Yang F, Yang B, Song K, Jin Y, Wang G, Li P, Yu Q, Ling F. Natural product honokiol exhibits antiviral effects against Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) both in vitro and in vivo. JOURNAL OF FISH DISEASES 2024; 47:e13915. [PMID: 38191774 DOI: 10.1111/jfd.13915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) is a formidable pathogen, presenting a grave menace to juvenile largemouth bass. This viral infection frequently leads to epidemic outbreaks, resulting in substantial economic losses within the aquaculture industry. Unfortunately, at present, there are no commercially available vaccines or pharmaceutical treatments to combat this threat. In order to address the urgent need for therapeutic strategy to resist MSRV infection, the antiviral activity of natural product honokiol against MSRV was explored in this study. Firstly, cellular morphology was directly observed in an inverted microscope when treated with honokiol after MSRV infection. The results clarified that honokiol significantly lessened cytopathic effect (CPE) induced by MSRV and protected the integrity of GCO cells. Furthermore, the viral nucleic acid expression (G gene) was detected by reverse transcription real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and the results indicated that honokiol significantly decreased the viral loads of MSRV in a concentration-dependent manner, and honokiol showed a high antiviral activity with IC50 of 2.92 μM. Besides, honokiol significantly decreased the viral titre and suppressed apoptosis caused by MSRV. Mechanistically, honokiol primarily inhibited the initial replication of MSRV and discharge of progeny virus to exert anti-MSRV activity. More importantly, in vivo experiments suggested that honokiol (40 mg/kg) expressed a fine antiviral activity against MSRV when administrated with intraperitoneal injection, which led to a notable 40% improvement in the survival rate among infected largemouth bass. In addition, it also resulted in significant reduction in the viral nucleic acid expression within liver, spleen and kidney at 2, 4 and 6 days following infection. What is more, 100 mg/kg honokiol with oral administration also showed certain antiviral efficacy in MSRV-infected largemouth bass via improving the survival rate by 10.0%, and decreasing significantly the viral nucleic acid expression in liver, spleen and kidney of largemouth bass on day 2. In summary, natural product honokiol is a good candidate to resist MSRV infection and has promising application prospects in aquaculture.

Abstract
The development of Dai medicine is relatively slow, and Zanthoxylum has great economic and medicinal value. It is still difficult to obtain medicinal components from the low-polarity parts of Zanthoxylum belonging to Dai medicine. In this study, we introduced one simple and quick strategy of separating target compounds from the barks of Z. acanthopodium var. timbor by high-performance countercurrent chromatography (HPCCC) with an off-line anti-inflammatory activity screening mode. The development of this strategy was based on the TLC-based generally useful estimation of solvent systems (GUESS) method and HPCCC in combination. This paper presented a rapid method for obtaining target anti-inflammatory compounds. Three lignins were enriched by HPCCC with an off-line inhibition mode of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells, using petroleum ether-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (3:2:3:2) as the solvent system. The results showed that this method was simple and practical and could be applied to trace the anti-inflammatory components of the low-polarity part in Dai medicine.

Abstract
Largemouth bass virus (LMBV) is a systemic viral pathogen that can cause high mortality rates in cultivated largemouth bass. However, no treatment is currently approved. Therapeutic strategies against LMBV infection are urgently needed. In this study, we investigated the antiviral activity of piperine against LMBV in vitro and in vivo. In vitro antiviral activity assay showed that 210.28 μM piperine significantly decreased LMBV major capsid protein (MCP) gene expression in epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells by a maximum inhibitory rate of >95%. Piperine treatment inhibited LMBV replication in a dose-dependent manner, with the half-maximal activity (IC50 ) of 34.61 μM. Moreover, piperine significantly decreased the viral titers and cytopathic effects (CPE), contributing to the protection of infected cells. With regard to the steps of piperine affecting the life cycle of viruses, piperine had a direct inactivating effect on LMBV. During the virus adsorption phase, piperine prevented the adsorption of LMBV to EPC cells. Furthermore, piperine played an antiviral role mainly in the later stages of viral infection (4-8 h). To further evaluate the antiviral activity of piperine against LMBV in vivo, largemouth bass as a model organism was carried out in relevant experiments. Intraperitoneal injection of piperine (25 mg/kg) effectively improved the survival rate of LMBV-infected largemouth bass by 20%. In addition, RT-qPCR results of viral replication in liver, spleen, kidney, gill and swim bladder tissues showed that piperine significantly inhibited LMBV replication in vivo, thus protecting largemouth bass from LMBV-induced death. Together, our results suggested that piperine is a therapeutic and preventative agent against LMBV infection.

