Abstract
Eight previously undescribed compounds comprising pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde derivatives, namely periplanpyrroles A-D (1-4), spirooxindole derivatives perispirooxindoles A (5) and B (6), and the phenolic compounds periplanetols G (7) and H (8), along with eight known compounds were isolated from the 70% ethanol extract of the whole bodies of Periplaneta americana. Their structures including absolute configurations were unambiguously identified by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and computational methods. In addition, all compounds were evaluated for their activities against triple negative breast cancer in vitro. The wound healing assay revealed that 7, 9, and 11 significantly inhibit the migration of BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Further observations made in Western blotting experiments showed that 7 could dose-dependently decrease the protein level of vimentin and N-cadherin in MDA-MB-231 and BT549 cells.

Abstract
Medicinal insects play an important role in the treatment of refractory diseases due to their unique and rich pharmacological activities. However, compared to plants, microorganisms, and marine organisms, medicinal insects have been largely ignored. Some small molecules isolated from insects are known to have defensive effects, but their majority roles remain unknown. In-depth research on the small molecules of medicinal insects has been conducted in recent years. Then alkaloids, dopamine derivatives, nucleoside derivatives, and other components are obtained. Among them, dopamine derivatives are a unique class of components from medicinal insects. Thus, we present a comprehensive overview of chemical structures and biological activities of dopamine derivatives from some medicinal insects, which will bring more attention to other researchers for further chemical and biological investigations on the unique dopamine derivatives as well as medicinal insects.

Abstract
Catecholamines (CAs) are aromatic amines containing a 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl nucleus and an amine side chain. Representative CAs included the endogenous neurotransmitters epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. CAs and their derivatives are good resources for the development of sympathomimetic or central nervous system drugs, while they also provide ligands important for G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) research. CAs are of broad interest in the fields of chemical, biological, medical, and material sciences due to their high adhesive capacities, chemical reactivities, metal-chelating abilities, redox activities, excellent biocompatibilities, and ease of degradability. Herein, we summarize CAs derivatives isolated and identified from microorganisms, plants, insects, and marine invertebrates in recent decades, alongside their wide range of reported biological activities. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the structural and biological diversities of CAs, the regularity of their natural occurrences, and insights toward future research and development pertinent to this important class of naturally occurring compounds.

Abstract
Entomotherapy, the use of insects for medicinal purposes, has been practised for centuries in many countries around the world. More than 2100 edible insect species are eaten by humans, but little is known about the possibility of using these insects as a promising alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals for treating diseases. This review offers a fundamental understanding of the therapeutic applications of insects and how they might be used in medicine. In this review, 235 insect species from 15 orders are reported to be used as medicine. Hymenoptera contains the largest medicinal insect species, followed by Coleoptera, Orthoptera, Lepidoptera, and Blattodea. Scientists have examined and validated the potential uses of insects along with their products and by-products in treating various diseases, and records show that they are primarily used to treat digestive and skin disorders. Insects are known to be rich sources of bioactive compounds, explaining their therapeutic features such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, and so on. Challenges associated with the consumption of insects (entomophagy) and their therapeutic uses include regulation barriers and consumer acceptance. Moreover, the overexploitation of medicinal insects in their natural habitat has led to a population crisis, thus necessitating the investigation and development of their mass-rearing procedure. Lastly, this review suggests potential directions for developing insects used in medicine and offers advice for scientists interested in entomotherapy. In future, entomotherapy may become a sustainable and cost-effective solution for treating various ailments and has the potential to revolutionize modern medicine.

