Abstract
Cancer is a neoplastic disease that remains a global challenge with a reported prevalence that is increasing annually. Though existing drugs can be applied as single or combined therapies for managing this pathology, their concomitant adverse effects in human applications have led to the need to continually screen natural products for effective and alternative anticancer bioactive principles. Alkaloids are chemical molecules that, due to their structural diversity, constitute a reserve for the discovery of lead compounds with interesting pharmacological activities. Several in vitro studies and a few in vivo findings have documented various cytotoxic and antiproliferative properties of alkaloids. This review describes chaetocochin J, neopapillarine, coclaurine, reflexin A, 3,10-dibromofascaplysin and neferine, which belong to different alkaloid classes with antineoplastic properties and have been identified recently from plants. Despite their low solubility and bioavailability, plant-derived alkaloids have viable prospects as sources of viable lead antitumor agents. This potential can be achieved if more research on these chemical compounds is directed toward investigating ways of improving their delivery in an active form close to target cells, preferably with no effect on neighboring normal tissues.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:11201-11212. [PMID: 37008118 PMCID: PMC10061504 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c08100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Two undescribed alkaloids (10 and 11), along with nine known alkaloids (1-9), have been isolated from the stem and root bark of Glycosmis pentaphylla. Among them are carbocristine (11), a carbazole alkaloid first time isolated from a natural source, and acridocristine (10), a pyranoacridone alkaloid first time isolated from the genus "Glycosmis". In vitro cytotoxicity of isolated compounds has been analyzed on breast cancer (MCF-7), lung cancer (CALU-3), and squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (SCC-25). The results demonstrated that compounds are moderately active. In order to study the structural activity relationship of majorly isolated compounds, semisynthetic modifications have been done on majorly isolated compounds such as des-N-methylacronycine (4) and noracronycine (1) to synthesize 11 semisynthetic derivatives (12-22) on functionalizable -NH and -OH groups of the pyranoacridone scaffold at 12th and 6th positions. Semisynthetic derivatives are explored on the same cell lines as isolated compounds, and the results exhibit that semisynthetic compounds showed potent cytotoxic activity compared with naturally isolated compounds. In the case of CALU-3, the dimer at -OH position of noracronycine (1), i.e., compound 22, showed 24-fold better activity with an IC50 of 4.49 μM compared with noracronycine (1) with IC50 97.5 μM. In MCF-7, the dimer at -OH position of noracronycine (1), i.e., compound 22, showed 14-fold better activity with an IC50 of 13.2 μM compared with noracronycine (1) with IC50 187 μM.

Abstract
Fourteen new sulphur-containing amides, glycocramides A-N (1-14), as well as nine known analogues (15-23) were isolated and characterized from Glycosmis craibii Tanaka. The chemical structures of new sulphur-containing amides 1-14 were ambiguously elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods, while the known compounds 15-23 were identified by the comparison of their experimental spectral data with those described data in the literatures. The antiproliferative effects of all isolated sulphur-containing amides were evaluated in vitro. As a result, part of sulphur-containing amides showed remarkable inhibitory effects against MGC-803 cell line with IC50 values ranging from 13.12 ± 0.10 to 20.03 ± 0.13 μM. These research results suggest that the sulphur-containing amides are potentially to be developed as a new natural anti-tumor drugs.

Abstract
Carbazole alkaloids, as an important class of natural products, have been widely reported to have extensive biological activities. Based on our previous three-component reaction to construct carbazole scaffolds, we introduced a methylene group to provide a rotatable bond, and designed series of carbazole derivatives with structural diversity including carbazole amide, carbazole hydrazide and carbazole hydrazone. All synthesized carbazole derivatives were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against 7901 (gastric adenocarcinoma), A875 (human melanoma) and MARC145 (African green monkey kidney) cell lines. The preliminary results indicated that compound 14a exhibited high inhibitory activities on 7901 and A875 cancer cells with the lowest IC50 of 11.8 ± 1.26 and 9.77 ± 8.32 μM, respectively, which might be the new lead compound for discovery of novel carbazole-type anticancer agents.

