Secosteroid diacylhydrazines as novel effective agents against hormone-dependent breast cancer cells. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2024; 244:106597. [PMID: 39127416 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2024.106597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
This research aimed to develop novel selective secosteroids that are highly active against hormone-dependent breast cancer. A simple and convenient approach to N'-acylated 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid hydrazides was disclosed and these novel types of secosteroids were screened for cytotoxicity against the hormone-dependent human breast cancer cell line MCF7. Most secosteroid N'-benzoyl hydrazides have demonstrated high cytotoxicity against MCF7 cells with IC50 values below 5μM, which are superior to that of the reference drug cisplatin. Hit compounds 2c, 2e and 2i were characterized by high cytotoxicity (IC50 = 1.6-1.9μM) and very good selectivity towards MCF7 breast cancer cells. The lead secosteroids 2c, 2e and 2i also exhibit antiestrogenic effects and alter the expression of cell cycle regulating proteins. The effect of selected compounds on PARP (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase) and Bcl-2 (B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2) indicates their proapoptotic potential. The synthesized secosteroids may be considered as new promising anti-breast cancer agents targeting ERα and apoptosis pathways.

Abstract
Natural products have played a significant role throughout history in the prevention and treatment of numerous diseases, particularly cancers. As a natural product primarily derived from various medicinal plants in the Withania genus, withanolides have been shown in several studies to exhibit potential activities in cancer treatment. Consequently, understanding the molecular mechanism of withanolides could herald the discovery of new anticancer agents. Withanolides have been studied widely, especially in the last 20 years, and attracted the attention of numerous researchers. Currently, over 1200 withanolides have been classified, with approximately a quarter of them having been reported in the literature to be able to modulate the survival and death of cancer cells through multiple avenues. To what extent, though, has the anticancer effects of these compounds been studied? How far are they from being developed into clinical drugs? What are their potential, characteristic features, and challenges? In this review, we elaborate on the current knowledge of natural compounds belonging to this class and provide an overview of their natural sources, anticancer activity, mechanism of action, molecular targets, and implications for anticancer drug research. In addition, direct targets and clinical research to guide the design and implementation of future preclinical and clinical studies to accelerate the application of withanolides have been highlighted.

[PMID: 37176870 PMCID: PMC10181418 DOI: 10.3390/plants12091813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Resistance to antimalarial medicine remains a threat to the global effort for malaria eradication. The World Health Organization recently reported that artemisinin partial resistance, which was defined as delayed parasite clearance, was detected in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Greater Mekong subregion, and in Africa, particularly in Rwanda and Uganda. Therefore, the discovery of a potential new drug is important to overcome emerging drug resistance. Natural products have played an important role in drug development over the centuries, including the development of antimalarial drugs, with most of it influenced by traditional use. Recent research on traditional medicine used as an antimalarial treatment on Papua Island, Indonesia, reported that 72 plant species have been used as traditional medicine, with Alstonia scholaris, Carica papaya, Andrographis paniculata, and Physalis minima as the most frequently used medicinal plants. This review aimed to highlight the current research status of these plants for potential novel antiplasmodial development. In conclusion, A. paniculata has the highest potential to be developed as an antiplasmodial, and its extract and known bioactive isolate andrographolide posed strong activity both in vitro and in vivo. A. scholaris and C. papaya also have the potential to be further investigated as both have good potential for their antiplasmodial activities in vivo. However, P. minima is a less studied medicinal plant; nevertheless, it opens the opportunity to explore the potential of this plant.

Abstract
The Southeast Asian rainforests, notably in East Malaysia, are home to a diverse range of medicinal plant species with limitless therapeutic potential. Physalis minima (family Solanaceae) is a native East Malaysia plant which is closely linked to P. angulata, are recognized for their various pharmacology properties are abundance in Withanolides, a C28-steroidal lactones based on an ergostane skeleton. This review focuses on the bioactive compounds of this herb, as it is frequently used to treat inflammation, neurodegenerative disease and cancer among East Malaysian ethnic groups. In this review, a total of 103 Withanolides were reported, with 59 of them being newly characterized. Previous scientific data revealed that Withanolides were intriguing principal compounds for inflammatory, neuroinflammatory and cancer treatment due to unique steroidal structure and strong bioactivities. Despite their excellent pharmacological characteristics, only a few Withanolides have been extensively studied, and the majority of them, particularly the newly discovered Withanolides, remained unknown for their therapeutic properties. This indicates that P. minima compounds are worth to be investigate for its pharmacological effects.

Abstract
Many of the anticancer agents that are currently in use demonstrate severe side effects and encounter increasing resistance from the target cancer cells. Thus, despite significant advances in cancer therapy in recent decades, there is still a need to discover and develop new, alternative anticancer agents. The plant kingdom contains a range of phytochemicals that play important roles in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. The Solanaceae family is widely used in the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, due to its bioactive ingredient content. The purpose of this literature review is to highlight the antitumour activity of Solanaceae extracts-single isolated compounds and nanoparticles with extracts-and their synergistic effect with chemotherapeutic agents in various in vitro and in vivo cancer models. In addition, the biological properties of many plants of the Solanaceae family have not yet been investigated, which represents a challenge and an opportunity for future anticancer therapy.

