High variability of perezone content in rhizomes of Acourtia cordata wild plants, environmental factors related, and proteomic analysis. PeerJ 2023; 11:e16136.

Abstract
With the aim of exploring the source of the high variability observed in the production of perezone, in Acourtia cordata wild plants, we analyze the influence of soil parameters and phenotypic characteristics on its perezone content. Perezone is a sesquiterpene quinone responsible for several pharmacological effects and the A. cordata plants are the natural source of this metabolite. The chemistry of perezone has been widely studied, however, no studies exist related to its production under natural conditions, nor to its biosynthesis and the environmental factors that affect the yield of this compound in wild plants. We also used a proteomic approach to detect differentially expressed proteins in wild plant rhizomes and compare the profiles of high vs. low perezone-producing plants. Our results show that in perezone-producing rhizomes, the presence of high concentrations of this compound could result from a positive response to the effects of some edaphic factors, such as total phosphorus (Pt), total nitrogen (Nt), ammonium (NH4), and organic matter (O. M.), but could also be due to a negative response to the soil pH value. Additionally, we identified 616 differentially expressed proteins between high and low perezone producers. According to the functional annotation of this comparison, the upregulated proteins were grouped in valine biosynthesis, breakdown of leucine and isoleucine, and secondary metabolism such as terpenoid biosynthesis. Downregulated proteins were grouped in basal metabolism processes, such as pyruvate and purine metabolism and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. Our results suggest that soil parameters can impact the content of perezone in wild plants. Furthermore, we used proteomic resources to obtain data on the pathways expressed when A. cordata plants produce high and low concentrations of perezone. These data may be useful to further explore the possible relationship between perezone production and abiotic or biotic factors and the molecular mechanisms related to high and low perezone production.

Abstract
This chapter covers a sesquiterpene quinone, commonly named perezone. This molecule is documented as the first secondary metabolite isolated in crystalline form in the New World in 1852. An introduction, with its structure, the IUPAC nomenclature, and the most recent physical and spectroscopic characterizations are firstly described initially. Alongside this, a timeline and scheme with summarized information of the history of this molecule is given including the "Códice Badiano de la Cruz, 1552, highlighting the year of its isolation culminating with information up to 2005. Subsequently, in a chronological order the most recent advances of the target molecule are included and organized in subsections covering the last 15-year period 2006-2020. Finally, recently submitted contributions from the laboratory of the authors are described. It is important to note that the details provided highlight the importance and relevance of perezone.

Abstract
The vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of perezone and dihydroperezone measured from CDCl(3) solutions were quite similar, suggesting analogous conformations for both molecules. Their absolute configurations were confirmed by comparison of the experimental VCD spectrum of each compound with curves generated from theoretical calculations using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/DGDZVP level of theory taking into account their conformational mobility. Conformational analysis of the 8-(R) enantiomer showed 19 low energy conformers in a 2.4 kcal/mol energy range, while for 8-(R), with the saturated side alkyl chain, 34 conformers were considered in the first 2 kcal/mol. Initial analyses were carried out using a Monte Carlo searching with the MMFF94 molecular mechanics force field, all MMFF94 conformers were geometrically optimized using DFT at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory, followed by reoptimization and calculations of their vibrational frequencies at the B3LYP/DGDZVP level. Good agreement between the theoretical 8-(R) enantiomers and experimental VCD curves were observed for both.

Abstract
The sesquiterpene p-benzoquinone perezone (1), isolated from Perezia adnata var. alamani (Asteraceae), and its non-natural derivatives isoperezone (2), dihydroperezone (3), dihydroisoperezone (4), and anilidoperezone (5) were tested as antifeedants against the herbivorous insects Spodoptera littoralis, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, and Myzus persicae. Compounds 1-5 exhibited strong antifeedant activity against L. decemlineata and M. persicae, and elicited a low response by S. littoralis. Antifeedant activity on L. decemlineata and M. persicae increased when the hydroxyl group at C-3 in perezone (1) was changed to C-6 to give isoperezone (2). The same effect was found with hydrogenation of the double bond of the alkyl chain of (1) to yield dihydroperezone (3). In contrast, hydrogenation of this double bond in isoperezone (2) to give dihydroisoperezone (4) led to a reduction in antifeedant activity. Determination of the phytotoxic activity of 1-5 revealed that 3 had a significant inhibition effect on Lactuca sativa radicle length growth.
