Chem Biol Interact 2024; 392:110923. [PMID: 38382706 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.110923] [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: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most toxic mycotoxin and a proven human carcinogen that requires metabolic activation, known by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2 and 3A4. Previous evidence showed that AFB1 is activated by human recombinant CYP1A1 expressed in budding yeast. Yet, the toxicity, in particular the genotoxicity of the reactive metabolites formed from AFB1 remains unclear. Humans could be exposed to both AFB1 and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) simultaneously, thus we were interested in their combined genotoxic effects subsequent to metabolic activation by CYP1A1. In this study, molecular docking of AFB1 to human CYP1A1 indicated that AFB1 is valid as a substrate. In the incubations with AFB1 in human CYP1A1-expressed microsomes, AFM1 as a marking metabolite of AFB1 was detected. Moreover, AFB1 induced micronucleus formation in a Chinese hamster V79-derived cell line and in a human lung epithelial BEAS-2B cell line, both expressing recombinant human CYP1A1, V79-hCYP1A1 and 2B-hCYP1A1 cells, respectively. Immunofluorescence of centromere protein B stained micronuclei was dominant in AFB1-treated BEAS-2B cells exposed to AFB1, suggesting an aneugenic effect. Moreover, AFB1 elevated the levels of ROS, 8-OHdG, AFB1-DNA adduct, and DNA breaks in 2B-hCYP1A1 cells, compared with those in the parental BEAS-2B cells. Meanwhile, AFB1 increased CYP1A1, RAD51, and γ-H2AX protein levels in 2B-hCYP1A1 cells, which were attenuated by the CYP1A1 inhibitor bergamottin. Co-exposure of AFB1 with BaP increased 8-OHdG, RAD51, and γ-H2AX levels (indicating DNA damage). In conclusion, AFB1 could be activated by human CYP1A1 for potent aneugenicity, which may be further enhanced by co-exposure to BaP.

Abstract
Mammalian cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) are key phase I xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes that play a distinctive role in metabolic activation or metabolic clearance of a variety of procarcinogens, drugs, and endogenous substances. Human CYP1A subfamily contains two members (hCYP1A1 and hCYP1A2), which are known to catalyze the oxidative activation of some environmental procarcinogens into carcinogenic species. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that CYP1A inhibitor therapies are promising strategies for cancer chemoprevention or overcoming CYP1A-associated drug toxicity and resistance. Herein, we reviewed recent advances in the discovery and characterization of hCYP1A inhibitors, from the discovery approaches to structural features and biomedical applications of hCYP1A inhibitors. The inhibition potentials, inhibition modes, and inhibition constants of all reported hCYP1A inhibitors are comprehensively summarized. Meanwhile, the structural features and structure-activity relationships of different classes of hCYP1A1 and hCYP1A2 inhibitors are analyzed and discussed in depth. Furthermore, the major challenges and future directions for this field are presented and highlighted. Collectively, the information and knowledge presented here will strongly facilitate the researchers to discover and develop more efficacious CYP1A inhibitors for specific purposes, such as chemo-preventive agents or as tool molecules in hCYP1A-related fundamental studies.

Abstract
1. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic of concomitant administration of atorvastatin with bergamottin were investigated perspectives to reveal the potential herb-drug interaction between these two drugs.2. The hyperlipidaemia-induced Wistar rats received atorvastatin with or without bergamottin (2.5 mg/kg). The concentration of atorvastatin in the rats' serum was determined using an established HPLC/MS/MS method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using DAS software. Lipid levels were determined.3. Bergamottin increases the Cmax (from 48 ± 5 ng/mL to 89 ± 7 ng/mL), AUC0-∞ (from 176 ± 27 to 552 ± 131 h∗μg/L), and the elimination half-life of atorvastatin (t1/2) of atorvastatin. Co-administration of atorvastatin with bergamottin decreased total cholesterol (by 14%), low-density lipoproteins-cholesterol (by 20%), and triglyceride (by 12%), but increased thigh-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, when compared with atorvastatin alone.4. Co-administration of bergamottin and atorvastatin alters both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of atorvastatin. This study provides pre-clinical information evidence that bergamottin could potentiate the therapeutic efficacy of atorvastatin or increase its accumulation and adverse effects.

