Combining In Vitro, In Vivo, and Network Pharmacology Assays to Identify Targets and Molecular Mechanisms of Spirulina-Derived Biomolecules against Breast Cancer. Mar Drugs 2024; 22:328. [PMID: 39057437 PMCID: PMC11278317 DOI: 10.3390/md22070328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The current research employed an animal model of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary gland carcinogenesis. The estrogen receptor-positive human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) was used for in vitro analysis. This was combined with a network pharmacology-based approach to assess the anticancer properties of Spirulina (SP) extract and understand its molecular mechanisms. The results showed that the administration of 1 g/kg of SP increased the antioxidant activity by raising levels of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), while decreasing the levels of malonaldehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl. A histological examination revealed reduced tumor occurrence, decreased estrogen receptor expression, suppressed cell proliferation, and promoted apoptosis in SP protected animals. In addition, SP disrupted the G2/M phase of the MCF-7 cell cycle, inducing apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. It also enhanced intrinsic apoptosis in MCF-7 cells by upregulating cytochrome c, Bax, caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-7 proteins, while downregulating Bcl-2 production. The main compounds identified in the LC-MS/MS study of SP were 7-hydroxycoumarin derivatives of cinnamic acid, hinokinin, valeric acid, and α-linolenic acid. These substances specifically targeted three important proteins: ERK1/2 MAPK, PI3K-protein kinase B (AKT), and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Network analysis and molecular docking indicated a significant binding affinity between SP and these proteins. This was verified by Western blot analysis that revealed decreased protein levels of p-EGFR, p-ERK1/2, and p-AKT following SP administration. SP was finally reported to suppress MCF-7 cell growth and induce apoptosis by modulating the PI3K/AKT/EGFR and MAPK signaling pathways suggesting EGFR as a potential target of SP in breast cancer (BC) treatment.

Abstract
The generation of chemically engineered essential oils (CEEOs) prepared from bi-heteroatomic reactions using ammonium thiocyanate as a source of bioactive compounds is described. The impact of the reaction on the chemical composition of the mixtures was qualitatively demonstrated through GC-MS, utilizing univariate and multivariate analysis. The reaction transformed most of the components in the natural mixtures, thereby expanding the chemical diversity of the mixtures. Changes in inhibition properties between natural and CEEOs were demonstrated through acetylcholinesterase TLC autography, resulting in a threefold increase in the number of positive events due to the modification process. The chemically engineered Origanum vulgare L. essential oil was subjected to bioguided fractionation, leading to the discovery of four new active compounds with similar or higher potency than eserine against the enzyme. The results suggest that the directed chemical transformation of essential oils can be a valuable strategy for discovering new acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors.

Abstract
Six new 9H-carbazole derivatives (1-6) and nine previously reported compounds (7-15) were isolated from a fermented solid medium of the Thailand mangrove-derived Streptomyces strain, OUCMDZ-5511, under fluoride stress. Compounds 2-5, 12, and 15 were exclusively present in the fluoride-supplemented fermentation medium, while compounds 7-9, 13, and 14 were newly discovered natural products. The molecular structures of the compounds were identified by a spectroscopic analysis. The new compound 2 displayed antiquorum sensing activity against Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472 by reducing the violacein production and inhibiting the biofilm formation in a concentration-dependent manner. The study revealed that compound 2 could be a novel potential inhibitor of quorum sensing.

Abstract
Marine fungus-derived natural products are an important source of antimicrobial compounds against marine aquatic pathogens. Here, we describe the isolation and characterization of five new pentadepsipeptides, aspertides A-E (1-5), containing a unique p-methoxycinnamoyl amide group, from the marine fungi Aspergillus tamarii MA-21 and Aspergillus insuetus SD-512. Among them, aspertides B-E (2-5) also possessed uncommon amino acid residues, such as 3-hydroxyproline, 2,3-dihydroxyproline, or pipecolinic acid. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of NMR and mass spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configurations of them were established by chiral HPLC analyses of the acidic hydrolysates and NMR calculations with DP4+ probability analysis. In bio-activity assays, compounds 4 and 5 exhibited antibacterial activities against aquatic-pathogenic bacteria, including Edwardsiella tarda, Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio vulnificus, and Staphylococcus aureus, with MIC values of 8-32 μg/mL.

