PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 225:114185. [PMID: 38876164 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Five undescribed leucosesterterpane sesterterpenoids, leucosceptrines A-E, two undescribed penta-nor-leucosesterterpane (C20) sesterterpenoids, nor-leucosceptrines A and B, and three known analogues, were obtained from the aerial parts of Leucosceptrum canum of Chinese origin. Leucosceptrines A-C are the first examples of leucosesterterpane-type sesterterpenoids with unclosed dihydropyran rings and reverse configurations at chiral centers C-4 and/or C-12. Nor-leucosceptrines A and B possesses an unusual penta-nor-leucosesterterpane skeleton. Their structures were unambiguously elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A plausible biogenetic pathway for these sesterterpenoids was proposed. The immunosuppressive effects of these isolates on the secretion of the cytokine IFN-γ by T cells stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 monoclonal antibodies were observed with different potencies.

Abstract
Two new sesterterpenoids, sesterchaetins A and B (1 and 2), and two new diepoxide polyketides, chaetoketoics A and B (3 and 4), were characterized from the culture extract of Chaetomium globosum SD-347, a fungal strain derived from deep sea-sediment. Their structures and absolute configurations were unambiguously determined by detailed NMR, mass spectra, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 contained a distinctive 5/8/6/5 tetracyclic carbon-ring-system, which represented a rarely occurring natural product framework. The new isolates 1-4 exhibited selective antimicrobial activities against human and aquatic pathogenic bacteria and plant-pathogenic fungi.

Abstract
Mining of two multiproduct sesterterpene synthases from Lentzea atacamensis resulted in the identification of the synthases for lentzeadiene (LaLDS) and atacamatriene (LaATS). The main product of LaLDS (lentzeadiene) is a new compound, while one of the side products (lentzeatetraene) is the enantiomer of brassitetraene B and the other side product (sestermobaraene F) is known from a surprisingly distantly related sesterterpene synthase. LaATS produces six new compounds, one of which is the enantiomer of the known sesterterpene Bm1. Notably, for both enzymes the products cannot all be explained from one and the same starting conformation of geranylfarnesyl diphosphate, demonstrating the requirement of conformational flexibility of the substrate in the enzymes' active sites. For lentzeadiene an intriguing thermal [1,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement was discovered, reminiscent of the biosynthesis of vitamin D3. All enzyme reactions and the [1,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement were investigated through isotopic labeling experiments and DFT calculations. The results also emphasize the importance of conformational changes during terpene cyclizations.

Abstract
Sesterterpenoids are a very rare class of important natural products. Three new skeletal spiro sesterterpenoids, named orientanoids A-C (1-3), were isolated from Hedyosmum orientale. Their structures were determined by a combination of spectroscopic data, X-ray crystallography, and total synthesis. To obtain adequate materials for biological research, the bioinspired total syntheses of 1-3 were effectively achieved in 7-8 steps in overall yields of 2.3-6.4% from the commercially available santonin without using any protecting groups. In addition, this work also revised the stereochemistry of hedyosumins B (6) and C (10) as 11R-configuration. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have emerged as important therapeutic targets in cancer therapy. The in-depth biological evaluation revealed that these sesterterpenoids antagonized the protumoral and immunosuppressive functional phenotype of macrophages in vitro. Among them, the most potent and major compound 1 inhibited protumoral M2-like macrophages and activated cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, and consequently inhibited tumor growth in vivo.

Revision of the Peniroquesine Biosynthetic Pathway by Retro-Biosynthetic Theoretical Analysis: Ring Strain Controls the Unique Carbocation Rearrangement Cascade. JACS AU 2023; 3:1596-1603.