Abstract
In this study, the new phthalonitrile derivative 3-(4-(3-oxobutyl)phenoxy)phthalonitrile (1) and its non-peripheral metallophthalocyanine derivatives [zinc (2), copper (3), cobalt (4), manganese (5), gallium (6), and indium (7)] were synthesized. The newly synthesized phthalocyanines were characterized by standard spectroscopic methods, such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopies, and MALDI-TOF spectrometry. Aggregation behaviors of the novel phthalocyanines were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The effect of pH change on the electronic and emission spectra of the newly synthesized phthalocyanine derivatives was studied in THF media. The electronic spectra of the new zinc (2), copper (3), and cobalt (4) phthalocyanines exhibited bathochromic shifts in acidic pH values due to the presence of monoprotonated forms. Surprisingly, the same effect was not observed for manganese (5) and indium (7) phthalocyanines. On the other hand, gallium (6) showed a slight red-shifted band with the addition of HCl to the medium. Also, it was determined that the synthesized zinc (2) and gallium (6) phthalocyanines had a selective phototoxic effect on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line compared to the MCF-10A healthy breast cell line. The IC50 values of zinc (2) and gallium (6) phthalocyanines were determined for MCF-7 and MCF-10A cell lines. The IC50 values of MCF-7 for compounds 2 and 6 were found to be 1.721 ± 0.4 μg mL-1 and 7.406 ± 0.32 μg mL-1, respectively. The IC50 values of MCF-10A for phthalocyanines 2 and 6 were found to be 48.90 ± 0.69 μg mL-1 and 14.77 ± 1.09 μg mL-1, respectively. In the LDH (lactate dehydrogenase)-ELISA study, the LDH levels that formed on a cellular basis after the application were measured, and it was observed that the cells were directed towards apoptosis. In addition, it was observed that cancer cells underwent more apoptosis than healthy cells as a result of this application with cell-cycle and dead cell kits performed by flow cytometry. This research shows that non-peripheral substituted gallium and zinc phthalocyanine derivatives (2 and 6) can be suitable photosensitizers for the photodynamic treatment of breast cancers.

Molecular networking and collision cross section prediction for structural isomer and unknown compound identification in plant metabolomics: a case study applied to Zhanthoxylum heitzii extracts. Anal Bioanal Chem 2022; 414:4103-4118. [PMID: 35419692 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-04059-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based plant metabolomics allow large-scale analysis of a wide range of compounds and the discovery of potential new active metabolites with minimal sample preparation. Despite recent tools for molecular networking, many metabolites remain unknown. Our objective is to show the complementarity of collision cross section (CCS) measurements and calculations for metabolite annotation in a real case study. Thus, a systematic and high-throughput investigation of root, bark, branch, and leaf of the Gabonese plant Zhanthoxylum heitzii was performed through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF/MS). A feature-based molecular network (FBMN) was employed to study the distribution of metabolites in the organs of the plants and discover potential new components. In total, 143 metabolites belonging to the family of alkaloids, lignans, polyphenols, fatty acids, and amino acids were detected and a semi-quantitative analysis in the different organs was performed. A large proportion of medical plant phytochemicals is often characterized by isomerism and, in the absence of reference compounds, an additional dimension of gas phase separation can result in improvements to both quantitation and compound annotation. The inclusion of ion mobility in the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry workflow (UHPLC-IMS-MS) has been used to collect experimental CCS values in nitrogen and helium (CCSN2 and CCSHe) of Zhanthoxylum heitzii features. Due to a lack of reference data, the investigation of predicted collision cross section has enabled comparison with the experimental values, helping in dereplication and isomer identification. Moreover, in combination with mass spectra interpretation, the comparison of experimental and theoretical CCS values allowed annotation of unknown features. The study represents a practical example of the potential of modern mass spectrometry strategies in the identification of medicinal plant phytochemical components.

