Abstract
Phytotherapy is an attractive strategy to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that could be especially useful in developing countries. We previously demonstrated the intestinal anti-inflammatory effect of the total ethereal extract from the Physalis peruviana (Cape gooseberry) calyces in TNBS-induced colitis. This work investigates the therapeutic potential of Peruviose A and B, two sucrose esters that constitute the major metabolites of its calyces. The effect of the Peruvioses A and B mixture on TNBS-induced colitis was studied after 3 (preventive) and 15-days (therapy set-up) of colitis induction in rats. Colonic inflammation was assessed by measuring macroscopic/histologic damage, MPO activity, and biochemical changes. Additionally, LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with test compounds to determine the effect on cytokine imbalance in these cells. Peruvioses mixture ameliorated TNBS-induced colitis in acute (preventive) or established (therapeutic) settings. Although 3-day treatment with compounds did not produce a potent effect, it was sufficient to significantly reduce the extent/severity of tissue damage and the microscopic disturbances. Beneficial effects in the therapy set-up were substantially higher and involved the inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes (iNOS, COX-2), cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), as well as epithelial regeneration with restoration of goblet cells numbers and expression of MUC-2 and TFF-3. Consistently, LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells produced less NO, PGE2, TNF-α, IL-6, and MCP-1. These effects might be related to the inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Our results suggest that sucrose esters from P. peruviana calyces, non-edible waste from fruit production, might be useful as an alternative IBD treatment.

Abstract
Twenty-four new phenylpropanoid esters of sucrose, phanerosides A-X (1-24), were isolated from an EtOH extract of the rattans of Phanera championii Benth. (Fabaceae). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. A wide range of structural analogues were presented due to the different numbers and positions of acetyl substituents and the structures of phenylpropanoid moieties. Phenylpropanoid esters of sucrose were isolated from the Fabaceae family for the first time. Biologically, the inhibitory effects of compounds 6 and 21 on NO production in LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cells were better than that of the positive control, with IC50 values of 6.7 and 5.2 μM, respectively. The antioxidant activity assay showed that compounds 5, 15, 17, and 24 displayed moderate DPPH radical scavenging activity, with IC50 values ranging from 34.9 to 43.9 μM.

Abstract
Eight previously unreported phenolic acids (1-8), including three new phenylpropenoid glycosides (1-3), and five undescribed shikimic acid derivatives (4-8), together with six known analogues (9-14), were obtained from the dried leaves of Illicium dunnianum. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses (1D, 2D-NMR, HRESIMS, IR, UV) and chemical methods. Compounds 1, 2, 4, and 5 were tested for their promotion effect on osteoblastogenesis of pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells and inhibitory effect on osteoclastogenesis of RANKL-induced RAW264.7 cells. As a result, 1 and 4 exerted a promotion effect on osteoblastogenesis, but without activity on osteoclastogenesis. Our studies not only enrich the structural diversity of phenolic acids in nature, but also discover new lead compounds from folk plants with activities on osteoblastogenesis or osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Phenolic sucrose esters (PSEs) are a diverse group of specialized metabolites that are present in several angiosperm lineages. Phylogenetic reconstruction and structural variation suggest that these metabolites may have evolved independently in monocots and dicots. Constitutive variation in PSE abundance across plant organs and developmental stages is correlated with transcriptional regulation of the upstream phenylpropanoid pathway, whereas pathogen induction is regulated by stress-related phytohormones such as ethylene. Shared structural features of PSEs indicate that their biosynthesis may involve one or more hydroxycinnamoyl transferases and BAHD acetyltransferases, which could be identified by correlative analyses of multi-omics datasets. Elucidation of the core biosynthetic pathway of PSEs will be essential for more detailed studies of the biological function of these compounds and their potential medicinal and agricultural applications.

Isolation, Characterization and In Silico Studies of Secondary Metabolites from the Whole Plant of Polygala inexpectata Peşmen & Erik. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27030684.

