Bioactive abietenolide diterpenes from Suregada procera. Fitoterapia 2024; 179:106217. [PMID: 39303767 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2024.106217] [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: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 08/18/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
The phytochemical investigation of the leaves and the roots of Suregada procera afforded the new ent-abietane diterpenoid sureproceriolide A (1) along with the known secondary metabolites 8,14β:11,12α-diepoxy-13(15)-abietane-16,12-olid (2), jolkinolide A (3), jolkinolide E (4), ent-pimara-8(14),15-dien-19-oic acid (5), sitosterol (6), oleana-9(11):12-dien-3β-ol (7), and oleic acid (8). Their structures were elucidated by NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses, and the structure of jolkinolide A (3) was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Sureproceriolide A (1) showed modest activity against the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus lugdunensis (MIC = 31.44 μM), and sitosterol (6) against the Gram-negative bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (IC50 = 45.37 μM). Jolkinolide A (3) and E (4) as well as sitosterol (6) inhibited the release of NOS (IMR-90 cells), TNF-α (HaCaT cells) and NF-κB (HaCaT cells), with IC50 values of 0.43, 3.21, and 10.32 μM, respectively. Compound 6 showed antitumoral activity against SK-MEL-28 (IC50 = 20.66 μM) and CCD-13Lu (IC50 = 24.70 μM) cell lines, with no cytotoxic effect against the prostate cells PrEC (CC50 > 300 μM).

Antitumoral activity of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles compounds isolated from the Neowerdermannia vorwerkii in liver and colon human cancer cells. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2022; 201:113259.

Abstract
Two unknown 1,2,4-oxadiazoles (3-(pyridin-3-yl)-5-(thiophen-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole and 5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole) and one known 1,2,4-oxadiazole (5-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole) were isolated from tubers of Neowerdermannia vorwerkii, collected from the San Juan Huancollo, Ingavi province, La Paz, Bolivia. The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated through NMR and HRMS spectroscopic analyses. All compounds showed apoptotic capacity against the SK-HEP-1 and Caco-2 tumour cells. 5-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole and 5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,2, 4-oxadiazole showed slight apoptotic capacities, with an IC50 between 17.46 ± 0.75 to 15.91 ± 0.62 μM and 39.29 ± 0.98 to 34.81 ± 0.70 μM, respectively. 3-(pyridin-3-yl)-5-(thiophen-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole showed a higher apoptotic capacity with an IC50 in the range of 0.98 ± 0.11 to 0.76 ± 0.03 μM, similar to that of the positive control (Dimethylenastron).

Antioxidant and antiproliferative potential of ethanolic extracts from Moringa oleifera, Tropaeolum tuberosum and Annona cherimola in colorrectal cancer cells. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 143:112248. [PMID: 34649364 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Moringa oleifera, Tropaeolum tuberosum and Annona cherimola are medicinal plants traditionally used in Ecuador. However, their therapeutic properties are not completely known. We analyzed chromatographically ethanolic extracts of the seeds of M. oleifera, A. cherimola and the tubers of T. tuberosum; all presented a high content of polyphenols. The extract of A. cherimola showed the highest antioxidant activity and M. oleifera had the highest capacity to enhance the activity of detoxifying enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase and quinone oxidoreductase. The antitumor effect of these extracts was evaluated in vitro with colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines T84, HCT-15, SW480 and HT-29, as well as with cancer stem cells (CSCs). A. cherimola and M. oleifera extracts presented the lowest IC50 in T-84 and HCT-15 (resistant) cells, respectively, as well as the highest level of inhibition of proliferation in multicellular tumor spheroids of HCT-15 cells. The inhibitory effect on CSCs is noteworthy because in vivo, these cells are often responsible for cancer recurrences and resistance to chemotherapy. Moreover, all extracts showed a synergistic activity with 5-Fu. The antiproliferative mechanism of the extracts was related to overexpression of caspases 9, 8 and 3 and increased production of reactive oxygen species. In addition, we observed cell death by autophagy in M. oleifera and T. tuberosum extracts. Therefore, these ethanolic extracts are excellent candidates for future molecular analysis of the presence of bioactive compounds and in vivo studies which could improve colon cancer therapy.

Abstract
Background:
Cancer is a frightful disease and it is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Naturally derived compounds are gaining interest of research workers as they have less toxic side effects as compared to currently used treatments such as chemotherapy. Plants are the pool of chemical compounds which provides a promising future for research on cancer.
Objective:
This review paper provides updated information gathered on medicinal plants and isolated phytoconstituents used as anticancer agents and summarises the plant extracts and their isolated chemical constituents exhibiting anticancer potential on clinical trials.
Methods:
An extensive bibliographic investigation was carried out by analysing worldwide established scientific databases like SCOPUS, PUBMED, SCIELO, ScienceDirect, Springerlink, Web of Science, Wiley, SciFinder and Google Scholar etc. In next few decades, herbal medicine may become a new epoch of medical system.
Results:
Many researches are going on medicinal plants for the treatment of cancer but it is a time to increase further experimental studies on plant extracts and their chemical constituents to find out their mechanism of action at molecular level.
Conclusion:
The article may help many researchers to start off further experimentation that might lead to the drugs for the cancer treatment.

Abstract
Malignant tumor has become one of the major diseases that seriously endangers human health. Numerous studies have demonstrated that tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely associated with patient prognosis. Tumor growth and progression are strongly dependent on its surrounding tumor microenvironment, because the optimal conditions originated from stromal elements are required for cancer cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis and drug resistance. The tumor microenvironment is an environment rich in immune/inflammatory cells and accompanied by a continuous, gradient of hypoxia and pH. Overcoming immunosuppressive environment and boosting anti-tumor immunity may be the key to the prevention and treatment of cancer. Most traditional Chinese medicine have been proved to have good anti-tumor activity, and they have the advantages of better therapeutic effect and few side effects in the treatment of malignant tumors. An increasing number of studies are giving evidence that alkaloids extracted from traditional Chinese medicine possess a significant anticancer efficiency via regulating a variety of tumor-related genes, pathways and other mechanisms. This paper reviews the anti-tumor effect of alkaloids targeting tumor microenvironment, and further reveals its anti-tumor mechanism through the effects of alkaloids on different components in tumor microenvironment.