Abstract
Peniroquesine, a sesterterpenoid featuring a unique 5/6/5/6/5 fused pentacyclic ring system, has been known for a long time, but its biosynthetic pathway/mechanism remains elusive. Based on isotopic labeling experiments, a plausible biosynthetic pathway to peniroquesines A-C and their derivatives was recently proposed, in which the characteristic peniroquesine-type 5/6/5/6/5 pentacyclic skeleton is synthesized from geranyl-farnesyl pyrophosphate (GFPP) via a complex concerted A/B/C-ring formation, repeated reverse-Wagner-Meerwein alkyl shifts, three successive secondary (2°) carbocation intermediates, and a highly distorted trans-fused bicyclo[4.2.1]nonane intermediate. However, our density functional theory calculations do not support this mechanism. By applying a retro-biosynthetic theoretical analysis strategy, we were able to find a preferred pathway for peniroquesine biosynthesis, involving a multistep carbocation cascade including triple skeletal rearrangements, trans-cis isomerization, and 1,3-H shift. This pathway/mechanism is in good agreement with all of the reported isotope-labeling results.

Abstract
Sarcotragusolides A-D (1-4), four new butenolide sesterterpenes featuring a rare methyl-transferred 6/6/6-tricyclic fused ring system with a butyrolactone moiety, and echinohalimane B (8), an unprecedented monocyclic diterpenoid featuring a 2,7-ring-opened halimane-type skeleton, were isolated from the sponge Sarcotragus sp. A γ-hydroxybutenolide sesterterpene derivative (5), a new scalarane sesterterpene (7), a new subersin-type diterpenoid (10), and two known terpenoids were also isolated and identified. The discovery of sarcotragusolides C and D (3 and 4) with an unprecedented inversion of configuration implied a distinct biosynthetic pathway. The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on their spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, chemical derivatization, and quantum chemical calculations. Compounds 1a, 1b, and 2 presented modest cytotoxic activities against several human cancer cell lines.

Abstract
A chemical investigation of a methanol extract of Spongia sp., a marine sponge collected from the Philippines, identified 12 unreported scalarane-type alkaloids-scalimides A-L (1-12)-together with two previously described scalarin derivatives. The elucidation of the structure of the scalaranes based on the interpretation of their NMR and HRMS data revealed that 1-12 featured a β-alanine-substituted E-ring but differed from each other through variations in their oxidation states and substitutions occurring at C16, C24, and C25. Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of 1-12 against several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria showed that 10 and 11 were active against Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus subtilis, respectively, with MIC values ranging from 4 to 16 μg/mL.

Abstract
Scalarane-type sesterterpenoids have received considerable attention in the scientific literature due to their diverse carbon skeletons and various biological activities and pharmacological properties. Among all these derivatives are commonly isolated from marine sponges and are occasionally derived from shell-less mollusks, such as nudibranchs. This review comprehensively discusses the marine-derived natural sources that give rise to these scalarane-type sesterterpenoids, providing the names, their chemical structures, biological properties, with emphasis on anticancer activity and literature references related to these metabolites. A critical summary of the 221 compounds generated from January 2010 up to December 2021 for their potential as anticancer agents is presented.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation on the acetone extract of Salvia mirzayanii Rech. f. and Esfand. afforded seven new isoprenoids including six new sesterterpenoids salvimirzacolide A-F (1–6), and one new nor-diterpenoid (7). Their structures were established by comprehensive spectroscopic and spectrometric data analysis (1D and 2D NMR, HRMS) and DP4+ NMR chemical shift probability calculation technique. Moreover, the absolute configuration of compounds was determined by using electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy. Evaluation of antiproliferative properties of compounds isolated against four human melanoma cancer cells displayed no cytotoxic activity at the concentration range used.

Abstract
The Pauson-Khand reaction (PKR) is a formal [2 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition involving an alkyne, an alkene and carbon monoxide mediated by a hexacarbonyldicobaltalkyne complex to yield cyclopentenones in a single step. This versatile reaction has become a method of choice for the synthesis of cyclopentenone and its derivatives since its discovery in the early seventies. The aim of this review is to point out the applications of PKR in the total synthesis of terpenes.

