Abstract
Neurotrophins (NGF, BDNF, NT3, NT4) can decrease cell death, induce differentiation, as well as sustain the structure and function of neurons, which make them promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. However, neurotrophins have not been very effective in clinical trials mostly because they cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier owing to being high-molecular-weight proteins. Thus, neurotrophin-mimic small molecules, which stimulate the synthesis of endogenous neurotrophins or enhance neurotrophic actions, may serve as promising alternatives to neurotrophins. Small-molecular-weight natural products, which have been used in dietary functional foods or in traditional medicines over the course of human history, have a great potential for the development of new therapeutic agents against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. In this contribution, a variety of natural products possessing neurotrophic properties such as neurogenesis, neurite outgrowth promotion (neuritogenesis), and neuroprotection are described, and a focus is made on the chemistry and biology of several neurotrophic natural products.

Abstract
Illicium verum Hook. F., also known as star anise, is one of the most important plants of the genus Anise in the family Magnoliaceae. I. verum not only has the functions of warming Yang, dispersing cold, regulating Qi and relieving pain but can also be used as a condiment to increase flavor as well as reconcile and remove fish smells. Currently, 201 chemical constituents have been identified from star anise; among these, star anise oil and shikimic acid are the two most widely used and studied chemical components in star anise, with the oil accounting for a large proportion of the total. This review integrates, classifies and updates studies related to the botany, pharmacology, phytochemistry, traditional and modern uses and quality control of star anise, with a special reference to its phytochemical composition and pharmacological activity. It will provide a reference for further research on this important medicinal plant. In addition, the broad applications and research profiles of star anise essential oil and shikimic acid are highlighted. Our review indicates that the research prospects regarding star anise are very broad and worthy of further investigation.

Abstract
We disclose unified, protecting-group-free, bioinspired divergent total syntheses of eight allo-cedrane and seco-prezizaane Illicium sesquiterpenes and formal syntheses of five anislactone sesquiterpenes. The efficiency of our approach derives from rapid access to the 15-carbon tricyclic carboxylic acid through cationic epoxide-ene cyclization and HAT oxygenation, transformation of this intermediate into three distinct tricyclic precursors via Lewis acid-mediated skeletal reorganizations, subsequent programmed oxidation level enhancement, and a biomimetic oxidation-initiated skeletal rearrangement cascade. Consequently, we created a synthetic correlation map of the three most prevalent Illicium sesquiterpene families.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of an alcohol extract from the twigs and leaves of Illicium henryi Diels resulted in the isolation of two new acorane-related seco-sesquiterpenes (1 and 3), two new acorane-related seco-norsesquiterpenes (2 and 4), one new 2-epi-cedrane sesquiterpene (5), eight new acorane-type sesquiterpenes (6-13), and a known major constituent of acorenone B (14). Their structures were established by interpreting extensive spectroscopic data, including HRESIMS, NMR (1H and 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, and HMBC), and NOE difference spectra analysis. The absolute configurations of 1, 2, 4-7, 9, 10, and 14 were determined by X-ray crystallography, while chemical transformation methods were performed with compound 14 as the starting material to elegantly solve the absolute configuration issue of compounds 8 and 11-13. Notably, 1 and 2 are seco-sesquiterpenes that are related to acorane and possess an unusual ketal-linked hemiacetal in a 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-7-ol scaffold ring system. Plausible biosynthetic pathways for compounds 1-14, which were derived from the acorane skeleton, were proposed. All the isolated compounds (1-14) were evaluated for their antiviral and cytotoxic activities.