Abstract
This narrative review paper provides an up-to-date overview of the potential of novel synthetic and semisynthetic compounds as antibacterials that target virulence traits in resistant strains. The review focused on research conducted in the last five years and investigated a range of compounds including azoles, indoles, thiophenes, glycopeptides, pleuromutilin derivatives, lactone derivatives, and chalcones. The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is a growing public health concern, and new approaches are urgently needed to combat this threat. One promising approach is to target virulence factors, which are essential for bacterial survival and pathogenesis, but not for bacterial growth. By targeting virulence factors, it may be possible to reduce the severity of bacterial infections without promoting the development of resistance. We discuss the mechanisms of action of the various compounds investigated and their potential as antibacterials. The review highlights the potential of targeting virulence factors as a promising strategy to combat antibiotic resistance and suggests that further research is needed to identify new compounds and optimize their efficacy. The findings of this review suggest that novel synthetic and semisynthetic compounds that target virulence factors have great potential as antibacterials in the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Anti-infection strategies based on suppression of bacterial virulence factors represent a crucial direction for the development of new antibacterial agents to address the resistance triggered by traditional drugs'/pesticides' bactericidal activity. To identify and obtain more effective and diverse molecules targeting virulence, we prepared a series of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-pyridin-4-(1H)-one derivatives and evaluated their antibacterial behaviors. Compound B6 exhibited the highest bioactivity, with half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values ranging fro9m 10.03 to 30.16 μg mL-1 against three plant pathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial mechanism showed that it could considerably reduce various virulence factors (such as extracellular enzymes, biofilm, and T3SS effectors) and inhibit the expression of virulence factor-related genes. In addition, the control efficiency of compound B6 against rice bacterial leaf blight at 200 μg mL-1 was 46.15-49.15%, and their control efficiency was improved by approximately 12% after the addition of pesticide additives. Thus, a new class of bactericidal candidates targeting bacterial virulence factors was developed for controlling plant bacterial diseases.

Abstract
Chemical diversification of substances present in natural product extracts can lead to a number of natural product-like compounds with a better chance of desirable bioactivities. The aim of this work was to discover unprecedented chemical conversion and produce new compounds through a one-step reaction of substances present in the extracts of marine sponges. In this report, a new unnatural tetracyclic bromopyrrole-imidazole derivative, rac-6-OEt-cylindradine A (1), was created from a chemically diversified extract of the sponge Petrosia (Strongylophora) sp. We also confirmed that 1 originated from naturally occurring (-)-cylindradine A (2) via a new reaction pattern. Moreover, (-)-dibromophakellin (3) and 4,5-dibromopyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (4), as well as 2, were reported herein for the first time in this genus. Studies on the possible reaction mechanism and bioactivities were also conducted. The results indicate that the direct chemical diversification of substances present in natural product extracts can be a speedy and useful strategy for the discovery of new compounds.