Hepatic CYP3A4 Enzyme Compensatively Maintains Endogenous Geranylgeranoic Acid Levels in MAOB-Knockout Human Hepatoma Cells. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12020140. [PMID: 35208214 PMCID: PMC8880059 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12020140] [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: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Geranylgeranoic acid (GGA), developed as a preventive agent against second primary hepatoma, has been reported to be biosynthesized via the mevalonate pathway in human hepatoma-derived cells. Recently, we found that monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) catalyzed the oxidation of geranylgeraniol (GGOH) to produce geranylgeranial (GGal), a direct precursor of endogenous GGA in hepatoma cells, using tranylcypromine, an inhibitor of MAOs, and knockdown by MAOB siRNA. However, endogenous GGA level was unexpectedly unchanged in MAOB-knockout (KO) cells established using the CRISPR-Cas9 system, suggesting that some other latent metabolic pathways maintain endogenous GGA levels in the MAOB-KO cells. Here, we investigated the putative latent enzymes that oxidize GGOH in Hep3B/MAOB-KO cells. First, the broad-specific cytochrome P450 enzyme inhibitors decreased the amount of endogenous GGA in Hep3B/MAOB-KO cells in a dose-dependent manner. Second, among the eight members of cytochrome P450 superfamily that have been suggested to be involved in the oxidation of isoprenols and/or retinol in previous studies, only the CYP3A4 gene significantly upregulated its cellular mRNA level in Hep3B/MAOB-KO cells. Third, a commercially available recombinant human CYP3A4 enzyme was able to oxidize GGOH to GGal, and fourth, the knockdown of CYP3A4 by siRNA significantly reduced the amount of endogenous GGA in Hep3B/MAOB-KO cells. These results indicate that CYP3A4 can act as an alternative oxidase for GGOH when hepatic MAOB is deleted in the human hepatoma-derived cell line Hep3B, and that endogenous GGA levels are maintained by a multitude of enzymes.

Abstract
Cold pressed essential oil (CPEO) of mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco), a by-product of the juice-making industrial process known to contain large amounts of polymethoxyflavones, was exploited for its content in high added value natural coumarins. The study herein afforded a method referring to the evaporation of CPEO volatile fraction under mild conditions (reduced pressure and temperature below 35 °C) as azeotrope with isopropanol. This allowed the isolation of high added value coumarins from the non-volatile fragment using preparative High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Pilot-scale application of this procedure afforded for each kg of CPEO processed the following natural bioactive coumarins in chemically pure forms: heraclenol (38-55 mg), 8-gerayloxypsoralen (35-51 mg), auraptene (22-33 mg), and bergamottin (14-19 mg). The structures of coumarins were verified by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and HPLC co-injection with authentic standards. Thus, the low market value mandarin CPEO with current value of 17 to 22 EUR/kg can be valorized through the production of four highly bioactive natural compounds worth 3479 to 5057 EUR/kg, indicating the great potentials of this methodology in the terms of the circular economy.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American men. Several therapies have been developed to treat advanced prostate cancer, but these therapies often have severe side effects. To improve the outcome with fewer side effects we focused on the furanocoumarin bergamottin, a natural product found in grapefruit juice and a potent CYP3A inhibitor. Our recent studies have shown that CYP3A5 inhibition can block androgen receptor (AR) signaling, critical for prostate cancer growth. We observed that bergamottin reduces prostate cancer (PC) cell growth by decreasing both total and nuclear AR (AR activation) reducing downstream AR signaling. Bergamottin’s role in reducing AR activation was confirmed by confocal microscopy studies and reduction in prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, which is a marker for prostate cancer. Further studies revealed that bergamottin promotes cell cycle block and accumulates G0/G1 cells. The cell cycle block was accompanied with reduction in cyclin D, cyclin B, CDK4, P-cdc2 (Y15) and P-wee1 (S642). We also observed that bergamottin triggers apoptosis in prostate cancer cell lines as evident by TUNEL staining and PARP cleavage. Our data suggests that bergamottin may suppress prostate cancer growth, especially in African American (AA) patients carrying wild type CYP3A5 often presenting aggressive disease.

