Anti-Fibrotic Potential of Tomentosenol A, a Constituent of Cerumen from the Australian Native Stingless Bee, Tetragonula carbonaria. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11081604. [PMID: 36009323 PMCID: PMC9404848 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11081604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Bioactivity-guided fractionation was used to isolate two compounds, tomentosenol A (1) and torellianone A (2), from a cerumen extract from Tetragonula carbonaria. The anti-fibrotic activity of these compounds was examined using human cultured neonatal foreskin fibroblasts (NFF) and immortalised keratinocytes (HaCaTs). Tomentosenol A (1), inhibited NFF and HaCaT cell proliferation and prevented NFF and HaCaT scratch wound repopulation at 12.5-25 µM concentrations. These inhibitory effects were associated with reduced cell viability, determined by tetrazolium dye (MTT) and sulforhodamine B (SRB) assays. Compound 1 further inhibited transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-stimulated, NFF-myofibroblast differentiation and soluble collagen production; and was an effective scavenger of the model oxidant, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH·), with an EC50 value of 44.7 ± 3.1 µM. These findings reveal significant anti-fibrotic potential for cerumen-derived tomentosenol A (1).

Abstract
Covering: June 2009 to 2021Natural products containing a phloroglucinol motif include simple and oligomeric phloroglucinols, polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols, phloroglucinol-terpenes, xanthones, flavonoids, and coumarins. These compounds represent a major class of secondary metabolites which exhibit a wide range of biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and hypoglycaemic properties. A number of these compounds have been authorized for therapeutic use or are currently being studied in clinical trials. Their structural diversity and utility in both traditional and conventional medicine have made them popular synthetic targets over the years. In this review, we compile and summarise the recent synthetic approaches to the natural products bearing a phloroglucinol motif. Focus has been given on ingenious strategies to functionalize the phloroglucinol moiety at multiple positions. The isolation and bioactivities of the compounds are also provided.

Chemical investigation of an endophytic fungus Diaporthe foeniculina SCBG-15, led to the isolation of eight new cyclohexanone derivatives, foeniculins A–H (1–8) and three new phenolic acid derivatives, foeniculins I–K (9–11). Their structures were extensively established on the basis of 1H and 13C NMR spectra together with COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY experiments. The absolute configurations were confirmed by quantum chemical ECD calculations and single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxic and antibacterial activities of isolated compounds 1–11 were also evaluated.

Abstract
Meroterpenoids are secondary metabolites formed due to mixed biosynthetic pathways which are produced in part from a terpenoid co-substrate. These mixed biosynthetically hybrid compounds are widely produced by bacteria, algae, plants, and animals. Notably amazing chemical diversity is generated among meroterpenoids via a combination of terpenoid scaffolds with polyketides, alkaloids, phenols, and amino acids. This review deals with the isolation, chemical diversity, and biological effects of 452 new meroterpenoids reported from natural sources from January 2016 to December 2020. Most of the meroterpenoids possess antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, enzyme inhibitory, and immunosupressive effects.

Abstract
Rhodomyrtusials A-C, the first examples of triketone-sesquiterpene meroterpenoids featuring a unique 6/5/5/9/4 fused pentacyclic ring system were isolated from Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, along with several biogenetically-related dihydropyran isomers. Two bis-furans and one dihydropyran isomer showed acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity. Structures of the isolates were unambiguously established by a combination of spectroscopic data, ECD analysis, and total synthesis. Bioinspired total syntheses of six isolates were achieved in six steps utilizing a reactive enetrione intermediate generated in situ from a readily available hydroxy-endoperoxide precursor.

[PMID: 30195566 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2018.09.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2017] [Revised: 07/30/2018] [Accepted: 09/05/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The leaves of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa are traditionally used in the treatment of infectious diseases such as wound infections in Chinese traditional medicine. The mechanisms of the activity of rhodomyrtosone B (RDSB), a natural acylphloroglucinol isolated from the leaves of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, are still not understood. We provided a detailed investigation of the antibacterial action of RDSB against bacteria in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antibacterial activity of RDSB was tested by the microdilution method against a panel of bacteria, and a time-killing assay was carried out according to CLSI guidelines. The cytotoxic potential of RDSB was evaluated against mammalian cells, and its haemolytic activity towards rabbit red blood cells (RBCs) was assessed. The mode of action of RDSB was investigated by targeting bacterial membranes, and its resistance was evaluated using a sequential passaging method. The antibacterial activities in vivo were assessed against MRSA in a mouse skin infection mode. RESULTS RDSB exhibited distinct antibacterial activities against selected Gram-positive pathogens responsible for serious infections, even including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.62-1.25 µg/mL and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) with an MIC of 2.5 µg/mL. RDSB displayed much more rapid bactericidal activity against MRSA than that of vancomycin. The membrane-targeting experiments revealed that RDSB exhibited significant antibacterial activity with the perturbation of bacterial membrane potential and an increase in membrane permeability. In particular, RDSB had weak cytotoxicity to mammalian cells (IC50 >14 µg/mL) and has advantageous specificity against selected Gram-positive bacterial membranes rather than RBCs. Notably, RDSB displayed in vitro antibacterial activities against MRSA without drug-resistance and profoundly attenuated the skin ulcer formation in a murine model of MRSA infection under a single dose of 40 µg RDSB per mouse. CONCLUSION RDSB has profound antibacterial activity against drug-resistant bacteria (MRSA and VRE) and low cytotoxicity. It is bactericidal in nature, and an increase in membrane permeability resulting from membrane perturbation is one of its modes of action. RDSB represents a promising natural antibiotic to combat drug-resistant (MRSA and VRE) infections.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are well-known as a significant global health challenge. In this study, twenty-two congeners of the natural antibiotic rhodomyrtosone B (RDSB) were synthesized with the aim of specifically enhancing the structural diversity through modifying the pendant acyl moiety. The structure-activity relationship study against various MRSA strains revealed that a suitable hydrophobic acyl tail in the phloroglucinol scaffold is a prerequisite for antibacterial activity. Notably, RDSB analogue 11k was identified as a promising lead compound with significant in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities against a panel of hospital mortality-relevant MRSA strains. Moreover, compound 11k possessed other potent advantages, including breadth of the antibacterial spectrum, rapidity of bactericidal action, and excellent membrane selectivity. The mode of action study of compound 11k at the biophysical and morphology levels disclosed that 11k exerted its MRSA bactericidal action by membrane superpolarization resulting in cell lysis and membrane disruption. Collectively, the presented results indicate that the novel modified RDSB analogue 11k warrants further exploration as a promising candidate for the treatment of MRSA infections.

