Abstract
Axially chiral compounds are well known in medicinal chemistry of natural products, but their absolute configurations and bioactivities are rarely reported and studied. In this study, eleven undescribed axially chiral dihydrophenanthrene dimers, as well as twenty-five known dihydrophenanthrenes, were isolated from the entire plant of Pholidota yunnanensis. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis. A method for determining the absolute configurations of enantiomers was developed based on the rotational barriers and calculated ECD spectra. Additionally, the activities of all isolated compounds were assessed in LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cells. Most dihydrophenanthrenes exhibited significant NO inhibitory activities, and compound 7 showed the most potent inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 1.5 μM, compared to the positive control minocycline. The immunofluorescence and western blot results revealed that compound 7 suppressed the expression of Iba-1, iNOS and COX-2 in LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells.

Abstract
This study presents an efficient synthetic strategy for phenanthrenes and 1-hydroxyphenanthrenes through aromatization-assisted ring-closing metathesis (RCM). It involves vinylation of 1-bromo-2-naphthaldehyde derivatives, Barbier allylation, and subsequent one-pot RCM/dehydration of the diene precursors to yield phenanthrene derivatives. Further, the corresponding keto analogues of diene precursors produce 1-hydroxyphenanthrenes through RCM and aromatization-driven keto-enol tautomerism. This pathway enables rapid access to a diverse array of functionalized phenanthrenes and 1-hydroxyphenanthrenes, including synthetically challenging derivatives containing both -OH and -OMe groups via the sequential construction of the terminal phenanthrene ring.

Abstract
Two pairs of new dihydrophenanthro[b]furan enantiomers blephebibnols G-H (1-2), one new dihydrophenanthro[b]furan derivative blephebibnol I (3), along with four known analogues (4-7), were isolated from the tubers of Bletilla striata. Their structures including the absolute configurations were determined by the combination of spectroscopic data analysis, ECD and NMR calculations. Compounds 1a, 1b, and 2b showed inhibition of NO production in LPS-stimulated BV-2 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 4.11 to 14.65 μM. Further mechanistic study revealed that 1a suppressed the phosphorylation of p65 subunit to regulate the NF-κB signaling pathway. In addition, some compounds displayed selective cytotoxic activities against HCT-116, HepG2, A549, or HGC27 cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 0.1 to 8.23 μM.

Abstract
Bletilla striata has been used for thousands of years and shows the functions of stopping bleeding, reducing swelling, and promoting healing in traditional applications. For Bletilla striata, Bletilla striata polysaccharides (BSP) is the main active ingredient, exhibiting biological functions of anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-fibrotic, immune modulation, anti-glycation, and so on. In addition, BSP has exhibited the characteristics of excipient such as bio-adhesion, bio-degradability, and bio-safety and has been prepared into a series of preparations such as nanoparticles, microspheres, microneedles, hydrogels, etc. BSP, as both a drug and an excipient, has already aroused more and more attention. In this review, publications in recent years related to the extraction and identification, biological activities, and excipient application of BSP are reviewed. Specifically, we focused on the advances in the application of BSP as a formulation excipient. We hold opinion that BSP not only needed more researches in the mechanisms, but also the development into hydrogels, nano-formulations, tissue engineering, and so on. And we believe that this paper provides a beneficial reference for further BSP innovation and in-depth research and promotes the use of these natural products in pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Herb pair Bletilla striata-Galla chinensis (BS-GC) is a classic combination of topical traditional Chinese medicine formulae in the treatment of chronic skin ulcers (CSUs). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to explore the effective active ingredients of BS-GC, as well as the core targets and signal transduction pathways of its action on CSUs. METHODS The ingredients of BS-GC were obtained from TCMSP and HERB databases. The targets of all active ingredients were retrieved from the SwissTargetPrediction database. The targets of CSUs were obtained from OMIM, GeneCards, Drugbank, and DisGeNET databases. A drug-disease target protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to select the most core targets, and an herb-ingredient-target network was built by utilizing Cytoscape 3.7.2. Furthermore, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database (KEGG) analysis and verified the results of network pharmacology through molecular docking. RESULTS A total of 40 active ingredients from the herb pair BS-GC were initially screened, and a total of 528 targets were retrieved. Meanwhile, the total number of CSU targets was 1032. Then, the number of common targets between BS-GC and CSUs was 107. The 13 core targets of herb pair BS-GC with CSUs were filtered out according to the PPI network, including AKT1, TNF, EGFR, BCL2, HIF1A, MMP-9, etc. The 5 main core active ingredients were 1-(4-Hydroxybenzyl)-2-methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-4,7-diol, 1-(4- Hydroxybenzyl)-4-methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-2,7-diol, physcion, dihydromyricetin, and myricetin. The main biological processes were inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune response, involving the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, HIF-1 signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, and calcium signaling pathway. Molecular docking results showed good binding activity between the 5 main core active ingredients and 13 core targets. CONCLUSION This study predicted the core targets and signal transduction pathways in the treatment of CSUs to provide a reference for further molecular mechanism research.

