Nugroho AE, Komuro T, Kawaguchi T, Shindo Y, Wong CP, Hirasawa Y, Kaneda T, Tougan T, Horii T, Hadi AHA, Morita H. Ceramicines U-Z from Chisocheton ceramicus and structure-antimalarial activity relationship study. J Nat Med 2024; 78:68-77. [PMID: 37690111 DOI: 10.1007/s11418-023-01746-2] [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: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
Ceramicines are a series of limonoids which were isolated from the barks of Malaysian Chisocheton ceramicus (Meliaceae), and were known to show various biological activity. Six new limonoids, ceramicines U-Z (1-6), with a cyclopentanone[α]phenanthrene ring system with a β-furyl ring at C-17 were isolated from the barks of C. ceramicus. Their structures were determined on the basis of the 1D and 2D NMR analyses, and their absolute configurations were investigated by CD spectroscopy. Ceramicine W (3) exhibited potent antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain with IC50 value of 1.2 µM. In addition, the structure-antimalarial activity relationship (SAR) of the ceramicines was investigated to identify substituent patterns that may enhance activity. It appears that ring B and the functional groups in the vicinity of rings B and C are critical for the antimalarial activity of the ceramicines. In particular, bulky ester substituents with equatorial orientation at C-7 and C-12 greatly increase the antimalarial activity.

Abstract
Ceramicines are a series of limonoids that were isolated from the bark of Malaysian Chisocheton ceramicus (Meliaceae) and were known to show various biological activity. Four new limonoids, ceramicines Q-T (1-4) were isolated from the barks of C. ceramicus, and their structures were determined on the basis of the 1D and 2D NMR analyses in combination with calculated 13C chemical shift data. Ceramicines Q-T (1-4) were established to be new limonoids with a cyclopentanone[α]phenanthren ring system with a β-furyl ring at C-17, and without a tetrahydrofuran ring like ceramicine B, which is characteristic of known ceramicines. Ceramicine R (2) exhibited potent antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain with IC50 value of 2.8 µM.

Abstract
Background: The 17-membered polyketide, lankacidin C, exhibits considerable antitumor activity as a microtubule stabilizer by binding to the paclitaxel binding site. Method: Esterification of the C-7/C-13 hydroxyl in lankacidin C was performed with acetyl, cinnamoyl and hydrocinnamoyl groups and their antitumor activity was assessed to improve the cytotoxicity of lankacidins through bioinspired computational design. Results: Compared with the cytotoxicity of parent lankacidin C against the HeLa cell line, 13-O-cinnamoyl-lankacidin C demonstrated sevenfold higher cytotoxicity. Furthermore, 7,13-di-O-cinnamoyl-lankacidin C exhibited considerable antitumor activity against three tested cell lines. Conclusion: C13-esterification by a cinnamoyl group dramatically improved antitumor activity, in agreement with computational predictions. This finding provides a potential substrate for next-generation lankacidin derivatives with significant antitumor activity.

Abstract
Bioactivity guided separation of Chukrasia velutina root methanolic extract led to the isolation of nine new isopimarane diterpenoids, chukranoids A-I (1-9). The absolute configuration was then assigned by comparing the experimental CD spectra and the calculated CD spectra. Chukranoids A-I (1-9) showed moderate antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain. It seems that conjugate system in the isopimarane skeleton may influence their antimalarial activity.

Abstract
We investigated the importance of the δ-lactone ring (C1-C5) in lankacidin C using chemoenzymatic synthesis and computational prediction and assessing biological activity, including antitumor activity. Pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent dehydrogenase (Orf23) in Streptomyces rochei was used in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of lankacyclinone C, a novel lankacidin C congener lacking the δ-lactone moiety. Orf23 could convert the monocyclic lankacidinol derivatives, lankacyclinol and 2-epi-lankacyclinol, to the C-24 keto compounds, lankacyclinone C and 2-epi-lankacyclinone C, respectively, elucidating the relaxed substrate specificity of Orf23. Computational prediction using molecular dynamics simulations and the molecular mechanics/generalized Born-surface area protocol indicated that binding energy values of all the monocyclic derivatives are very close to those of lankacidin C, which may reflect a comparable affinity to tubulin. Monocyclic lankacidin derivatives showed moderate antitumor activity when compared with bicyclic lankacidins, suggesting that the δ-lactone moiety is less important for antitumor activity in lankacidin-group antibiotics.

