Abstract
Eleven undescribed tetracyclic triterpenoids, meliazedarachins A-K, along with twenty-six known compounds were isolated from the fruits of Melia azedarach L.. Their structures were determined by HRESIMS, UV, IR, NMR, X-ray diffraction, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, and the modified Mosher's method. The cytotoxic activities of all the isolates were measured. Meliazedarachin K and mesendanin N showed cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 9.02 to 31.31 μM. Meliazedarachin K showed significant cytotoxicity against HCT116 cell line with IC50 value of 9.02 ± 0.84 μM. 21α-methylmelianodiol showed significant cytotoxicity against HCT116 and RKO cell lines with IC50 values of 10.16 ± 1.22 and 8.57 ± 0.80 μM, respectively.

Pharmacological Potential of Lathyrane-Type Diterpenoids from Phytochemical Sources. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15070780. [PMID: 35890079 PMCID: PMC9318715 DOI: 10.3390/ph15070780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Lathyrane diterpenoids are one of the primary types of secondary metabolites present in the genus Euphorbia and one of the largest groups of diterpenes. They are characterized by having a highly oxygenated tricyclic system of 5, 11 and 3 members. These natural products and some synthetic derivatives have shown numerous interesting biological activities with clinical potential against various diseases, such as cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines, multi-drug resistance reversal, antiviral properties, anti-inflammatory activity and their capability to induce proliferation or differentiation into neurons of neural progenitor cells. The structure of the lathyrane skeleton could be considered privileged because its framework is able to direct functional groups in a well-defined space. The favorable arrangement of these makes interaction possible with more than one target. This review aims to highlight the evidence of lathyranes as privileged structures in medicinal chemistry. Chemical structures of bioactive compounds, the evaluation of biological properties of natural and semisynthetic derivatives, and the exploration of the mechanisms of action as well as target identification and some aspects of their targeted delivery are discussed.

Abstract
Covering: July 2010 to December 2021Limonoids, a kind of natural tetranortriterpenoids with diverse skeletons and valuable insecticidal and medicinal bioactivities, are the characteristic metabolites of most plants of the Meliaceae family. The chemistry and bioactivities of meliaceous limonoids are a continuing hot area of natural products research; to date, about 2700 meliaceous limonoids have been identified. In particular, more than 1600, including thirty kinds of novel rearranged skeletons, have been isolated and identified in the past decade due to their wide distribution and abundant content in Meliaceae plants and active biosynthetic pathways. In addition to the discovery of new structures, many positive medicinal bioactivities of meliaceous limonoids have been investigated, and extensive achievements regarding the chemical and biological synthesis have been made. This review summarizes the recent research progress in the discovery of new structures, medicinal and agricultural bioactivities, and chem/biosynthesis of limonoids from the plants of the Meliaceae family during the past decade, with an emphasis on the discovery of limonoids with novel skeletons, the medicinal bioactivities and mechanisms, and chemical synthesis. The structures, origins, and bioactivities of other new limonoids were provided as ESI. Studies published from July 2010 to December 2021 are reviewed, and 482 references are cited.

Abstract
Medicinal plants of the genus Walsura (family Meliaceae) are native to tropical zones of a number of Asian countries, and have been used in systems of folk medicine. Several original research articles on Walsura species are available, but an overview highlighting the phytochemical and biological aspects of the compounds isolated to date is so far absent. Since the 1970s, phytochemical investigations on the genus Walsura have been undertaken, and more than 220 compounds from ten species have been identified. Natural products from Walsura species that have received the most attention are limonoids (114 compounds) and triterpenoids (72 compounds). Walsura limonoids have been characterized structurally as having diverse skeletons and more than 100 such compounds are new to the literature, while dammaranes, tirucallanes, and apotirucallanes are the main triterpenoid types from this genus. Other Walsura constituents comprise sesquiterpenoids, flavonoids, sterols, lignans, xanthones, and anthraquinones. Walsura species constituents have also been studied in natural product drug discovery screening programs. Many in vitro biological and some in vivo pharmacological investigations have been carried out on Walsura species isolated compounds. Walsura components display properties such as cancer cell cytotoxicity, antimicrobial, antidiabetes, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifeedant, antifertility, ichthyotoxic, and neuroprotection activities.

