Zhang J, Guo XJ, Chen XJ, Zhang RR, Ma BP, Liu ZQ. Ent-atisane diterpenoids from Euphorbia wallichii and their anti-influenza A virus activity. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 220:113996. [PMID: 38311150 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.113996] [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: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
The study entailed the investigation of the roots of Euphorbia wallichii, which resulted in the isolation of 29 ent-atisane diterpenoids (1-29), 14 of which were previously unknown. These previously undescribed ones were named euphorwanoids A-N (3-5, 7, 9, and 10-18). Various techniques, including comprehensive spectroscopic methods and calculated electronic circular dichroism, were employed to determine their molecular structures. Additionally, the absolute configurations of ten ent-atisane diterpenoids (1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14 and 16) were established through X-ray crystallographic analyses. All isolated compounds' potential to inhibit the influenza A virus in vitro were evaluated. Compounds 18, 20, and 24 exhibited notable antiviral activity against the A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 strain. Their effective concentrations for reducing viral activity (EC50 values) were found to be 8.56, 1.22, and 4.97 μM, respectively. An intriguing aspect of this research is that it marks the first instance of ent-atisane diterpenes displaying anti-H1N1 activity. Empirical NMR rules were established with Δδ to distinguish the R/S configurations of C-13 and C-16 in ent-atisanes.

Anti-Inflammatory and Cytotoxic Compounds Isolated from Plants of Euphorbia Genus. Molecules 2024; 29:1083. [PMID: 38474596 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29051083] [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: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Euphorbia is a large genus of the Euphorbiaceae family. Around 250 species of the Euphorbia genus have been studied chemically and pharmacologically; different compounds have been isolated from these species, especially diterpenes and triterpenes. Several reports show that several species have anti-inflammatory activity, which can be attributed to the presence of diterpenes, such as abietanes, ingenanes, and lathyranes. In addition, it was found that some diterpenes isolated from different Euphorbia species have anti-cancer activity. In this review, we included compounds isolated from species of the Euphorbia genus with anti-inflammatory or cytotoxic effects published from 2018 to September 2023. The databases used for this review were Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Springer, and Google Scholar, using the keywords Euphorbia with anti-inflammatory or cytotoxic activity. In this review, 68 studies were collected and analyzed regarding the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities of 264 compounds obtained from 36 species of the Euphorbia genus. The compounds included in this review are terpenes (95%), of which 68% are diterpenes, especially of the types ingenanes, abietanes, and triterpenes (approximately 15%).

Luo D, Zou JW, Wang JH, Tian H, Xie HY, Zhu TX, Zhu HH, Deng LM, Fan CL, Wang H, Wang GC, Zhang YB. Undescribed matrine-type alkaloids from Sophora alopecuroides with anti-inflammatory activity. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 218:113954. [PMID: 38104747 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2023.113954] [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: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
A phytochemical investigation on the alkaloid fractions of Sophora alopecuroides L. led to the production of 11 undescribed matrine-type alkaloids, sophaloseedlines I-S (1-11), 12 known analogs (12-23), and an unexpected artificial matrine-derived Al(III) complex (24). The corresponding structures were elucidated by the interpretation of spectroscopic analyses, quantum chemical calculation, and six instances (1-4, 18, and 24), verified by X-ray crystallography. The biological activities screening demonstrated that none of the isolates exhibited cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines (HepG2, A549, THP-1, and MCF-7) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) at 50 μM, while moderate anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 value from 15.6 to 47.8 μM was observed. The key structure-activity relationships of those matrine-type alkaloids for anti-inflammatory effects have been summarized. In addition, the most potent 7-epi-sophoramine (19) and aluminum sophaloseedline T (24) could effectively inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β), as well as the expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins.

Abstract
Euphorlactone A (1), a rare rearranged ent-atisane norditerpenoid with an undescribed 3-nor-2,4-olide-ent-atisane scaffold, and euphorlactone B (2), a new ent-atisane diterpenoid with an unprecedented seven-membered lactone ring C, were isolated from the roots of Euphorbia fischeriana. Their planar structures with absolute configurations were extensively elucidated by analysis of 1D and 2D NMR data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, Rh2(OCOCF3)4-induced ECD curves, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Euphorlactone A (ELA) showed a remarkable AChE (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitory activity (IC50 = 2.13 ± 0.06 μM and Ki = 0.058 μM), which was five times stronger than that of the positive control (rivastigmine, IC50 = 12.46 ± 0.82 μM), and further in vitro enzyme inhibition kinetic analysis and molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the AChE inhibitory mechanism.