Abstract
AbstractEnteromorpha prolifera is a nutrient-rich green alga and abound in the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea of China. In this study, E. prolifera was anaerobically digested for biogas production. The variations of chemical compositions and microbial community structure as well as the physical structure of E. prolifera in anaerobic digestion process were investigated. This is the first report of multiple ways to deeply analysis the process of E. prolifera anaerobic digestion. Results from the present work showed that the biogas obtained from E. prolifera anaerobic digestion could achieve 409.7 mL•g− 1 TS with an average methane concentration of 53.2%, and the VFAs content in substrate played a vital role for driving the biogas production of flora. Moreover, S1 of Thermotogaceae and Cenarchaeum, the dominant bacteria and archaea in digestion flora, respectively, played important roles in degrading E. prolifera, acidizing slurry, and providing methanogenic substrate for methanogens.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous opportunistic and nosocomial biofilm-forming pathogen with complex, interconnected and hierarchical nature of QS systems (Las, Rhl, PQS, and IQS), is posing the biggest challenge to the healthcare sector and have made current chemotherapies incapable. Conventional antibiotics designed to intercept the biochemical or physiological processes precisely of planktonic microorganisms exert extreme selective pressure and develop resistance against them thereby emphasizing the development of alternative therapeutic approaches. Additionally, quorum sensing induced pathogenic microbial biofilms and production of virulence factors have intensified the pathogenicity, drug resistance, recurrence of infections, hospital visits, morbidity, and mortality many-folds. In this regard, QS could be a potential druggable target and the discovery of QS inhibiting agents as an anti-virulent measure could serve as an alternative therapeutic approach to conventional antibiotics. Quorum quenching (QQ) is a preferred strategy to combat microbial infections since it attenuates the pathogenicity of microbes and enhances the microbial biofilm susceptibility to antibiotics, thus qualifying as a suitable target for drug discovery. This review discusses the QS-induced pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa, the hierarchical QS systems, and QS inhibition as a drug discovery approach to complement classical antibiotic strategy.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, one of the most intractable Gram-negative bacteria, has become a public health threat due to its outer polysaccharide layer, efflux transporter system, and high level of biofilm formation, all of which contribute to multi-drug resistance. Even though it is a pathogen of the highest concern, the status of the antibiotic development pipeline is unsatisfactory. In this review, we summarize marine natural products (MNPs) isolated from marine plants, animals, and microorganisms which possess unique structures and promising antibiotic activities against P. aeruginosa. In the last decade, nearly 80 such MNPs, ranging from polyketides to alkaloids, peptides, and terpenoids, have been discovered. Representative compounds exhibited impressive in vitro anti-P. aeruginosa activities with MIC values in the single-digit nanomolar range and in vivo efficacy in infectious mouse models. For some of the compounds, the preliminary structure-activity-relationship (SAR) and anti-bacterial mechanisms of selected compounds were introduced. Compounds that can disrupt biofilm formation or membrane integrity displayed potent inhibition of multi-resistant clinical P. aeruginosa isolates and could be considered as lead compounds for future development. Challenges on how to translate hits into useful candidates for clinical development are also proposed and discussed.

Abstract
Interference with quorum sensing (QS) represents an antivirulence strategy with a significant promise for the treatment of bacterial infections and a new approach to restoring antibiotic tolerance. Over the past two decades, a novel series of studies have reported that quorum quenching approaches and the discovery of quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) have a strong impact on the discovery of anti-infective drugs against various types of bacteria. The discovery of QSI was demonstrated to be an appropriate strategy to expand the anti-infective therapeutic approaches to complement classical antibiotics and antimicrobial agents. For the discovery of QSIs, diverse approaches exist and develop in-step with the scale of screening as well as specific QS systems. This review highlights the latest findings in strategies and methodologies for QSI screening, involving activity-based screening with bioassays, chemical methods to seek bacterial QS pathways for QSI discovery, virtual screening for QSI screening, and other potential tools for interpreting QS signaling, which are innovative routes for future efforts to discover additional QSIs to combat bacterial infections. Interference with QSrepresents a promising antivirulence strategy for the treatment of bacterial infections. The discovery ofQSIs was demonstrated as an appropriate strategy to expand the anti-infective therapeutic arsenal to complement classical antibiotics and antimicrobial agents. For the discovery of QSIs, diverse approaches exist and develop in-step with the scale of screening and targeted QS systems. Few previous reviews have summarized the strategies and approaches of QSI screening, whereas this review highlights the recent findings in QSI screening strategies and methodologies.

Abstract
One new diterpenoid, diaporpenoid A (1), two new sesquiterpenoids, diaporpenoids B–C (2,3) and three new α-pyrone derivatives, diaporpyrones A–C (4–6) were isolated from an MeOH extract obtained from cultures of the mangrove endophytic fungus Diaporthe sp. QYM12. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations and a comparison of the specific rotation. Compound 1 had an unusual 5/10/5-fused tricyclic ring system. Compounds 1 and 4 showed potent anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells with IC50 values of 21.5 and 12.5 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Three new alkaloids (1-3) together with four previously reported compounds (4-7) were identified from the extracts and the diversity-enhanced extracts of the fermentation broth of the endophytic fungus, Aspergillus flavus GZWMJZ-288 associated with Garcinia multiflora. The structures of new compounds were respectively determined as 19-amino-19-dehydroxy 5-epi-α-cyclopiazonic acid (1), 2-hydroxymethyl-5-(3-oxobutan-2-yl)aminopyran-4(4H)-one (2) and 4-amino-2-hydroxymethylpyridin-5-ol (3) by spectroscopic analysis, ECD calculation and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Compounds 1 and 4 with 19-enamine were dynamic equilibrium of Z- and E- isomers in the solution but favored in Z- isomers in the solid state, while compound 7 with 19-enol was favored in Z- isomer in the solution but a mixture of Z- and E- isomers in solid state. This phenomenon could be explained by the quantum-mechanical energies calculations. Among the isolated compounds 1-7, compounds 1, 4 and 7 with a rare 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-azaacenaphtho[3,4-c]pyrrolizidine skeleton showed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 41.97 ± 0.97, 232.57 ± 11.45 and 243.95 ± 3.36 μM, respectively, and the binding modes were performed by silico docking studies.

