation, we isolated a total of 20 cardiotonic steroids from Streptocaulon juventas, including an undescribed juventasoside B (10: ) and 19 known cardiotonic steroids. Their structures have been elucidated. Using our platform of purified Na/K-ATPase and an LLC-PK1 cell model, we found that 10: , at a concentration that induces less than 10% Na/K-ATPase inhibition, can stimulate the Na/K-ATPase/Src receptor complex and selectively activate downstream pathways, ultimately altering prostate cancer cell growth. By assessing the ligand effect of the isolated cardiotonic steroids, we found that the regulation of cell viability by the isolated cardiotonic steroids was not associated with their inhibitory potencies against Na/K-ATPase activity but reflected their ligand-binding affinity to the Na/K-ATPase receptor. Based on this discovery, we identified a unique active cardiotonic steroid, digitoxigenin (1: ), and verified that it can protect LLC-PK1 cells from hypoxic injury, implicating its potential use in ischemia/reperfusion injury and inducing collagen synthesis in primary human dermal fibroblast cells, and implicating that compound 2: is the molecular basis of the wound healing activity of S. juventas.

Abstract
Phytochemical study was conducted on the leaves of Globimetula braunii which is a hemi parasitic plant belonging to the family Loranthaceae. Extraction was carried out using cold extraction method with increasing polarity of solvents i.e n-hexane, CH2Cl2 and MeOH. The components were separated by chromatographic technique and the structures of the compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses including MS, FTIR, 1D and 2D NMR, HRMS and chemical methods. Six new pentacyclic triterpenoid esters named as globrauneine A (1), globrauneine B (2), globrauneine C (3), globrauneine D (4), globrauneine E (5), and globrauneine F (6), together with six known compounds (7 - 12) were successfully isolated from the leaves of G. braunii growing on Piliostigma thonningii. These results depict a substantial support to the chemotaxonomy of the genus Globimetula.

Abstract
The dried powdered leaves of Globimetula braunii (Engler) Van Tiegh were effectively extracted by the cold extraction method. Purification of the EtOAc-soluble and MeOH-soluble extracts successfully yielded two lactones namely ( R)-6-[( S)-2-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butyl]–5,6-dihydropyran-2-one (dodoneine) 1 and (1 R,5 S,7 S)-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonan-3-one (2), together with five flavonoids namely quercetin 3, (+)-catechin 4, quercitrin 5, rutin 6 and avicularin 7. Their structures were established by spectroscopic means, and the absolute configuration of compound 1 was confirmed by X-ray analysis.

Molecules 2016; 21:E1048. [PMID: 27548121 PMCID: PMC6273404 DOI: 10.3390/molecules21081048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2016] [Revised: 07/31/2016] [Accepted: 08/04/2016] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
The mistletoes, stem hemiparasites of Asia and Europe, have been used as medicinal herbs for many years and possess sophisticated systems to obtain nutrients from their host plants. Although knowledge about ethnomedicinal uses of mistletoes is prevalent in Asia, systematic scientific study of these plants is still lacking, unlike its European counterparts. This review aims to evaluate the literature on Scurrula and Viscum mistletoes. Both mistletoes were found to have anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant and antihypertensive properties. Plants from the genus Scurrula were found to inhibit cancer growth due to presence of phytoconstituents such as quercetin and fatty acid chains. Similar to plants from the genus Viscum, Scurrula also possesses TNFα activity to strengthen the immune system to combat cancer. In line with its anticancer activity, both mistletoes are rich in antioxidants that confer protection against cancer as well as neurodegeneration. Extracts from plants of both genera showed evidence of vasodilation and thus, antihypertensive effects. Other therapeutic effects such as weight loss, postpartum and gastrointestinal healing from different plants of the genus Scurrula are documented. As the therapeutic effects of plants from Scurrula are still in exploration stage, there is currently no known clinical trial on these plants. However, there are few on-going clinical trials for Viscum album that demonstrate the functionalities of these mistletoes. Future work required for exploring the benefits of these plants and ways to develop both parasitic plants as a source of pharmacological drug are explained in this article.