Abstract
The methanol extract of the flowers of the Australian eucalypt tree Corymbia torelliana yielded six new β-triketone-flavanone hybrids, torellianones A-F (1-6), the tetrahydroxycyclohexane torellianol A (7), and known β-triketones (4 S)-ficifolidione (8) and (4 R)-ficifolidione (9), and β-triketone-flavanones kunzeanone A (10) and kunzeanone B (11). Torellianones A and B, C and D, and E and F were each isolated as inseparable diastereomeric mixtures. Exchange correlations observed in a ROESY spectrum indicated that 5 and 6 also interconverted between stable conformers. The structures of 1-7 were elucidated from the analysis of 1D/2D NMR and MS data. Relative configurations of torellianones C-F and torrellianol A were determined from analysis of ROESY data. Compounds 1-10 were tested for antiplasmodial activity against a drug-sensitive (3D7) strain of Plasmodium falciparum, with 3-6 and 8-10 showing limited antiplasmodial activity, with IC50 values ranging from 3.2 to 16.6 μM.

Abstract
Phytochemical study on the leaves of Melaleuca bracteata resulted in the isolation of ten compounds including three new neolignans, named melaleucins A-C (1-3). Among them, melaleucin B shares a rarely occurring nor-neolignan skeleton, and both melaleucins B and C bear a novel aldehyde moiety, which might also be response for the delicate fragrance of M. bracteata. Their structures were extensively assigned by spectral data interpretation and biomimetic total synthesis. Moreover, their biosynthetic pathway with oxidative radical coupling and Michael addition as critical reactions was also confirmed. The antimicrobial activity evaluation revealed that melaleucin A exhibited considerable antimicrobial activity towards methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
A new acylphloroglucinol with a novel architecture including an unprecedented dearomatic dibenzofuran core, named callistemenonone A (1), was isolated from the leaves of Callistemon viminalis (Myrtaceae). The structure was fully characterized on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including UV, HRESIMS, as well as 1D and 2D NMR spectral data (HSQC, HMBC, and ROESY). The deduced structure represents the first example of a natural dibenzofuran with two phenyl moieties coupling through tertiary hydroxy and ketal carbons. A plausible biogenetic pathway involving oxidative coupling and dearomatization as key steps is proposed to account for the biosynthesis of this novel class of dibenzofuran. Moreover, antimicrobial assays, in conjunction with the time-killing and biophysical studies, revealed that 1 exerted potent bactericidal activity against a panel of methicillin resistant pathogenic microbes with a unique mechanism.

Abstract
Chemical investigations of the MeOH extract of air dried flowers of the Australian tree Angophora woodsiana (Myrtaceae) yielded two new β-triketones, woodsianones A and B (1, 2) and nine known β-triketones (3-11). Woodsianone A is a β-triketone-sesquiterpene adduct and woodsianone B is a β-triketone epoxide derivative. The structures of the new and known compounds were elucidated from the analysis of 1D/2D NMR and MS data. The relative configurations of the compounds were determined from analysis of 1H-1H coupling constants and ROESY correlations. All compounds (1-11) had antiplasmodial activity against the chloroquine sensitive strain 3D7. The known compound rhodomyrtone (5) and new compound woodsianone B (2) showed moderate antiplasmodial activities against the 3D7 strain (1.84µM and 3.00µM, respectively) and chloroquine resistant strain Dd2 (4.00µM and 2.53µM, respectively).

Callviminols A-E, new terpenoid-conjugated phloroglucinols from the leaves of Callistemon viminalis. Fitoterapia 2016; 115:142-147. [PMID: 27777133 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2016.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2016] [Revised: 10/03/2016] [Accepted: 10/05/2016] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Callviminols A-E (1-5), five rare phloroglucinols bearing a framework embodying a hexahydrodibenzo[b,d]furan or 2-phenylcyclohexanol nucleus derived from a phloroglucinol-monoterpene adduct, were isolated from the leaves of Callistemon viminalis. Their structures were established via extensive spectroscopic measurements, with the absolute configuration of 5 determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. The plausible biogenetic pathway suggested that a unique oxidative radical addition and classic cationic cyclization were key biosynthetic steps.
