Abstract
Seven pairs of undescribed monoterpenoid polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol enantiomers [(±)-hypermonanones A-G (1-7)], together with three known analogues, were identified from the whole plant of Hypericum monanthemum Hook. The structures of these compounds were determined by analyses of their UV, HRESIMS, 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic data, and NMR calculations. The absolute configurations of these compounds were assigned by ECD calculations after chiral HPLC separation. Diverse monoterpene moieties were fused at C-3/C-4 of the dearomatized acylphloroglucinol core, which led to 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-integrated angular or linear type 6/6/6 tricyclic skeletons in 1-7. Compounds (-)-2 and (+)-2 exhibited significant NO inhibitory activity against LPS induced RAW264.7 cells with the IC50 values of 7.07 ± 1.02 μM and 11.39 ± 0.24 μM, respectively.

Abstract
In this work, a new rapid and targeted method for screening α-glucosidase inhibitors from Hypericum beanii was developed and verified. Ten new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), hyperlagarol A-J (1-10), and nine known PPAPs (11-19) were obtained from H. beanii. Their structures were identified by using comprehensive analyses involving mass spectrometry, ultraviolet spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and electron capture dissociation calculations. 1 and 2 are two new rare 2,3-seco-spirocyclic PPAPs, 3 and 4 are two novel 12,13-seco-spirocyclic PPAPs, 5 and 6 are two novel spirocyclic PPAPs, 7 and 8 are two new unusual spirocyclic PPAPs with complex bridged ring systems, and 9 and 10 are two novel nonspirocyclic PPAPs. α-GC inhibitory activities of all isolated compounds were tested. Most of them displayed inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase, with the IC50 values ranging from 6.85 ± 0.65 to 112.5 ± 9.03 μM. Moreover, the inhibitory type and mechanism of the active compounds were further analyzed using kinetic studies and molecular docking.

Abstract
Lysidrhodosides A-I (1-9), nine acylphloroglucinol glucoside derivatives along with three known analogues (10-12) were isolated from the leaves of Lysidice rhodostegia. Their structures and absolute configuration were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis (NMR, UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and acid hydrolysis with HPLC analysis. Notably, compounds 7-9 represent the first examples of 3-methylbutyryl phloroglucinol glucoside dimers isolated from this plant. Additionally, compounds 1-12 were assessed for their inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) in the LPS-induced BV-2 cells. The results showed that compounds 6 and 12 significantly inhibited the production of the inflammatory mediator NO, with an inhibitory rate of 95.96 and 91.13% at a concentration of 50 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Ten undescribed benzophenones, schomburginones A-J, together with 14 known analogs were isolated from the leaves of Garcinia schomburgkiana, an edible plant native to the Indochina region. The structures of the undescribed compounds were elucidated by NMR combined with HRMS spectroscopy, while their absolute configurations were determined using ECD and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The isolated metabolites represent benzophenone derivatives containing a modified monoterpene unit, including tri- and tetracyclic skeletons, which are rarely found in genus Garcinia. The cytotoxic evaluation on three cancerous cell lines demonstrated that schomburginone G, schomburginone H, and 3-geranyl-2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone were active against HeLa cells with IC50 values in the range of 12.2-15.7 μM, respectively, and selective compared to the non-cancerous L929 cells (SI > 3.5). In addition, the three cytotoxic compounds together with clusiacyclol A showed significant NO inhibitory activity in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells over 85% inhibition without obvious cytotoxicity at a final concentration of 100 μM. The promising activities of these compounds in cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory assays make them attractive for further study in the development of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Two new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) possessing a rare benzoyl substituted bicyclo[3.2.1]octane core, hyperxylones A (1) and B (2), along with three new dearomatized isoprenylated acylphloroglucinols (DIAPs), hyperxylones C - E (3-5), were isolated from the roots of Hypericum beanii. The structures of 1-5 were determined by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS) and 1D/2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analyses, gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) NMR calculations, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 were biomimetically semi-synthesized starting from 5 and 4, respectively, enabling the correct stereochemical assignment of 5 and 4. Moreover, compounds 1 and 2 showed anti-nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) activity by inhibiting lipid deposition in L02 cells; compounds 3 and 5 exhibited nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells.