Abstract
Secondary metabolites extracted from plants have historically been critical for drug discovery, but their isolation involves expensive and complicated procedures in terms of time and labor resources. Thus, the biogenetic pathway offers the possibility of identifying specific compounds that have not yet been isolated and predicting their isolation from specific natural sources. In plants, biphenanthrenes represent a relatively small group of aromatic secondary metabolites that are considered as important taxonomic markers with promising biological activities. To date, 38 mixed phenanthrenoid dimers have been identified, the biosynthesis of which involves the radical coupling of the two subunits, namely, a phenanthrene and a dihydrophenanthrene. For each of the compounds, it is possible to identify the single phenanthrenic and dihydrophenanthrenic units constituting the considered dimer. Based on the biogenetic pathway, it is possible to identify 19 phenanthrenes and 17 dihydrophenanthrenes, and to distinguish those already known from those not yet isolated. By comparing the results of the possible biosynthetic pathway for each compound with the data in the literature, it is possible to identify three known phenanthrenes and seven known dihydrophenanthrenes, as well as eleven new phenanthrenes and five new dihydrophenanthrenes, and to identify from which plant it is possible to isolate them. This could direct the work of researchers seeking to identify known or new molecules useful for their possible biological properties, and ultimately, to confirm the veracity of the proposed and generally accepted biosynthetic pathway.

Abstract
An interesting class of compounds of natural origin is dihydrophenanthrene dimers, which are characterized by a series of remarkable biological properties. Considering the hypothesis that each dimer is obtained through a biosynthetic mechanism that involves the coupling of the corresponding radicals of the single dihydrophenanthrene unit, we identified 29 dihydrophenanthrenes. Of these dihydrophenanthrenes, 11 were new compounds that could be isolated from 10 different plant species; 11 had already been identified, but not yet isolated in the 17 different plant species from which the corresponding dimers had been isolated; and 7 were known and had been isolated in the same plant sources of the corresponding dimers. A targeted analysis of several natural extracts from specific plant sources would allow the identification of known or new molecules with potential and/or specific biological activities and, in a final analysis, would confirm the relative biosynthetic mechanism.

