UHPLC-HRMS/MS Chemical Fingerprinting of the Bioactive Partition from Cultivated Piper aduncum L. Molecules 2024; 29:1690. [PMID: 38675510 PMCID: PMC11051932 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29081690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Piper aduncum L. is widely distributed in tropical regions and the ethnobotanical uses of this species encompass medicinal applications for the treatment of respiratory, antimicrobial, and gynecological diseases. Chemical studies reveal a diverse array of secondary metabolites, including terpenes, flavonoids, and prenylated compounds. Extracts from P. aduncum have shown antibacterial, antifungal, and larvicidal activities. Our study explores the activity of extracts and partitions against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, as well as the chemical diversity of the bioactive partition. This marks the first investigation of the bioactive partition of P. aduncum from agroecological cultivation. The ethyl acetate partition from the ethanolic leaf extract (PAEPL) was found to be the most active. PAEPL was subjected to column chromatography using Sephadex LH-20 and the obtained fractions were analyzed using UHPLC-HRMS/MS. The MS/MS data from the fractions were submitted to the online GNPS platform for the generation of the molecular network, which displayed 1714 nodes and 167 clusters. Compounds were identified via manual inspection and different libraries, allowing the annotation of 83 compounds, including flavonoids, benzoic acid derivatives, glycosides, free fatty acids, and glycerol-esterified fatty acids. This study provides the first chemical fingerprint of an antimycobacterial sample from P. aduncum cultivated in an agroecological system.

Evaluation of the Antiparasitic and Antifungal Activities of Synthetic Piperlongumine-Type Cinnamide Derivatives: Booster Effect by Halogen Substituents. ChemMedChem 2023; 18:e202300132. [PMID: 37021847 DOI: 10.1002/cmdc.202300132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023]
Abstract
A series of synthetic N-acylpyrrolidone and -piperidone derivatives of the natural alkaloid piperlongumine were prepared and tested for their activities against Leishmania major and Toxoplasma gondii parasites. Replacement of one of the aryl meta-methoxy groups by halogens such as chlorine, bromine and iodine led to distinctly increased antiparasitic activities. For instance, the new bromo- and iodo-substituted compounds 3 b/c and 4 b/c showed strong activity against L. major promastigotes (IC50 =4.5-5.8 μM). Their activities against L. major amastigotes were moderate. In addition, the new compounds 3 b, 3 c, and 4 a-c exhibited high activity against T. gondii parasites (IC50 =2.0-3.5 μM) with considerable selectivities when taking their effects on non-malignant Vero cells into account. Notable antitrypanosomal activity against Trypanosoma brucei was also found for 4 b. Antifungal activity against Madurella mycetomatis was observed for compound 4 c at higher doses. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies were carried out, and docking calculations of test compounds bound to tubulin revealed binding differences between the 2-pyrrolidone and 2-piperidone derivatives. Microtubules-destabilizing effects were observed for 4 b in T. b. brucei cells.

Machine Learning Analysis of Essential Oils from Cuban Plants: Potential Activity against Protozoa Parasites. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27041366. [PMID: 35209156 PMCID: PMC8878085 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27041366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 02/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Essential oils (EOs) are a mixture of chemical compounds with a long history of use in food, cosmetics, perfumes, agricultural and pharmaceuticals industries. The main object of this study was to find chemical patterns between 45 EOs and antiprotozoal activity (antiplasmodial, antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal), using different machine learning algorithms. In the analyses, 45 samples of EOs were included, using unsupervised Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) and supervised Random Forest (RF) methodologies. In the generated map, the hit rate was higher than 70% and the results demonstrate that it is possible find chemical patterns using a supervised and unsupervised machine learning approach. A total of 20 compounds were identified (19 are terpenes and one sulfur-containing compound), which was compared with literature reports. These models can be used to investigate and screen for bioactivity of EOs that have antiprotozoal activity more effectively and with less time and financial cost.
