Abstract
Natural products continue to represent a compelling resource for uncovering chemical scaffolds characterised by significant structural variability and diverse biological activities. These compounds possess the potential to be directly utilised or to serve as initial templates for further refinement, ultimately leading to the development of innovative pharmaceutical agents. Among natural products, isoquinoline alkaloids stand out as one of the most extensively researched groups. 1-Oxo-tetrahydroisoquinolinones (1 O-THIQ), isolated from a variety of natural sources, exhibit valuable biological properties. This review investigates the bioactivities of specific 1 O-THIQ alkaloids, which have not been reviewed to the same depth in previous studies.

Wang Y, Tian B, Li Y, Li W, Chen Z, Liu S, Li S. A Sustainable and Versatile Cellulose-based CO Surrogate for Carbonylative Reactions. CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202301324. [PMID: 38199959 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202301324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
The highly toxic and flammable nature of CO lead to high handling demand for its use and storage, undoubtedly constricting its further academic exploration for carbonylative reactions in laboratory. Although many CO surrogates have been developed and applied in carbonylative reactions instead of CO gas, exploration of more versatile CO surrogates for diverse carbonylations is still highly desirable. Here we report a cellulose-based CO surrogate (cellulose-CO), which prepared from cheap and abundant cellulose through a simple and green process. The very mild and efficient CO release makes this reagent a highly competitive candidate for providing CO in carbonylation. This surrogate is compatible with a wide variety of functional groups in various carbonylative reactions due to the excellent compatibility of cellulose-CO. Moreover, the cellulose-CO exhibits excellent chemical stability which can be stored exposed to air for 12 months, making this CO surrogate a robust and general reagent in CO chemistry.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 321:117499. [PMID: 38042392 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Corydalis tomentella Franch. is a perennial cespitose plant commonly used to treat stomachaches as a folk medicine. The C. tomentella total alkaloids have good protective effects against acute liver injury and potential anti-hepatoma and anti-Alzheimer's disease activities. AIM OF THE STUDY To establish an effective purification process for total alkaloids from C. tomentella and investigate the mechanism of their anti-inflammatory effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Corydalis tomentella were purified using macroporous resin. Then the crude and purified C. tomentella extracts (cCTE and pCTE) were qualitatively analyzed using UPLC-Triple-TOF-MS/MS. The cCTE and pCTE were used to investigate and compare their anti-inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. Doses at 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg/d of pCTE were used to study their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities in mice with xylene-induced ear swelling and acetic acid-induced writhing tests. Content of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined both in RAW264.7 cells and mice. Network pharmacology was used to predict the anti-inflammatory mechanism of C. tomentella, and the key enzymes were validated using qPCR and Western Blot analysis. Concentration of intracellular Ca2+ was detected using flow cytometric analysis. RESULTS The C. tomentella total alkaloid purity increased from 6.29% to 47.34% under optimal purification conditions. A total of 54 alkaloids were identified from CTE. Both cCTE and pCTE could suppress the LPS-induced production of NO, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in RAW264.7 cells. The pCTE exhibited a more potent anti-inflammatory effect; it also inhibited pain induced by xylene and acetic acid in mice. The calcium signaling pathway is associated with the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of C. tomentella. The mRNA expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) 2, NOS3 and calmodulin1 (CALM1) was regulated by C. tomentella through the reduction of inflammation-induced Ca2+ influx, and it also exhibited a more pronounced effect than the positive control (L-NG-nitro arginine methyl ester). CONCLUSIONS Purified C. tomentella extract shows anti-inflammatory effect both in vitro and in vivo. It exerts anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects through the calcium signaling pathway by down-regulating NOS2 and CALM1 expression and up-regulating NOS3 expression in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, and decreasing intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

Abstract
Eleven undescribed isoquinoline analogues, namely edulisines A-K, along with sixteen known alkaloids, were isolated from the whole plants of Corydalis edulis. The structures of the isolated alkaloids were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data (1D and 2D NMR, UV, IR, and HRESIMS). Their absolute configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis and ECD. Compounds (+)-1 and (-)-1 are a pair of undescribed isoquinoline alkaloids bearing a unique coupled pattern of coptisine and ferulic acid via Diels-Alder [4 + 2] cycloaddition, while compounds (+)-2 and (-)-2 feature benzo [1,2-d:3,4-d]bis [1,3]dioxole moiety. Compounds (+)-2, (-)-2, (-)-5, 10, 13, 15, 20, 22, and 23 significantly triggered the secretion of insulin in the HIT-T15 cells at a concentration of 40 μM.