Discovery, semisynthesis and neurite outgrowth-promoting activity of novel merrillianone/cycloparviforalone based esters as neurotrophic agents. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2021; 36:127832. [PMID: 33524533 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2021.127832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Revised: 01/14/2021] [Accepted: 01/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Natural products (NPs) are very important sources for the development of new drugs. Merrillianone and cycloparvifloralone, isolated from the roots, stems, and fruits of Illicium henryi Diels, are two natural sesquiterpene compounds. In continuation of our effort to discovery more effective neurotrophic compounds from NPs, a series of novel merrillianone/cycloparviforalone based esters 2a-i, 3a-g and 3i-q were prepared and their structures were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectral analyses. Furthermore, the spatial structure of compound 2h was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The neurite outgrowth-promoting activity results indicated that most of the target derivatives exhibited more potent neurite outgrowth-promoting activity than merrillianone and cycloparviforalone. Among all target derivatives, the neurite outgrowth-promoting activity of compounds 2a, 3a and 3b was about 2-fold stronger than that of their precursors merrillianone and cycloparviforalone, respectively. Besides, compounds 2a and 3a displayed relatively low cytotoxicity to normal GES-1 cells. Moreover, these derivatives had good hydrolytic stability. Finally, some interesting results of the structure-activity relationships (SARs) were also discussed. This work will pave the way for the development of merrillianone/cycloparviforalone derivatives as potential neurotrophic agents.

Abstract
Background Anisatin is a neurotoxic sesquiterpene dilactone wildly found in plants of the family Illiciaceae. Due to morphological similarities among Illiciaceae fruits, fatal poisonings are frequent. Objective This study is aimed at developing a rapid, simple ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method to determine anisatin's bioavailability in mouse blood and the method's application to pharmacokinetics. Methods Blood samples were preprocessed by protein precipitation using acetonitrile. Salicin (internal standard, IS) and anisatin were gradient-eluted by a mobile phase of methanol and water (0.1% formic acid) in a UPLC BEH C18 column. This step involved using an electrospray ionization source of anisatin at a mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of 327.1 → 127.0 and IS at m/z 285.1 → 122.9 in the negative ion mode with multiple reaction monitoring. Results The calibration curve ranged from 1 to 2000 ng/ml (r > 0.995), with the method's accuracy ranging from 86.3% to 106.9%. Intraday and interday precision were lower than 14%, and the matrix effect was between 93.9% and 103.3%. The recovery rate was higher than 67.2%. Conclusions The developed UPLC-MS/MS method was successfully used for a pharmacokinetic study of oral (1 mg/kg) and intravenous (0.5 mg/kg) administration of anisatin to mice—the absolute bioavailability of anisatin in the mouse blood was 22.6%.

Abstract
Medicinal herbs are one of the imperative sources of drugs all over the world. Star anise (Illicium verum), an evergreen, medium-sized tree with star-shaped fruit, is an important herb with wide distribution throughout southwestern parts of the Asian continent. Besides its use as spice in culinary, star anise is one of the vital ingredients of the Chinese medicinal herbs and is widely known for its antiviral effects. It is also the source of the precursor molecule, shikimic acid, which is used in the manufacture of oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), an antiviral medication for influenza A and influenza B. Besides, several other molecules with numerous biological benefits including the antiviral effects have been reported from the same plant. Except the antiviral potential, star anise possesses a number of other potentials such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, anthelmintic, insecticidal, secretolytic, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective, sedative properties, expectorant and spasmolytic, and estrogenic effects. This review aimed to integrate the information on the customary attributes of the plant star anise with a specific prominence on its antiviral properties and the phytochemical constituents along with its clinical aptness.

Abstract
The root bark of Illicium henryi has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat lumbar muscle strain and rheumatic pain. Its ethanol extract (EEIH) has been previously reported to attenuate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury in mice. The present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activities and in vivo protective effects of EEIH against LPS-induced acute liver injury (ALI) in mice as well as explore its molecular mechanisms. The mice were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with EEIH at the doses of 1.25, 2.5, and 5.0 mg/kg every day for 5 days. One hour after the last administration, the mice were administered i.p. with LPS (8 mg/kg). After fasting for 12 h, blood and liver tissues were collected to histopathological observation, biochemical assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and Western blot analyses. EEIH possessed 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiozoline-6-sulfonic acid) disodium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging activities and ferric-reducing antioxidant capacity in vitro. The histopathological examination, serum biochemical analysis, and liver myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity showed that EEIH pretreatment alleviated LPS-induced liver injury in mice. EEIH significantly dose-dependently decreased the mRNA and protein expression levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and COX-2 in liver tissue of LPS-induced ALI mice via downregulating the mRNA and protein expressions of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and inhibiting the phosphorylation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65. Furthermore, EEIH markedly ameliorated liver oxidative and nitrosative stress burden in LPS-treated mice through reducing the content of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and nitric oxide (NO) levels, restoring the decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, and up-regulating nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2). These results demonstrate that EEIH has protective effects against ALI in mice via alleviating inflammatory response, oxidative and nitrosative stress burden through activating the Nrf2 and suppressing the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathways. The hepatoprotective activity of EEIH might be attributed to the flavonoid compounds such as catechin (1), 3',4',7-trihydroxyflavone (2), and taxifolin (7) that most possibly act synergistically.

