Eur J Med Chem 2024; 276:116667. [PMID: 38996651 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116667] [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: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
Attachment of a conjugate assembled from a novel fluorinated carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and rhodamine B onto dehydroabietylamine (DHA) or cyclododecylamine led to first-in-class conjugates of good cytotoxicity; thereby IC50 values (from SRB assays; employed tumor cell lines A2780, A2780Cis, A549, HT29, MCF7, and non-malignant human fibroblasts CCD18Co) between 0.2 and 0.7 μM were found. Both conjugates showed similar cytotoxic activity but the dehydroabietylamine derived conjugate outperformed its cyclododecyl analog in terms of tumor cell/non-tumor cell selectivity. Both conjugates accumulate intracellular, and the DHA conjugate was able to overcome drug resistance which is effective independent of the expression status of carbonic anhydrase IX.

Antiviral action of a functionalized plastic surface against human coronaviruses. Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0300823.

Abstract
Viruses may persist on solid surfaces for long periods, which may contribute to indirect transmission. Thus, it is imperative to develop functionalized surfaces that will lower the infectious viral load in everyday life. Here, we have tested a plastic surface functionalized with tall oil rosin against the seasonal human coronavirus OC43 as well as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. All tested non-functionalized plastic surfaces showed virus persistence up to 48 h. In contrast, the functionalized plastic showed good antiviral action already within 15 min of contact and excellent efficacy after 30 min over 90% humidity. Excellent antiviral effects were also observed at lower humidities of 20% and 40%. Despite the hydrophilic nature of the functionalized plastic, viruses did not adhere strongly to it. According to helium ion microscopy, viruses appeared flatter on the rosin-functionalized surface, but after flushing away from the rosin-functionalized surface, they showed no apparent structural changes when imaged by transmission electron microscopy of cryogenic or negatively stained specimens or by atomic force microscopy. Flushed viruses were able to bind to their host cell surface and enter endosomes, suggesting that the fusion with the endosomal membrane was halted. The eluted rosin from the functionalized surface demonstrated its ability to inactivate viruses, indicating that the antiviral efficacy relied on the active leaching of the antiviral substances, which acted on the viruses coming into contact. The rosin-functionalized plastic thus serves as a promising candidate as an antiviral surface for enveloped viruses.IMPORTANCEDuring seasonal and viral outbreaks, the implementation of antiviral plastics can serve as a proactive strategy to limit the spread of viruses from contaminated surfaces, complementing existing hygiene practices. In this study, we show the efficacy of a rosin-functionalized plastic surface that kills the viral infectivity of human coronaviruses within 15 min of contact time, irrespective of the humidity levels. In contrast, non-functionalized plastic surfaces retain viral infectivity for an extended period of up to 48 h. The transient attachment on the surface or the leached active components do not cause major structural changes in the virus or prevent receptor binding; instead, they effectively block viral infection at the endosomal stage.

Gels 2022; 8:gels8090526. [PMID: 36135239 PMCID: PMC9498735 DOI: 10.3390/gels8090526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Localized delivery systems have been typically designed to enhance drug concentration at a target site and minimize systemic drug toxicity. A rosin/cinnamon oil (CO) in situ forming gel (ISG) was developed for the sustainable delivery of imatinib mesylate (IM) against colorectal cancer cells. CO has been claimed to express a potent anticancer effect against various cancer cells, as well as a synergistic effect with IM on colorectal cancer cells; however, poor aqueous solubility limits its application. The effect of rosin with the adding CO was assessed on physicochemical properties and in vitro drug release from developed IM-loaded rosin/CO-based ISG. Moreover, in vitro cytotoxicity tests were conducted against two colorectal cancer cells. All formulations exhibited Newtonian flow behavior with viscosity less than 266.9 cP with easier injectability. The adding of CO decreased the hardness and increased the adhesive force of the obtained rosin gel. The gel formation increased over time under microscopic observation. CO-added ISG had a particle-like gel appearance, and it promoted a higher release of IM over a period of 28 days. All tested ISG formulations revealed cytotoxicity against HCT-116 and HT-29 cell lines at different incubation times. Thus, CO-loaded rosin-based ISG can act as a potentially sustainable IM delivery system for chemotherapy against colorectal cancer cells.