Abstract
In an effort to exploit the bioactive natural scaffold 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one for plant disease management, 59 derivatives of this scaffold were synthesized using the Castagnoli–Cushman reaction. The results of bioassay indicated that their antioomycete activity against Pythium recalcitrans was superior to the antifungal activity against the other 6 phytopathogens. Compound I23 showed the highest in vitro potency against P. recalcitrans with an EC50 value of 14 μM, which was higher than that of the commercial hymexazol (37.7 μM). Moreover, I23 exhibited in vivo preventive efficacy of 75.4% at the dose of 2.0 mg/pot, which did not show significant differences compared with those of hymexazol treatments (63.9%). When the dose was 5.0 mg per pot, I23 achieved a preventive efficacy of 96.5%. The results of the physiological and biochemical analysis, the ultrastructural observation and lipidomics analysis suggested that the mode of action of I23 might be the disruption of the biological membrane systems of P. recalcitrans. In addition, the established CoMFA and CoMSIA models with reasonable statistics in the three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study revealed the necessity of the C4-carboxyl group and other structural requirements for activity. Overall, the above results would help us to better understand the mode of action and the SAR of these derivatives, and provide crucial information for further design and development of more potent 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one derivatives as antioomycete agents against P. recalcitrans. A collection of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one derivatives were synthesized by Castagnoli–Cushman reaction to screen antioomycete agents against Pythium recalcitrans.![]()

Abstract
Isoquinoline alkaloid displays significant anti-gastric cancer effects due to its unique structure, which is attracting more and more attention for the development of anti-gastric cancer drugs. In this study, we explore the active components against gastric cancer from the Tibetan Medicine Corydalis hendersonii Hemsl, which is rich in isoquinoline alkaloids. 14 compounds including 2 previously undescribed natural products were obtained. Interestingly, an new active compound displays potent anti-gastric cancer activity. After accomplishing the total syntheses of the active compound and its derivatives, the anti-gastric cancer activity of the active compound was further investigated. In vitro experiments revealed that the active compound significantly attenuated the proliferative capacity, caused G2/M phase arrest, inhibited the cell migration and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, the active compound could increase the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, elevate cytochrome c in the cytosol, and activate caspase-9/3, along with inactivating the upstream PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, the active compound could also cause gastric cancer cell death by inhibiting topoisomerase I activity. More importantly, the anti-gastric cancer activity of the active compound was confirmed in MGC-803 xenograft nude mice in vivo. This work not only promotes the exploitation of Corydalis hendersonii Hemsl., but also provides some experience for discovering new entities from natural sources.

Abstract
Six undescribed protoberberine derivatives including two pairs of enantiomers, named yanhusanines G-L, along with fifteen reported protoberberine alkaloids, were isolated from the tubers of Corydalis yanhusuo. Among them, yanhusanines H-L feature a unique 13,13a-seco skeleton which is rare in nature. Their structural elucidations were achieved by extensive spectroscopic analysis and quantum chemistry calculations. A biogenetic route for yanhusanines H-L was proposed. Bioassay results showed that yanhusanine J exhibited potent inhibitory effect against the nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced RAW 264.7 cells (IC50 = 2.25 ± 1.32 μM). Western blot analysis demonstrated that yanhusanine J exerted its anti-inflammatory effect via suppressing the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway, together with the decrease of the inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β. Furthermore, molecular simulation docking indicated that yanhusanine J had strong interaction with the active site of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein.

Abstract
The genus Corydalis is a botanical source of various pharmaceutically active components. Its member species have been widely used in traditional medicine systems in Southeast Asia, especially in China for thousands of years. They have been administered to treat the common cold, hypertension, hepatitis, hemorrhage, edema, gastritis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Analgesia is the most important effect of Corydalis products, which are relatively non-addictive and associated with low tolerance compared with other analgesics. Certain Corydalis species are rich in alkaloids, which have strong biological activity, and also contain coumarins, flavonoids, steroids, organic acids and other chemical components. These constituents have pharmacological efficacy against diseases of the nervous, cardiovascular and digestive systems. Numerous investigations have been performed on these plants and their components. Here, we systemically summarized the chemical constituents of important medicinal member species of Corydalis that have been reported since 1962. A total 381 alkaloids were enumerated, including 117 quaternary isoquinoline type, 60 Benzophenanthridine type, 37 aporphine type, 10 protopine type, 59 phthalide isoquinoline type, 52 simple isoquinoline-type, 25 lignin amides and 21 other alkaloids. Thus, we have provided a basis for further explorations into the pharmacologically active constituents of Corydalissp.(Papaveraceae) to develop medicines that exert strong effects, are relatively non-addictive, and result in few side effects.

Abstract
Isoquinoline alkaloids, an important class of N-based heterocyclic compounds, have attracted considerable attention from researchers worldwide since the early 19th century. Over the past 200 years, many compounds from this class were isolated, and most of them and their analogs possess various bioactivities. In this review, we survey the updated literature on bioactive alkaloids and highlight research achievements of this alkaloid class during the period of 2014-2018. We reviewed over 400 molecules with a broad range of bioactivities, including antitumor, antidiabetic and its complications, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and other activities. This review should provide new indications or directions for the discovery of new and better drugs from the original naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloids.

Abstract
Six new pairs of isoquinoline alkaloid enantiomers, designated as yanhusanines A-F (1-6), were isolated from an aqueous extract of Corydalis yanhusuo tubers. The structures of these enantiomers were elucidated via physicochemical analysis and a variety of spectroscopic methods. All compounds were resolved into their enantiomers via chiral-phase HPLC, and their configurations were determined by DP4+ NMR calculation methods, specific rotations, and comparison of experimental and calculated ECD spectra. Compounds 1-6 bear a rare 9-methyl moiety, and compound 1 possesses a rare 1-oxa-6-azaspiro[4.5]decane core containing an N-CHO group. Compounds (+)-2, (-)-2, (+)-4, (-)-4, (+)-5, (-)-5, (+)-6, and (-)-6 exhibited selective inhibitory activities against human carboxylesterase (hCE2), in the IC50 value range of 2.0-13.2 μM.