Abstract
NFAT-133 is a Streptomyces-derived aromatic polyketide compound with immunosuppressive, antidiabetic, and antitrypanosomal activities. It inhibits transcription mediated by nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), leading to the suppression of interleukin-2 expression and T cell proliferation. It also activates the AMPK pathway in L6 myotubes and increases glucose uptake. In addition to NFAT-133, a number of its congeners, e.g., panowamycins and benwamycins, have been identified. However, little is known about their modes of formation in the producing organisms. Through genome sequencing of Streptomyces pactum ATCC 27456, gene inactivation, and genetic complementation experiments, the biosynthetic gene cluster of NFAT-133 and its congeners has been identified. The cluster contains a highly disordered genetic organization of type I modular polyketide synthase genes with several genes that are necessary for the formation of the aromatic core unit and tailoring processes. In addition, a number of new analogs of NFAT-133 were isolated and their chemical structures elucidated. It is suggested that the heptaketide NFAT-133 is derived from an octaketide intermediate, TM-123. The current study shows yet another unusual biosynthetic pathway involving a noncanonical polyketide synthase assembly line to produce a group of small molecules with valuable bioactivities.

Abstract
In the last few decades, attention on new natural antimicrobial compounds has arisen due to a change in consumer preferences and the increase in the number of resistant microorganisms. Macroalgae play a special role in the pursuit of new active molecules as they have been traditionally consumed and are known for their chemical and nutritional composition and their biological properties, including antimicrobial activity. Among the bioactive molecules of algae, proteins and peptides, polysaccharides, polyphenols, polyunsaturated fatty acids and pigments can be highlighted. However, for the complete obtaining and incorporation of these molecules, it is essential to achieve easy, profitable and sustainable recovery of these compounds. For this purpose, novel liquid-liquid and solid-liquid extraction techniques have been studied, such as supercritical, ultrasound, microwave, enzymatic, high pressure, accelerated solvent and intensity pulsed electric fields extraction techniques. Moreover, different applications have been proposed for these compounds, such as preservatives in the food or cosmetic industries, as antibiotics in the pharmaceutical industry, as antibiofilm, antifouling, coating in active packaging, prebiotics or in nanoparticles. This review presents the main antimicrobial potential of macroalgae, their specific bioactive compounds and novel green extraction technologies to efficiently extract them, with emphasis on the antibacterial and antifungal data and their applications.

Abstract
The rapid dissemination of antimicrobial resistance amongst microorganisms and their deleterious effect on public health has propelled the exploration of alternative interventions that target microbial virulence rather than viability. In several microorganisms, the expression of virulence factors is controlled by quorum sensing systems. A comprehensive understanding into microbial quorum sensing systems, virulence strategies and pathogenesis has exposed potential targets whose attenuation may alleviate infectious diseases. Such virulence attenuating natural products sourced from the different phyla of bacteria from diverse ecosystems have been identified. In this review, we discuss chemical entities derived from the phylum Actinobacteria that have demonstrated the potential to inhibit microbial biofilms, enzymes, and other virulence factors both in vivo and in vitro. We also review Actinobacteria-derived compounds that can degrade quorum sensing signal molecules, and the genes encoding such molecules. As many Actinobacteria-derived compounds have been translated into pharmaceutically important agents including antibiotics, the identification of virulence attenuating compounds from this phylum exemplifies their significance as a prospective source for anti-virulent drugs.

Abstract
The enzyme tyrosinase is involved in the biosynthesis of melanin and the enzymatic browning of fruits and vegetables, and therefore, its inhibitors have potential to treat hyperpigmentary disorders or to function as food antibrowning agents. The use of hydrazine monohydrate as a reagent to prepare chemically engineered extracts can lead to semisynthetic compounds that contain the portion N-N, a fragment rarely found in natural products and present in some tyrosinase inhibitors. Here, we report the tyrosinase inhibition screening of a series of chemically engineered extracts that are diversified by reaction with hydrazine. LC-MS was used to evaluate the change in composition produced by the reaction. Bioguided fractionation of the most active chemically engineered extract, prepared from Matricaria recutita L., led to the discovery of a pyrazole that inhibits tyrosinase with an IC50 value of 28.20 ± 1.13 μM. This compound was produced by a one-pot double chemical transformation of its natural precursor, which includes an unexpected selective removal of one -OH group.

