Abstract
Isoquinoline alkaloids are an important class of natural products that are abundant in the plant kingdom and exhibit a wide range of structural diversity and biological activities. With the deepening of research in recent years, more and more isoquinoline alkaloids have been isolated and identified and proved to contain a variety of biological activities and pharmacological effects. In this review, we introduce the research progress of isoquinoline alkaloids from 2019 to 2022, mainly in the part of biological activities, including antitumor, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, analgesic, and other activities. This study provides a clear direction for the rational development and utilization of isoquinoline alkaloids, suggesting that these alkaloids have great potential in the field of drug research.

Bioorg Chem 2024; 144:107177. [PMID: 38335756 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107177] [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: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
In order to find effective α-glucosidase inhibitors, a series of thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (C1 ∼ 36) were synthesized and evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compared to positive control acarbose (IC50 = 654.35 ± 65.81 μM), all compounds (C1 ∼ 36) showed stronger α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.52 ± 0.06 ∼ 9.31 ± 0.96 μM. Among them, C23 with the best anti-α-glucosidase activity was a reversible mixed-type inhibitor. Fluorescence quenching suggested the binding process of C23 with α-glucosidase in a static process. Fluorescence quenching, CD spectra, and 3D fluorescence spectra results also implied that the binding of C23 with α-glucosidase caused the conformational change of α-glucosidase to inhibit the activity. Molecular docking displayed the binding interaction of C23 with α-glucosidase. Compound C23 (8 ∼ 64 μM) showed no cytotoxicity against LO2 and 293 cells. Moreover, oral administration of C23 (50 mg/kg) could reduce blood glucose and improve glucose tolerance in mice.

Abstract
Cryptocarya (the laurel family) is a large genus of great economic plants found in tropics and subtropics. Plants of this genus are a rich resource of essential oils, and pharmacological compounds. An overview of phytochemistry and pharmacological aspect is not yet available. This review aims to establish insightful information on phytochemistry, and pharmacological values. The literature collection is based on keywords 'Cryptocarya', 'phytochemistry', and 'pharmacology' using a broad panel of scientific sources, such as Google Scholar, Sciencedirect, and Wiley. Since the 1950s, Cryptocarya plants have been the main object in various phytochemical studies, by which about 390 metabolite compounds were isolated. Alkaloids, α-pyrones, and flavonoids could be seen as the main classes of Cryptocarya isolates. Cryptocarya constituents displayed potential pharmacological values such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidative, antiviral, vasorelaxant activities, especially cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Nine new complex flavanones, cryptometcones A-I (1-9), along with four known analogues, were isolated from Cryptocarya metcalfiana. The structures of 1-9 including their absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. In addition, the structure of oboflavanone A was revised, while the absolute configurations of oboflavanone B, cryptoflavanone C, and cryptoflavanone D were determined, according to their spectroscopic data. Compounds 3-5, 8, and 9 exhibited cytotoxicity against the HCT-116 cancer cell line.
