Mining Therapeutic Efficacy from Treasure Chest of Biodiversity and Chemodiversity: Pharmacophylogeny of Ranunculales Medicinal Plants. Chin J Integr Med 2022; 28:1111-1126.

Abstract
Ranunculales, comprising of 7 families that are rich in medicinal species frequently utilized by traditional medicine and ethnomedicine, represents a treasure chest of biodiversity and chemodiversity. The phylogenetically related species often have similar chemical profile, which makes them often possess similar therapeutic spectrum. This has been validated by both ethnomedicinal experiences and pharmacological investigations. This paper summarizes molecular phylogeny, chemical constituents, and therapeutic applications of Ranunculales, i.e., a pharmacophylogeny study of this representative medicinal order. The phytochemistry/metabolome, ethnomedicine and bioactivity/pharmacology data are incorporated within the phylogenetic framework of Ranunculales. The most studied compounds of this order include benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, flavonoid, terpenoid, saponin and lignan, etc. Bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids are especially abundant in Berberidaceae and Menispermaceae. The most frequent ethnomedicinal uses are arthritis, heat-clearing and detoxification, carbuncle-abscess and sore-toxin. The most studied bioactivities are anticancer/cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities, etc. The pharmacophylogeny analysis, integrated with both traditional and modern medicinal uses, agrees with the molecular phylogeny based on chloroplast and nuclear DNA sequences, in which Ranunculales is divided into Ranunculaceae, Berberidaceae, Menispermaceae, Lardizabalaceae, Circaeasteraceae, Papaveraceae, and Eupteleaceae families. Chemical constituents and therapeutic efficacy of each taxonomic group are reviewed and the underlying connection between phylogeny, chemodiversity and clinical uses is revealed, which facilitate the conservation and sustainable utilization of Ranunculales pharmaceutical resources, as well as developing novel plant-based pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Four previously undescribed compounds, including three glucosyloxybenzyl 2-isobutylmalates (1-3), one phenolic glycoside (4), along with ten known compounds were isolated from the flowers of Bletilla striata. The structures and absolute configurations of the undescribed compounds were elucidated on the basis of HR-ESIMS, NMR spectroscopy, optical rotation value, and acid hydrolysis experiment. Cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds against A549, HCT-116, and SW1990 cells and protective effects of t-BHP-induced L02 cytotoxic were assayed. The antioxidant activities of the isolated compounds were also evaluated.

Topic use of Annona crassiflora Mart. contributes to wound healing due to the antioxidant and proliferative effects of fibroblasts. Injury 2022; 53:844-857. [PMID: 34920876 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2021.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2021] [Revised: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Annona crassiflora Mart. is a species native to the Cerrado biome, whose fruit is known as araticum or marolo. Plant parts are widely used in folk medicine to treat inflammation and pain associated with rheumatism, wounds, venereal diseases, snakebites, and microbial infections. Thus, we investigated a fraction rich in phenolic compounds (PCAc) obtained from the crude extract of the peel of these fruits on non-cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and collagen biosynthesis properties in the healing of wounds induced on the back of BALB/c mice. For the control group, the induced wounds were not treated and for the others, wounds were treated topically with vehicle or vehicle plus PCAc. Both fractions contained in PCAc demonstrated effective protection on fibroblasts. We highlight the effect of the ethyl acetate fraction which, in addition to the protective effect, has a proliferative activity on these cells. In addition, PCAc caused improvement in healing after 7 days of treatment and in the longest period of treatment with PCAc (7, 14, and 21 days) there was a greater contraction of the wound, accompanied by resolution of the inflammatory process, antioxidant defense, increasing collagen synthesis, and modulation of metalloproteinases. PCAc demonstrated better re-epithelialization and organization of the dermis at the end of treatment. The changes promoted by the phenolic compounds of A. crassiflora were important in the healing process, especially in activities related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrogenesis.

Abstract
Two new pyrrole alkaloids methyl-E-mangolamide (1) and methyl-Z-mangolamide (2), four new megastigmane glycosides nandinamegastigmanes I-IV (3-6), and eight known compounds (7-14) were isolated from the methanol extract of the fruits of Nandina domestica. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated based on chemical and spectroscopic evidence. The absolute stereochemistry of nandinamegastigmane I (3) was established upon comparing the experimental and predicted electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data. Among the isolated compounds, 1 and 2 showed cell death-inducing activity on the Adriamycin-treated HeLa cells. In addition, one of the mechanisms for cell death-inducing activity of 1 and 2 was suggested as inhibition of P-glycoprotein.

Abstract
Caffeic acid was modified via transglucosylation using sucrose and dextransucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512FMCM. Following enzymatic modification, a caffeic acid glucoside was isolated by butanol separation, silica gel chromatography, and preparative HPLC. The synthesized caffeic acid glucoside had a molecular mass-to-charge ratio of 365 m/z, and its structure was identified as caffeic acid-3-O-α-d-glucopyranoside. The production of this caffeic acid-3-O-α-d-glucopyranoside at a concentration of 153 mM was optimized using 325 mM caffeic acid, 355 mM sucrose, and 650 mU mL-1 dextransucrase in the synthesis reaction. In comparison with the caffeic acid, the caffeic acid-3-O-α-d-glucopyranoside displayed 3-fold higher water solubility, 1.66-fold higher antilipid peroxidation effect, 15% stronger inhibition of colon cancer cell growth, and 11.5-fold higher browning resistance. These results indicate that this caffeic acid-3-O-α-d-glucopyranoside may be a suitable functional component of food and pharmaceutical products.

Abstract
CONTEXT Solidago virgaurea L. (Asteraceae) is traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory for the treatment of various symptoms including cystitis. However, little is known concerning the constituents responsible for this activity and the mechanism of their action. OBJECTIVE To assess the anti-inflammatory activity of the phenolic-rich fraction of S. virgaurea aerial parts in rats, isolate and assess the activity of the major compounds present. MATERIALS AND METHODS An HPLC method was developed for the analysis of the phenolic-rich fraction (EtFr). The in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of the EtFr and four isolated compounds (at 25 and 50 mg/kg) were assessed in adult male rats using the carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema model. The levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) were measured using ELISA. RESULTS 3,5-O-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (1), 3,4-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (2), 3,4,5-O-tricaffeoylquinic acid (3) and 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (4) were isolated from EtFr. Compound 3 (50 mg/kg) showed a highly significant activity in inhibiting the oedema volume after 3 h (88% of the activity of indomethacin at 10 mg/kg). The EtFr and the isolated compounds largely inhibited the excessive production of the inflammatory mediators TNF-α and IL-1β. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This is the first report of 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3) in Solidago species. The tricaffeoylquinic acid (3) showed a significantly higher activity than the other three dicaffeoylquinic acids (1, 2, 4) and indomethacin in reduction of TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations (8.44 ± 0.62 and 5.83 ± 0.57 pg/mL compared to 12.60 ± 1.30 and 52.91 ± 5.20 pg/mL induced by indomethacin, respectively).