Abstract
The calyxes and fruits of Physalis alkekengi L. var. franchetii (Mast.) Makino (P. alkekengi), a medicinal and edible plant, are frequently used as heat-clearing and detoxifying agents in thousands of Chinese medicine prescriptions. For thousands of years in China, they have been widely used in clinical practice to treat throat disease, hepatitis, and bacillary dysentery. This systematic review summarizes their structural analysis, quality control, pharmacology, and pharmacokinetics. Furthermore, the possible development trends and perspectives for future research studies on this medicinal plant are discussed. Relevant information on the calyxes and fruits of P. alkekengi was collected from electronic databases, Chinese herbal classics, and Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Moreover, information was collected from ancient documents in China. The components isolated and identified in P. alkekengi include steroids, flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, alkaloids, nucleosides, terpenoids, megastigmane, aliphatic derivatives, organic acids, coumarins, and sucrose esters. Steroids, particularly physalins and flavonoids, are the major characteristic and bioactive ingredients in P. alkekengi. According to the literature, physalins are synthesized by the mevalonate and 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate pathways, and flavonoids are synthesized by the phenylpropanoid pathway. Since the chemical components and pharmacological effects of P. alkekengi are complex and varied, there are different standards for the evaluation of its quality and efficacy. In most cases, the analysis was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet detection. A pharmacological study showed that the crude extracts and isolated compounds from P. alkekengi had extensive in vitro and in vivo biological activities (e.g., anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, immunosuppressive, antibacterial, anti-leishmanial, anti-asthmatic, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative, anti-malarial, anti-Alzheimer's disease, and vasodilatory). Moreover, the relevant anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor mechanisms were elucidated. The reported activities indicate the great pharmacological potential of P. alkekengi. Similarly, studies on the pharmacokinetics of specific compounds will also contribute to the progress of clinical research in this setting.

Abstract
Two new hexenol glycosides, (Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol O-β-d-xylcopyranosyl-(1-6)-β -d-glucopyranosyl-(1-2)-β-d-glucopyranoside (1) and (E)-hex-3-en-1-ol O-β-d-xylcopyranosyl-(1-6)-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-2)-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), were isolated from the 50% ethanol elution of macroporous resin of Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii. Their structures were established by detailed spectroscopic analysis, including extensive 2D-NMR data. This is the first time to report the (Z) and (E) 3-hexenol glycosides from Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii.

Abstract
The in vitro and in vivo effects of physalin D on macrophage M1/M2 polarization were investigated. In silico analysis was first performed for biological function prediction of different physalins. The results suggest physalins have similar predicted biological functions due to their similarities in chemical structures. The cytotoxicity of physalins was then analyzed based on cell apoptosis rate and cell viability evaluation. Physalin D was chosen for further study due to its minimal cytotoxicity. Bone marrow macrophages were isolated and induced with lipopolysaccharide/interferon (IFN)-γ for M1 polarization and interleukin (IL)-4/IL-13 for M2 polarization. The results showed that physalin D can repolarize M1 phenotype cells toward M2 phenotype. In addition, physalin D is protective in M2 macrophages to maintain the M2 phenotype in the presence of IFN-γ. On the molecular level, we found that physalin D suppressed the signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)1 activation and blocked STAT1 nuclear translocation. Conversely, physalin D can also activate STAT6 and enhance STAT6 nuclear translocation for M2 polarization. Taken together, these results suggested that physalin D regulates macrophage M1/M2 polarization via the STAT1/6 pathway.

Cell Death Dis 2018; 9:591. [PMID: 29789528 PMCID: PMC5964149 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-018-0645-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2018] [Revised: 03/01/2018] [Accepted: 04/20/2018] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling is critical in the progression of human cancers, especially colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signalling is a significant potential target for CRC therapy. Here, we identified for the first time that Physalin F (PF), a steroid derivative isolated from Physalis angulate, acts as an antagonist of Wnt/β-catenin signalling. In vitro, PF decreased Wnt3a-induced TOPFlash reporter activity in HEK293T cells and promoted the formation of the β-catenin destruction complex. Importantly, PF also inhibited Wnt/β-catenin signalling and accelerated the degradation of β-catenin in CRC cells. However, PF did not affect the stabilization of Axin or the interaction of β-catenin with E-cadherin. Interestingly, we further found that PF promoted YAP binding to the β-catenin destruction complex, which facilitated the ubiquitination and degradation of β-catenin. Silencing and pharmacological inhibition of YAP reversed the formation of the β-catenin destruction complex induced by PF, implying that YAP binding to the β-catenin destruction complex was responsible for PF-mediated inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signalling. Furthermore, PF observably inhibited tumour growth by down-regulating β-catenin in tumour-bearing mice. Collectively, our findings indicated that PF inhibited Wnt/β-catenin signalling by accelerating the ubiquitination and degradation of β-catenin in a YAP-dependent manner and therefore PF could be a novel potential candidate for CRC therapy.