Abstract
Ten sesterterpenoids, including eight undescribed ones named spectanoids A-H and two known analogs, were obtained from Aspergillus spectabilis. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were determined based on HRESIMS, NMR, ECD calculations and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Spectanoids A-G are tricyclic sesterterpenoids with an unusual 5/12/5 ring system, while spectanoid H possesses a 5/8/6/5 ring system. All of these compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against three human cancer cells, and spectanoid A, spectanoid C and spectanoid F exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities with IC50 values ranging from 12.1 to 26.1 μM.

Abstract
The chemical examination of two undescribed marine actinobacteria has yielded three rare merosesterterpenoids, marinoterpins A-C (1-3, respectively). These compounds were isolated from the culture broth extracts of two marine-derived actinomycetes associated with the family Streptomycetaceae, (our strains were CNQ-253 and AJS-327). The structures of the new compounds were determined by extensive interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR, MS, and combined spectroscopic data. These compounds represent new chemical motifs, combining quinoline-N-oxides with a linear sesterterpenoid side chain. Additionally, consistent in all three metabolites is the rare occurrence of two five-ring ethers, which were derived from an apparent cyclization of methyl group carbons to adjacent hydroxy-bearing methylene groups in the sesterterpenoid side chain. Genome scanning of AJS-327 allowed for the identification of the marinoterpin (mrt) biosynthetic cluster, which consists of 16 open-reading frames that code for a sesterterpene pyrophosphate synthase, prenyltransferase, type II polyketide synthase, anthranilate:CoA-ligase, and several tailoring enzymes apparently responsible for installing the N-oxide and bis-tetrahydrofuran ring motifs.

Abstract
The first enantioselective total synthesis of cerorubenic acid-III is described in detail. Different strategies and attempts, based on a type II [5+2] cycloaddition reaction, leading to the bicyclo[4.4.1] ring system with a strained bridgehead double bond, are depicted. Furthermore, sodium naphthalenide was found to be efficient in the chemoselective reduction of 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octene, with three transformations completed in one operation. An unusual SN1 transannular cyclization reaction was applied to construct the synthetically challenging vinylcyclopropane moiety. This strategy enabled the total synthesis of cerorubenic acid-III in 19 steps.

Abstract
Terpenoids, formed by cyclization and/or permutation of isoprenes, are the most diverse and abundant class of natural products with a broad range of significant functions. One family of the critical enzymes involved in terpenoid biosynthesis is terpene cyclases (TCs), also known as terpene synthases (TSs), which are responsible for forming the ring structure as a backbone of functionally diverse terpenoids. With the recent advances in biotechnology, the researches on terpene cyclases have gradually shifted from the genomic mining of novel enzyme resources to the analysis of their structures and mechanisms. In this review, we summarize both the new methods for genomic mining and the structural mechanisms of some typical terpene cyclases, which are helpful for the discovery, engineering and application of more and new TCs.

Abstract
Whole plants of Gentianella turkestanorum are commonly used as a traditional Uighur medicine. A phytochemical investigation led to the isolation of eight undescribed gentianellane-type sesterterpenoids (18-epi-nitidasin, gentianelloids D-F, and 18-epi-gentianelloids C-F), one undescribed 11,12-seco-gentianellane (18-epi-alborosin), and three known analogs (nitidasin, gentianelloid C and alborosin) among which gentianelloid C was found for the first time from a natural source. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses (including 1D and 2D NMR, HRMS, IR, and specific rotation) and in the case of 18-epi-gentianelloid C by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. A putative biosynthetic route for these sesterterpenoids was proposed. The immunosuppressive activity of the isolated compounds was also evaluated by their ability to inhibit the proliferation of T cells and T cell cytokine IFN-γ production. Nitidasin suppressed IFN-γ production with an IC50 value of 16.50 μM, while gentianelloid F and alborosin inhibited the proliferation of and IFN-γ production in T cells with IC50 values of 12.40-14.66 μM.

