A review of natural products and small-molecule therapeutics acting on central nervous system malignancies: Approaches for drug development, targeting pathways, clinical trials, and challenges. Drug Dev Res 2024; 85:e22180. [PMID: 38680103 DOI: 10.1002/ddr.22180] [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: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
In 2021, the World Health Organization released the fifth edition of the central nervous system (CNS) tumor classification. This classification uses histopathology and molecular pathogenesis to group tumors into more biologically and molecularly defined entities. The prognosis of brain cancer, particularly malignant tumors, has remained poor worldwide, approximately 308,102 new cases of brain and other CNS tumors were diagnosed in the year 2020, with an estimated 251,329 deaths. The cost and time-consuming nature of studies to find new anticancer agents makes it necessary to have well-designed studies. In the present study, the pathways that can be targeted for drug development are discussed in detail. Some of the important cellular origins, signaling, and pathways involved in the efficacy of bioactive molecules against CNS tumorigenesis or progression, as well as prognosis and common approaches for treatment of different types of brain tumors, are reviewed. Moreover, different study tools, including cell lines, in vitro, in vivo, and clinical trial challenges, are discussed. In addition, in this article, natural products as one of the most important sources for finding new chemotherapeutics were reviewed and over 700 reported molecules with efficacy against CNS cancer cells are gathered and classified according to their structure. Based on the clinical trials that have been registered, very few of these natural or semi-synthetic derivatives have been studied in humans. The review can help researchers understand the involved mechanisms and design new goal-oriented studies for drug development against CNS malignancies.

Rabie O, El-Nashar HAS, George MY, Majrashi TA, Al-Warhi T, Hassan FE, Eldehna WM, Mostafa NM. Phytochemical profiling and neuroprotective activity of Callistemon subulatus leaves against cyclophosphamide-induced chemobrain. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 167:115596. [PMID: 37797461 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Cyclophosphamide (CPA) is a chemotherapeutic drug used for various types of cancers. However, patients receiving CPA for long periods suffer cognitive impairment associated with difficulties in learning, decreased concentration, and impaired memory. Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment, known as chemobrain, has been attributed to enhanced oxidative stress and inflammatory response. The current study aimed to identify the phytoconstituents of Callistemon subulatus extract (CSE) using HPLC-ESI/MS-MS analysis and evaluate its neuroprotective activity against CPA-induced chemobrain in rats. Fourteen compounds were identified following HPLC analysis including, five phlorglucinols, four flavonol glycosides, a triterpene, and a phenolic acid. Forty rats were divided into five groups treated for ten days as follows; group I (control group), group II received CPA (200 mg/kg, i.p.) on the 7th day, groups III and IV received CSE (200 and 400 mg/kg respectively, orally) for ten days and CPA (200 mg/kg, i.p.) on the 7th day, and group V received only CSE (400 mg/kg, orally) for ten days. The administration of CSE effectively ameliorated the deleterious effects of CPA on spatial and short-term memories, as evidenced by behavioral tests, Y-maze and passive avoidance. Such findings were further confirmed by histological examination. In addition, CSE counteracted the effect of CPA on hippocampal acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity enhancing the level of acetylcholine. Owing to the CSE antioxidant properties, it hindered the CPA-induced redox imbalance, which is represented by decreased catalase and reduced glutathione levels, as well as enhanced lipid peroxidation. Therefore, CSE may be a promising natural candidate for protection against CPA-induced chemobrain in cancer patients.