Abstract
Twenty-seven polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) with diverse skeletons, including seven previously undescribed ones (hyperbeanins A-G), were isolated from the aerial parts of Hypericum beanii. Their structures were established by comprehensive analysis of NMR, HRESIMS, and experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Hyperbeanin A was a monocyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (MPAPs) with an unusual spiro-fused cyclopropane ring. Four of the isolated compounds showed obvious hepatoprotective activity against paracetamol-induced HepG2 cell damage at 10 μM. The present results suggested that these compounds would be potential hepatoprotective agents. In addition, the plausible biogenetic pathways of hyperbeanins A-G were proposed, which gave an insight for future biomimetic synthesis of them.

Abstract
Two new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), hyperbeanins P-Q (1-2), and two new biosynthetic precursors, hyperbeanins R-S (3-4), were isolated from Hypericum beanii, together with three known analogs (5-7). Compound 1 was one of type A PPAPs featured with unusual bicyclo[5.3.1]hendecane core. The structures of isolates were established by NMR spectroscopic methods, experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra and comparisons with known compounds. Compounds 5 and 6 showed obvious hepatoprotective activity at 10 µM against paracetamol-induced HepG2 cell damage.

Discovery of dearomatized isoprenylated acylphloroglucinols with colon tumor suppressive activities in mice via inhibiting NFκB-FAT1-PDCD4 signaling activation. Eur J Med Chem 2022; 239:114532. [PMID: 35749988 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2022.114532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Dearomatized isoprenylated acylphloroglucinols (DIAPs) are specific natural products mainly distributed in the plants of genus Hypericum. In this study, guided by HPLC-UV screening, 46 DIAPs (approximately 70% of all DIAPs) including 20 new ones and an unprecedented architecture, were discovered from the roots of Hypericum henryi, which were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic, X-ray crystallography, and ECD methods. Compounds 1-7, 39, and 41-42 exhibited remarkable cytotoxicities (IC50 = 0.84-5.63 μM) in human colon cancer HCT116 cells, in which 2 and 6 possessed selective cytotoxicities towards colon cancer cells. The preliminary structure-activity relationships of these tested compounds were discussed. In addition, mechanistic investigations demonstrated that 2 and 6 could significantly suppress the expressions of NFκB, FAT1, and promoted novel tumor suppressor gene PDCD4 in HCT116 cells. Furthermore, in HCT116 colon xenograft-bearing mouse model, treatments with 2 and 6 reduced the growth of xenograft tumors in dose-dependent manner. Expressions of FAT1 in tumors were also decreased in mice treated with 2 and 6, suggesting their anti-tumor effects were via FAT1 signaling pathway. In conclusion, this is the first report on the mechanistic and in vivo studies of DIAP, indicating that these metabolites can be considered as a new type of anti-colon cancer lead agents for further drug development.

Abstract
Acylphlorostylums A-G (1-7), seven undescribed monoterpenoid polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols, were isolated and identified from Hypericum longistylum. Significantly, acylphlorostylums A and B were the first monoterpenoid polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols possessing a dodecahydro-1H-benzo [b]cyclopenta [e]oxepine moiety bearing a 6/7/5 fused tricyclic ring system that assembled by the attack from 4-OH to C-13. In addition, acylphlorostylums A-G exhibited moderate in vitro immunosuppressive activity in anti-CD3/anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies, lipopolysaccharide and concanavalin A-induced murine splenocyte proliferation, with IC50 values ranging from 1.51 ± 0.12 to 18.49 ± 1.67 μM, underscoring those isolates as novel chemical templates in the development of novel immunosuppressors.

Abstract
(±)-Hypersines A-C (1-3), the three pairs of enantiomerically pure monoterpenoid polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with an unprecedented 6/6/5/4 fused ring system, were isolated from Hypericum elodeoides. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculations. The plausible, biosynthetic pathway of 1-3 was proposed. Moreover, the bioactivity evaluation indicated that 1a might be a novel DNA damage response inhibitor, and could enhance MCF-7 cell sensitivity to the anticancer agent, camptothecin.

