Abstract
Presently it is estimated that many of the approximately 4000 new natural products isolated every year following complicated, long, and expensive isolation processes are already known; because of this, developing new strategies for locating secondary metabolites of interest in complex extracts or fractions is important. Currently, chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques are being used to optimize the isolation and identification of natural products. In this investigation we have used 13C NMR dereplication analyses for the quick identification of a number of triterpenes (friedelin, lupeol, betulinic acid), sterols (euphol, β-sitosterol) and fatty acids (palmitic acid) present in semipurified fractions obtained from the stem bark extract of Clusia flava and to assist in the isolation of the bioactive metabolites trapezifolixanthone and paralycolin A. The complete and correct assignment of the 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for paralycolin A is reported for the first time and the antioxidant and antiAGEs activity of both metabolites is described.

Label-free biosensing of lignans for therapeutics using engineered model surfaces. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 233:123528. [PMID: 36736979 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123528] [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: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The label-free interaction analysis of macromolecules and small molecules has increasing importance nowadays, both in diagnostics and therapeutics. In the blood vascular system, human serum albumin (HSA) is a vital globular transport protein with potential multiple ligand binding sites. Characterizing the binding affinity of compounds to HSA is essential in pharmaceutics and in developing new compounds for clinical application. Aryltetralin lignans from the roots of Anthriscus sylvestris are potential antitumor therapeutic candidates, but their molecular scale interactions with specific biomolecules are unrevealed. Here, we applied the label-free grating-coupled interferometry (GCI) biosensing method with a polycarboxylate-based hydrogel layer with immobilized HSA on top of it. With this engineered model surface, we could determine the binding parameters of two novel aryltetralin lignans, deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), and angeloyl podophyllotoxin (APT) to HSA. Exploiting the multi-channel referencing ability, the unique surface sensitivity, and the throughput of GCI, we first revealed the specific biomolecular interactions. Traditional label-free kinetic measurements were also compared with a novel, fast way of measuring affinity kinetics using less sample material (repeated analyte pulses of increasing duration (RAPID)). Experiments with well-characterized molecular interactions (furosemide to carbonic-anhydrase (CAII) and warfarin, norfloxacin to HSA) were performed to prove the reliability of the RAPID method. In all investigated cases, the RAPID and traditional measurement gave similar affinity values. In the case of DPT, the measurements and relevant modeling suggested two binding sites on HSA, with dissociation constant values of Kd1 = 1.8 ± 0.01 μM, Kd2 = 3 ± 0.02 μM. In the case of APT, the experiments resulted in Kd1 = 9 ± 1.7 μM, Kd2 = 28 ± 0.3 μM. The obtained binding values might suggest the potential medical application of DPT and APT without further optimization of their binding affinity to HSA. These results could be also adapted to other biomolecules and applications where sample consumption and the rapidity of the measurements are critical.

Abstract
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana, Clusiaceae) is called "queen of fruit" in Southeast Asia. In the current study, three dimeric xanthones, garcinoxanthones A-C, and four monomeric xanthones, garcinoxanthones D-G, together with 18 known xanthones, were isolated from the pericarps of G. mangostana, collected in Thailand. The structures of garcinoxanthones A-G were elucidated by analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR and other spectroscopic data, and their absolute configurations were determined by the CD spectra. All seven compounds were tested for nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Garcinoxanthones B and C significantly inhibited NO production with IC50 values of 11.3 ± 1.7 and 18.0 ± 1.8 μM, respectively, which were comparable with the positive control indomethacin (IC50 3.9 ± 0.3 μM). Moreover, garcinoxanthone B suppressed inducible NO synthase expression in a dose-dependent manner. These results reveal the presence of rare dimeric xanthones in G. mangostana and their NO inhibitory effect on LPS-stimulated murine macrophage cells.