Abstract
Two pairs of novel trimeric dihydrophenanthrene-bibenzyl-dihydrophenanthrene enantiomers (1 and2), the first examples of a dihydrophenanthrene dimer linked to a bibenzyl or dihydrophenanthrene through a C-O-C bond (3 and4), and a pair of rare polymers with a bibenzyl connected to C-8' of the dihydrophenanthro[b]furan moiety via a methylene (5), together with four known compounds (6-9) were isolated from the tubers of Bletilla striata. Their structures including the absolute configurations were determined using spectroscopic data analysis and ECD and NMR calculations, combined with the exciton chirality method or the reversed helicity rule. The atropisomerism of dihydrophenanthrenes and related polymers was considered based on their chiral optical properties, and QM torsion profile calculations, which revealed the racemic mixture form of the polymers. Compounds 4, 5b, 6a and 7b significantly inhibited the production of NO in LPS-induced BV-2 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 0.78 to 5.52 μM. Further mechanistic study revealed that 7b suppressed the expression of iNOS, and suppressed the phosphorylation of the p65 subunit to regulate the NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, compounds 2b, 5a, 5b, 7a and 7b displayed significant protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 3.43-12.30 μM.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Laelia anceps and Cyrtopodium macrobulbon are two orchids used in Mexican traditional medicine for treating pain. AIM OF THE STUDY The individual antinociceptive activity of ethanol extracts from the roots of Laelia anceps (LAE) and Cyrtopodium macrobulbon (CME) was evaluated, and their metabolomic profiles were comparatively evaluated. The antinociceptive activity of CME and naproxen combination (1:1) was also addressed. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antinociceptive actions of LAE and CME were examined using three nociceptive tests. The combination of CME with naproxen was evaluated in the acetic acid test using isobologram analysis. Metabolomic analysis was performed using capillary reversed phase liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-high resolution mass spectrometry and the MS-DIAL 4.70 software was used for data analysis and statistics. RESULTS LAE (ED50 = 48.4 mg/kg) and CME (ED50 = 17.8 mg/kg) showed antinociceptive activity in the acetic acid test. Pre-treatment with L-NAME reverted the antinociceptive effects of LAE and CME in the acetic acid test. LAE (ED50 = 97 mg/kg) and CME (ED50 = 29 mg/kg) also induced antinociceptive activity in the second phase of the formalin test. The combination of CME with naproxen induced synergistic (interaction index = 0.434) antinociceptive effects (ED50 = 10.6 mg/kg). Overall, 156 compounds allocated in 97 different ontologies were found to be differentially expressed in the two orchids; among them, 125 compounds corresponded to LAE and 31 to CME. Three phenanthrene derivatives annotated in CME might be associated with its antinociceptive activity. CONCLUSION LAE and CME induced antinociceptive activity with the possible participation of the nitric oxide pathway. CME in combination with naproxen synergistically produces antinociceptive effects in the acetic acid test. The untargeted metabolomic analysis allowed for annotation of several compounds potentially involved in the therapeutic potential of two plants; among them, three phenanthrene derivatives might contribute to the observed antinociceptive activity.

Abstract
The knowledge that natural products (NPs) are potent and selective modulators of important biomacromolecules (e.g., DNA and proteins) has inspired some of the world’s most successful pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Notwithstanding these successes and despite a growing number of reports on naturally occurring pairs of enantiomers, this area of NP science still remains largely unexplored, consistent with the adage “If you don’t seek, you don’t find”. Statistically, a rapidly growing number of enantiomeric NPs have been reported in the last several years. The current review provides a comprehensive overview of recent records on natural enantiomers, with the aim of advancing awareness and providing a better understanding of the chemical diversity and biogenetic context, as well as the biological properties and therapeutic (drug discovery) potential, of enantiomeric NPs.

The medicinal uses of the genus Bletilla in traditional Chinese medicine: A phytochemical and pharmacological review. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 280:114263. [PMID: 34144194 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Revised: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 05/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Different orchids are important in traditional medicine, and species belonging to the genus Bletilla are important. Bletilla species have been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for the treatment of several health disorders, such as gastrointestinal disorders, peptic ulcer, lung disorders, and traumatic bleeding etc. AIM OF THIS REVIEW: This review aims to provide a systematic overview and objective analysis of Bletilla species and to find the probable relationship between their traditional use, chemical constituents, and pharmacological activities, while assessing their therapeutic potential in treatment of different human diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Relevant literatures on Bletilla species have been collected using the keywords "Bletilla", "phytochemistry", and "pharmacology" in scientific databases, such as "PubMed", "Scifinder", "The Plant List", "Elsevier", "China Knowledge Resource Integrated databases (CNKI)", "Google Scholar", "Baidu Scholar", and other literature sources, etc. RESULTS: This review indicates the isolation and identification of over 261 compounds from this genus, till December 2020. These chemical isolates belong to the stilbenes (bibenzyls and phenanthrenes), flavonoids, triterpenoids, steroids, simple phenolics, and glucosyloxybenzyl 2-isobutylmalates classes of compounds. These compounds have been reported to be characteristically distributed in Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Rchb. f. (BS), Bletilla ochracea Schltr. (BO), and Bletilla formosana (Hayata) Schltr. (BF). The crude extracts and pure compounds derived from the three Bletilla species have reportedly exhibited a wide spectrum of in vitro and in vivo pharmacological effects, such as hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-microbial activities. As a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Bletilla species or preparations containing Bletilla species have been used for the treatment of epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, cough and hemoptysis, gastric and duodenal ulcer, and traumatic injuries. Thus, Bletilla species have proven potential both in traditional uses and scientific studies. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacological studies have validated the use of Bletilla species in the traditional medicine, especially hemorrhagic diseases. Polysaccharides and stilbenes are the major bioactive chemical constituents of Bletilla genus according to the literatures. However, the mechanism of action of these molecules is yet to be studied. In addition, a detailed comparative analysis of the phytochemistry and biological activities of the three Bletilla species (BS, BO and BF) is highly recommended for understanding their ethnopharmacological uses and applications in clinics. Clinical toxicity tests on BS have been found to be negative, but it can't be used with Aconitum carmichaeli in traditional uses. Furthermore, not many reports are present in the literature regarding the conservation of Bletilla species.