Abstract
An enantioselective synthetic approach for preparing manginoids and guignardones, two types of biogenetically related meroterpenoids, is reported. This bioinspired and divergent synthesis employs an oxidative 1,3-dicarbonyl radical-initiated cyclization and cyclodehydration of the common precursor to forge the central ring of the manginoids and guignardones, respectively, at a late stage. Key synthetic steps include silica-gel-promoted semipinacol rearrangement to form the 6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton and the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of vinyl bromide to achieve fragment coupling. This synthesis protocol enables the asymmetric syntheses of four fungal meroterpenoids from commercially available materials.

Two new type B polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) (1 and 2) and a known biogenetic precursor hyperbeanol Q (3) were isolated from the root extract of Hypericum beanii, a medicinal plant widespread in southwest China. Their chemical structures were elucidated by 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS data analysis, and absolute configurations were determined through detailed electric circular dichroism (ECD) analysis including ECD exciton chirality, Mo2(OAc)4-induced ECD, and ECD comparison. Of these compounds, hyperbeone A (1) is a typical [3.3.1]-type B PPAP with an unusual C-1 geranyl side chain, and hyperberin C (2) possesses a rare bicyclo[5.3.1]hendecane core. Taking compound 3 as a starting point, a plausible biosynthetic pathway to the bicyclic type B frameworks of 1 and 2 was proposed.

Abstract
The crisis of antibiotic resistance necessitates creative and innovative approaches, from chemical identification and analysis to the assessment of bioactivity. Plant natural products (NPs) represent a promising source of antibacterial lead compounds that could help fill the drug discovery pipeline in response to the growing antibiotic resistance crisis. The major strength of plant NPs lies in their rich and unique chemodiversity, their worldwide distribution and ease of access, their various antibacterial modes of action, and the proven clinical effectiveness of plant extracts from which they are isolated. While many studies have tried to summarize NPs with antibacterial activities, a comprehensive review with rigorous selection criteria has never been performed. In this work, the literature from 2012 to 2019 was systematically reviewed to highlight plant-derived compounds with antibacterial activity by focusing on their growth inhibitory activity. A total of 459 compounds are included in this Review, of which 50.8% are phenolic derivatives, 26.6% are terpenoids, 5.7% are alkaloids, and 17% are classified as other metabolites. A selection of 183 compounds is further discussed regarding their antibacterial activity, biosynthesis, structure-activity relationship, mechanism of action, and potential as antibiotics. Emerging trends in the field of antibacterial drug discovery from plants are also discussed. This Review brings to the forefront key findings on the antibacterial potential of plant NPs for consideration in future antibiotic discovery and development efforts.

Abstract
In this work, 26 methylated acylphloroglucinol meroterpenoids with diverse skeletons, including 18 new ones (bellumones A-R, 1-18), were identified from the flowers of Hypericum bellum. Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic data, calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Through methylation at C-5, prenylation with different chain lengths of the acylphloroglucinol-derived core, along with different types of secondary cyclization, type A bicyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (BPAPs) (1-5 and 19-24) and dearomatized isoprenylated acylphloroglucinols (DIAPs) (6-18 and 25-26) were obtained. The significant results of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (anti-NASH) activities suggest its usefulness in daily health care.

