[PMID: 35408562 PMCID: PMC9000864 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27072161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Four new pentacyclic triterpenoids named Sabiadiscolor A–D (1 and 7–9) together with eleven known ones were isolated by repeated column chromatography. Their structures were identified and characterized by NMR and MS spectral data as 6 oleanane-type pentacyclic triterpenoids (1–6), 7 ursane-type ones (7–13), and 2 lupanane-type ones (14–15). Except for compound 15, all other compounds were isolated from Sabia discolor Dunn for the first time. Their α-glycosidase inhibitory activities were evaluated, which showed that compounds 1, 3, 8, 9, 13, and 15 implied remarkable activities with IC50 values ranging from 0.09 to 0.27 μM, and the preliminary structure–activity relationship was discussed.

Abstract
Morinda citrifolia L. is a plant of the family Rubiaceae and is known as Indian mulberry or Noni in India. It is a perennial herb native to Southeast Asia and has been used over the years as a food supplement and medicinal plant. Noni fruits are reported to possess anticancer, fungicidal, antiviral and antiarthritic effects. The objective of our study is the screening of the immunomodulatory activity of the total extract, fractions, and isolated compounds of Noni fruits to identify their bioactive compounds. To achieve our goal, an ethanol extract (EE) was prepared from Noni fruits. Fractionation and purification of the EE were accomplished. The cell-mediated immune (CMI) response in prednisolone-induced immunosuppression rats was evaluated. The toxicity of the EE, fractions and isolated compounds on the differentiated THP-1 macrophage was assessed using the MTT viability assay. Moreover, the inflammation-related immune responses in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced THP-1 macrophage activation were evaluated. Fractionation of the EE gave three fractions, dichloromethane (DCMF), water (WF) and methanol (MF). Purification of DCMF yielded stigmast-7-ene-3-ol (M1), 28-hydroxy-3β-acetoxy-9-dehydrogramisterol (M2), 3β-acetoxy-taraxast-20(30)-ene-21-ol (M3), 22-dehydroclerosterol (M4) and 22-dehydroclerosterol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (M5), while purification of MF yielded quercetin (M6), hesperidin (M7), naringin (M9) and gallic acid (M8). The results revealed that DCMF elicited an increase in paw edema to the extent of 35.8%. All the tested samples had no cytotoxic effect on THP-1 macrophages. Co-treatment of the LPS-induced macrophages with DCMF, M2, M3, and M6 decreased the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6/IL-10. The expression of iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB decreased to 0.14 ± 0.02, 0.15 ± 0.02, and 0.17 ± 0.03, respectively, after co-treatment with LPS and DCMF. M2 attenuated the expression of iNOS and NF-κB to 0.18 ± 0.03 and 0.17 ± 0.03, respectively. Additionally, M3 attenuated the expression of iNOS to 0.18 ± 0.03, and after co-treatment with M6 and LPS, the expression of COX-2 and NF-κB was down-regulated to 0.2 ± 0.03. Our study proves the immunomodulatory effect of Noni fruits and specifies for the first time the compounds responsible for their activity.

Abstract
Cirsium setosum (C. setosum) has a potential antihyperglycemic effect, but it is unclear what bioactive components play a key role. According to the α-glucosidase inhibition activity, three new taraxastane-type triterpenoids of 3β-hydroxy-30-hydroperoxy-20-taraxastene (1), 3β-hydroxy-22α-methoxy-20-taraxastene (2), and 30-nor-3β,22α-dihydroxy-20-taraxastene (3), as well as five known taraxastane triterpenoids of 3β,22-dihydroxy-20-taraxastene (4), 20-taraxastene-3,22-dione (5), 3β-acetoxy-20-taraxasten-22-one (6), 3β-hydroxy-20-taraxasten-22-one (7), and 30-nor-3β-hydroxy-20-taraxastene (8) were obtained from the petroleum ether-soluble portion of the ethanol extract from C. setosum. All chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and compared with literature data. Compounds 4-8 were identified for the first time from this plant, and compounds 1, 2, 4, and 7 exhibited more potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity-with IC50 values of 18.34 ± 1.27, 26.98 ± 0.89, 17.49 ± 1.42, and 22.67 ± 0.25 μM, respectively-than acarbose did (positive control, IC50 42.52 ± 0.32 μM).

Abstract
Phytochemical research of two Tolpis species, T. proustii and T. lagopoda, led to the isolation of three new compounds: 30-chloro-3β-acetoxy-22α-hydroxyl-20(21)-taraxastene (1), 3β,22α-diacetoxy-30-ethoxy-20(21)-taraxastene (2) and 3β,28-dihydroxy-11α-hydroperoxy-12-ursene (3). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by means of extensive IR, NMR, and MS data and by comparison of data reported in the literature. The in vitro antioxidant activities of the extracts were assessed by the DPPH and ABTS scavenging methods. The cytotoxicity of several known compounds and its derivatives was also assessed against human myeloid leukemia K-562 and K-562/ADR cell lines.

Abstract
Combined with medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (perp-HPLC), high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) was applied for separation and purification of flavone C-glycosides from the crude extract of leaves of Ficus microcarpae L. f. HSCCC separation was performed on a two-phase solvent system composed of methyl tert- butyl ether - ethyl acetate - 1-butanol - acetonitrile - 0.1% aqueous trifluoroacetic acid at a volume ratio of 1:3:1:1:5. Partially resolved peak fractions from HSCCC separation were further purified by preparative HPLC. Four well-separated compounds were obtained and their purities were determined by HPLC. The purities of these peaks were 97.28%, 97.20%, 92.23%, and 98.40%.. These peaks were characterized by ESI-MS(n). According to the reference, they were identified as orientin (peak I), isovitexin-3″-O-glucopyranoside (peak II), isovitexin (peak III), and vitexin (peak IV), yielded 1.2 mg, 4.5 mg, 3.3 mg, and 1.8 mg, respectively.

Abstract
This review explores medieval, ancient and modern sources for ethnopharmacological uses of Ficus (fig) species, specifically for employment against malignant disease and inflammation. The close connection between inflammatory/infectious and cancerous diseases is apparent both from the medieval/ancient merging of these concepts and the modern pharmacological recognition of the initiating and promoting importance of inflammation for cancer growth. Also considered are chemical groups and compounds underlying the anticancer and anti-inflammatory actions, the relationship of fig wasps and fig botany, extraction and storage of fig latex, and traditional methods of preparing fig medicaments including fig lye, fig wine and medicinal poultices.

Abstract
Investigation on the EtOH extract of the fruits of Chaenomeles speciosa led to the isolation of a new triterpene acid bearing an unusual hydroperoxyl substitute group at C-11, speciosaperoxide (1), along with six known triterpenoids, 3beta-acetoxyurs-11-en-13beta,28-olide (2), 3-O-acetyl ursolic acid (3), oleanolic acid (4), ursolic acid (5), masilinic acid (6), and tormentic acid (7), and three known norsesquiterpenoids, roseoside (8), vomifoliol (9) and (6S,7E,9R)-6,9-dihydroxy-4,7-megastigmadien-3-one 9-O-[beta-d-xylopyranosyl (1 --> 6)-glucopyranoside] (10). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data and comparison with reference data. Besides compound 1, compounds 2, 8-10 were obtained from this genus for the first time. None of these compounds exhibited inhibitory activity against T-and B-lymphocyte proliferation.