Abstract
Plant-derived (phyto) carbazole alkaloids are an important class of compounds, presented in the family of Rutaceae (Genera Murraya, Clausena, Glycosmis, Micromelum and Zanthoxylum). Due to several significant biological activities, such as antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic, anti-HIV and neuroprotective activities of the parent skeleton (3-methylcarbazole), carbazole alkaloids are recognized as an important class of potential therapeutic agents. Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) may exhibit a vast range of conditions, affecting neurons primarily and leading ultimately to the progressive losses of normal motor and cognitive functions. The main pathophysiological indicators of NDs comprise increasing atypical protein folding, oxidative stresses, mitochondrial dysfunctions, deranged neurotransmissions and neuronal losses. Phyto-carbazole alkaloids can be investigated for exerting multitarget approaches to ameliorating NDs. This review presents a comprehensive evaluation of the available scientific literature on the neuroprotective mechanisms of phyto-carbazole alkaloids from the Rutaceae family in ameliorating NDs.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Glycosmis pentaphylla (Retz.) DC. is a perennial shrub indigenous to the tropical and subtropical regions of India, China, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippine, Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Australia. The plant is used extensively within these regions as a traditional medicine for the treatment of a variety of ailments including cough, fever, chest pain, anemia, jaundice, liver disorders, inflammation, bronchitis, rheumatism, urinary tract infections, pain, bone fractures, toothache, gonorrhea, diabetes, cancer and other chronic diseases. AIM OF THE REVIEW This review aims to present up-to-date information regarding the taxonomy, botany, distribution, ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicological profile of G. pentaphylla. The presented information was analyzed critically to understand current work undertaken on this species and explore possible future prospects for this plant in pharmaceutical research. MATERIALS & METHODS Bibliographic databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Wiley Online Library, Semantic Scholar, Europe PMC, Scopus, and MEDLINE, were explored thoroughly for the collection of relevant information. The structures of phytoconstituents were confirmed with PubChem and SciFinder databases. Taxonomical information on the plant was presented in accordance with The Plant List (version 1.1). RESULTS Extensive phytochemical investigations into different parts of G. pentaphylla have revealed the presence of at least 354 secondary metabolites belonging to structurally diverse classes including alkaloids, amides, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, glycosides, aromatic compounds, steroids, terpenoids, and fatty derivatives. A large number of in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated that G. pentaphylla had anticancer, antimutagenic, antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, mosquitocidal, antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, anti-arsenicosis, and wound healing properties. Toxicological studies have established the absence of any significant adverse reactions and showed that the plant had a moderate safety profile. CONCLUSIONS G. pentaphylla can be suggested as a source of inspiration for the development of novel drugs, especially anticancer, antimicrobial, anthelmintic, and mosquitocidal agents. Moreover, bioassay-guided investigations into its diverse classes of secondary metabolites, especially the large pool of nitrogen-containing alkaloids and amides, promises the development of novel drug candidates. Future pharmacological studies into this species are also warranted as many of its traditional uses are yet to be validated scientifically.

Abstract
The present article is a systematic and constructive review of the traditional medicinal uses, chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, and formulation aspects of Glycosmis species. The genus Glycosmis comprise 51 accepted species broadly distributed in Australia, China, India, and South-East Asia. Traditionally, Glycosmis species are used in folk medicines to treat cancer, anaemia, rheumatism, fever, cough, liver-related problems, skin ailments, intestinal worm infections, wounds, and facial inflammation. This review aims to provide readers with the latest information highlighting chemical constituents isolated from the Glycosmis species, plant parts utilized for their isolation and their pharmacological activities. So far, 307 chemical constituents have been isolated and characterized from different species of the genus Glycosmis; among these constituents, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolics, and sulphur-containing amides are the major bioactive compounds. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the crude extracts and compounds isolated from this genus exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities like anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antidiabetic, antioxidant, larvicidal, insecticidal, hepatoprotective, wound healing, antiviral, antidiarrheal, and anxiolytic. The carbazole and acridone alkaloids from this genus have shown potential anticancer activity in various in vitro and in vivo studies. Rare scaffolds like dimeric carbazoles, dimeric acridone alkaloids, flavanocoumarins and sulphur-containing amides from this genus need further exploration for their potential bioactivity. This article also briefs about the toxicological screening and discusses various polyherbal and nano formulation aspects of Glycosmis species. Most of the pharmacological studies reported from this genus were carried out in vitro. An in-depth in vivo and toxicology evaluation of the crude extracts and isolated specialized compounds is required to explore the full therapeutic potential of this genus.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is the first choice for the majority of cancers, but severe side effects and drug resistance restrict the actual clinical efficacy. Carbazole alkaloids, mainly from the Rutaceae family, possess favorable donor ability, good planarity, rich photophysical properties, and excellent biocompatibility. Carbazole alkaloids could not only intercalate in DNA but could also inhibit telomerase and topoisomerase and regulate protein phosphorylation. Hence, carbazole alkaloids are useful in providing lead hits/candidates for the development of novel anticancer agents. This review summarizes the research progress made regarding the anticancer properties of carbazole alkaloids, covering articles published from January 2010 to June 2021.