Rosin Derivative IDOAMP Inhibits Prostate Cancer Growth via Activating RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL Signaling Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9325973.

Abstract
Rosin derivatives such as dehydroabietic acid and dehydroabietic amine belonging to diterpenoids have similar structure with androgen that inhibited the occurrence and development of prostate cancer. In this study, the effects and possible mechanism of the rosin derivative IDOAMP on prostate cancer were investigated. Our results showed that IDOAMP effectively inhibited cell viabilities of LNCaP, PC3, and DU145 prostate cells. After the treatment with IDOAMP, the levels of cleaved-PARP, LC3BII/I, and HMGB1 were increased, whereas the expression of GPX4 was decreased. Interestingly, cell viability was reversed by the supplements of necrostatin-1 and necrosulfonamide. Meanwhile, the IDOAMP downregulated the expression of human Aurora kinase A that was overexpressed in prostate cancer. In addition, co-IP results showed that IDOAMP inhibited the binding of Aurora kinase A to the receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinase 1 (RIPK1) and RIPK3. However, the binding of RIPK1 to FADD, RIPK3, or MLKL was significantly promoted. Further studies showed that the phosphorylation levels of RIPK1, RIPK, and MLKL were increased in a concentration-dependent manner. In in vivo model, IDOAMP reduced the tumor volumes and weights. In conclusion, IDOAMP directly inhibited Aurora kinase A and promoted the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL necrosome activation to inhibit the prostate cancer.

Abstract
Abietic acid and its derivatives have broadly been used in fine chemicals and are renewable resources. Its inherent chiral rigid tricyclic phenanthrene skeleton is unique. Its utilities in asymmetric catalysis remain to be explored. A series new amide-type chiral quaternary ammoniums bearing dehydroabietylamine were designed, and prepared by two convenient steps. Acylation of dehydroabietylamine with bromoacetyl chloride afforded amide holding bromoacetyl group in higher yields using triethyl amine as base. Subsequent quaternization reaction gave the desired amide-type chiral quaternary ammoniums. The new chiral quaternary ammoniums can be used as phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) for the transition metal-catalysed alkynylation of isatin derivatives.

Abstract
The risk of infection arising from indirect sources-namely, contaminated surfaces-has been proved, particularly in healthcare facilities. In the attempt to minimize this problem, innumerable research projects involving the development of surfaces with self-disinfecting properties are being conducted. In this work, wall-paints with self-disinfecting properties were developed with the scope of being applied in environments prone to contamination, such as those at healthcare settings. Our approach was to develop new paint formulations containing two natural plant-based products with known antimicrobial activity-colophony (CLF) and curcumin (CUR). The natural substances were separately incorporated on a commercial paint and their antibacterial activity was evaluated with several bacterial species following ISO 22196. To assess the paints' safety, cytotoxicity tests were performed on HaCaT and A549 cell lines, using tests on extracts and direct contact tests, as suggested by the standardized protocol ISO 10993. In general, both paints containing CLF and CUR were able to reduce the bacterial growth after 24 h, compared with the control, the commercial unmodified paint. Colophony was even able to reduce the number of culturable bacteria by over 2 log for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus cereus. Regarding the cytotoxicity tests performed (WST-1, NRU, and LDH), both formulations revealed promising results regardless of the methodology used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND METHODS Chemotherapy remains one of the most important methods for the treatment of cancer. More recently in this context, some products derived from natural products have raised scientific interest which especially include many terpenes. Thereby, diterpenoids represent a special class, and within this class of important secondary natural products, especially compounds derived from Dehydroabietylamine (DA), are of particular interest. RESULTS This review not only gives a summary of the most important findings on the cytotoxic behavior of DAderived compounds but also shows some drawbacks of these compounds, such low bioavailability and/or poor solubility of several derivatives of DA. It focusses on the chemical aspects and summarizes the DA related biological effects without deep discussion of underlying biochemical pathways. CONCLUSION Dehydroabietylamine-derived cytotoxic compounds hold a high potential to be developed into efficient antitumor active drugs.

