Phytochemical profile and antiproliferative activities of acetone extracts of Asplenium polypodioides Blume. and A. dalhousiae Hook. in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Saudi J Biol Sci 2021; 28:6324-6331. [PMID: 34764753 PMCID: PMC8568994 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2021.06.098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
The plants extracts are widely used in traditional medicines and hence considered a potential source for drug discovery. In this study, we assessed the phytochemical composition of Asplenium dalhousiae and Asplenium polypodioides in acetone extracts and checked its antiproliferative potential in MDA-MB-231 cells. We found that both plants are rich in phenolic and flavonoid compounds and are efficient in antioxidant activities. The total phenolic compounds in A. dalhousiae were 44.15 ± 1.38 µg/mg whereas in A. polypodioides were 27.73 ± 1.35 µg/mg. Total flavonoids in A. dalhousiae were 105.39 ± 2.92 µg/mg whereas in A. polypodioides were 101.56 ± 1.75 µg/mg. The ferric reducing power assay indicates 66.38 ± 2.6% reduction by A. dalhousiae whereas 78.43 ± 0.47% reduction by A. polypodioides. Similarly, the total antioxidant capacity of A. dalhousiae was found to be 59.95 ± 1.13 whereas for A. polypodioides the recorded value was 33.03 ± 1.67%. Using GCMS analysis, we identified 25 compounds in A. dalhousiae whereas 26 in A. polypodioides. Four of these compounds are common in both plants. The morphological study and MTT assay revealed that both plants have antiproliferative potential as both plants exerted significant effects on the shape of the MDA-MB-231 cells and inhibited cellular proliferation in time and dose dependent manner. We conclude that both Asplenium plants have potential anticancer compounds.

Euphorfistrines A-G, cytotoxic and AChE inhibiting triterpenoids from the roots of Euphorbia fischeriana. Bioorg Chem 2021; 116:105395. [PMID: 34628224 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Seven new triterpenoids including two cycloartanes (1-2), a lanostane (3), a tirucallane (4), a dammarane (5), an ursane (6), and an oleanane (7), along with nineteen known triterpenoids (8-26), have been obtained from the roots of Euphorbia fischeriana. Their structures were established by NMR, HRESIMS, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, Mosher's method, NMR calculations, ECD analysis, and comparison with structurally related known analogues. Among them, compounds 1 and 8 were a pair of cycloartane-type triterpenoids epimers. Our bioassays have established that compounds 1-5 and 10 displayed moderate cytotoxic effects, and the structure-activity relationships of cycloartane-type triterpenoids (CTTs) were further examined. Notably, some triterpenoids displayed moderate inhibitory effects against AChE by an in vitro screened experiment. Triterpenoid 7 (Euphorfistrine G, ETG) displayed the potent inhibitory effect with IC50 = 2.45 and Ki = 2.30 μM (inhibition kinetic). And, in silico docking analyses have been performed to investigate the inhibitory mechanism of compound 7.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has high associated morbidity and mortality rates. Although chemical medication represents a primary HCC treatment strategy, low response rates and therapeutic resistance serve to reduce its efficacy. Hence, identifying novel effective drugs is urgently needed, and many researchers have sought to identify new anti-cancer drugs from marine organisms. The marine population is considered a "blue drug bank" of unique anti-cancer compounds with diverse groups of chemical structures. Here, we discuss marine-derived compounds, including PM060184 and bryostatin-1, with demonstrated anti-cancer activity in vitro or in vivo. Based on the marine source (sponges, algae, coral, bacteria, and fungi), we introduce pharmacological parameters, compound-induced cytotoxicity, effects on apoptosis and metastasis, and potential molecular mechanisms. Cumulatively, this review provides insights into anti-HCC research conducted to date in the field of marine natural products and marine-derived compounds, as well as the potential pharmacological mechanisms of these compounds and their status in drug development.

Abstract
We characterized a new cycloartane glycoside, herein known as aspleniumside F (1), along with five known compounds as kaempferol-3-O-[(6-O-(E)-feruloyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-(1→2)-β-D-galacopyranoside (2), quercetin-3-O-[(6-O-(E)-feruloyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), kaempferol-3-O-[(6-O-(E)-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), kaempferol-3-O-[(6-O-(E)-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), and kaempferol-3-O-[(6-O-p-coumaroyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), from Asplenium ruprechtii Sa. Kurata, a folk medicine widely used to treat Thromboangiitis obliterans in China, Japan, and Korea. Based on spectroscopic, mainly 1D-, 2D-NMR and (+)-HR-ESI-MS, analyses as well as through comparisons with previous reports, its chemical structure was determined as 3β,24,30-tri-β-D-glucopyranosyl-23,25-dihydroxycycloartane (= (23R,24R)-3β,24-bis-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-23,25-dihydroxy-9β-9,19-cyclolanostan-29-yl β-D-glucopyranoside). According to the 1 H coupling constant of anomeric protons and co-TLC of the acid hydrolysate with D-glucose, all three glycoside groups in 1 were revealed as β-D-glucopyranosyl. Furthermore, SOD-like antioxidant activity evaluation via IC50 of 12.43, 6.78, 9.12, 6.94 and 4.85 μM revealed that compounds 2-6 had bioactivity.