Abstract
The study of medicinal plants for cancer treatment has gained attention due to an increasing incidence of cancer worldwide and antineoplastics-related undesirable secondary effects. Most of the natural products of medicinal plants that have been evaluated for cytotoxic activity, are derived from leaves, bark, roots and flowers. However, natural products derived from wood have demonstrated a cytotoxic effect with promising results. Moreover, some fractions and compounds have been isolated of wood in order to increase the effect. This review presents in vitro experimental evidence of cytotoxic effect of natural products from wood against cancer cell lines. It also provides considerations and recommendations to obtain herbal medicines over time.

Abstract
A bioactivity-guided study on the leaves of Picrasma javanica led to the isolation of 19 quassinoids, including 13 new compounds. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic data analysis, X-ray crystallography studies, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data interpretation. Compounds 1-7 are rare examples of quassinoids with a keto carbonyl group at C-12. The biological activities of 11 of the more abundant isolates were evaluated against five phytopathogenic fungi in vitro, and several of them including 6 and 15 showed moderate inhibitory effects that were comparative to those of the positive control, carbendazim. In addition, the preliminary structure-activity relationships (SARs) of these quassinoids were also investigated.

Abstract
Quassinoids, originating from the oxidative degradation of tetracyclic tirucallane triterpene, are a diverse class of secondary metabolites identifying from nature mostly in Simaroubaceae family. The crucial pharmacological activities and structural complexity of quassinoids have long fascinated scientists due to their medicinal uses, infamous toxicity, and unique biosynthesis. In the past few decades, 482 quassinoids, assigned to 6 skeletons, have been isolated and identified from plants. The names, classes, molecular formula, and plant sources of these secondary metabolites are collated here. This review will be a detailed update of the naturally occurring quassinoids reported from the plant kingdom, providing an in-depth discussion of their diversity, antitumor activities, structure-activity relationship.

Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2021; 19:3437-3450.

Abstract
Bruceine A displays potent anti-pancreatic cancer activity in vitro and in vivo. Phosphoproteomic analyses identify bruceine A induces phosphorylation of p38α MAPK. Octet system and microscale thermophoresis reveal p38α MAPK has high affinity for bruceine A. Molecular simulations illustrate determinants of bruceine A binding with p38α MAPK.
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the cancers with the poorest prognosis bearing an overall 5-year survival rate of about 5%. Efficient new chemotherapic drugs are still highly desired. Here, bruceine A, a quassinoid identified from the dried fruits of Brucea javanica (L.) Merr., displayed the most potent anti-proliferation activity against pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo. Phosphoproteomic analysis revealed p38α MAPK phosphorylation was involved in bruceine A’s action in MIA PaCa-2 cells. Utilizing fortebio octet system and microscale thermophoresis, we found p38α MAPK had high affinity for bruceine A. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations showed that bruceine A widely bound to residues (Leu171, Ala172, Met179, Thr180, Val183) in P-loop of p38α MAPK. Key determinants of bruceine A binding with P-loop of p38α MAPK were 19-C

]]>O, 22-CH3, 32-CH3, and 34-CH3. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that bruceine A binds directly to p38α MAPK, which can be used to probe the role of p38α MAPK phosphorylation in pancreatic cancer progression, and as a novel lead compound for pancreatic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Myanmar is a country with rich natural resources and of these, medicinal plants play a vital role in the primary health care of its population. The people of Myanmar have used their own system of traditional medicine inclusive of the use of medicinal plants for 2000 years. However, systematic and scientific studies have only recently begun to be reported. Researchers from Japan, Germany, and Korea have collaborated with researchers in Myanmar on medicinal plants since 2000. During the past two decades, over 50 publications have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Altogether, 433 phytoconstituents, including 147 new and 286 known compounds from 26 plant species consisting of 29 samples native to Myanmar, have been collated. In this contribution, phytochemical and biological investigations of these plants, including information on traditional knowledge are compiled and discussed.

Abstract
Computer hardware development coupled with the development of quantum chemistry, new computational models and algorithms, and user-friendly interfaces have lowered the barriers to the use of computation in the discovery and structure elucidation of natural products. Consequently, the use of computational chemistry software as a tool to discover and determine the structure of natural products has become more common in recent years. In this review, we provide several examples of recent studies that used computer technology to facilitate the discovery and structure determination of various natural products.

J Nat Med 2019; 73:627-632. [PMID: 30847757 DOI: 10.1007/s11418-019-01293-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2019] [Accepted: 02/20/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
Taberniacins A (1) and B (2), new indole alkaloids, were isolated from the stems of Tabernaemontana divaricata (Apocynaceae). Structure elucidation of 1 and 2 was based on spectroscopic methods and total synthesis. Each alkaloid showed vasorelaxant activity against phenylephrine-induced contraction of isolated rat aorta.
