Abstract
Patumantanes A-D (1-4), four new seco-polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) were isolated from Hypericum patulum. Patumantane A (1) was an unprecedented 1,2-seco-homoadamantane-type PPAP bearing a new 3,7-dioxatetracyclo[7.7.0.01,6.111,15]heptadecane architecture based on a 6/7/5/6 ring system. Patumantane B (2) was a unique 1,9-seco-adamantane-type PPAP with a tricyclo[4.4.4.0.02,12]tridecane core formed by a 6/6/6 carbon skeleton, and the further breakage between C-5 and C-9 decorated patumantane C (3) with the 9-nor-adamantane skeleton. More importantly, compounds 2 and 3 exhibited moderate immunosuppressive activity on Con A-induced T-lymphocyte proliferation in vitro, with IC50 values of 5.6 ± 1.2 and 11.2 ± 1.2 μM, respectively.

Abstract
In this work, nine previous undescribed polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with adamantine/homoadamantane skeletons, cumilcinols A-I (1-9), along with six known analogues, were isolated and identified from the stems, leaves and flowers of Hypericum wilsonii. Their structures were determined by HRESIMS, NMR spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray crystallography as well as electronic circular dichroism calculations and comparisons. Compound 2 formed a unique furan ring bearing a rare acetal functionality. In bioassays, hyperacmosin G (13) could significantly inhibit the production of NO in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cell (IC50 = 4.350 ± 1.146 μM), and increased expression of related transcription factors at the gene level, inhibit the nuclear translocation of NF-κBp65, and reduce the protein expression of COX-2. Additionally, compound 5 showed significant inhibitory activity on Con A-induced T-lymphocyte proliferation (IC50 = 4.803 ± 3.149 μM), and treatment of 5 could reduce the increased ratio of CD4 and CD8 subpopulations induced by Con A in vitro. Those results indicated 13 possesses potential anti-inflammatory activity, and 5 exhibits a certain degree of immunosuppressive activity.

Abstract
Physalis angulata Linn. is an exotic Amazonian fruit that is commonly recognized as wild tomato, winter cherry, and gooseberry. While its fruit is known to contain many nutrients, such as minerals, fibers, and vitamins, few papers have investigated withanolide derivatives from its fruits. UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS, which produces fragmentation spectra, was applied for the first time to guide the isolation of bioactive withanolide derivatives from P. angulata fruits. As a result, twenty-six withanolide derivatives, including two novel 1,10-secowithanolides (1 and 2) and a new derivative (3), were obtained. Compounds 1 and 2 are rare rearranged 1,10-secowithanolides with a tetracyclic 7/6/6/5 ring system. All structures were assigned through various spectroscopic data and quantum chemical calculations. Nine withanolide derivatives exhibited significant inhibitory effects on three tumor cell lines with IC50 values of 0.51-13.79 μM. Moreover, three new compounds (1-3) exhibited potential nitric oxide inhibitory effects in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells (IC50: 7.51-61.8 μM). This investigation indicated that fruits of P. angulata could be applied to treat and prevent cancer and inflammatory-related diseases due to their potent active withanolide derivatives.

Abstract
Hyperpatone A (1), a highly oxidated polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP), along with a biosynthesized related PPAP (2) was isolated from Hypericum patulum under the guidance of LC-MS investigation. Architecturally, compound 1 represents the first PPAP with an unprecedented 8/6/5/6/5 pentacyclic skeleton and an intramolecular peroxy bridge, which might be derived from the [3.3.1]-type bicyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol via the critical Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, decarboxylation, and intramolecular cyclization. The structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, ACD software calculation, and quantum chemical computations. A plausible biogenetic pathway of 1 and 2 was also proposed. Importantly, both compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities against the HEL cell line with the IC50 values ranging from 10.2 to 19.2 μM. Moreover, compound 1 showed an inhibitory effect on NO production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells at a lower concentration of 5 or 1 μM.