Abstract
Bioassay-guided fractionation using antimicrobial assay of the crude acetonic extract of Garcinia goudotiana leaves and of its five partitions led to the isolation of two new prenylated benzoylphloroglucinol derivatives, goudotianone 1 (1) and goudotianone 2 (2), in addition to two known compounds including one xanthone, 1,3,7-trihydroxy-2-isoprenylxanthone (3), and one triterpenoid, friedelin (4). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of different spectroscopic methods, including extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The crude acetonic extract, the methylene chloride and ethyl acetate partitions, and some tested compounds isolated from this species (1-3) demonstrated selective significant antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive bacteria, in particular Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Enterococcus faecalis and Mycobacterium smegmatis. The potential cytotoxic activities of these extracts and compounds were evaluated against human colon carcinoma HT29 and human fetal lung fibroblast MRC5 cells.

Abstract
The air-dried powdered stem bark of Calophyllum nodusum (Guttiferea) collected from Sandakan (Sabah, Malaysia), was extracted sequentially with hexane, chloroform and methanol. The solvents were removed by rotary evaporator to give dark viscous extracts. Detailed and repeated chromatographic separation of the extracts lead to isolation of two new xanthones, identified as nodusuxanthone (1a) and trapezifolixanthone A (2). Other common terpenoids such as betulinic acid, lupeol, stigmasterol and friedelin were also isolated from the extracts and identified. The structures of the compounds were established by detailed spectral analysis and comparison with previously reported data.

Abstract
In an attempt to determine the relationships between the plant profiles (country of collection, taxonomy, plant part) and the compound classes isolated with cytotoxic activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines, the data compiled from a 15-year anticancer drug-discovery project were subjected to an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicate significant trends in cytotoxic activity relative to collection location, taxonomy, plant part, and compound classes isolated. Plant collections were made in tropical forests in six countries, with collections from Ecuador resulting in higher activity than those from Indonesia and Peru. Interestingly, collections from Florida were not statistically different than those from the countries with higher biodiversity. One hundred and forty-five families were represented in the collections, with the Clusiaceae, Elaeocarpaceae, Meliaceae, and Rubiaceae having low ED50 (half maximal effective dose) values. Especially active genera included Aglaia, Casearia, Exostema, Mallotus, and Trichosanthes. Roots and below-ground plant materials were significantly more active than above-ground materials. Cucurbitacins, flavaglines, anthraquinones, fatty acids, tropane alkaloids, lignans, and sesquiterpenoids were significantly more active than xanthones and oligorhamnosides. The results from this study should serve as a guide for future plant collection endeavors for anticancer drug discovery.

Abstract
Twelve extracts obtained from nine plants belonging to six different genera of Clusiaceae were analyzed against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis) bacteria using the microdilution broth assay. Tovomita aff. longifolia, T. brasiliensis, Clusia columnaris, Garcinia madruno, Haploclathra paniculata, and Caraipa grandifolia extracts showed significant results against the bacteria. The organic extract obtained from the leaves of T. aff. longifolia showed minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 70 microg/ml and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) = 90 microg/ml against E. faecalis and the organic extract made with the stem of C. columnaris showed MIC = 180 microg/ml and MBC = 270 microg/ml against P. aeruginosa. None of the antibacterial extracts showed lethal activity against brine shrimp nauplii. On the other hand, both aqueous and organic extracts obtained from the aerial organs of Vismia guianensis that were cytotoxic to brine shrimp nauplii did not show a significant antibacterial activity in the assay.

Abstract
Two dichromenoxanthones [1,6-dihydroxy-6',6'-dimethylpyrano(2',3':3,4)-6'',6''-dimethylpyrano(2'',3'':7,8)xanthone (brasilixanthone A) and 1,6-dihydroxy-6',6'-dimethylpyrano(2',3':2,3)-6'',6''-dimethylpyrano(2'',3'':7,8)xanthone (brasilixanthone B)], along with betulinic acid, friedelin, sitosterol and stigmasterol were isolated from the roots and stems of Tovomita brasiliensis. Their structures were characterized on the basis of 1H and 13C NMR spectral data, including 2D NMR experiments.

Abstract
Five benzophenones, vismiaguianones A-E, and two benzocoumarins, vismiaguianins A and B were isolated from the CHCl3 extract of the roots of Vismia guianensis by bioassay-directed fractionation using the DNA strand-scission assay and KB cell line. Of the isolates obtained, vismiaguianone B exhibited DNA strand-scission activity, whereas vismiaguianones D and E and vismiaguianin A were found to be significantly cytotoxic.