Abstract
Pinus kesiya Royle ex Gordon (PK), widely found in Southeast Asia, has been traditionally used for the treatment of several illnesses. Our previous studies showed that PK was highly cytotoxicity against liver cancer cells. The detailed mechanism of anticancer action of 50% hydro-ethanolic extract of PK's twig was, therefore, investigated in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Cytotoxicity of PK was determined by using NR assay, followed by determination of the mode of cell death by flow cytometry. The apoptosis-inducing effect was determined based on caspases activity, mitochondria membrane potential change, and expression of proteins related to apoptosis by western blot. The biomolecular alteration in the PK-treated HepG2 cells was investigated by FTIR microspectroscopy. Inhibition of topoisomerase I enzyme was determined by using DNA relaxation assay. Results showed that PK displayed high selective cytotoxicity and induced apoptosis against HepG2. FTIR microspectroscopy indicated that PK altered major biomolecules in HepG2 different from melphalan (a positive control), indicating a different mechanism of anticancer action. PK induced apoptotic cell death through the intrinsic pathway by increasing caspases 9 and 3/7 activity, increasing Bax, and decreasing Bcl-2 expression leading to mitochondrial membrane potential changes. PK also inhibited Top I and PARP activity that triggered an intrinsic apoptotic pathway. The phytochemical test presented terpenoids (i.e., α-pinene confirmed by GC-MS), alkaloids, steroids, xanthone, reducing sugar, and saponin. α-Pinene exhibited low cytotoxicity against HepG2, therefore, several terpene derivatives may work synergistically for inducing apoptosis. Our data demonstrated that PK has the potential for further study with chemotherapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Ceranib-2 is a recently discovered, poorly water-soluble potent ceramidase inhibitor, with the ability to suppress cancer cell proliferation and delay tumor growth. However, its poor water solubility and weak cellular bioavailability hinder its use as a therapeutic agent for cancer. PEGylated rosin esters are an excellent platform as a natural polymer for drug delivery applications, especially for controlling drug release due to their degradability, biocompatibility, capability to improve solubility, and pharmacokinetics of potent drugs. In this study, stable aqueous amphiphilic submicron-sized PEG400-rosin ester-ceranib-2 (PREC-2) particles, ranging between 100 and 350 nm in a 1:1 mixture, were successfully synthesized by solvent evaporation mediated by sonication.Conclusion: Stable aqueous PEGylated rosin ester nanocarriers might present a significant solution to improve solubility, pharmacokinetic, and bioavailability of ceranib-2, and hold promises for use as an anticancer adjacent drug after further investigations.

Abstract
Liver cancer has become the third type of cancer that causes death; this is why the design of new chemotherapeutic drugs against this disease is a major need. With this idea, a series of Dehydroabietic Acid-Based Acylhydrazones have been used to generate a CoMFA model to design new anticancer agents. In this study, we employed a Comparative Molecular Field Analysis studies, we performed those methods on Dehydroabietic Acid-Based Acylhydrazones against HepG2 human cancer cell line. The statistical results are encouraging with Q2 equal to 0.527 and R2 equal to 0.962. The predictive ability of this model was determined using a test set of Dehydroabietic Acid-Based Acylhydrazones that gave an acceptable predictive correlation (R2test) value of 0.614. The developed model guides to design five new molecules with enhanced activity as potential drugs. On the other hand to determine a potential target to these ligands we have established a virtual screening using reverse docking with the most active molecule and 42 antiproliferative targets. Based on the affinity of complex ligand-Target, the intracellular domain of EGFR shows high stability. This suggests that our designed molecules can inhibit the target EGFR which is an important target on targeted therapy of many types of cancer.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
A new class of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) inhibitors was found among resin acid derivatives. Several novel ureas and thioureas derived from dehydroabietylamine were synthesized and tested for TDP1 inhibition. The synthesized compounds showed IC50 values in the range of 0.1 to 3.7 μM and demonstrated low cytotoxicity against the human tumor cell lines U-937, U-87MG, MDA-MB, SK-Mel8, A-549, MCF7, T98G, and SNB19. Several compounds showed enhancement of the cytotoxic activity of the alkylating agent temozolomide, which is used as a first line therapy against glioblastoma (GBM), in the GBM cell lines U-87MG and SNB19.