Induction of apoptotic cell death in human bladder cancer cells by ethanol extract of Zanthoxylum schinifolium leaf, through ROS-dependent inactivation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Nutr Res Pract 2022; 16:330-343. [PMID: 35663445 PMCID: PMC9149322 DOI: 10.4162/nrp.2022.16.3.330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 10/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Zanthoxylum schinifolium is traditionally used as a spice for cooking in East Asian countries. This study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-proliferative potential of ethanol extracts of Z. schinifolium leaves (EEZS) against human bladder cancer T24 cells. MATERIALS/METHODS Subsequent to measuring the cytotoxicity of EEZS, the anti-cancer activity was measured by assessing apoptosis induction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). In addition, we determined the underlying mechanism of EEZS-induced apoptosis through various assays, including Western blot analysis. RESULTS EEZS treatment concentration-dependently inhibited T24 cell survival, which is associated with apoptosis induction. Exposure to EEZS induced the expression of Fas and Fas-ligand, activated caspases, and subsequently resulted to cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. EEZS also enhanced the expression of cytochrome c in the cytoplasm by suppressing MMP, following increase in the ratio of Bax:Bcl-2 expression and truncation of Bid. However, EEZS-mediated growth inhibition and apoptosis were significantly diminished by a pan-caspase inhibitor. Moreover, EEZS inhibited activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway, and the apoptosis-inducing potential of EEZS was promoted in the presence of PI3K/Akt inhibitor. In addition, EEZS enhanced the production of ROS, whereas N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), a ROS scavenger, markedly suppressed growth inhibition and inactivation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway induced by EEZS. Furthermore, NAC significantly attenuated the EEZS-induced apoptosis and reduction of cell viability. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results indicate that exposure to EEZS exhibits anti-cancer activity in T24 bladder cancer cells through ROS-dependent induction of apoptosis and inactivation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Comparative Study of Bioactivity and Safety Evaluation of Ethanolic Extracts of Zanthoxylum schinifolium Fruit and Pericarp. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26195919. [PMID: 34641463 PMCID: PMC8512002 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26195919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
The fruit and pericarp of Zanthoxylum schinifolium (ZS) have been used in traditional medicine; however, few studies have characterized ZS fruit and pericarp. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated the safety of ZS fruit (ZSF) and pericarp (ZSP) extracts and compared their bioactivity. To evaluate the safety of ZSF and ZSP, mutagenicity, cytotoxicity, and oxidative stress assays were performed and nontoxic concentration ranges were obtained. ZSP was found to be superior to ZSF in terms of its antimutagenic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. In the S9 mix, the mutation inhibition rate of ZSP was close to 100% at concentrations exceeding 625 µg·plate−1 for both the TA98 and TA100 strains. ZSP exhibited efficient DPPH (IC50 = 75.6 ± 6.1 µg·mL−1) and ABTS (IC50 = 57.4 ± 6 µg·mL−1) scavenging activities. ZSP inhibited the release of cytokines, involved in IL-1β (IC50 = 134.4 ± 7.8), IL-6 (IC50 = 262.8 ± 11.2), and TNF-α (IC50 = 223.8 ± 5.8). These results indicate that ZSP contains a higher amount of biochemicals than ZSF, or that ZSP contains unique biochemicals. In conclusion, for certain physiological activities, the use of ZSP alone may be more beneficial than the combined use of ZSF and ZSP.

Abstract
The health benefits and toxicity of plant products are largely dependent on their secondary metabolite contents. These compounds are biosynthesized by plants as protection mechanisms against environmental factors and infectious agents. This review discusses the traditional uses, phytochemical constituents and health benefits of plant species in genus Zanthoxylum with a focus on cancer, microbial and parasitic infections, and sickle cell disease as reported in articles published from 1970 to 2021 in peer-reviewed journals and indexed in major scientific databases. Generally, Z. species are widely distributed in Asia, America and Africa, where they are used as food and for disease treatment. Several compounds belonging to alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and lignans, among others have been isolated from Z. species. This review discusses the biological activities reported for the plant species and their phytochemicals, including anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-trypanosomal, antimalarial and anti-sickling properties. The safety profiles and suggestions for conservation of the Z. species were also discussed. Taken together, this review demonstrates that Z. species are rich in a wide range of bioactive phytochemicals with multiple health benefits, but more research is needed towards their practical application in the development of functional foods, nutraceuticals and lead compounds for new drugs.