Zhang R, Ji Y, Zhang X, Kennelly EJ, Long C. Ethnopharmacology of Hypericum species in China: A comprehensive review on ethnobotany, phytochemistry and pharmacology. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 254:112686. [PMID: 32101776 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2019] [Revised: 02/18/2020] [Accepted: 02/19/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Hypericum species have been used traditionally as astringent, antipyretic, diuretic, antiphlogistic, analgesic, and antidepressant in Europe, America, Africa, and Asia. One of the most extensively investigated medicinal herbs, H. perforatum L. (St. John's wort), is widely used in many countries to treat mild to moderate mental depression. Hypericum species are abundant throughout China, including 30 used as ethnomedicines. There are limited publications describing the ethnobotanical uses and biological activities associated with Hypericum species in China. Some reported activities include the treatment of wounds and bruises, irregular menstruation, dysentery, hepatitis, mastitis, jaundice, hemoptysis, and epistaxis. AIM OF THE REVIEW This review aims to critically examine how Hypericum species are used ethnomedicinally in China, to see if the ethnobotanical data may be useful to help prioritize Hypericum species and certain phytochemical constituents that may be new drug leads, and consider the focus and lack of the phytopharmacological study on Hypericum species in China. MATERIALS AND METHODS Classic medicinal books and ethnomedicinal publications were reviewed for the genus Hypericum (called jin si tao in Chinese). In addition, relevant information about ethnobotany, phytochemistry, and pharmacology were from online databases including SciFinder, Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). "Hypericum", "", "ethnobotany", "traditional use", "ethnomedicine", "phytochemistry", "pharmacology" and "bioactivity" were used as keywords when searching the databases. Thus, available articles from 1959 to 2019 were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Among 64 Hypericum species recorded in China, 30 have been used as ethnomedicines by 15 linguistic groups such as Dai, Dong, Han, Miao, and Mongolian people. Hypericum species in China possess traditional uses which are also mirrored in Europe, America, Africa, and other countries in Asia. However, there are some unique ethnomedicinal uses in China. For example, several Hypericum species are used as a local remedy in southwest China, and H. attenuatum Fisch. ex Choisy is used to treat cardiac disorders in northeast China. Antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, antidepressant, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, and antiviral activities have been reported in numerous biological studies. The main phytochemical constituents in Hypericum consist of phloroglucinols, naphthodianthrones, xanthones, flavonoids, and terpenoids. CONCLUSIONS There is a rich traditional knowledge regarding the ethnomedicinal uses of Hypericum species in China. Through phytochemical and pharmacological studies, several medicinal Hypericum from China have yielded many bioactive phytochemicals, possessing antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective properties. Hypericum species from China are potential sources of drugs to fight cancer and other chronic diseases. Remarkably, nearly half of Hypericum species in China have rarely been studied, and their ethnomedicinal potential have not been scientifically evaluated. Thus, in vitro mechanistic studies, in vivo pharmacology, and clinical efficacy are all needed, prioritizing those studies that relate most closely with their traditional uses. In addition, a comprehensive plant-resource evaluation, quality control, and toxicology studies are needed.

Hyperelodiones A-C, monoterpenoid polyprenylated acylphoroglucinols from Hypericum elodeoides, induce cancer cells apoptosis by targeting RXRα. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2020; 170:112216.

Abstract
Hyperelodiones A-C, three undescribed monoterpenoid polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols possessing 6/6/6 fused tricyclic core, were isolated from Hypericum elodeoides Choisy. Their gross structures were elucidated by HRESIMS and NMR data. The absolute configurations of hyperelodiones A-C were assigned by their calculated and compared electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra combined with their common biosynthetic origin. A fluorescence quenching assay suggested that hyperelodiones A-C could bind to RXRα-LBD, whereas hyperelodione C showed the strongest interaction with a KD of 12.81 μΜ. In addition, hyperelodiones A-C dose-dependently inhibited RXRα transactivation and the growth of HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Among them, hyperelodione C showed the most potent inhibitory activities and dose-dependent PARP cleavage. Molecular docking results suggested that hyperelodione C showed a different interaction mode compared with hyperelodione A and hyperelodione B. Thus, hyperelodione C can be considered as a promising lead compound for cancer therapy, which can bind to RXRα-LBD and induce HeLa and MCF-7 cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Six new prenylated acylphloroglucinols with menthane moieties, hypascyrins A-E (1-5) and ent-hyphenrone J (6), together with four known analogues, were isolated from Hypericum ascyron roots. Detailed spectroscopic data analyses resulted in the assignment of their structures. The absolute configuration of 1 was deduced by experimental and calculated ECD data, while those of 2-6 were assigned by ECD data analyses as well as chemical conversions. Hypascyrins A (1), C (3), and E (5) and ent-hyphenrone J (6) exhibited antimicrobial activity against MRSA (MIC50 values of 4.0, 8.0, 2.0, and 4.0 μM, respectively) and Bacillus subtilis (MIC values of 4.0, 4.0, 2.0, and 4.0 μM, respectively).