Abstract
Quorum sensing (QS) is a phenomenon of intercellular communication discovered mainly in bacteria. A QS system consisting of QS signal molecules and regulatory protein components could control physiological behaviors and virulence gene expression of bacterial pathogens. Therefore, QS inhibition could be a novel strategy to combat pathogens and related diseases. QS inhibitors (QSIs), mainly categorized into small chemical molecules and quorum quenching enzymes, could be extracted from diverse sources in marine environment and terrestrial environment. With the focus on the exploitation of marine resources in recent years, more and more QSIs from the marine environment have been investigated. In this article, we present a comprehensive review of QSIs from marine bacteria. Firstly, screening work of marine bacteria with potential QSIs was concluded and these marine bacteria were classified. Afterwards, two categories of marine bacteria-derived QSIs were summarized from the aspects of sources, structures, QS inhibition mechanisms, environmental tolerance, effects/applications, etc. Next, structural modification of natural small molecule QSIs for future drug development was discussed. Finally, potential applications of QSIs from marine bacteria in human healthcare, aquaculture, crop cultivation, etc. were elucidated, indicating promising and extensive application perspectives of QS disruption as a novel antimicrobial strategy.

Abstract
Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) present a promising alternative or potent adjuvants of conventional antibiotics for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, since they could disrupt bacterial pathogenicity without imposing selective pressure involved in antibacterial treatments. This review covers a series of molecules showing quorum sensing (QS) inhibitory activity that are isolated from marine microorganisms, including bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi, and chemically synthesized based on QSIs derived from marine microorganisms. This is the first comprehensive overview of QSIs derived from marine microorganisms and their synthetic analogues with QS inhibitory activity.

Abstract
A naturally new ester, 2,4-dichlorophenyl 2,4-dichloro benzoate (1) and a new compound, 4,5-dihydroxy-7-methylphthalide (2), along with eight known compounds were isolated from the fermentation broth of the marine-derived actinomycete Streptomyces sp. (strain G212). The structures of these compounds were established by their spectral data analysis, including MS, and 2D-NMR. To confirm the structures of the two new compounds 1 and 2, their total syntheses were achieved. These syntheses also allow obtaining enough quantities of 1 and 2 for their biological screening. The isolated compounds and synthetic samples were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against a panel of clinically significant microorganisms. Except for 8 and 10, the remaining compounds were active against at least one tested microbial strain with the MIC values in range of 32-256 μg/mL. Compounds 5, 6, 17 and 2a were found to have a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
A chemical-epigenetic method was used to enhance the chemodiversity of a marine algicolous fungus. Apart from thirteen known compounds, (+)-brevianamide R ((+)-3), (‒)-brevianamide R ((‒)-3), (+)-brevianamide Q ((+)-4), (‒)-brevianamide Q ((‒)-4), brevianamide V ((+)-5), brevianamide W ((‒)-5), brevianamide K (6), diorcinol B (7), diorcinol C (8), diorcinol E (9), diorcinol J (10), diorcinol (11), 4-methoxycarbonyldiorcinol (12), two new compounds, (+)- and (‒)-brevianamide X ((+)- and (‒)- 2)), as well as a new naturally occurring one, 3-[6-(2-methylpropyl)-2-oxo-1H-pyrazin-3-yl]propanamide (1), were isolated from chemical-epigenetic cultures of Aspergillus versicolor OUCMDZ-2738 with 10 µM vorinostat (SAHA). Compared to cultures in the same medium without SAHA, compounds 1–4, 8, 9, 11, and 12 were solely observed under SAHA condition. The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic analysis, specific rotation analysis, ECD, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. (±)-3, (±)-4, and (±)-5 were further resolved into the corresponding optically pure enantiomers and their absolute configurations were determined for the first time. Compounds 11 and 12 showed selective antibacterial against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 17.4 and 13.9 μM, respectively. Compound 10 exhibited better α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the assay control acarbose with IC50 values of 117.3 and 255.3 μM, respectively.