The phloroglucinol calcitrinone A, a novel mitochondria-targeting agent, induces cell death in breast cancer cells. Food Chem Toxicol 2022; 162:112896.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among females worldwide. From the leaves of Callistemon citrinus, we have isolated a novel phloroglucinol dimer, calcitrinone A, and analyzed its potential anticancer activity using the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Calcitrinone A decreased the total intracellular ATP levels, inhibited proliferation, and induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells, but was less toxic to peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing effects of calcitrinone A were confirmed in vivo using breast cancer xenografts grown on chick chorioallantoic membranes. Mechanistic analysis showed mitochondrial membrane-potential dissipation and interference with energy-yielding processes resulting in cell accumulation in the S phase of the cell cycle. Seahorse assay analysis revealed an early inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). At the molecular level, calcitrinone A inhibited activity of the succinate-coenzyme Q reductase (SQR) (mitochondrial complex II). In silico docking identified the coenzyme Q binding pocket as a possible high affinity binding site for calcitrinone A in SQR. Inhibition of complex II was accompanied by strong elevation of mitochondrial superoxide and cytoplasmic ROS. Calcitrinone A might be a promising anticancer lead compound acting through the interference with the mitochondrial complex II activity.

Antioxidant, antibacterial, and catalytic performance of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles of Rhus javanica, Rumex hastatus, and Callistemon viminalis. Saudi J Biol Sci 2022; 29:894-904. [PMID: 35197757 PMCID: PMC8848139 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2021.10.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Rhus javanica (Anacardiaceae) containing abundant glucopyranosidal constituents, is traditionally used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcer, dysentery, and diarrhea. Rumex hastatus (Polygonaceae) widely distributed in Pakistan, has traditional importance in treating wound healing, jaundice, rheumatism, and skin diseases. Callistemon viminalis (Myrtaceae), a rich source of essential oils, saponins, triterpenoids, phloroglucinols, and flavonoids is used in industries, perfumes, nutrition, and cosmetics. Taking the importance of the subject plants, this study is designed to synthesize silver nanoparticles via aqueous extracts of R. javanica (RJAgNPs), R. hastatus (RHAgNPs), and C. viminalis (CVAgNPs). Synthesis, surface, and sizes of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were confirmed using spectroscopic techniques including ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). AgNPs were produced in ratios 1:15, 1:16, and 1:9 and inferred via appearance of a sharp surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption peak (400–435 nm), which represented well-defined, stable, and spherical AgNPs. From SEM analysis, the sizes of RJAgNPs, RHAgNPs, and CVAgNPs were found to be 67 nm, 61 nm, and 55 nm, respectively. The synthesized AgNPs exhibited potential free radical scavenging, antibacterial, and catalytic properties in degradation of dyes including Congo red, methylene blue, methyl orange, rhodamine B, ortho and para-nitrophenols, and several food colours. Hence, the subject AgNPs in the current study might display promising role in drug development and remediation of environmental/industrial effluents.

Abstract
The lipophilic compounds product (LCP), which was isolated and purified from Eucalyptus viminalis plants, has shown earlier broad antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. To study secondary compounds responsible for the pharmacological activities, chemical composition of the LCP was studied with application of ultra-performance liquid chromatography combined with photodiode array detector and high-resolution Q Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer (UPLC-PDA-HRMS/MS). There were found thirty two compounds: twenty phloroglucinol derivatives (isopentyl diformyl phloroglucinol, macrocarpals, sideroxylonals, etc.), eight ursane type triterpenoids (loxanic acid, dehydroursolic acid lactone, dehydroursolic acid lactone acetate, two isomers of p-coumaroyl-dehydroursolic acid lactone and two isomers of feruloyl-dehydroursolic acid lactone), sequiterpenoid (S)-β-macrocarpene and three unknown phenolics. The major compounds of the LCP were pharmacologically active macrocarpals A and B, dehydroursolic acid lactone and its derivatives. It is supposed that previously discovered antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of the LCP is due to the high contents of these secondary compounds.

