Antimycobacterial Precatorin A Flavonoid Displays Antibiofilm Activity against Mycobacterium bovis BCG. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:40665-40676. [PMID: 37929145 PMCID: PMC10621015 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential antibiofilm activity of Rhynchosia precatoria (R. precatoria) compounds over Mycobacterium bovis BCG (M. bovis BCG) as a model for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). We evaluated the antibiofilm activity as the ability to both inhibit biofilm formation and disrupt preformed biofilms (bactericidal) of R. precatoria compounds, which have been previously described as being antimycobacterials against Mtb. M. bovis BCG developed air-liquid interface biofilms with surface attachment ability and drug tolerance. Of the R. precatoria extracts and compounds that were tested, precatorin A (PreA) displayed the best biofilm inhibitory activity, as evaluated by biofilm biomass quantification, viable cell count, and confocal and atomic force microscopy procedures. Furthermore, its combination with isoniazid at subinhibitory concentrations inhibited M. bovis BCG biofilm formation. Nonetheless, neither PreA nor the extract showed bactericidal effects. PreA is the R. precatoria compound responsible for biofilm inhibitory activity against M. bovis BCG.

Abstract
In pursuit of new antitubercular agents, we here report the antimycobacterial (H37Rv) and DNA gyrase inhibitory potential of daidzein and khellin natural products (NPs). We procured a total of 16 NPs based on their pharmacophoric similarities with known antimycobacterial compounds. The H37Rv strain of M. tuberculosis was found to be susceptible to only two out of the 16 NPs procured; specifically, daidzein and khellin each exhibited an MIC of 25 μg/mL. Moreover, daidzein and khellin inhibited the DNA gyrase enzyme with IC50 values of 0.042 and 0.822 μg/mL, respectively, compared to ciprofloxacin with an IC50 value of 0.018 μg/mL. Daidzein and khellin were found to have lower toxicity toward the vero cell line, with IC50 values of 160.81 and 300.23 μg/mL, respectively. Further, molecular docking study and MD simulation of daidzein indicated that it remained stable inside the cavity of DNA GyrB domain for 100 ns.

Abstract
The root Rhynchosia volubilis was widely used for contraception in folk medicine, although its molecular mechanism on antifertility has not yet been revealed. In human sperm, it was reported that the cation channel of sperm, an indispensable cation channel for the fertilization process, could be regulated by various steroid-like compounds in plants. Interestingly, these nonphysiological ligands would also disturb the activation of the cation channel of sperm induced by progesterone. Therefore, this study aimed to explore whether the compounds in R. volubilis affect the physiological regulation of the cation channel of sperm. The bioguided isolation of the whole herb of R. volubilis has resulted in the novel discovery of five new prenylated isoflavonoids, rhynchones A - E (1: - 5: ), a new natural product, 5'-O-methylphaseolinisoflavan (6: ) (1H and 13C NMR data, Supporting Information), together with twelve known compounds (7: - 18: ). Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses and drawing a comparison with literature data, while their absolute configurations were determined by electronic circular dichroism calculations. The experiments of intracellular Ca2+ signals and patch clamping recordings showed that rhynchone A (1: ) significantly reduced cation channel of sperm activation by competing with progesterone. In conclusion, our findings indicat that rhynchone A might act as a contraceptive compound by impairing the activation of the cation channel of sperm and thus prevent fertilization.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains a threat to mankind, with over a billion of deaths in the last two centuries. Recent advancements in science have contributed to an understanding of Mtb pathogenesis and developed effective control tools, including effective drugs to control the global pandemic. However, the emergence of drug resistant Mtb strains has seriously affected the TB eradication program around the world. There is, therefore, an urgent need to develop new drugs for TB treatment, which has grown researchers’ interest in small molecule-based drug designing and development. The small molecules-based treatments hold significant potential to overcome drug resistance and even provide opportunities for multimodal therapy. In this context, various natural and synthetic flavonoids were reported for the effective treatment of TB. In this review, we have summarized the recent advancement in the understanding of Mtb pathogenesis and the importance of both natural and synthetic flavonoids against Mtb infection studied using in vitro and in silico methods. We have also included flavonoids that are able to inhibit the growth of non-tubercular mycobacterial organisms. Hence, understanding the therapeutic properties of flavonoids can be useful for the future treatment of TB.

Abstract
Two new bioactive ophiobolan sestertepenoids, named drophiobiolins A and B (1 and 2) were isolated from Drechslera gigantea, a fungus proposed as a mycoherbicide for biocontrol of Digitaria sanguinalis. They were isolated together with ophiobolin A, the main metabolite, 6-epi-ophiobolin A, 3-anhydro-6-epi-ophiobolin A, and ophiobolin I. Drophiobolins A and B were characterized by NMR, HRESIMS, and chemical methods as 7-hydroxy-7-(6-hydroxy-6-methylheptan-2-yl)-1,9a-dimethyl-3-oxo-3,3a,6,6a,7,8,9,9a,10,10a-decahydrodicyclopenta [a,d][8]annulene-4-carbaldehyde and 6-(hydroxymethyl)-3',9,10a-trimethyl-5'-(2-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)-3a,4,4',5',10,10a-hexahydro-1H,3'H-spiro[dicyclopenta[a,d] [8]annulene-3,2'-furan]-5,7(2H,9aH)-dione. The relative configuration of drophiobolins A and B, which did not afford crystals suitable for X-ray analysis, was determined by NOESY experiments, while the absolute configuration was assigned by comparison of their experimental and TDDFT calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The phytotoxic activity of drophiobolins A and B was tested by leaf-puncture assay on cultivated (Lycopersicon esculentum L.), as well as on host (Digitaria sanguinalis L.) and nonhost (Chenopodium album L.) weed plants, compared to that of ophiobolin A. Both of the newly identified ophiobolins showed significant phytotoxicity. Drophiobolins A and B exhibited cytotoxicity against Hela B cells with an IC50 value of 10 μM. However, they had a lesser or no effect against Hacat, H1299, and A431 cells when compared to that of ophiobolin A.