Abstract
Polygala species are frequently used worldwide in the treatment of various diseases, such as inflammatory and autoimmune disorders as well as metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, due to the large number of secondary metabolites they contain. The present study was performed on Polygala inexpectata, which is a narrow endemic species for the flora of Turkey, and resulted in the isolation of nine known compounds, 6,3'-disinapoyl-sucrose (1), 6-O-sinapoyl,3'-O-trimethoxy-cinnamoyl-sucrose (tenuifoliside C) (2), 3'-O-(O-methyl-feruloyl)-sucrose (3), 3'-O-(sinapoyl)-sucrose (4), 3'-O-trimethoxy-cinnamoyl-sucrose (glomeratose) (5), 3'-O-feruloyl-sucrose (sibiricose A5) (6), sinapyl alcohol 4-O-glucoside (syringin or eleutheroside B) (7), liriodendrin (8), and 7,4'-di-O-methylquercetin-3-O-β-rutinoside (ombuin 3-O-rutinoside or ombuoside) (9). The structures of the compounds were determined by the spectroscopic methods including 1D-NMR (1H NMR, 13C NMR, DEPT-135), 2D-NMR (COSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC), and HRMS. The isolated compounds were shown in an in silico setting to be accommodated well within the inhibitor-binding pockets of myeloperoxidase and inducible nitric oxide synthase and anchored mainly through hydrogen-bonding interactions and π-effects. It is therefore plausible to suggest that the previously established anti-inflammatory properties of some Polygala-derived phytochemicals may be due, in part, to the modulation of pro-inflammatory enzyme activities.

Abstract
Bioassay-guided investigation of the Saudi medicinal and edible plant Cissus rotundifolia yielded seven metabolites, including the new sucrose diester cissuxinoside (1) and the unprecedented cissoic acid (2), belonging to unusual classes of secondary metabolites. Their chemical structures were elucidated through a combination of HR-MS and NMR data. The absolute configuration of cissoic acid was assigned by comparison of experimental and TDDFT-calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. In addition, three rare C-glycosyl flavones (3-5) were fully characterized, and for 3 and 4 NMR data are reported here for the first time. This study identified 1-O-(4-coumaroyl)-β-d-glucopyranose (7) as the main compound responsible for the glucose uptake stimulation effect exerted by the extract.

Novel natural products 7R, 8R, 7′R, 9′S-verniciasin A (1a), 7S, 8S, 7′S, 9′R- verniciasin A (1b), 7R, 8R, 7′R, 9′S−7′-methoxylverniciasin A (2a) and 7S, 8S, 7′S, 9′R−7′-methoxylverniciasin A (2b) were characterized from the seed capsule of Vernicia fordii. And the unique 9-O-9′−7, 9′-cyclo-8, 1′-neolignan skeleton with a seven-membered ring, was identified by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Further the possible biosynthetic pathway was briefly discussed. Interestingly, 1a, 2a, 1b and 2b all exhibited significant stereoselective inhibitory effects on NO production in LPS-induced BV2 microglia cell. Then the primary mechanism of the bioactivities and stereoselectivity was explored by means of bioassay and molecular docking.

Abstract
Macrophages play major roles in inflammation, immunity and host defense mechanisms. Once activated they produce and release cytokines, oxygen and nitrogen species, and eicosanoids. The best characterized stimuli to induce the transcription of genes encoding pro-inflammatory proteins in macrophages in vitro is bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS could be used alone or in combination with recombinant mouse interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Such stimulation results in cytokine release and the synthesis of enzymes such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The nitric oxide (NO) radical is known to play a central role in inflammatory and immune reactions for self-protection. However, the excessive production of NO may lead to tissue damage. In inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, excessive NO production by activated macrophages has been observed. Adipose tissue is composed of various cell types such as mature adipocytes, preadipocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, vascular cells, and macrophages. Recent studies indicate that obesity is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation of adipose tissues, and that such inflammation is one of the potential mechanisms leading to the insulin resistance. It has been demonstrated that obese adipose tissue is characterized by the increased infiltration of macrophages. Therefore, we attempted to identify natural anti-inflammatory compounds that not only inhibit the secretion of NO from RAW 264.7 cells, but also inhibit triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. This review describes the NO prpduction inhibitory activity or the TG accumulation inhibitory activity of the compounds obtained from 18 plants and a fungi that have been used as traditional medicines.

Abstract
A great number of naturally occurring oligosaccharides and oligosaccharide esters have been isolated from traditional Chinese medicinal plants, which are used widely in Asia and show prominent curative effects in the prevention and treatment of kinds of diseases. Numerous in vitro and in vivo experiments have revealed that oligosaccharides and their esters exhibited various activities, including antioxidant, antidepressant, cytotoxic, antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, cerebral protective, antidiabetic, plant growth-regulatory, and immunopotentiating activities. This review summarizes the investigations on the distribution, chemical structures, and bioactivities of natural oligosaccharides and their esters from traditional Chinese medicines between 2003 and 2013.