Novel chalcone-conjugated, multi-flexible end-group coumarin thiazole hybrids as potential antibacterial repressors against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Eur J Med Chem 2021; 222:113628.

Abstract
The increasing resistance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to antibiotics has led to a growing effort to design and synthesize novel structural candidates of chalcone-conjugated, multi-flexible end-group coumarin thiazole hybrids with outstanding bacteriostatic potential. Bioactivity screening showed that hybrid 5i, which was modified with methoxybenzene, exerted a significant inhibitory activity against MRSA (MIC = 0.004 mM), which was 6 times better than the anti-MRSA activity of the reference drug norfloxacin (MIC = 0.025 mM). Compound 5i neither conferred apparent resistance onto MRSA strains even after multiple passages nor triggered evident toxicity to human hepatocyte LO2 cells and normal mammalian cells (RAW 264.7). Molecular docking showed that highly active molecule 5i might bind to DNA gyrase by forming stable hydrogen bonds. In addition, molecular electrostatic potential surfaces were developed to explain the high antibacterial activity of the target compounds. Furthermore, preliminary mechanism studies suggested that hybrid 5i could disrupt the bacterial membrane of MRSA and insert itself into MRSA DNA to impede its replication, thus possibly becoming a potential antibacterial repressor against MRSA.

Abstract
Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) can be divided into yellow and purple varieties. However, information about coloration and fruit quality between the two varieties is limited. To reveal the underlying mechanism of color formation in this fruit, a combined analysis of the metabolome and transcriptome was conducted in this study. The results showed that most of the evaluated flavonols, anthocyanins, and flavanols were significantly upregulated in purple fruit compared to their levels in yellow fruit. Flavonoid and flavonoid carbonoside accumulation was markedly higher in yellow fruit than in purple fruit. The accumulation of organic acids, phenolic acids, lipids, sugars, and lignans was significantly different in the yellow and purple varieties. These results were consistent with the results from the RNA-Seq profile. This study will enable us to identify genes for targeted genetic engineering to improve the nutritional and market value of passion fruit. In addition, the peel and pulp of passion fruit contained certain health-promoting compounds, highlighting the potential application of passion fruit as a functional food and providing direction for future breeding programs and production.

Abstract
Three new carbazole alkaloids, zanthoaustrones A-C (1-3), as well as nine known compounds 4-12, were isolated and characterized from the roots of Zanthoxylum austrosinense Huang (Rutaceae). Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive and comprehensive spectroscopic methods, while the known alkaloids were identified by the comparison of their observed spectroscopic data including NMR data, MS data and optical rotation values with the data described in the literature. Furthermore, the antiproliferative activities as well as the anti-inflammatory effects of all isolated alkaloids in vitro were evaluated. All obtained alkaloids 1-12 displayed notable antiproliferative activities against diverse human cancer cell lines exhibiting IC50 values in range of 0.85 ± 0.06 to 29.56 ± 0.17 µM, which is equivalent to the positive control (cisplatin) showing IC50 values ranging from 1.58 ± 0.09 to 28.69 ± 0.21 µM. Moreover, compounds 1-12 exhibited pronounced inhibitory activities on nitric oxide (NO) production with IC50 values displaying IC50 values in range of 0.89 ± 0.05 to 9.62 ± 0.15 µM, which is comparable to the positive control (hydrocortisone) holding an IC50 value of 4.06 ± 0.11 µM. These findings indicate that the separation and characterization of these alkaloids displaying significant antiproliferative activities together with anti-inflammatory effects from the roots of Z. austrosinense could be meaningful to the research and development of new anti-cancer drugs as well as anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
A dibenzylbutane-type lignan (16), along with eight furofuran-type (1–8), five furan-type (9–13), two dibenzylbutane-type (14 and 15), two bibenztetrahydronaphthalene-type lignans (17 and 18), two neolignans (19 and 20), and six phenolic derivatives (21–26) were isolated from an MeOH extract of the stem bark of Albizia julibrissin Durazz. The chemical structures of the obtained compounds were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) analyses. Of the evaluated compounds, 14 were isolated from A. julibrissin and the Fabaceae family for the first time. Anti-inflammatory effects of the isolated analogs were investigated in terms of the inhibition of the nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Ten compounds (10–12, 14, and 17–22) displayed significant dose-dependent inhibitory effects against the NO production, with IC50 values ranging from 5.4 to 19.2 µM. Moreover, eight compounds (1–4, 9, 13, 15, and 16) exhibited moderate inhibitory activities, with IC50 values ranging from 21.0 to 62.5 µM.

