ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:14356-14367. [PMID: 38559960 PMCID: PMC10976377 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c10439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Oat saponins are composed of triterpenoid and steroidal saponins, and their potential biological activities, such as antibacterial, antifungicidal, osteogenic, and anticancer activities, have been reported. In this study, qualitative and quantitative analyses of oat saponins were conducted by using UPLC-QToF-MS and UPLC-Triple Q-MS/MS. A total of 22 saponins were analyzed in seven Korean oat cultivars. Among them, 7 saponins were identified as new compounds in this source, which were tentatively confirmed as nuatigenin-type saponins with 26-O-diglucoside and 3-O-malonylglucoside forms and (25S)-furost-5-en-3β,22,26-triol-type saponins. In addition, the total content of these saponins ranged from 70.61 to 141.38 mg/100 g dry weight, and it was affected by the type of oat cultivar and the presence or absence of hulling. These detailed profiles will be suggested as fundamental data for breeding superior oat cultivars, evaluating of related products, and various industries.

[PMID: 36709667 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Based on the natural product terpestacin, seventeen derivatives (1-17) with various l-amino acid side chains were designed and synthesized. Their anticancer activities against U87MG-derived glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) were evaluated, and compounds 5, 11, 13 and 15 showed strong abilities to inhibit the proliferation (IC50 = 2.8-6.9 μM) and tumorsphere formation of GSCs. Besides, compounds 13 and 15 could effectively induce apoptosis and significantly inhibit the invasion of GSCs (95 and 97 % inhibition, respectively, at 2.5 μM). The levels of CD133 marker in GSCs also decreased in dose-dependent manners after the treatment of these active compounds. Compared to terpestacin and the positive control A1938, our derivatives showed stronger activities and compounds 13 and 15 are promising candidates for further development as anticancer agents by targeting GSCs.

Abstract
A phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of T. delavayi led to the isolation of five new dimeric benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, thalidelavines A-E (1-5), together with six known congeners (6-11). The structures and absolute configurations of new compounds were established based on analyses of spectroscopic data, ECD calculations, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Thalidelavines A-E (1-5) were structurally complex bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids with various configurations. These isolated alkaloids were evaluated for their cytotoxic and immunosuppressive effects. Among them, both 9 and 10 displayed significant cytotoxicities against T98G cell lines with an IC50 value of 2.1 μM, compared with the positive CPT-11 (IC50 = 3.0 μM). In addition, 5-7 showed remarkable immunosuppressive effects. These findings not only enrich the structural diversity of bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, but also provide potential candidates for the further development of the antitumor and immunosuppressive agents.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 28:molecules28010295.

Abstract
Erdong Gao (EDG), consisting equally of roots of Asparagi Radix and Ophiopogonis Radix, is a well-known traditional Chinese formulation that has been used to treat cough and throat pain for centuries. However, the bioactive components in EDG remain to be elucidated. In this study, a rapid and effective method involving live cell bio-specific extraction and HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS was established to rapidly screen and identify the anti-inflammatory compounds of an EDG extract. One hundred and twenty-four components were identified in EDG extract using HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis. After co-incubation with 16HBE, HPAEpiCs and HUVECs, which have been validated as the key target cells for pulmonary diseases, sixteen components were demonstrated to exhibit an affinity for binding to them. Furthermore, fifteen components were subsequently verified to exert anti-inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced 16HBE, HPAEpiCs and HUVECs via inhibiting the release of TNF-α and IL-6, indicating that nine steroidal saponins may possess potential for the treatment of lung-related diseases. Taken together, our study provides evidence that live cell biospecific extraction combined with the HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS technique was an efficient method for rapid screening potential bioactive components in traditional Chinese medicines and the structure activity relationship of steroidal saponins in EDG was summarized for the first time.

Abstract
The chemical components and availability of Paris rugosa were investigated for the first time, using a UPLC-MS/MS-based molecular networking strategy and phytochemical research. Ultimately, eleven undescribed steroidal saponins, parisrugosides A-K, and ten known analogs were identified. Their structures were confirmed using comprehensive spectroscopic data and chemical methods. The aglycones of parisrugosides A-D are first spirostanes with an epoxy group at C-5/C-6, a hydroxy group at C-7, and a double bond at C-8/C-9 or C-8/C-14. Parisrugosides G and H possess an undescribed spirostane aglycone with two double bonds located at C-5/C-6 and C-8/C-9, which are conjugated with a carbonyl group at C-7. The isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines (human HL-60 leukemia, A549 lung, MCF-7 breast, SMMC-7721 liver, and SW480 colon solid cancer cell lines). Parisyunnanoside D, kingianoside K, and dichotomin displayed significant cytotoxicity against these cancer lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.50 to 19.58 μM.

Abstract
Cancer is claimed as a prevalent cause of mortality throughout the world. Conventional chemotherapy plays a pivotal role in the treatment of cancers, but the multidrug resistance has already become one of the major impediments for efficacious cancer therapy, creating a great demand for the development of novel anticancer drugs. Steroidal saponins, abundantly found in nature, possess extensive structural variability, and some naturally occurring steroidal saponins exhibited profound anticancer properties through a variety of pathways. Hence, naturally occurring steroidal saponins are powerful lead compounds/candidates in the development of novel therapeutic agents. This review article described the recent progress in naturally occurring steroidal saponins as potential anticancer agents, and the mechanisms of action were also discussed, covering articles published between 2017 and 2021.

Abstract
Saponins, a heterogeneous group of sterol and triterpene glycosides, are distributed widely in nature. Naturally occurring saponins could act on diverse targets in cancer cells and consequently exert potential antiproliferative effects in various cancers, including drug-resistant forms. Therefore, naturally occurring saponins are useful templates for the discovery of novel anticancer candidates. Covering articles published between January 2020 and October 2021, this review aims to outline the recent development of naturally occurring steroidal and triterpenoidal saponins with anticancer potential to provide novel anticancer lead hits/candidates.

Abstract
Abstract:
Saponins represent a category of diverse, natural glycoside molecules that belong to the triterpenoid or the steroid class. They vary in terms of their solubility and permeability characteristics and are classifiable based on the biopharmaceutics classification system. They have drug delivery potential as surfactants that can solubilize cholesterol in the plasma membrane of tumorigenic cells. Glioblastoma is an important malignancy that can aggressively afflict the brain of humans with a poor prognosis. Glioblastoma Stem Cells (GSCs), are an important subset of cancer cells and are major determinants for drug resistance and tumour relapse. These cells are quiescent and have been known to survive current therapeutic strategies. Certain saponins have shown potential to eliminate glioblastoma cells in a variety of model systems and hence provide a sound scientific basis for their development as a “stand-alone” drug or as part of a drug combination (from the existing arsenal of drugs) developed for the treatment of glioblastoma. However, due to their reactogenicity towards the immune system and hemolytic potential, selective delivery to the tumorigenic site is essential. Hence, nano-formulations (liposome/emulsion-based delivery systems/nano-structured lipid and calix[n]arenes-based carriers) and variants that are resistant to saponin may serve as delivery tools that can be functionalized to improve the selectivity. It is necessary to develop/validate/refine in vitro higher order models that replicate the features of the glioma microenvironment (BBB/BTB). Reproducible validation of the model as well as the drug/delivery system will help in the development of formulations that can augment cell death in this recalcitrant brain tumour.