Abstract
The application of flexible biphenyls as chiroptical probes for the absolute configuration assignment to chiral natural products is described. The method is straightforward and reliable and can be applied to conformationally mobile and ECD silent compounds, not treatable by computational analysis of chiroptical data. By this approach, the (6'R) absolute configuration of the phytotoxin colletochlorin A (1) was confirmed, while the absolute configuration of the phytotoxin agropyrenol (2), previously assigned by the NMR Mosher method, was revised and assigned as (3'S,4'S). Moreover, with the biphenyl method the configurational assignment can be obtained simply by the sign of a diagnostic Cotton effect at 250 nm in the ECD spectrum, thus allowing application without the need of advanced knowledge of chiroptical spectroscopy and computational protocols.

Abstract
The stereoselective transformation of chiral UV-transparent amines and alcohols to phthalimides has proved to be a simple and efficient method to enhance the chiroptical response of these substrates allowing their reliable absolute configuration determination by computational analysis of ECD spectra. Such a transformation also leads to a significant reduction in the molecular conformational flexibility thus simplifying the conformational analysis required by the computational treatment. The method described herein thus allows the absolute configuration assignment to these challenging substrates to be much easier and reliable.

Abstract
The genus Rhynchosia is a rich source of natural compounds especially flavonoids and prenylated isoflavonoids. Further experimental studies on Rhynchosia members may be result new and novel secondary metabolites with potent biological activities. Traditionally, medicinal plants have played a significant role on human life since ancient days. At present, natural compounds are the major source for the modern drug discovery owing to their therapeutic selectivity, minutest of side effects, inexpensive source and serve as lead molecules for the discovery of new drugs. Rhynchosia species (Fabaceae) are extensively circulated throughout the tropical and subtropical areas around the world. A few plants of this genus were used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various ailments such as antibacterial, antidiabetic, abortifacients, healing of wounds, hepatoprotective, remedial of boils, rheumatic pains and skin infections. The present review compiles traditional uses, isolated chemical compounds and pharmacological activities of Rhynchosia species. So far, in total, seventy-seven compounds were isolated from the genus Rhynchosia, including flavonoids, isoflavonoids, flavan-3-ols, xanthones, biphenyls, simple polyphenols and sterols. It is interesting to note that the genus Rhynchosia is a rich source of C-glycosylflavonoids and prenylated isoflavonoids. Further, phytochemical and pharmacological studies on this genus are required since only few species have been investigated so far.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) remains one of the deadliest, infectious diseases worldwide. The detrimental effects caused by the existing anti-TB drugs to TB patients and the emergence of resistance strains of M. tuberculosis has driven efforts from natural products researchers around the globe in discovering novel anti-TB drugs that are more efficacious and with less side effects. There were eleven main review publications that focused on natural products with anti-TB potentials. However, none of them specifically emphasized antimycobacterial phenolic compounds. Thus, the current review’s main objective is to highlight and summarize phenolic compounds found active against mycobacteria from 2000 to 2017. Based on the past studies in the electronic databases, the present review also focuses on several test organisms used in TB researches and their different distinct properties, a few types of in vitro TB bioassay and comparison between their strengths and drawbacks, different methods of extraction, fractionation and isolation, ways of characterizing and identifying isolated compounds and the mechanism of actions of anti-TB phenolic compounds as reported in the literature.

Synthesis and Evaluation of N-(3-Trifluoroacetyl-indol-7-yl) Acetamides for Potential In Vitro Antiplasmodial Properties. Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22071099. [PMID: 28671598 PMCID: PMC6152062 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22071099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2017] [Revised: 06/21/2017] [Accepted: 06/28/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
A series of novel N-((2,5-diaryl-3-trifluoroacetyl)-1H-indol-7-yl)acetamides has been prepared via a successive and one-pot reaction sequence involving initial trifluoroacetic acid-mediated Beckmann rearrangement of the oximes derived from the 1-(2,5-diaryl-1H-indol-7-yl)ethanones, followed by trifluoroacetylation of the incipient N-(2,5-diaryl-1H-indol-7-yl)-acetamides with trifluoroacetic anhydride. The prepared compounds were evaluated for potential in vitro antiplasmodial properties. Preliminary results from antiplasmodial activity against the chloroquine-sensitive 3D7 strain of Plasmodium falciparum revealed that a combination of 2-(4-flurophenyl)- and 5-(4-fluorophenyl) or 2-(4-flurophenyl)- and 4-fluorostyryl groups in compounds 3(a,f) and 4(a,g), for example, is required for biological activity for both series of compounds. Their possible mode of action against the plasmodial parasite is explained theoretically through molecular docking of the most active compounds against the parasite lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH). These compounds were docked at the entrance of NAD+ in pLDH presumably hindering entry of lactate to cause the observed inhibition effect of pLDH. The four compounds were found to exhibit low toxicity against monkey kidney Vero cells at the highest concentrations tested.