Methanolic Extract of Artemia salina Eggs and Various Fractions in Different Solvents Contain Potent Compounds That Decrease Cell Viability of Colon and Skin Cancer Cell Lines and Show Antibacterial Activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2019; 2019:9528256. [PMID: 31198432 PMCID: PMC6526577 DOI: 10.1155/2019/9528256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2019] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Artemia salina, crustaceans of class Branchiopoda and order Anostraca, are living and reproducing only in highly saline natural lakes and in other reservoirs where sea water is evaporated to produce salt. Artemia salina eggs can be purchased from pet stores, where they are sold as tropical fish food and a ready source for hatching shrimp. In the current study, methanolic crude extracts and various fractions of Artemia salina eggs extracted in other solvents were tested for effects on cell viability of human colorectal cancer cells (HCT116) and melanoma cells (B16F10) using an MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. A methanolic crude extract of eggs was obtained by cold maceration, followed by fractionation to obtain hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and aqueous fractions. The methanolic crude extract decreased cell viability of HCT-116 and B16F10 cell lines at higher concentrations. The other fractions were evaluated using a cell viability assay, and chloroform and hexane showed the highest activity at significantly lower concentrations than did the methanolic fraction. Full scan profiles of the methanolic crude extract and the chloroform and hexane fractions were obtained by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the resultant compounds were identified by comparing their spectral data to those available in spectral matching libraries. ROS generation assay, flow cytometry, and western blot analysis provided supporting evidence that the hexane and chloroform fractions induced cell death in HCT116 and B16-F10 cell lines. All fractions were further tested for antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, among which the hexane fraction showed the highest zone of inhibition on LB nutrient agar plates. This study demonstrated promising anticancer and antibacterial effects of Artemia salina egg extracts. Our results suggest that pure bioactive compounds obtained from Artemia salina eggs can provide new insights into the mechanisms of colon and skin cancer, as well as Pseudomonas aeruginosa inhibition.

Abstract
A comprehensive review of the publications about rosin-based chemicals has been compiled. Rosin, or colophony, is a natural, abundant, cheap and non-toxic raw material which can be easily modified to obtain numerous useful products, which makes it an excellent subject of innovative research, attracting growing interest in recent years. The last extensive review in this research area was published in 2008, so the current article contains the most promising, repeatable achievements in synthesis of rosin-derived chemicals, published in scientific literature from 2008 to 2018. The first part of the review includes low/medium molecule weight compounds: Especially intermediates, resins, monomers, curing agents, surfactants, medications and biocides. The second part is about macromolecules: mainly elastomers, polymers for biomedical applications, coatings, adhesives, surfactants, sorbents, organosilicons and polysaccharides. In conclusion, a critical evaluation of the publications in terms of data completeness has been carried out with an indication of the most promising directions of rosin-based chemicals development.

Dehydroabietic oximes halt pancreatic cancer cell growth in the G1 phase through induction of p27 and downregulation of cyclin D1. Sci Rep 2018; 8:15923.

Abstract
Low 5-year survival rates, increasing incidence, as well as the specific challenges of targeting pancreatic cancer, clearly support an urgent need for new multifunctional drugs for the prevention and treatment of this fatal disease. Natural products, such as abietane-type diterpenoids, are widely studied as promiscuous anticancer agents. In this study, dehydroabietic oximes were identified as potential compounds to target pancreatic cancer and cancer-related inflammation. The compounds inhibited the growth of human pancreatic cancer Aspc-1 cells with IC50 values in the low micromolar range and showed anti-inflammatory activity, measured as the inhibition of nitric oxide production, an important inflammatory mediator in the tumour microenvironment. Further studies revealed that the compounds were able to induce cancer cell differentiation and concomitantly downregulate cyclin D1 expression with upregulation of p27 levels, consistent with cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Moreover, a kinase profiling study showed that one of the compounds has isoform-selective, however modest, inhibitory activity on RSK2, an AGC kinase that has been implicated in cellular invasion and metastasis.