Abstract
Periodontitis pathogenesis involves activation of host immune responses triggered by microbial dysbiosis. Therefore, controlling periodontal pathogens in-vivo is a main goal of periodontal therapy. New antimicrobials might help to control periodontal infection and improve treatment outcomes at "the dark times" of increasing antibiotic resistance. Here, we determined the biological activity of collinin and isocollinin against 8 bacterial strains. Antimicrobial activity of collinin and isocollinin, chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) was evaluated against clinically relevant periodontal bacteria, like Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, Dialister pneumosintes strains and superinfectants like Escherichia coli, Staphylococcusaureus, and Pseudomonasaeruginosa strains. A broth microdilution test was carried out to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of collinin and isocollinin against those strains, and bacterial viability was determined by resazurin assay at diverse concentration and exposure times. P. gingivalis was the most susceptible strain to collinin and isocollinin (MIC 2.1 μg/mL and 4.2 μg/mL respectively). Other periodontal pathogens showed MICs <17 μg/mL for collinin and MICs between 20 and 42 μg/mL for isocollinin, whereas CHX and NaClO showed MICs of 62 and 326 μg/mL, respectively. Collinin and isocollinin also exhibited antimicrobial activity against superinfectant bacteria (MIC < 21 and < 42 μg/mL, respectively). Overall, collinin and isocollinin showed a remarkable antibacterial activity against relevant periodontal and superinfective bacteria, especially against P. gingivalis (MIC 2.1 μg/mL and 4.2 μg/mL respectively) and the highly virulent P. aeruginosa (MIC 5.2 and 20.8 μg/mL, respectively).

Abstract
Zanthoxylum bungeanum (Rutaceae), a popular food flavoring and traditional Chinese medicine ingredient, is an important cash crop. Its leaves are rich in flavonoids with multiple bioactivities. However, the transcriptional sequencing has not been investigated, and the molecular basis for the flavonoid biosynthesis remains unclear in this plant. This paper, the key flavonoids (epicatechin, rutin, hyperoside, trifolin, quercitrin, and afzelin) contents were determined in the leaves of 10 Z. bungeanum varieties from a common garden. Results show the leaves of Z. bungeanum mainly contained hyperoside (11.410-21.721 mg/g) and quercitrin (9.401-18.016 mg/g). The total content of these key components was the highest in Fengxian Dahongpao (66.012 mg/g) and the lowest in Fugu (32.223 mg/g). Three varieties (Hancheng stingless, Fugu, and Fengxian Dahongpao) with significant differences in the total content of key flavonoids were selected for transcriptome analysis to obtain flavonoid biosynthesis-related genes. In total, 83 522 unigenes were obtained, 40 668 (48.69%) unigenes were annotated, and 6656 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Comparison of the other two varieties, Fugu had many differentially expressed genes indicating the particularity of its variety. Flavonoid-related DEGs of 22 structural genes, including three PALs, one CYP73A, three 4CLs, six CHSs, one CHI, one F3H, one DFR, two ANSs, one ANR, one FLS, and two CYP75B1s, as well as nine MYBs were obtained. These structural genes had different expression patterns in different Z. bungeanum varieties. It is worth noting that the genes expressing the flavonoid 3'5' hydroxylase are absent in Z. bungeanum. Furthermore, quantitative real-time PCR experiment showed consistent results in transcriptome analysis. The RNA-Seq data set of this study sheds lights on the molecular mechanism of flavonoid biosynthesis in Z. bungeanum, provides valuable information for the metabolic regulation of flavonoids, and may serve as a guide for future breeding programs.