Abstract
Three new limonoids, walsurauias A-C (1-3), along with four known ones, were isolated from the leaves and twigs of Walsura yunnanensis C. Y. Wu. Their structures were determined on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. The new limonoids were screened for their cytotoxic activity (IC50 0.81-5.73 μM) against four human cancer cell lines, including A549, HepG2, HCT116 p21KO and CNE-2. And α,β-unsaturated ketone moieties in rings A and B are essential for their cytotoxic activity. Selected compounds were further investigated. Compounds 1-3 effectively induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in cancer cells. In addition, compounds 1-3 inhibited the colony formation and compounds 2 and 3 suppressed the migration of cancer cells.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of Walsura trichostemon leaves led to the isolation of a new apotirucallane-type triterpenoid, 11,25-dideacetyl-16-hydroxytrichostemonate (1), along with two known apotirucallane-type triterpenoids (2 and 3), two known tirucallane-type triterpenes (4 and 5), and two known steroids (6 and 7). Their structures were identified by intensive analysis of 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, and mass spectrometry data, which were compared with data reported in the literature. Compounds 2, 3, and 5 exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value: 64 μg/mL), and compound 4 showed weak antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa (MIC: 128 μg/mL). Furthermore, compound 5 displayed activity against Bacillus cereus (MIC: 64 μg/mL). In addition, compound 4 showed stronger α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the control, acarbose. The active compound 4 was subjected to molecular docking experiments using AutoDock4 and revealed precise interactions with the active gorge of the enzyme through hydrogen bonding, supporting the in vitro results.

Abstract
Nortriterpenoids isolated from Walsura cochinchinensis have attracted much attention from both synthetic and medicinal chemists, yet only recently have efficient synthetic approaches to any members appeared. Shown here is that the common intermediate with a 6/6/5/6-fused tetracyclic ring nucleus can be converted to walsucochin family members. The first total syntheses of (±)-walsucochin A, (±)-walsucochinoids C-F, and their analogues were achieved in this work.

Abstract
Screening active natural products, rapid identification, and accurate isolation are of great important for modern natural lead compounds discovery1. We hereby reported the isolation of seven new neotecleanin-type limonoids (1-7), seven new limonoids with 5-oxatricyclo[5.4.0.11., 4.]hendecane ring system (8-14), and two new precursors (15-16) together with four known limonoids (17-20) from the root barks of Walsura robusta. Their structures, including their absolute configurations, were elucidated based on analyses of HR-ESI-MS, 1D/2D NMR, ECD spectrum calculations and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Compounds 2, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 18 showed significant anti-inflammatory activities in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cell line, BV2 microglial cells, and Propionibacterium acnes-stimulated THP-1 human monocytic cells. Walrobsin M (11) exhibited anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 value of 7.96±0.36 μmol/L, and down-regulated phosphorylation levels of ERK and p38 in a dose-dependent manner.

[PMID: 28129886 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2017.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2016] [Revised: 01/06/2017] [Accepted: 01/18/2017] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Four 18 (13 → 14)-abeo limonoids, five cedrelone limonoids, and five walsurin limonoids were isolated from the fruits of Walsura robusta together with 21 known compounds. Their structures were determined by extensive studies of their one- and two-dimensional NMR spectra and mass spectroscopy results. Among all the isolated compounds, the absolute configurations of 11-oxo-dihydrocedrelone, walsuronoid B, dysoxylumosin G, and walsunoid H were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Selected compounds were evaluated for their reversal of multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype in human breast cancer cells in vitro. Walsurin A showed significant effect in sensitization of these resistant cancer cells at non-toxic concentration to doxorubicin with the modulation factor of 62.76.

Abstract
Nine new cedrelone-type limonoid derivatives, walsunoids A-I (1-9), and 11 known compounds were isolated from the leaves of Walsura robusta. Walsunoid A (1) is a new degradation product of cedrelone-type limonoids, and walsunoid I (9) is a rare cedrelone-type limonoid amide. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and ECD data analyses. Five compounds showed moderate inhibitory activities against human and/or mouse 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) with IC50 values ranging from 0.69 to 9.9 μM.

Abstract
Fourteen new 3,4-seco-cycloartane-type triterpenes, lithocarpic acids A-N (1-14), together with one known compound, coccinetane E (15), were identified from the cupules of Lithocarpus polystachyus. The structures of 1-14 were determined by spectroscopic data analysis and chemical methods, and the absolute configurations of 1 and 4 were defined unequivocally by X-ray crystallography using Cu Kα radiation. Compounds 1-15 are the first examples of 3,4-seco-cycloartane derivatives isolated from the genus Lithocarpus. Among them, compounds 1 and 2, 9 and 10, and 11 and 12 were found to be three pairs of C-24 epimers, while compounds 7 and 8 represent the first examples of 3,4-seco-norcycloartane-type triterpenes. Compound 1, as the major component of the plant extract, showed potent antibacterial activity against Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus subtilis, with MIC values of 3.1 and 6.3 μg/mL, respectively, as well as inhibitory activity against human and mouse 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, with IC50 values of 1.9 and 0.24 μM, respectively.