Abstract
Bergamottin (BGM) is a major furanocoumarin constituent of grapefruit and is reported to have inhibitory effects on cytochrome P450 enzymes. This study investigated the chemical interactions between BGM and the enzyme CYP2C9. BGM exhibited time-, concentration-, and NADPH-dependent inhibition of CYP2C9. Co-incubation with diclofenac, a reversible inhibitor of CYP2C9, attenuated the time-dependent enzyme inhibition. Exhaustive dialysis did not restore enzyme activity post-inhibition. Glutathione (GSH) and catalase/superoxide dismutase failed to reverse BGM-induced CYP2C9 inactivation. A GSH trapping study suggested that BGM was metabolized to an epoxide and/or γ-ketoenal that may have been responsible for the enzyme inactivation. In conclusion, BGM can be characterized as a mechanism-based inactivator of CYP2C9 acting via the formation of an epoxide and/or γ-ketoenal.

Abstract
In the course of our research to investigate the cancer prevention potency of natural products derived from plant materials, we isolated fifty-five compounds, including twenty-one new compounds from the peels of Citrus limon, aerial parts of Isodon japonicus, and leaves of Lansium domesticum. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by chemical/physicochemical evidence, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry results. Moreover, the absolute stereochemistry of the new compounds were elucidated by various techniques such as chemical synthesis, modified Mosher’s method, Cu-Kα X-ray crystallographic analysis, and comparison of experimental and predicted electronic circular dichroism data. The antimutagenic effects of the isolated and structure-elucidated compounds against heterocyclic amines, 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido [4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-1) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), were evaluated by the Ames test and in vivo micronucleus test. In this review, we present the comprehensive results of the antimutagenic effects of the isolated natural products.

Abstract
Bergamottin (BM, 1), a component of grapefruit juice, acts as an inhibitor of some isoforms of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme, particularly CYP3A4. Herein, a new bergamottin containing a nitroxide moiety (SL-bergamottin, SL-BM, 10) was synthesized; chemically characterized, evaluated as a potential inhibitor of the CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and CYP2C9 enzymes; and compared to BM and known inhibitors such as ketoconazole (KET) (3A4), warfarin (WAR) (2C9), and ticlopidine (TIC) (2C19). The antitumor activity of the new SL-bergamottin was also investigated. Among the compounds studied, BM showed the strongest inhibition of the CYP2C9 and 2C19 enzymes. SL-BM is a more potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 than the parent compound; this finding was also supported by docking studies, suggesting that the binding positions of BM and SL-BM to the active site of CYP3A4 are very similar, but that SL-BM had a better ∆Gbind value than that of BM. The nitroxide moiety markedly increased the antitumor activity of BM toward HeLa cells and marginally increased its toxicity toward a normal cell line. In conclusion, modification of the geranyl sidechain of BM can result in new CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors with strong antitumor effects.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the inhibitory effects of bergamottin on melanogenesis in B16F10 murine melanoma cells, together with its effects on the mechanism of melanin synthesis. α-Melanocyte stimulating hormone-stimulated B16F10 cells were treated with various concentrations of bergamottin, with arbutin as a positive control. Bergamottin significantly decreased the melanin content and tyrosinase activity without showing any cytotoxicity. In addition, bergamottin treatment significantly downregulated the expression of tyrosinase-related protein-1,2 and tyrosinase by suppressing the expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor. The phosphorylation status of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and protein kinase B (AKT) was examined to determine the mechanism underlying the antimelanogenic effects of bergamottin. Bergamottin treatment increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and AKT, but decreased the phosphorylation of p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase in the B16F10 cells. Moreover, the use of PD98059 (ERK inhibitor) and LY294002 (AKT inhibitor) corroborated these findings, indicating that bergamottin inhibits melanogenesis via the MAPKase and AKT signaling pathway. Thus, bergamottin has potential for treating hyperpigmentation disorders and can be a promising chemical for skin-whitening in the cosmetic industry.