Abstract
Four pairs of undescribed racemic bi(9,10-dihydro) phenanthrene and phenanthrene/bibenzyl atropisomers, bletistriatins A-D (1-4), along with 22 known compounds were isolated from the rhizomes of Bletilla striata. These dimeric derivatives were constructed through direct C-C connection or an oxygen bridge. The structures of new compounds were fully established by extensive analysis of MS, and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. Owing to sterically hindered rotation around the biaryl axis, these dimeric 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene derivatives can exist as a pair of enantiomers, but were isolated as racemates. Their racemates were separated to yield enantiomerically pure compounds by HPLC on an optically active stationary phase, and were stereochemically characterized on-line by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy (LC-CD coupling). Some isolates were evaluated for cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines HL-60 and A549. Compounds 13, 17, and 20 showed cytotoxicity against HL-60 and A-549 cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 2.56 to 8.67 μM.

Abstract
Thirteen undescribed phenanthrene and bibenzyl derivatives, named blestanols A-M, including one pair of biphenanthrene enantiomers, two bis 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene ethers, five pairs of 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene/bibenzyl atropisomers, one racemic 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene/bibenzyl dimer, one 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenebibenzyl ether, two pairs of bibenzyl derivatives, and one stilbene, together with 12 known analogues were isolated from the tubers of Bletilla striata. The structures were elucidated via spectroscopic data analysis. 15 compounds were purified to yield enantiomers (a, b) via chiral-phase HPLC, and their configurations were determined by optical rotation values and the comparison of the experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) curves. Blestanols K-L possessed a cycloheptene moiety, which is rarely observed in bibenzyl derivatives. A putative biosynthetic pathway for the identified components is deduced. Among these compounds, 14 compounds showed inhibition of NO production, with IC50 values ranging from 5.0 to 19.0 μM. Eight compounds displayed selective cytotoxic activities against HCT-116, HepG2, BGC-823, A549 or U251 cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 1.4 to 8.3 μM. In addition, their structure-activity relationships are discussed briefly.

Abstract
A new phenanthrene compound, 7-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-8-methoxy-9,10- dihydrophenanthrene-2,5-diol (HMD), along with five known compounds (Coelonin, DD, Shancidin, HDP and MDD) were isolated from the roots of Cymbidium faberi Rolfe. (CFR). Their structures were identified using various spectroscopic methods. These compounds were reported for the first time in the genus. All isolated compounds were tested by radical-scavenging ability against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), cytotoxic activity against three human cancer cell lines and inflammatory activity. Among them, Shancidin exhibited the stronger DPPH-scavenging activity (IC50=6.67 ± 0.84 μΜ) and cytotoxic activity against three tumour cell lines. Except for HDP, all compounds dose-dependently suppressed production of NO, TNF-α, IL-6 in LPS induced mouse primary peritoneal macrophage and showed anti-inflammatory activity. Moreover, 18 compounds were identified by UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS combined with MS database, which provides a basis for further research.

Abstract
An efficient one-pot synthesis of multisubstituted 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes from easily available 2-arylazaarenes and cyclohexadienone-tethered terminal alkynes (1,6-enynes) has been successfully achieved. This domino reaction proceeded smoothly through Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation, direct protonation of alkenyl-Rh intermediates, intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, alkene isomerization, subsequent ring-opening aromatization, and acetylation. This strategy was pot-economical and tolerated a wide range of functional groups. Moreover, the potent anticancer activities against HepG2 cells were observed for these artificial 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene derivatives.