Abstract
A bioassay-guided chemical investigation on the ethyl acetate extract of the stems of Herpetospermum pedunculosum led to the isolation and identification of 22 lignans including 6 previously undescribed ones, herpetosiols A-F. Their structures including stereochemistries were elucidated by analysis of NMR, HRMS and ECD data. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of all isolates were studied against human gastric carcinoma SGC7901, lung carcinoma A549, breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 and hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell lines. Among them, eight lignans exhibited anti-proliferative effects against four tumor cell lines with IC50 ranging from 1.7 ± 0.1 to 32.6 ± 1.1 μM. Hedyotol-B displayed potent inhibitory effect with IC50 values of 1.7 ± 0.1 μM against SGC7901 and 6.1 ± 0.5 μM against A549, respectively.

Abstract
Natural coumarins and their derivatives isolated from various plants or microorganisms have inherent antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer properties among many biological activities. Some of these coumarins and their derivatives lead to self-programmed cancer cell death (apoptosis) via different mechanisms, which will be discussed. The link between bacterial and viral infections to cancer compels us to highlight fascinating reports from coumarin isolation from microorganisms; comment on the recent bioavailability studies of natural or derived coumarins; and discuss our perspectives with respect to bioisosterism in coumarins, p-glycoprotein inhibition and covalent modification, and bioprobes. Overall, this review hopes to stimulate and offer in particular medicinal chemists and the reader in general an outlook on natural coumarins and their derivatives with potential for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Dietary guidelines universally advise adherence to plant-based diets. Plant-based foods confer considerable health benefits, partly attributable to their abundant micronutrient (e.g., polyphenol) content. Interest in polyphenols is largely focused on the contribution of their antioxidant activity to the prevention of various disorders, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Polyphenols are classified into groups, such as stilbenes, flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans and others. Lignans, which possess a steroid-like chemical structure and are defined as phytoestrogens, are of particular interest to researchers. Traditionally, health benefits attributed to lignans have included a lowered risk of heart disease, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis and breast cancer. However, the intake of naturally lignan-rich foods varies with the type of diet. Consequently, based on the latest humans' findings and gathered information on lignan-rich foods collected from Phenol Explorer database this review focuses on the potential health benefits attributable to the consumption of different diets containing naturally lignan-rich foods. Current evidence highlight the bioactive properties of lignans as human health-promoting molecules. Thus, dietary intake of lignan-rich foods could be a useful way to bolster the prevention of chronic illness, such as certain types of cancers and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Coumarin as a lead structure have received a considerable attention in the last three decades for the discovery of antiviral agents. Our previous study indicated that imidazole coumarins possessed antiviral activities against SVCV. Based on the structure-activity relationship in that study, a new imidazole coumarin derivative, 7-(4-benzimidazole-butoxy)-coumarin (BBC), was designed, synthesized and its anti-SVCV activity was evaluated. By comparing inhibitory concentration at half-maximal activity (IC50), we found that BBC (IC50 = 0.56 mg/L) possessed a higher antiviral activity than those imidazole coumarins in our previous study. Besides, BBC can significantly inhibit cell death and reduce cellular morphological damage induced by SVCV. Our further data indicated that intraperitoneal injection of BBC increased the survival rate of zebrafish by 17.5%, decreased viral titer in fish body and inhibited SVCV glycoprotein expression in kidney and spleen. In uninfected zebrafish, the expression levels of ifnγ, ifnφ1, ifnφ2 and rig1 genes were up-regulated after BBC treatment, which indicated that BBC could activate interferon response. In addition, data of the antioxidant enzymes activities and results of the antioxidant enzymes-related genes expressions suggested BBC could reduce SVCV-induced oxidative damage in infected zebrafish. Altogether, BBC is expected to be a therapeutic agent against SVCV infection in the field of aquaculture.