Abstract
Covering: 1969 up to 2021Sesterterpenoids, biosynthetically derived from the precursor, namely geranylfarnesyl diphosphate (GFDP) are amongst the rarest of all isoprenoids with approximately 1300 compounds known. Most sesterterpenoids originate from marine organisms (especially sponges), while only about 15% of these compounds are isolated from several families of plants such as Lamiaceae, Gentianaceae, and Nartheciaceae. Many plant sesterterpenoids possess highly oxygenated and complex cyclic skeletons and exhibit remarkable biological activities involving cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifeedant properties. Thus, due to their intrinsic chemical complexity and intriguing biological profiles, plant sesterterpenoids have attracted continuing interest from both chemists and biologists. However, the biosynthesis and distribution of sesterterpenoids in the plant kingdom still remain elusive, although substantial progress has been achieved in recent years. This review provides an overall coverage of sesterterpenoids originating from plant sources, followed by a classification of their chemical skeletons, which summarizes the distribution, chemistry, biological activities, biosynthesis and evolution of plant sesterterpenoids, aiming at strengthening the research efforts toward the untapped great potential of these unique natural product resources.

Abstract
Covering: up to mid-2020 Terpenoids, also called isoprenoids, are the largest and most structurally diverse family of natural products. Found in all domains of life, there are over 80 000 known compounds. The majority of characterized terpenoids, which include some of the most well known, pharmaceutically relevant, and commercially valuable natural products, are produced by plants and fungi. Comparatively, terpenoids of bacterial origin are rare. This is counter-intuitive to the fact that recent microbial genomics revealed that almost all bacteria have the biosynthetic potential to create the C5 building blocks necessary for terpenoid biosynthesis. In this review, we catalogue terpenoids produced by bacteria. We collected 1062 natural products, consisting of both primary and secondary metabolites, and classified them into two major families and 55 distinct subfamilies. To highlight the structural and chemical space of bacterial terpenoids, we discuss their structures, biosynthesis, and biological activities. Although the bacterial terpenome is relatively small, it presents a fascinating dichotomy for future research. Similarities between bacterial and non-bacterial terpenoids and their biosynthetic pathways provides alternative model systems for detailed characterization while the abundance of novel skeletons, biosynthetic pathways, and bioactivies presents new opportunities for drug discovery, genome mining, and enzymology.

Abstract
Covering: July 2012 to December 2019Over the last seven years, expanding research efforts focused on sesterterpenoids has led to the isolation, identification, and characterization of numerous structurally novel and biologically active sesterterpenoids. These newly reported sesterterpenoids provide diverse structures that often incorporate unprecedented ring systems and new carbon skeletons, as well as unusual functional group arrays. Biological activities of potential biomedical importance including suppression of cancer cell growth, inhibition of enzymatic activity, and modulation of receptor signaling, as well as ecologically important functions such as antimicrobial effects and deterrence of herbivorous insects have been associated with a variety of sesterterpenoids. There has also been a rapid growth in our knowledge of the genomics, enzymology, and specific pathways associated with sesterterpene biosynthesis. This has opened up new opportunities for future sesterterpene discovery and diversification through the expression of new cryptic metabolites and the engineered manipulation of associated biosynthetic machinery and processes. In this paper we reviewed 498 new sesterterpenoids, including their structures, source organisms, country of origin, relevant bioactivities, and biosynthesis.

Abstract
The one-pot regioselective and diastereoselective method for the synthesis of 5-(het)aroyl-7-(het)arylhexahydrobenzo[4,5]pentaleno[1,6a-b](thia)pyrrolizine-6,12-diones from accessible 1,5-di(het)arylpent-4-ene-1,3-diones or curcuminoids in 38-98% yield was developed. This reaction proceeds as a sequence of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylide generated in situ from ninhydrin and (thia)proline at the C═C bond of corresponding enedione, followed by spontaneous intramolecular aldol condensation and leads to the formation of an azatetraquinane scaffold.