Biomolecular Targets of Oxyprenylated Phenylpropanoids and Polyketides. PROGRESS IN THE CHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC NATURAL PRODUCTS 2019; 108:143-205. [PMID: 30924014 DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-01099-7_2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Oxyprenylated secondary metabolites (e.g. phenylpropanoids and polyketides) represent a rare class of natural compounds. Over the past two decades, this group of phytochemicals has become a topic of intense research activity by several teams worldwide due to their in vitro and in vivo pharmacological activities, and to their great therapeutic and nutraceutical potential for the chemoprevention of acute and chronic diseases affecting humans. Such investigations have provided evidence that oxyprenylated secondary metabolites are able to interact with several biological targets at different levels accounting for their observed anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, immunomodulatory, antihypertensive, and metabolic effects. The aim of the present contribution is to provide a detailed survey of the so far reported data on the capacities of selected oxyprenylated phenylpropanoids and polyketides to trigger receptors, enzymes, and other types of cellular factors for which they exhibit a high degree of affinity and therefore evoke specific responses. With respect to the rather small amounts of these compounds available from natural sources, their chemical synthesis is also highlighted.

Abstract
Expression of cytochrome P450-1A1 (CYP1A1) is suppressed under physiologic conditions but is induced (a) by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which can be metabolized by CYP1A1 to carcinogens, and (b) in majority of breast cancers. Hence, phytochemicals or dietary flavonoids, if identified as CYP1A1 inhibitors, may help in preventing PAH-mediated carcinogenesis and breast cancer. Herein, we have investigated the cancer chemopreventive potential of a flavonoid-rich Indian medicinal plant, Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre. Methanolic extract of its seeds inhibits CYP1A1 in CYP1A1-overexpressing normal human HEK293 cells, with IC50 of 0.6 µg/mL. Its secondary metabolites, the furanoflavonoids pongapin/lanceolatin B, inhibit CYP1A1 with IC50 of 20 nM. Although the furanochalcone pongamol inhibits CYP1A1 with IC50 of only 4.4 µM, a semisynthetic pyrazole-derivative P5b, has ∼10-fold improved potency (IC50, 0.49 μM). Pongapin/lanceolatin B and the methanolic extract of P. pinnata seeds protect CYP1A1-overexpressing HEK293 cells from B[a]P-mediated toxicity. Remarkably, they also block the cell cycle of CYP1A1-overexpressing MCF-7 breast cancer cells, at the G0-G1 phase, repress cyclin D1 levels and induce cellular-senescence. Molecular modeling studies demonstrate the interaction pattern of pongapin/lanceolatin B with CYP1A1. The results strongly indicate the potential of methanolic seed-extract and pongapin/lanceolatin B for further development as cancer chemopreventive agents.