Abstract
Callistemon rigidus R.Br. one of the traditional Chinese medicinal plants, is acrid-flavored and mild-natured, with the prominent effects reducing swelling, resolving phlegm, and dispelling rheumatism. Clinically, it has been commonly used to treat cold, cough and asthma, pain and swelling from impact injuries, eczema, rheumatic arthralgia. The chloroplast genome study on Callistemon rigidus R.Br. is a few seen. This study demonstrates the data collected from the assembly and annotation of the chloroplast (cp) genome of Callistemon rigidus R.Br., followed by furthers comparative analysis with the cp genomes of closely related species. C. rigidus R.Br. showed a cp genome in the size of 158, 961 bp long with 36.78% GC content, among which a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26, 671 bp separated a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87, 162 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18, 457 bp. Altogether 131 genes were hosted, including 37 transfer RNAs, 8 ribosomal RNAs, and 86 protein-coding genes. 284 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were also marked out. A comparative analysis of the genome structure and the sequence data of closely related species unveiled the conserved gene order in the IR and LSC/SSC regions, a quite constructive finding for future phylogenetic research. Overall, this study providing C. rigidus R.Br. genomic resources could positively contribute to the evolutionary study and the phylogenetic reconstruction of Myrtaceae.

Callistemonol A (1) possesses a novel skeleton of a furan ring fusing both an α,β-triketone and a phloroglucinol unit, while callistemonol B (2) is an acylphloroglucinol derivative featuring two methyl substituents on a five-membered ring and an isovaleryl side chain. Their structures were fully characterized on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR parameters, as well as the IR and HRESIMS data. Callistemonol A (1) represents an example of a natural dibenzofuran with two phenyl moieties, and a plausible biogenetic pathway to generate this novel dibenzofuran through a C-C bond-forming radical SAM enzyme is proposed. Moreover, antimicrobial assays, in conjunction with time-killing and biophysical studies, revealed that 1 and 2 exert potent bactericidal activities against a panel of methicillin-resistant pathogenic microbes.

Abstract
Callisretones A (1) and B (2), two rearranged phloroglucinol-monoterpenoid adducts featuring an unprecedented isopropylcyclopenta[b]benzofuran backbone, together with their postulated biosynthetic precursors (3-9), were isolated from Callistemon rigidus. The previously assigned absolute configurations of viminalins H (7), L (8), and N (9) were revised and unequivocally established by X-ray diffraction data. A putative biosynthetic pathway toward callisretones A and B involving the rearrangement of the terpenoid motif is proposed. In addition, 1 and 2 showed inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production with IC50 values of 15.3 ± 1.0 and 17.7 ± 1.1 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Phytochemical study on the leaves of Melaleuca bracteata resulted in the isolation of ten compounds including three new neolignans, named melaleucins A-C (1-3). Among them, melaleucin B shares a rarely occurring nor-neolignan skeleton, and both melaleucins B and C bear a novel aldehyde moiety, which might also be response for the delicate fragrance of M. bracteata. Their structures were extensively assigned by spectral data interpretation and biomimetic total synthesis. Moreover, their biosynthetic pathway with oxidative radical coupling and Michael addition as critical reactions was also confirmed. The antimicrobial activity evaluation revealed that melaleucin A exhibited considerable antimicrobial activity towards methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
A new acylphloroglucinol with a novel architecture including an unprecedented dearomatic dibenzofuran core, named callistemenonone A (1), was isolated from the leaves of Callistemon viminalis (Myrtaceae). The structure was fully characterized on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including UV, HRESIMS, as well as 1D and 2D NMR spectral data (HSQC, HMBC, and ROESY). The deduced structure represents the first example of a natural dibenzofuran with two phenyl moieties coupling through tertiary hydroxy and ketal carbons. A plausible biogenetic pathway involving oxidative coupling and dearomatization as key steps is proposed to account for the biosynthesis of this novel class of dibenzofuran. Moreover, antimicrobial assays, in conjunction with the time-killing and biophysical studies, revealed that 1 exerted potent bactericidal activity against a panel of methicillin resistant pathogenic microbes with a unique mechanism.

Abstract
Callviminols A-E (1-5), five rare phloroglucinols bearing a framework embodying a hexahydrodibenzo[b,d]furan or 2-phenylcyclohexanol nucleus derived from a phloroglucinol-monoterpene adduct, were isolated from the leaves of Callistemon viminalis. Their structures were established via extensive spectroscopic measurements, with the absolute configuration of 5 determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. The plausible biogenetic pathway suggested that a unique oxidative radical addition and classic cationic cyclization were key biosynthetic steps.