Abstract
During the course of searching for antiviral agents from Chinese medicinal herbs, we found that the supercritical fluid extract (SFE) of Centipeda minima possessed good in vitro antiviral activity against influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 H1N1 (PR8). Bioassay-guided isolation and identification led to the isolation from this extract of seven pseudoguaianolides (1-7). These, as well as nine other sesquiterpene lactones (8-16) previously isolated from this herb were all tested for their anti-PR8 activity using both the cytopathogenic effect (CPE) reduction and cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assays. As a result, eight pseudoguaianolides (1-8) possessing an α,β-unsaturated cyclopentenone moiety showed antiviral activity against PR8 to different extents. Of the active compounds, brevilin A (4) exhibited the strongest anti-PR8 activity, with an IC50 value much lower than that of the positive control ribavirin. Mechanistic study revealed that brevilin A affected the intracellular replication of PR8 via downregulating the expression of viral M2 protein. All these results suggest the potential application of the pseudoguaianolides containing an α,β-unsaturated cyclopentenone moiety (e.g. brevilin A) in the treatment of influenza virus infection.

Abstract
A new cascade process has been accomplished for the synthesis of tetrahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]furans through palladium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 1] cyclization of 1,6-enynes with vinyl bromides. Notably, the key feature of this transformation is the use of vinyl bromides as the C1 building block. Various functionalized tetrahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]furans bearing two quaternary carbon centers could be obtained in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
Water-distilled essential oil from Illicium henryi (Illiciaceae) root bark was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Thirty-four compounds, accounting for 97.86% of the total oil, were identified. The main components of the essential oil of I. henryi root bark were safrole (46.12%), myristicin (20.39%), and 1,8-cineole (6.17%), followed by α-cadinol (3.784%) and linalool (3.22%). The essential oil had higher levels of phenylpropanoids (66.89%) than of monoterpenoids (14.83%) and sesquiternoids (16.14%). Three constituents were isolated from the oil based on bioactivity fractionation. The essential oil possessed fumigant toxicity against booklice (Liposcelis bostrychophila), with a 50% lethal concentration (LC50) of 380.39 μg/liter of air, while the two isolated constituents myristicin and safrole had LC50s of 121.95 and 322.54 μg/liter, respectively. Another constituent, 1,8-cineole, showed weaker toxicity, with an LC50 of 1,120.43 μg/liter. The essential oil also exhibited contact toxicity against L. bostrychophila, with an LC50 of 96.83 μg/cm(2). Myristicin (LC50, 18.74 μg/cm(2)) and safrole (LC50, 69.28 μg/cm(2)) exhibited stronger acute toxicity than 1,8-cineole (LC50, 1,049.41 μg/cm(2)) against the booklice. The results indicated that the essential oil and its constituent compounds have potential for development into natural insecticides for control of psocids in stored grains.

Abstract
Eleven prenylated C(6)-C(3) compounds, illihenryifunones A, B (1, 2), illihenryifunol A (3), illihenryipyranol A (4), illihenryiones A-G (5-11), and three known prenylated C(6)-C(3) compounds (12-14), were isolated from the roots of Illicium henryi. Structures of 1-11 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including NMR, HRESIMS, and CD. The absolute configuration of the 11,12-diol moiety in 5 was determined by observing its induced circular dichroism after addition of Mo(2)(OAc)(4) in DMSO. The absolute configuration of C-11 in 4 was determined as S based on the Rh(2)(OCOCF(3))(4)-induced CD data; the absolute configuration of 3 was determined as R by comparison of its experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD). The antioxidant activities of compounds 1-14 were also evaluated. Compound 4 exhibited strong antioxidant activity with an IC(50) value of 2.97±1.30 μM, whereas compounds 3 and 8 showed antioxidant activities with IC(50) values of 44.36±0.30 and 48.00±2.01 μM, respectively.