Abstract
Human cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) is an extrahepatic enzyme involved in the monooxygenation of structurally diverse compounds ranging from natural products to drugs and protoxins. Because CYP1A1 has a role in human carcinogenesis, inhibiting its activity may potentially aid in cancer chemoprevention, whereas utilizing CYP1A1's oxidative activity could help selectively activate anticancer prodrugs. Such potential therapeutic purposes require detailed knowledge of CYP1A1's interactions with potential ligands. Known CYP1A1 ligands also vary substantially in size, and it has not been apparent from a single existing CYP1A1 structure how larger, structurally diverse ligands are accommodated within the enclosed active site. Here, two new X-ray structures with the natural product furanocoumarin bergamottin (at 2.85 Å resolution) and the lung cancer drug erlotinib (3.0 Å) revealed binding orientations consistent with the formation of innocuous metabolites and of toxic metabolites, respectively. They also disclosed local changes in the roof of the active site that enlarge the active site and ultimately form a channel to the protein exterior. Although further structural modifications would be required to accommodate the largest CYP1A1 ligands, knowing which components of the active site are malleable provides powerful information for those attempting to use computational approaches to predict compound binding and substrate metabolism by this clinically relevant monooxygenase.

Abstract
CYP1A1 is thought to mediate carcinogenesis in oral, lung and epithelial cancers. In order to identify a CYP1A1 inhibitor from an edible plant, 394 natural products in the IIIM's natural product repository were screened, at 10 μM concentration, using CYP1A1-Sacchrosomes™ (i.e. microsomal enzyme isolated from recombinant baker's yeast). Twenty-seven natural products were identified that inhibited 40-97% of CYP1A1's 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity. The IC50 values of the 'hits', belonging to different chemical scaffolds, were determined. Their selectivity was studied against a panel of 8 CYP-Sacchrosomes™. In order to assess cellular efficacy, the 'hits' were screened for their capability to inhibit CYP enzymes expressed within live recombinant human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells from plasmids encoding specific CYP genes (1A2, 1B1, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 3A4). Isopimpinellin (IN-475; IC50, 20 nM) and karanjin (IN-195; IC50, 30 nM) showed the most potent inhibition of CYP1A1 in human cells. Isopimpinellin is found in celery, parsnip, fruits and in the rind and pulp of limes whereas different parts of the Indian beech tree, which contain karanjin, have been used in traditional medicine. Both isopimpinellin and karanjin negate the cellular toxicity of CYP1A1-mediated benzo[a]pyrene. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations with CYP isoforms rationalize the observed trends in the potency and selectivity of isopimpinellin and karanjin.

Abstract
The essential oils of Citrus sinensis and Citrus latifolia showed antimycotic activity against Candida spp. isolated from the oral cavity; they are neither mutagenic on the Ames test nor cytotoxic. Their main components are R-(+)-limonene, β-thujene, α-myrcene and γ-terpinene. The aim of this work was to evaluate their antimutagenic and antioxidant capacities. Antimutagenic properties were evaluated against MNNG and ENNG on S. typhimurium TA100; against 2AA on strain TA98 and in front of 4NQO and NOR on strain TA102. Both were antimutagenic against MNNG (p < 0.001) but only C. latifolia was antimutagenic against ENNG (p < 0.001). Both presented antimutagenic activity against 2AA (p < 0.001). They were antioxidant against the ROS-generating compound 4NQO (p < 0.001) and the antibiotic NOR (p < 0.001). In the antioxidant evaluation, the activity in DPPH assay was in a range of 6–23% for C. sinensis and of 22–71% for C. latifolia. Both were antioxidant compared with BHT in β-carotene bleaching assay and were able to decreased apoptosis in HaCat cells stimulated with H2O2. The levels of intracellular superoxide ion were lower in the presence of both oils. In conclusion, the essential oils of C. sinensis and C. latifolia are antimutagenic against at least three types of mutagens and have antioxidants properties.

Abstract
Bergamottin is a natural furanocoumarin compound with weak polarity. Characterization and quantification of bergamottin were carried out in different fruit tissues of various citrus cultivars. Among the four citrus tissues tested, i.e., flavedo, albedo, segment membrane (SM), and juice sacs (JS) in eight citrus cultivars, the highest bergamottin content was found in the flavedo of Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck cv. Yongjiazaoxiangyou (YJZXY, 666.54 μg·g−1 DW). A combination of silica gel column chromatography and high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was established to efficiently purify bergamottin from the flavedo of YJZXY. Bergamottin showed significant antiproliferative activity on three cancer cell lines, i.e., human liver cancer HepG2, promyelocytic leukemia HL-60, and gastric cancer BGC-823 cells, which showed a marked inhibition effect on these cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, bergamottin significantly increased glucose consumption in HepG2 cells also in a dose-dependent manner, which is the first report of its potential in anti-diabetes applications.