Abstract
Entomoceuticals define a subset of pharmaceuticals derived from insects. The therapeutic effect of insect-derived drugs has been empirically validated by the direct use of various folk medicines originating from three sources in particular: the glandular secretions of insects (e.g., silk, honey, venom), the body parts of the insect or the whole used live or by various processing (e.g., cooked, toasted, ground), and active ingredients extracted from insects or insect-microbe symbiosis. Insects have been widely exploited in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) relative to other ethnomedicines, especially in the prospect of insect species for medicinal uses. It is noticeable that most of these entomoceuticals are also exploited as health food for improving immune function. In addition, some edible insects are rich in animal protein and have high nutritional value, which are used in the food field, such as insect wine, health supplements and so on. In this review, we focused on 12 insect species that have been widely used in traditional Chinese herbal formulae but have remained less investigated for their biological properties in previous studies. We also combined the entomoceutical knowledge with recent advances in insect omics. This review specifies the underexplored medicinal insects from ethnomedicine and shows their specific medicinal and nutritional roles in traditional medicine.

Abstract
Fibrosis is the end stage of many chronic inflammatory diseases and eventually leads to organ failure. Periplaneta americana (P. americana) is referred to as "the product of flesh and blood" in traditional Chinese medicine and has a wide range of therapeutic effects. Owing to the growing interest in this insect for its application in the treatment of tissue injury-healing disorders that induce organ fibrosis, it has attracted the interest of researchers. A literature search was performed using core collections of electronic databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang, using the keywords given below and terms such as pharmacological and biochemical details of this insect. P. americana extracts presented a wide range of therapeutic and biological activities, including antifibrotic, antiinflammatory, antioxidative, and tissue repair activities. Emerging evidence suggests that P. americana extracts may improve scarring, pulmonary fibrosis, liver fibrosis, and kidney fibrosis through the regulation of fibroblast activation, cytokine secretion, and deposition of fibrin, indicating the potential role of P. americana as a therapeutic option for organ fibrosis. P. americana is a potential therapeutic agent for treating fibrosis. Further studies are required for a more in-depth characterization of the antifibrogenic mechanism of P. americana prior to its clinical application in the treatment of organ fibrosis. (Fig. 1).

Abstract
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), insects from the family Blattidae have a long history of application, and their related active compounds have excellent pharmacological properties, making them a prominent concern with significant potential for medicinal and healthcare purposes. However, the medicinal potential of the family Blattidae has not been fully exploited, and many problems must be resolved urgently. Therefore, a comprehensive review of its chemical composition, pharmacological activities, current research status, and existing problems is necessary. In order to make the review clearer and more systematic, all the contents were independently elaborated and summarized in a certain sequence. Each part started with introducing the current situation or a framework and then was illustrated with concrete examples. Several pertinent conclusions and outlooks were provided after discussing relevant key issues that emerged in each section. This review focuses on analyzing the current studies and utilization of medicinal insects in the family Blattidae, which is expected to provide meaningful and valuable relevant information for researchers, thereby promoting further exploration and development of lead compounds or bioactive fractions for new drugs from the insects.

Abstract
Two new glycosides, periplanosides A (1) and B (2), 3 compounds reported from a natural source for the first time (3 − 5), and 6 known compounds 6 − 11 were isolated from the ethanol extract of Periplaneta americana (Linnaeus). Their structures, including absolute configurations, were unambiguously identified by comprehensive spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compound 3 is a racemate whose enantiomers were purified by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography . The biological evaluation results showed that compound 7 (0 − 20 μM) did not affect the viability of RAW264.7 cells and could effectively inhibit the production of interleukin-6 stimulated by lipopolysaccharide in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating the potential to develop novel agents against inflammation-related diseases.

[PMID: 32272163 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2020.104589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Six new compounds, periplanetols A - F (1-4, 6 and 7), a compound isolated from natural origin for the first time (5), and nine known ones (8-16) were isolated from the 70% ethanol extract of the whole bodies of Periplaneta americana. Their structures including absolute configurations were unambiguously identified by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and computational methods. Biological evaluation toward COX-2 inhibition revealed that compounds 1, 2, and 10 could inhibit COX-2 activity with the IC50 values of 768.0 nM, 617.7 nM, and 599.5 nM respectively, indicating their potential in developping novel agents against inflammation related disorders.
