Abstract
Natural products represent a paramount source of novel drugs. Numerous plant-derived natural products have demonstrated potent anti-tumor properties, thereby garnering considerable interest in their potential as anti-tumor drugs. This review compiles an overview of 242 recently discovered natural products, spanning the period from 2018 to the present. These natural products, which include 69 terpenoids, 42 alkaloids, 39 flavonoids, 21 steroids, 14 phenylpropanoids, 5 quinolines and 52 other compounds, are characterized by their respective chemical structures, anti-tumor activities, and mechanisms of action. By providing an essential reference and fresh insights, this review aims to support and inspire researchers engaged in the fields of natural products and anti-tumor drug discovery.

Chantriolides F-P, Highly Oxidized Withanolides with Hepatoprotective Activity from Tacca chantrieri. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27238197. [PMID: 36500291 PMCID: PMC9739516 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27238197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Eleven highly oxidized withanolides, chantriolides F-P (1-11), together with six known analogues (12-17), were isolated from the rhizomes of Tacca chantrieri. Their structures were established on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with published NMR data, and their absolute configurations were further confirmed by experimental ECD data and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structures of compounds 5-8 contained a chlorine atom substituted at C-3. Compounds 1 and 12 are a pair of epimers isomerized at C-24 and C-25, while compounds 9 and 16 are isomerized at C-1, C-7, C-24, and C-25. Next, the hepatoprotective effect of all the isolates was evaluated on tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-injured AML12 hepatocytes. Compounds 5-11 and 16 significantly enhanced cell viability. Compound 8 decreased reactive oxygen species accumulation and increased glutathione level in t-BHP injured AML12 hepatocytes through promoting nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).

PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2022; 196:113081. [PMID: 34990975 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2021.113081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Seven previously undescribed cadinane sesquiterpenoids, albocinnamins A‒G, were isolated from the fungus Antrodiella albocinnamomea. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods, as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction. Cadinane sesquiterpenoids were reported from A. albocinnamomea for the first time. All of these sesquiterpenoids possess an unusual ether ring with minor modifications. Albocinnamins D and G showed certain inhibitory activities against nitric oxide production in LPS-activated RAW264.7 macrophages with IC50 values of 26.1 and 19.2 μM, respectively.