Abstract
Persistent activation of signal transducers and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) has been closely related to growth, survival, proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis of various cancer cells, and thus its inhibition can be considered a potential therapeutic strategy. In this study, we investigated the role of bergamottin (BGM) obtained from grapefruit juice in abrogating the constitutive STAT3 activation in multiple myeloma (MM) cells. This suppression was mediated through the inhibition of phosphorylation of Janus-activated kinase (JAK) 1/2 and c-Src. Pervanadate reversed the BGM induced down-regulation of STAT3 activation, suggesting the involvement of a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP). Furthermore, BGM induced the expression of the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, and gene silencing of the SHP-1 by small interfering RNA abolished the ability of BGM to inhibit STAT3 activation, suggesting a critical role for SHP-1 in the action of BGM. BGM also downregulated the expression of STAT3-regulated gene products such as COX-2, VEGF, cyclin D1, survivin, IAP-1, Bcl-2, and Bcl-xl in MM cells. This correlated with induction of substantial apoptosis as indicated by an increase in the sub-G1 cell population and caspase-3 induced PARP cleavage. Also, this agent significantly potentiated the apoptotic effects of bortezomib and thalidomide in MM cells. Overall, these results suggest that BGM is a novel blocker of STAT3 activation pathway thus may have a potential in therapy of MM and other cancers.

Abstract
With the widespread use of O-alkoxyresorufin dealkylation assays since the 1990s, thousands of inhibitors of cytochrome P450 family 1 enzymes (P450s 1A1, 1A2, and 1B1) have been identified and studied. Generally, planar polycyclic molecules such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, stilbenoids, and flavonoids are considered to potentially be effective inhibitors of these enzymes, however, the details of the structure-activity relationships and selectivity of these inhibitors are still ambiguous. In this review, we thoroughly discuss the selectivity of many representative P450 family 1 inhibitors reported in the past 20 years through a meta-analysis.

Abstract
The main aim of this study was to isolate and characterize the active compounds from the hexane extract of the fruit peels of Citrus aurantiifolia, which showed activity against one sensitive and three monoresistant (isoniazid, streptomycin or ethambutol) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The active extract was fractionated by column chromatography, yielding the following major compounds: 5-geranyloxypsoralen (1); 5-geranyloxy-7-methoxycoumarin (2); 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin (3); 5-methoxypsoralen (4); and 5,8-dimethoxypsoralen (5). The structures of these compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. In addition, GC-MS analysis of the hexane extract allowed the identification of 44 volatile compounds, being 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin (15.79%), 3-methyl-1,2-cyclopentanedione (8.27%), 1-methoxy-ciclohexene (8.0%), corylone (6.93%), palmitic acid (6.89%), 5,8-dimethoxypsoralen (6.08%), a-terpineol (5.97%), and umbelliferone (4.36%), the major constituents. Four isolated coumarins and 16 commercial compounds identified by GC-MS were tested against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and three multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis strains using the Microplate Alamar Blue Assay. The constituents that showed activity against all strains were 5 (MICs = 25-50 mg/mL), 1 (MICs = 50-100 mg/mL), palmitic acid (MICs = 25-50 mg/mL), linoleic acid (MICs = 50-100 mg/mL), oleic acid (MICs = 100 mg/mL), 4-hexen-3-one (MICs = 50-100 mg/mL), and citral (MICs = 50-100 mg/mL). Compound 5 and palmitic acid were the most active ones. The antimycobacterial activity of the hexane extract of C. aurantifolia could be attributed to these compounds.