Abstract
A new furostane steroidal saponin was isolated from the leaves of Agave angustifolia var. marginata. On the basis of chemical conversions and spectroscopic analyses, its structure was established as 3-[O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-O]-[O-6-deoxy-α-l-mannopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d-galactopyranosyl)oxy]-(3β,5α,22α,25R)-26-(β-d-glucopyranosyloxy)-22-methoxy-furostane (1). Results of preliminary biological investigations indicated that compound 1 showed significant protective effects against induced gastric ulcers using in vivo experimental models and demonstrated negligible toxicity on membrane integrity in the in vitro assays.

Abstract
A concise and efficient synthetic approach has been established to readily access a series of novel C-14 1,2,3-triazole-tethered dehydroabietic acid derivatives in moderate to high yields. In vitro antiproliferative activity evaluation indicated that most of the hybrids exhibited potent inhibitory activities in a variety of cancer cell lines with low micromolar to submicromolar IC50 values. Further studies demonstrated that some of these analogues such as 20, 21, and 24 were also effective against adriamycin-resistant MCF-7 clone at low concentrations in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, the most potent compound 24, which possesses a 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)phenyl-substituted triazole moiety, not only exhibited obviously improved IC50 values ranging from 0.7 to 1.2 μM against a panel of tested cancer cells, but also showed very weak cytotoxicity on normal cells. Preliminary mechanism studies indicated that compound 24 could induce apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells and was worth developing into a novel natural product-like anticancer lead by proper structure modification.

Abstract
A series of DHAA thiourea derivatives containing bisphosphonate moiety were designed and synthesized as potent antitumor agents. Structures of target molecules were confirmed using HR-MS, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR and they exhibited potent anti-tumor activities against the SK-OV-3, BEL-7404, A549, HCT-116 and NCI-H460 tumor cell lines in vitro. Especially, compound 6e (IC50 = 1.79 ± 0.43 μM) exhibited the best anticancer activity against SK-OV-3 cell line. Its role as an inducer of apoptosis was investigated in this cell line by Annexin-V/PI binding assay and by following its capability for ROS generation, depolarization of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, activation of caspases and expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins. Elevated level of ROS generation, activation of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and Fas, higher expression of Bax, lower expression of Bcl-2, and increased level of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio identified 6e as a promising inducer of apoptosis that follows both of the mitochondria dependent pathway and the death receptor-mediated pathway. In addition, the cell cycle analysis indicated that compound 6e caused cell cycle arrest at G1 phase, induced apoptosis and led to cell death by increasing the proportion of sub-G1 cells. Furthermore, molecular docking studies showed that 6e could bind to the ATP pocket sites.

In the title compound, C26H37NO, a new derivative of dihydroabietic acid, the two cyclohexene rings adopt half chair conformations, whereas the cyclohexane ring has a chair conformation. Each of the methyl groups is in an axial position with respect to the tricyclic hydrophenanthrene residue. In the crystal packing, methylene-C—H...π(phenyl) interactions lead to supramolecular helical chains along [010]; the amide-H atom does not form a significant intermolecular interaction owing to steric pressure.

Abstract
AbstractA series of piperazine- and cyclen-conjugated dehydroabietylamine derivatives were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The in vitro antitumor activities of conjugates 10–13 against MCF-7 and HepG-2 tumor cell lines were evaluated using CCK-8 assay. The results show that the synthesized compounds cause a dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation and display different antitumor activities with the IC50 values ranging from 23.56 to 78.92 μm. Moreover, the antitumor activity of conjugate 10 against the MCF-7 cell line is superior to that of the positive control 5-fluorouracil. In addition, flow cytometric assay revealed that the representative conjugate 10 could induce apoptosis in MCF-7 tumor cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
A series of new N-substituted 1H-dibenzo[a,c]carbazole derivatives were synthesized from dehydroabietic acid, and their structures were characterized by IR, (1)H NMR and HRMS spectral data. All compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against four bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens) and three fungi (Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis and Aspergillus niger) by serial dilution technique. Some of the synthesized compounds displayed pronounced antimicrobial activity against tested strains with low MIC values ranging from 0.9 to 15.6μg/ml. Among them, compounds 6j and 6r exhibited potent inhibitory activity comparable to reference drugs amikacin and ketoconazole.