Abstract
Several modern treatment strategies have been adopted to combat cancer with the aim of minimizing toxicity. Medicinal plant-based compounds with the potential to treat cancer have been widely studied in preclinical research and have elicited many innovations in cutting-edge clinical research. In parallel, researchers have eagerly tried to decrease the toxicity of current chemotherapeutic agents either by combining them with herbals or in using herbals alone. The aim of this article is to present an update of medicinal plants and their bioactive compounds, or mere changes in the bioactive compounds, along with herbal edibles, which display efficacy against diverse cancer cells and in anticancer therapy. It describes the basic mechanism(s) of action of phytochemicals used either alone or in combination therapy with other phytochemicals or herbal edibles. This review also highlights the remarkable synergistic effects that arise between certain herbals and chemotherapeutic agents used in oncology. The anticancer phytochemicals used in clinical research are also described; furthermore, we discuss our own experience related to semisynthetic derivatives, which are developed based on phytochemicals. Overall, this compilation is intended to facilitate research and development projects on phytopharmaceuticals for successful anticancer drug discovery.

Abstract
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Polymorphic microsatellite markers of Zanthoxylum schinifolium (Rutaceae), a promising medicinal plant with effective antibacterial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory compounds, were developed and evaluated for further genetic studies based on genetic variation among individuals or populations. METHODS AND RESULTS Following the selective hybridization method, microsatellite-enrichment libraries were constructed. Using these libraries, we obtained 15 polymorphic and three monomorphic microsatellite markers for Z. schinifolium. The number of alleles observed in each of the 15 polymorphic loci ranged from two to eight, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.070 to 0.677 and from 0.093 to 0.688, respectively. Eleven of these developed markers were successfully amplified for Z. piperitum, a related species. CONCLUSIONS These microsatellite markers can be valuable tools for further genetic studies of Z. schinifolium, such as genetic resource conservation for maintaining breeding material and individual identification for breeding program improvement and variety management.

Abstract
Background Bladder cancer is a major widespread tumor of the genitourinary tract. Around 30% of patients with superficial cancers develop invasive and metastatic pathology. Material/Methods Some new heterocyclic 4-methyl coumarin derivatives were designed using molecular modeling studies to evaluate their potential against bladder cancer lines T24 and RT-4. The designed compounds that showed good binding affinity to T24 and RT4 were synthesized, with excellent yield. The synthesized compounds after structural evaluation were further evaluated for their antiproliferative activity by cell viability assay, cell cycle analysis, and apoptosis assay. Results The compound BC-14 exhibited the best cytotoxicity against T24 cells, but were not highly active against RT4 cells. Conclusions The results of the present study may suggest the selectivity pattern of the synthesized compounds. These results should be explored further with chemical modification for other cancer types.

Abstract
Zanthoxylum rhetsa is an aromatic tree, known vernacularly as “Indian Prickly Ash”. It has been predominantly used by Indian tribes for the treatment of many infirmities like diabetes, inflammation, rheumatism, toothache and diarrhea. In this study, we identified major volatile constituents present in different solvent fractions of Z. rhetsa bark using GC-MS analysis and isolated two tetrahydrofuran lignans (yangambin and kobusin), a berberine alkaloid (columbamine) and a triterpenoid (lupeol) from the bioactive chloroform fraction. The solvent fractions and purified compounds were tested for their cytotoxic potential against human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) and mouse melanoma (B16-F10) cells, using the MTT assay. All the solvent fractions and purified compounds were found to be non-cytotoxic to HDF cells. However, the chloroform fraction and kobusin exhibited cytotoxic effect against B16-F10 melanoma cells. The presence of bioactive lignans and alkaloids were suggested to be responsible for the cytotoxic property of Z. rhetsa bark against B16-F10 cells.

Abstract
Two coumarins, umbelliferone and daphnoretin, were isolated from roots of Stellera chamaejasme L; the former had been identified as one of the main allelochemicals in our previous studies. Both of them have the skeleton of 7-hydroxycoumarin, but showed different phytotoxic effects. Umbelliferone and its analogs were then prepared to investigate the structure-activity relationship of hydroxycoumarins and screened for phytotoxicity. The inhibitory effects varied observably in response to the coumarin derivatives, especially umbelliferone (1), 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (3) and coumarin (10) displayed strong inhibition of lettuce and two field weeds, Setaria viridis and Amaranthus retroflexus, and compounds 11 and 12 also exhibited phytotoxic activity with species specificity. The number and location of hydroxyl groups were importantly responsible for the phytotoxicity. A C7 hydroxyl group was considered to be a potentially active site and methyl substitution at the C4 position contributed significantly to the activity. The phytotoxic mechanism was briefly studied with umbelliferone by evaluating the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chlorophylls level in lettuce seedlings. The results showed that umbelliferone induced the accumulation of ROS in the root tip and significantly decreased the chlorophyll content in the leaves. Thus, a ROS-mediated regulation pathway and the inhibition of photosynthesis were definitely involved in the phytotoxicity of umbelliferone.