Abstract
Twelve new sesterterpenes along with eight known sesterterpenes were isolated from the marine sponge Hyrtios erectus collected off the coast of Chuuk Island, the Federated State of Micronesia. Based upon a combination of spectroscopic and computational analyses, these compounds were determined to be eight glycine-bearing scalaranes (1–8), a 3-keto scalarane (9), two oxidized-furan-bearing scalaranes (10 and 11), and a salmahyrtisane (12). Several of these compounds exhibited weak antiproliferation against diverse cancer cell lines as well as moderate anti-angiogenesis activities. The antiproliferative activity of new compound 4 was found to be associated with G0/G1 arrest in the cell cycle.

[PMID: 32079311 PMCID: PMC7073611 DOI: 10.3390/metabo10020073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2020] [Revised: 02/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The genus Emericella (Ascomycota) includes more than thirty species with worldwide distribution across many ecosystems. It is considered a rich source of diverse metabolites. The published classes of natural compounds that are discussed here are organized according to the following biosynthetic pathways: polyketides (azaphilones, cyclopentenone pigments, dicyanides, furan derivatives, phenolic ethers, and xanthones and anthraquinones); shikimate derivatives (bicoumarins); mevalonate derivatives (meroterpenes, sesquiterpenes, sesterterpenes and steroids) and amino acids derivatives (alkaloids (indole-derivatives, isoindolones, and piperazine) and peptides (depsipeptides)). These metabolites produce the wide array of biological effects associated with Emericella, including antioxidant, antiproliferative, antimalarial, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and kinase inhibitors. Careful and extensive study of the diversity and distribution of metabolites produced by the genus Emericella (either marine or terrestrial) revealed that, no matter the source of the fungus, the composition of the culture medium effectively controls the metabolites produced. The topic of this review is the diversity of metabolites that have been identified from Emericella, along with the contextual information on either their biological or geographic sources. This review presents 236 natural compounds, which were reported from marine and terrestrial Emericella. Amongst the reported compounds, only 70.2% were biologically assayed for their effects, including antimicrobial or cytotoxicity. This implies the need for substantial investigation of alternative activities. This review includes a full discussion of compound structures and disease management, based on materials published from 1982 through December 2019.

Abstract
Six new asperane-type sesterterpenoids, asperunguisins A-F (1-6), were isolated from the endolichenic fungus Aspergillus unguis, together with a known analogue, aspergilloxide (7); these are rare asperane-type sesterterpenoids, characterized by a unique hydroxylated 7/6/6/5 tetracyclic system. The structures of asperunguisins A-F (1-6) were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods (NMR and HRESIMS), X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis, ECD calculations, and biogenetic considerations. Asperunguisin C (3) showed cytotoxicity against the human cancer cell line A549 with an IC50 value of 6.2 μM. Further investigation revealed that the observed cell death was a result of G0/G1 cell cycle arrest via DNA damage followed by cellular apoptosis.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of MeOH extract of a South China Sea sponge Cacospongia sp. yielded 15 terpenoids belonging to three different skeleton-types, including the unusual C17γ-lactone norditerpenoids (1–3), the rare C21 pyridine meroterpenoid (7), and the notable C25 manoalide-type sesterterpenoids (4–6, 8–10). Compounds 1–5 were initially obtained as enantiomers, and were further separated to be optically pure compounds (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a-r, 3b-r, 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b) by chiral HPLC, with a LiAlH4 reduction aid for 3. Compounds 3a/3b (a pair of inseparable enantiomers), 4a, 5a, 6, and 7 were identified as new compounds, while 1a/1b and 2a/2b were obtained from a natural source and were determined for their absolute configurations for the first time. This is also the first time to encounter enantiomers of the well-known manoalide-type sesterterpenoids from nature. The structures with absolute configurations of the new compounds were unambiguously determined by comprehensive methods including HR-ESI-MS and NMR data analysis, optical rotation comparison, experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and Mo2(OAc)4 induced circular dichroism (ICD) methods. The cytotoxicity of the isolates against selected human tumor cell lines was evaluated, however, the tested compounds showed no activity against selected cell lines.