Abstract
To date, the structures of the sucrose tetraester (STE) isomers, a main kind of sucrose esters (SEs) in Solanum, have not been conclusively assigned. In this study, three groups of STE isomers with the molecular weight 650, 664 and 678 (designated as STE I, STE II and STE III, respectively) have been isolated and purified from the oriental tobacco-Komotini Basma using a semi-preparative RP-HPLC method. The full characterization of the isomers in the three groups of STE were investigated for the first time by MS (HRMS, MS(2)) and NMR ((1)H, (13)C, HSQC) spectroscopy combined with alkaline hydrolysis and STE derivation experiments. The STE III (a single compound) was confirmed as a known sucrose tetraester. Furthermore, the STE II was found to contain three isomers and the structures were first unambiguously established as 6-O-acetyl (2,3 or 2,4 or 3,4)-di-O-3-methylvaleryl-(4 or 3 or 2)-O-2-methylbutyryl-α-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-fructofuranoside. Finally, the STE I was discovered to contain seven isomers and the structures were elucidated as 6-O-acetyl (2 or 3 or 4)-O-3-methylvaleryl-(3,4 or 2,4 or 2,3)-di-O-2-methylbutyryl-α-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-fructofuranoside, 6-O-acetyl (2 or 3 or 4)-O-3-methylvaleryl-(3,4 or 2,4 or 2,3)-di-O-isovaleryl-α-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-fructofuranoside and 6-O-acetyl (2,3 or 2,4 or 3,4)-di-O-3-methylvaleryl-(4 or 3 or 2)-O-isobutyryl-α-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-fructofuranoside (one of the 3 isomers).

Abstract
Bioactivity-guided separation of an antihyperglycemic extract from the leaves of Dodecadenia grandiflora afforded two phenylpropanoyl esters of catechol glycosides (1 and 4) and two lignane bis(catecol glycoside)esters (2 and 3). Their structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis (1D and 2D-NMR, MS). Compounds 2 and 3 are believed to be derived from dimerization via the two phenylpropanoid units of 1. Compounds 1-4 showed significant antihyperglycemic activity in streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetic rats, which is comparable to the standard drug metformin. Our results provide support to explain the use of D. grandiflora as antihyperglycemic agent by the traditional medical practitioners.

Abstract
Dunalianosides A-I (1-9), esters of arbutin and related phenolic glucosides, were isolated from the buds of Vaccinium dunalianum Wight (Ericaceae) together with 20 known compounds, and their structures were established on the basis of 1- and 2D NMR spectroscopic evidence. Dunalianosides F-H were dimers of p-hydroxyphenyl 6-O-trans-caffeoyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (10). The latter was obtained in extraordinary high yield (22% of dry weight), and dunalianoside I (9) was found to be a conjugate of arbutin with an iridoid glucoside.

Abstract
This paper provides a preliminary evaluation of fifty-eight ethnomedicinal plants used in Trinidad and Tobago for skin problems, stomach problems, pain and internal parasites for safety and possible efficacy. Thirty respondents, ten of whom were male were interviewed from September 1996 to September 2000 on medicinal plant use for health problems. The respondents were obtained by snowball sampling, and were found in thirteen different sites, 12 in Trinidad and one in Tobago. The uses are compared to those current in Asia. Bambusa vulgaris, Bidens alba, Jatropha curcas, Neurolaena lobata, Peperomia rotundifolia and Phyllanthus urinaria are possibly efficacious for stomach problems, pain and internal parasites. Further scientific study of these plants is warranted.

Abstract
Sucrose esters from the surface of leaves of Nicotiana tabacum L. have been shown to possess interesting biological activities. We developed a simple and effective method for their analysis using HPTLC silica gel plates, n-hexane-ethyl acetate (1:3, v/v) as developing solvent and aniline-diphenylamine as a detection reagent. Off-line TLC-MS was also used for the detection and identification of the compounds. Solutions containing sucrose esters upon alkaline hydrolysis give sucrose, which is used for indirect estimation by TLC of the sucrose ester content. The method is applicable for the screening for sucrose esters in plant extracts. The extract obtained from the surface of green leaves of oriental tobacco type Prilep P-23 contains sucrose esters and is effective against Myzus persicae (Sulzer) in laboratory and field experiments.