Abstract
CONTEXT Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and novel chemotherapeutic agents with better efficacy and safety profiles are much needed. Coumarins are natural polyphenolic compounds with important pharmacological activities, which are present in many dietary plants and herbal remedies. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to investigate natural and synthetic coumarin derivatives with considerable anticancer capacity against three human cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS We synthesized 27 coumarin derivatives (mostly having 4-methyl moiety) and examined their cytotoxic effect on three human cancer cell lines, K562 (chronic myelogenous leukemia), LS180 (colon adenocarcinoma), and MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) by MTT reduction assay. Screened compounds included 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarins (7-HMCs), 7-acetoxy-4-methylcoumarins (7-AMCs), and different dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (DHMC) and diacetoxy-4-methylcoumarin (DAMC) derivatives. Some compounds with methoxy, amine, and bromine substitutions were also examined. RESULTS 7,8-DHMCs bearing alkyl groups at C3 position were the most effective subgroup, and of which, the most potent is compound 11, with an n-decyl chain at C3, which had IC50 values of 42.4, 25.2, and 25.1 µM against K562, LS180, and MCF-7 cells, respectively. The second most active subgroup was 7,8-DAMCs containing ethoxycarbonylmethyl and ethoxycarbonylethyl moieties at C3 position. Compound 27 (6-bromo-4-bromomethyl-7-hydroxycoumarin), the only derivative containing bromine also showed reasonable cytotoxic activities (IC50 range: 32.7-45.8 µM). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of 4-methylcoumarins shows that further investigation of these derivatives may lead to the discovery of novel anticancer agents.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to investigate the influences of sweet grass on chronic ethanol-induced oxidative stress in the rat brain. Chronic ethanol intoxication decreased activities and antioxidant levels resulting in enhanced lipid peroxidation. Administration of sweet grass solution to ethanol-intoxicated rats partially normalized the activity activities of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase, as well as levels of reduced glutathione and vitamins C, E, and A. Sweet grass also protected unsaturated fatty acids (arachidonic and docosahexaenoic) from oxidations and decreased levels of lipid peroxidation products: 4-hydroxynonenal, isoprostanes, and neuroprostanes. The present in vivo study confirms previous in vitro data demonstrating the bioactivity of sweet grass and suggests a possible role for sweet grass in human health protection from deleterious consequences associated with oxidative stress formation.

Abstract
Schinifoline (SF), a 4-quinolinone derivative, was found in Zanthoxylum schinifolium for the first time. 4-Quinolinone moieties are thought to have cytotoxic activity and are often used as a tubulin polymerization inhibitors, heterogeneous enzyme inhibitors and antiplatelet agents. However, very little information respect to radiosensitization has focused on SF. This work aimed to investigate the radiosensitizing effect of SF on A549 cells. The cell viability results indicated cytotoxicity of SF on A549 cells, with IC50 values of 33.7 ± 2.4, 21.9 ± 1.9 and 16.8 ± 2.2 μg/mL, respectively, after 6, 12, 24 h treatment with different concentrations, and the 10% or 20% IC50 concentration during 12 h was applied in later experiments. The results of cell proliferative inhibition and clonogenic assay showed that SF enhanced the radiosensitivity of A549 cells when applied before 60Co γ-irradiation and this effect was mainly time and concentration dependent. The flow cytometric data indicated that SF treatment before the irradiation increased the G2/M phase, thus improving the radiosensitivity of A549, leading to cell apoptosis. This paper is the first study that describes the in vitro radiosensitising, cell cycle and apoptotic-inducing effects of schinifoline.