Abstract
Aspterpenacids A and B are sesterterpenoids that possess a unique and highly congested 5/3/7/6/5 fused ring system. These compounds also contain a sterically encumbered isopropyl trans-hydrindane motif and a cyclopropane motif bearing two quaternary centers, which make them remarkably challenging synthetic targets. Herein, we report the successful construction of the key highly substituted ABC ring system in a stereoselective manner.

Abstract
Sesterterpenes are usually found in plants and fungi, but are rare in bacteria. Here, we present the identification of StsC from Streptomyces somaliensis, a member of the UbiA superfamily, as a membrane-bound sesterterpene cyclase in bacteria. The cyclized products for StsC, somaliensenes A (1) and B (2), were identified by expressing the corresponding gene in an engineered Escherichia coli strain. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by analysis of the NMR and MS spectroscopic data.

Abstract
Prenyltransferase (PT) and terpene synthase (TPS) are key enzymes in the formation of the basic carbon skeletons of terpenoids. The PTs determine the prenyl carbon chain length, whereas TPSs generate the structural complexity of the molecular scaffolds, forming various ring structures. Normally, PTs and TPSs are separate, independent enzymes. However, in 2007, a chimeric enzyme, in which the PT was fused with the TPS, was found in a fungus. Recent studies have revealed that such chimeric TPSs are widely distributed in fungi and function in the biosyntheses of various terpene natural products, including sesterterpenes, which are a relatively rare group of terpenoids. This review summarizes the accumulated knowledge of these recently discovered, unique, chimeric TPSs.

Abstract
A nearly-30-year-old unanswered synthetic puzzle, astellatol, has been solved in an enantiospecific manner. The highly congested pentacyclic skeleton of this rare sesterterpenoid, which possesses a unique bicyclo[4.1.1]octane motif, ten stereocenters, a cyclobutane that contains two quaternary centers, an exo-methylene group, and a sterically encumbered isopropyl trans-hydrindane motif, makes astellatol arguably one of the most challenging targets for sesterterpenoid synthesis. An intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction was exploited to construct the right-hand side scaffold of this sesterterpenoid. An unprecedented reductive radical 1,6-addition, mediated by SmI2 , forged the cyclobutane motif. Last, a strategic oxidation/reduction step provided not only the decisive solution for the remarkably challenging late-stage transformations, but also a highly valuable unravelling of the notorious issue of trans-hydrindane synthesis. Importantly, the synthesis of astellatol showcases a rapid, scalable strategy to access diverse complex isopropyl trans-hydrindane sesterterpenoids.

Abstract
The originally proposed structure of astakolactin was revised, and an asymmetric total synthesis of the newly proposed structure was achieved. The key transformations in the synthesis were a Johnson-Claisen rearrangement, an asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reaction, and a Mitsunobu-type cyclodehydration. The spectroscopic data and specific rotation of the compound obtained matched well with those reported for naturally occurring astakolactin.

Abstract
Many microbial and plant-derived metabolites contribute to the production of inflammatory mediators and the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules. Ophiobolin A (OPA) is a fungal secondary metabolite produced by Bipolaris species. The aim of our study was to examine the acute effects of this compound on inflammatory processes. Male Wistar rats were treated with 5% ethanol, 0.01 mg/kg OPA, 0.1 mg/kg OPA and 1.0 mg/kg OPA per os. After 24 h of the administrations, inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzyme as well as heme oxygenase (HO) activity were measured in both plasma and cardiac tissue, along with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). We found that OPA caused a significant elevation in the concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α, increased MPO activity and decreased HO enzyme activity in the plasma. While OPA induces inflammation in the plasma, it did not change the level of inflammatory mediators in the cardiac tissue and the concentrations of serum ALT and AST. Our findings indicate that rapid release of inflammatory mediators by OPA promotes systemic inflammation. However, this acute OPA treatment does not show toxic effects on the cardiac tissue and the concentrations of liver enzymes.
