Abstract
In this study, a previously undescribed cassane diterpenoid, named caesalpinin JF (1), along with two known cassane diterpenoids caesanine C (2) and tomocinol B (3), was isolated from 95% EtOH extract of the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan Linn. Additionally, three known compounds including pulcherrin R (4), syringaresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5) and kaempferol (6) were also identified. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses. Additionally, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation was used to identify the absolute structure of compound 1. Among the isolated compounds, compound 1 displayed a potent anti-neuroinflammation with an IC50 value of 9.87 ± 1.71 μM.

Discovery of diversified cassane diterpenoids as potent antibacterial agents from Caesaplinia pulcherrima and their mechanisms. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:2539-2555. [PMID: 36864521 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Natural products play a significant role in the development of novel bactericide candidates. Caesalpinia pulcherrima, a traditional medicine, had anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifeedant activities, therefore the previous bioassay results of C. pulcherrima implied that its main active ingredients may have potential to be used as botanical bactericides. RESULTS Bio-guided isolation of C. pulcherrima was conducted to obtain 11 novel cassane diterpenoids (capulchemins A-K) and 10 known sesquiterpenes. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Capulchemins A-F possess a rare aromatic C ring, while capulchemin K with a 15,16-degradative carbon skeleton represents a rare group of cassane diterpenes. Capulchemin A exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity against four phytopathogenic bacteria, particularly against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidae and Bacillus cereus, with minimal inhibitory concentration values of 3.13 μM. Meanwhile, capulchemin A showed significant control effect on kiwifruit canker in vivo. Further investigation of its mechanism of antibacterial activity revealed that compound 1 was closely related to destroy cell membrane to cause cell death. Additionally, some of those cassane diterpenoids showed potential antifeedant against Mythimna separate walker and Plutella xylostella. Consequently, capulchemin A could have the potential to be used as a template for the development for new eco-friendly NP-based bactericides. CONCLUSION These data contribute to a better understanding of the antibacterial activity of cassane diterpenes. Cassane diterpenes have been discovered to be leading to broad application prospects in the development as novel botanical bactericides. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Diversified cassane family diterpenoids from the leaves of Caesalpinia minax exerting anti-neuroinflammatory activity through suppressing MAPK and NF-κB pathways in BV-2 microglia. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 315:116653. [PMID: 37236383 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Caesalpinia minax Hance, whose seeds are known as "Ku-shi-lian" in China, have been used in Chinese folk medicine for treatment of rheumatism, dysentery, and skin itching. However, the anti-neuroinflammatory constituents of its leaves and their mechanism are rarely reported. AIM OF THE STUDY To search for new anti-neuro-inflammatory compounds from the leaves of C. minax and elucidate their mechanism on anti-neuroinflammatory effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS The main metabolites of the ethyl acetate fraction from C. minax were analyzed and purified via HPLC and various column chromatography techniques. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Anti-neuroinflammatory activity was evaluated in BV-2 microglia cells induced by LPS. The expression levels of molecules in NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways were analyzed through western blotting. Meanwhile, the time- and dose-dependent expression of associated proteins such as iNOS and COX-2 were detected by western blotting. Furthermore, Compounds 1 and 3 were performed on the NF-κB p65 active site using molecular docking simulation to elucidate the molecular level inhibition mechanism. RESULTS 20 cassane diterpenoids, including two novel ones (caeminaxins A and B) were isolated from the leaves of C. minax Hance. Caeminaxins A and B possessed a rare unsaturated carbonyl moiety in their structures. Most of the metabolites exhibited potent inhibition effects with IC50 values ranging from 10.86 ± 0.82 to 32.55 ± 0.47μM. Among them, caeminaxin A inhibited seriously the expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins and restrained the phosphorylation of MAPK and the activation of NF-κB signaling pathways in BV-2 cells. The anti-neuro-inflammatory mechanism of caeminaxin A has been studied systematically for the first time. Furthermore, biosynthesis pathways for compounds 1-20 were discussed. CONCLUSIONS The new cassane diterpenoid, caeminaxin A, alleviated the expression of iNOS and COX-2 protein and down-regulated of intracellular MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. The results implied that cassane diterpenoids had potential to be developed into therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
To study the antitumor activity of compound 3-desoxysulforaphane (3-DSC) isolated from Caesalpinia sinensis, SRB assay, clone formation assay, flow cytometric cell cycle assay, scratch assay, transwell assay, and molecular docking were used to investigate the inhibitory effect of 3-DSC on HeLa and PC3 cells. The results showed that 3-DSC inhibited the cell migration and invasion by down-regulating expression of N-cadherin, Vimentin, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in HeLa and PC3 cells; It also inhibits cell proliferation by promoting the expression of CDK1 (cyclin-dependent kinases 1) and CDK2 (cyclin-dependent kinases 2), which arrests the tumor cell cycle at G2 phase. 3-DSC inhibits phosphorylation of AKT and ERK and upregulates the expression of the tumor suppressor gene p53. Molecular docking results confirmed that 3-DSC could bind firmly to AKT. In conclusion, 3-DSC inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of HeLa and PC3 cells.

Abstract
Three undescribed cassane-type diterpenoids (CAs), caesalpulcherrins K-M (1-3), together with three known ones (4-6) were isolated from the aerial parts of Caesalpinia pulcherrima (L.) Sw (Fabaceae). Their structures were elucidated via analysis of NMR (1 D and 2 D) and HRESIMS data. The character for caesalpulcherrin K possessing the olefin bond at C-11 and C-12 in its cassane skeleton was observed, which belonged to a small group among more than 450 CAs. That is, only fifteen derivatives have been reported up to now, to our knowledge. Biological evaluation revealed that compounds 1-6 exhibited moderate anti-inflammatory activity, with an IC50 value from 6.04 ± 0.34 to 8.92 ± 0.65 μM. Furthermore, compounds 5 and 6 exhibited significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity at 10 μM.
