Abstract
A chemical investigation of the aerial parts of Piper sarmentosum resulted in the isolation and identification of 14 amide alkaloids, including three new amide alkaloids, pipersarmenoids A - C (1-3), three new natural amide alkaloids, pipersarmenoids D - F (4-6), and 8 known analogues, N-p-coumaroyltyramine (7), piperlotine C (8), piperlotine D (9), pellitorine (10), sarmentine (11), aurantiamide acetate (12), 1-cinnamoyl pyrrolidine (13) and sarmentamide B (14). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis including HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR. The cytotoxicity, neuroinflammation-inhibiting and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of those compounds were tested. Compounds 1, 2 and 12 inhibited NO production induced by LPS in BV2 cells with IC50 values of 9.36, 12.53 and 10.77 μM, respectively. Moreover, 1, 2, 7 and 11 showed moderate inhibitory activity on AChE with IC50 values ranging from 37.56 to 48.84 μM.

Biotechnological approaches for in vitro propagation, conservation and secondary metabolites production in Bulbophyllum, an endangered orchid genus: a review. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:330. [PMID: 37670800 PMCID: PMC10475453 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-023-03750-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Bulbophyllum represents the largest genus in the family Orchidaceae. The orchid species of this genus are widely used in the traditional medicine systems in different Asian countries such as China, India, Indonesia and Thailand. Studies on the secondary metabolites of Bulbophyllum have revealed the presence of important phytochemicals such as phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, triterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, steroids and glycosides. Some species of Bulbophyllum are reported to be of horticultural importance for their unique flowers. Habitat destruction and unsustainable utilization of different species of Bulbophyllum have led to a decline in the natural populations. The present review provides insights into the phytochemistry and ethnomedicinal uses of different species of Bulbophyllum, and highlights the biotechnological approaches developed for its conservation and sustainable utilization. Overall, the details provided in the present review can potentially be used for genome editing and biotechnological advances to develop plants with improved traits, which will be essential for the judicious utilization of the Bulbophyllum species so as to conserve and save the populations in the wild.

Abstract
Six pairs of undescribed phenylglycerol benzoate enantiomers, (±)-mollifolines A-F, which can also be categorized into three two-pairs of epimers, were isolated from Cinnamomum mollifolium H. W. Li (Lauraceae). The relative configurations (threo or erythro) of the epimers were determined by conformational searching of the lowest energy conformers and analyses of the relationship between the dihedral angle of H-7'─C-7'─C-8'─H-8' and the 3JH-7', H-8' coupling constant according to the Karplus equation. Furthermore, intramolecular hydrogen bonds were proved to play an important role in stabilizing the lowest conformations by using reduced density gradient (RDG) method for noncovalent interactions. Chiral resolutions of these enantiomer pairs were accomplished by immobilized polysaccharide derivative-based chiral HPLC columns. Absolute configurations of the 12 optically pure isomers were finally determined by quantum chemical time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations of their electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra.

Grifolamine A, a novel bis-γ-butyrolactone from Grifola frondosa exerted inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase and their binding interaction: Affinity and molecular dynamics simulation. Curr Res Food Sci 2022; 5:2045-2052. [PMID: 36345431 PMCID: PMC9636034 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2022.10.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel bis-γ-butyrolactone grifolamine A (1), the first γ-butyrolactone dimer from nature, together with three known γ-butyrolactones (2-4), was isolated from the byproduct from Grifola frondosa polysaccharides preparation process. The structure and stereochemistry of grifolamine A (1) were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis combined with quantum chemical calculation. The biosynthetic origin of compound 1, as well as 2-4 was proposed. Grifolamine A (1) showed an intense inhibition against α-glucosidase in vitro. The underlying inhibitory mechanism was revealed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and binding free energy calculation. SPR revealed that grifolamine A exhibited a strong affinity to α-glucosidase with an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) value of 1.178 × 10-4 M. Molecular docking manifested that grifolamine A sat at the active pocket of α-glucosidase by van der Waals force, alkyl interaction and carbon hydrogen bonds, and consequently changed the micro-environmental structure of α-glucosidase. MD simulation revealed that grifolamine A had high binding affinity to α-glucosidase with average free energy of -25.2 ± 3.2 kcal/mol. Free energy decomposition indicated amino acid residues including PHE298, PHE308, PHE309, PHE155 and ARG310 at the binding pocket played a strongly positive effect on the interaction between grifolamine A and α-glucosidase. Our findings provide valuable information for the design and development of novel α-glucosidase inhibitors based on γ-butyrolactone skeleton.

