Abstract
Isosteviol is a tetracyclic diterpenoid obtained by hydrolysis of stevioside. Due to its unique molecular skeleton and extensive pharmacological activities, isosteviol has attracted more and more attention from researchers. This review summarized the structural modification, pharmacological activity and microbial transformation of isosteviol from 04/2008 to 10/2023. In addition, the research history, structural characterization, and pharmacokinetics of isosteviol were also briefly reviewed. This review aims to provide useful literature resources and inspirations for the exploration of diterpenoid drugs.

Abstract
Colistin is a last-resort antibiotic for the treatment of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. Recently, a natural ent-beyerene diterpene was identified as a promising inhibitor of the enzyme responsible for colistin resistance mediated by lipid A aminoarabinosylation in Gram-negative bacteria, namely, ArnT (undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-4-amino-4-deoxy-l-arabinose arabinosyl transferase). Here, semisynthetic analogues of hit were designed, synthetized, and tested against colistin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains including clinical isolates to exploit the versatility of the diterpene scaffold. Microbiological assays coupled with molecular modeling indicated that for a more efficient colistin adjuvant activity, likely resulting from inhibition of the ArnT activity by the selected compounds and therefore from their interaction with the catalytic site of ArnT, an ent-beyerane scaffold is required along with an oxalate-like group at C-18/C-19 or a sugar residue at C-19 to resemble L-Ara4N. The ent-beyerane skeleton is identified for the first time as a privileged scaffold for further cost-effective development of valuable colistin resistance inhibitors.

Abstract
Microbial transformations of two tetracyclic beyerane-type diterpenes, ent-16β-oxobeyeran-19-oic acid (1) and its chemical reduction product, ent-16β-hydroxybeyeran-19-oic acid (2), by the filamentous fungus Cunninghamella echinulata ATCC 8688a yielded eight metabolites (3-10). Incubation of the substrate 2 with C. echinulata afforded three new hydroxylated ones (3-5) along with two known ones (6-7), while incubation of 1 gave three known ones (8-10). The new compounds were characterized by 1D and 2D NMR as well as HRESIMS analysis, and the stereostructures of 3 and 4 were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The bioreactions were involved not only in stereoselective incorporation of hydroxyl groups at inert positions C-7, -9, -12, and -14 of the two beyerane diterpenes but also in glucosidation at C-19 of 2. This is the first report on the biotransformation of the diterpenes by using C. echinulata. All compounds were assayed for their α-glucosidase inhibitory, neurotrophic, anti-inflammatory, and phytotoxic activity, and only in neurotrophic assay compounds, 2 and 9 were found to display nerve growth factor-mediated neurite-outgrowth promoting effects in PC12 cells; the others were inactive.

Abstract
Diterpenes have been identified as active compounds in several medicinal plants showing remarkable biological activities, and some isolated diterpenes are produced at commercial scale to be used as medicines, food additives, in the synthesis of fragrances, or in agriculture. There is great interest in developing methods to obtain derivatives of these compounds, and biotransformation processes are interesting tools for the structural modification of natural products with complex chemical structures. Biotransformation processes also have a crucial role in drug development and/or optimization. The understanding of the metabolic pathways for both phase I and II biotransformation of new drug candidates is mandatory for toxicity and efficacy evaluation and part of preclinical studies. This review presents an overview of biotransformation processes of diterpenes carried out by microorganisms, plant cell cultures, animal and human liver microsomes, and rats, chickens, and swine in vivo and highlights the main enzymatic reactions involved in these processes and the role of diterpenes that may be effectively exploited by other fields.

Inhibitory effects of Dianthi Herba ethanolic extract on inflammatory and nociceptive responses in murine macrophages and mouse models of abdominal writhing and ear edema. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2018; 211:375-383. [PMID: 28917973 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2017.09.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2017] [Revised: 08/30/2017] [Accepted: 09/11/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Dianthi Herba is a traditional herbal medicine used to treat inflammatory-related diseases including acute pyelonephritis, cystitis, laryngopharyngitis, and urethritis. AIM OF THE STUDY We investigated the effects of Dianthi Herba ethanolic extract (DH) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated inflammatory responses in murine macrophages including RAW 264.7 cell line and mouse peritoneal macrophages as well as nociceptive and edema mouse models. MATERIALS AND METHODS The biological effects of DH on inflammatory cytokine, mediator, and related protein production were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blotting, and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR). Additionally, Western blotting was performed to investigate intracellular signaling pathways, and the anti-nociceptive activity of three doses of DH (100, 200, and 300mg/kg) against acetic acid-induced writhing responses and its inhibitory effects on xylene-induced ear edema were researched in mice through oral administration. RESULTS DH treatment significantly inhibited nitric oxide (NO) secretion and inflammatory cytokine production in RAW 264.7 cells and mouse peritoneal macrophages and induced heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression. DH strongly inhibited the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Meanwhile, DH exerted anti-nociceptive effects on writhing responses and anti-edema effects in mice. CONCLUSION We confirmed the anti-inflammatory activities and inhibitory mechanism of DH in macrophages and clarified its inhibitory effects in vivo. These findings illustrate the therapeutic potential of DH as a natural anti-inflammatory agent.