Abstract
The continuous attempt of drug discovery and search for a potential drug
molecules with promising pharmacological activities is always of immense interest. Most of
those chemical compounds having active pharmacological effects contain heterocyclic nucleus
or compounds. Heterocyclic compounds clutch a particular place among pharmaceutically
active natural and synthetic compounds. The ability to serve both as biomimetics and
reactive pharmacophores of the heterocyclic nucleus is incredible and principally contributed
to their unique value as traditional key elements of many drugs. These heterocyclic nuclei
offer a huge area for new lead molecules in drug discovery and for the generation of activity
relationships with biological targets to enhance their pharmacological effects. In the
heterocyclic nucleus, the hydrogen bond acceptors and donors arranged in a manner of a
semi-rigid skeleton in heterocyclic rings and therefore can present a varied display of significant
pharmacophores. Lead identification and optimization of a probable drug target can
be achieved by the generation of chemically diverse heterocyclic pharmacophores with different
groups or substituents. Herein, an attempt is made to review and summarize the naturally
occurring carbazole containing alkaloids obtained from Murraya, Causena and Glycosmis
species and their potential towards anticancer activity. Carbazole is a tricyclic heterocyclic
molecule and an integral part of naturally occurring alkaloids possessing various
potential biological activities such as anticancer, antimicrobial and antiviral. Due to the high
binding affinity of carbazole towards nucleic acid/ receptor and mimicking their biological
activity, carbazole derived alkaloids exhibit the potential cytotoxic effect.

Abstract
Glycosmis pentaphylla is traditionally used for treating many diseases in Bangladesh. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Glycosmis pentaphylla have been reported prominently but no bioactive element has been identified so far. In order to explore its analgesic and antiinflammatory compound(s), phytochemical analysis was conducted. Nine compounds were isolated from the methanol extract of leaves of Glycosmis pentaphylla whose structures were solved as arborinine (1), vanillic acid (2), 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (3), benzoic acid (4), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (5), stigmasterol (6), β-amyrin (7), phytol (8) and 3α,16α-dihydroxyolean-12-ene (9) by spectroscopic studies, including high field 1H NMR analyses as well as co-TLC with authentic samples whenever possible. Among these, compounds 3 and 9 are the first report of their occurrence from G. pentaphylla. in silico docking studies of these metabolites with cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, an enzyme responsible for producing prostaglandins, were conducted. It was found that only arborinine and phytol can bind in the active site of COX-2, which might be considered as the major responsible moieties to cause analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
Subtype-selective α1-adrenoceptor (AR) antagonists display optimum therapeutic efficacies for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In this study, we designed and synthesized novel carbazole-arylpiperazines derivatives (1 and 2) on the basis of the proposed pharmacophore model for α1-AR antagonists. Structural properties were investigated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Comparison of crystal structures with ligand-based pharmacophore models revealed that the two agents may possess antagonistic effects on α1D subtype. Tissue functional assay in vitro showed that compound 2 exerted strong antagonistic activity on α1B-AR (pA2 7.13) with a poor selectivity for α1A and α1D subtypes. Compound 1 exhibited enhanced antagonistic effect on α1D subtype (pA2 7.06) and excellent selectivity for α1D over α1B (α1D/α1B ratio=79.4). To illustrate the relationship between antagonistic activity and chemical structure, molecular docking studies were performed using the homology models of α1 receptors. Binding mechanism indicated that small hydrophobic substituents attached to the arylpiperazine moiety were essential for rational design of α1D-selective antagonists.