Secondary Metabolites in the Dendrobium heterocarpum Methanolic Extract and Their Impacts on Viability and Lipid Storage of 3T3-L1 Pre-Adipocytes. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14142886. [PMID: 35889842 PMCID: PMC9317628 DOI: 10.3390/nu14142886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Although many natural products have proven their potential to regulate obesity through the modulation of adipocyte biology, none of them has yet been approved for clinical use in obesity therapy. This work aims to isolate valuable secondary metabolites from an orchid species (Dendrobium heterocarpum) and evaluate their possible roles in the growth and differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. Six compounds were isolated from the orchid’s methanolic extracts and identified as amoenylin (1), methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate (2), 3,4-dihydroxy-5,4’-dimethoxybibenzyl (3), dendrocandin B (4), dendrofalconerol A (5), and syringaresinol (6). Among these phytochemicals, compounds 2, 3, and 6 exhibited lower effects on the viability of 3T3-L1 cells, offering non-cytotoxic concentrations of ≲ 10 µM. Compared to others tested, compound 3 was responsible for the maximum reduction of lipid storage in 3T3-L1 adipocytes (IC50 = 6.30 ± 0.10 µM). A set of protein expression studies unveiled that compound 3 at non-cytotoxic doses could suppress the expression of some key transcription factors in adipocyte differentiation (i.e., PPARγ and C/EBPα). Furthermore, this compound could deactivate some proteins involved in the MAPK pathways (i.e., JNK, ERK, and p38). Our findings prove that D. heterocarpum is a promising source to explore bioactive molecules capable of modulating adipocytic growth and development, which can potentially be assessed and innovated further as pharmaceutical products to defeat obesity.

Abstract
The genus Bulbophyllum is of scientific interest due to the phytochemical components and diverse biological activities found across species of the genus. Most Bulbophyllum species are epiphytic and located in habitats that range from subtropical dry forests to wet montane cloud forests. In many cultures, the genus Bulbophyllum has a religious, protective, ornamenting, cosmetic, and medicinal role. Detailed investigations into the molecular pharmacological mechanisms and numerous biological effects of Bulbophyllum spp. remain ambiguous. The review focuses on an in-depth discussion of studies containing data on phytochemistry and preclinical pharmacology. Thus, the purpose of this review was to summarize the therapeutic potential of Bulbophyllum spp. biocompounds. Data were collected from several scientific databases such as PubMed and ScienceDirect, other professional websites, and traditional medicine books to obtain the necessary information. Evidence from pharmacological studies has shown that various phytoconstituents in some Bulbophyllum species have different biological health-promoting activities such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and neuroprotective. No toxicological effects have been reported to date. Future clinical trials are needed for the clinical confirmation of biological activities proven in preclinical studies. Although orchid species are cultivated for ornamental purposes and have a wide traditional use, the novelty of this review is a summary of biological actions from preclinical studies, thus supporting ethnopharmacological data.

Abstract
The knowledge that natural products (NPs) are potent and selective modulators of important biomacromolecules (e.g., DNA and proteins) has inspired some of the world's most successful pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Notwithstanding these successes and despite a growing number of reports on naturally occurring pairs of enantiomers, this area of NP science still remains largely unexplored, consistent with the adage "If you don't seek, you don't find". Statistically, a rapidly growing number of enantiomeric NPs have been reported in the last several years. The current review provides a comprehensive overview of recent records on natural enantiomers, with the aim of advancing awareness and providing a better understanding of the chemical diversity and biogenetic context, as well as the biological properties and therapeutic (drug discovery) potential, of enantiomeric NPs.