Abstract
Extensive phytochemical investigation on the methanol extract of the inflorescences, twigs, and leaves of Brucea javanica led to the isolation and identification of 27 triterpenoids, including 21 previously undescribed ones, named brujavanoids A-U (1-21). Their structures were determined based on comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Of these compounds, brujavanoid A (1) represents the first apotirucallane-type triterpenoid with a novel 19(10 → 9)abeo motif, and brujavanoids B and C (2-3) are the first apotirucallane-type triterpenoids with a rarely occurring 14-hydorxy-15,16-epoxy fragment. All the isolates were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effect in an LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells model. Furthermore, the most active one, brujavanoid E (5), can suppress the transcriptional expression of typical pro-inflammatory mediators and inhibit the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 in the LPS- activated RAW264.7 cells.

Abstract
Talasterone A (1), an unprecedented 6/6/5 tricyclic 13(14 → 8)abeo-8,14-seco-ergostane steroid, together with two known congeners dankasterone B (2) and (14β,22E)-9,14-dihydroxyergosta-4,7,22-triene-3,6-dione (3), were characterized from Talaromyces adpressus. The structure of 1 with absolute configuration was elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic data and ECD calculation. Compound 2 belongs to a class of unconventional 13(14 → 8)abeo-ergostanes, which have been renewed via the 1,2-migration of C-13-C-14 bond to C-8. In addition, compound 1 represents the first example of ergostane with a tricyclic 13(14 → 8)abeo-8,14-seco-ergostane skeleton. The proposed biosynthetic pathway was established with the support of the coisolation of the known congeners from the producing organism. It is especially noteworthy that compound 1 exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity with an IC50 value of 8.73 ± 0.66 μM, inhibiting the NF-κB pathway and thus reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes comprise COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms and are responsible for prostaglandin production. Prostaglandins have critical roles in the inflammation pathway and must be controlled by administration of selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Selective COX-2 inhibitors have been among the most used NSAIDs during the ongoing coronavirus 2019 pandemic because they reduce pain and protect against inflammation-related diseases. In this framework, the mechanism of action of both COX isoforms (particularly COX-2) as inflammation mediators must be reviewed. Moreover, proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and IL-8 must be highlighted due to their major participation in upregulation of the inflammatory reaction. Structural and functional analyses of selective COX-2 inhibitors within the active-site cavity of COXs could enable introduction of lead structures with higher selectivity and potency against inflammation with fewer adverse effects. This review focuses on the biological activity of recently discovered synthetic COX-2, dual COX-2/lipoxygenase, and COX-2/soluble epoxide hydrolase hybrid inhibitors based primarily on the active motifs of related US Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs. These new agents could provide several advantages with regard to anti-inflammatory activity, gastrointestinal protection, and a safer profile compared with those of the NSAIDs celecoxib, valdecoxib, and rofecoxib.

Bioorg Chem 2021; 115:105246. [PMID: 34371372 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Revised: 07/10/2021] [Accepted: 08/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Eleven new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), hyperwilsones A-K (1-11), along with five known PPAPs (12-16), were isolated from Hypericum wilsonii. Their structures were established via spectroscopic methods, the careful analysis of calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, the modified Mosher's method, and [Rh2(OCOCF3)4]-induced ECD. Hyperwilsone A (1) and hyperwilsone B (2) possessed the unique acetal functionality. Hyperwilsone C (3) was a rare example of [3.3.1]-type PPAP possessing a 3-isopropylfuran moiety. In bioassay, compounds 9 and 10 showed potent anti-inflammatory activity against LPS-induced NO production by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and thus reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Compounds 5, 8, 11, and 14 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against SUDHL-4 and HL60 cancer cells with IC50 values in the range of 5.74-19.82 μM.

Abstract
The new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols, hyperforcinols A-J (1-10), were isolated from the fruits of Hypericum forrestii, together with 30 biogenetic congeners of known structures. The structures of hyperforcinols A-J were determined by HRESIMS and 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by a combination of the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) exciton chirality method, ECD calculations, and X-ray diffraction analysis. A selection of 25 isolates, possessing seven types of carbon skeletons, were assessed for their in vitro effects against nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) using a free fatty acid-induced L02 cell model. Compounds 20 and 40 significantly decreased intracellular lipid accumulation. QRT-PCR analyses revealed that compounds 20 and 40 regulate the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes, including CD36, FASN, PPARα, and ACOX1.
