Abstract
Two new cycloartane triterpenoid glycosides, soulieoside V (1) and 15-deacetylbeesioside O (2), together with one known compound, beesioside J (3), were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the rhizomes of Actaea vaginata. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and by comparison with data reported in the literature. All the compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activities against human cancer cell lines.

Li X, Zhao Z, Sun Z, Sun Z, Ma G, Zhao X, Xu X, Yang M, Wu X, Wu H, Zou Q, Zhang J. Cytotoxic cycloartane triterpenoid saponins from Actaea vaginata and their mechanism of action. Carbohydr Res 2022; 521:108673. [PMID: 36148696 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2022.108673] [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: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
A further phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Actaea vaginata afforded two new cycloartane triterpenoid saponins, (20S*,24R*)-15α,16β-diacetoxy-20,24-epoxy-9,19-cyclolanostane-3β,25-diol-3-O-β-d-xylopyranoside (1) and (20S)-15β,16β -diacetoxy-18,20-epoxy-3β,25-diol-24-oxo-9,19-cyclolanostan-3-O-β-D-xylo-pyrano-syl-25-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), together with four known compounds (3-6). Their structures were established on the basis of extensive analysis of NMR and HRESIMS data as well as by comparison with the reported data in the literature. All the isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 36.10 and 27.39 μM, respectively. In addition, beesioside I (6) was found to significantly inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in HepG2 cells. A closer examination of underlying mechanism revealed that beesioside I could increase the levels of ROS and caspase-3 and promote phosphorylation of JNK in the JNK signaling pathway. Molecular modeling studies also shed further light on how beesioside I interacted with the key protein kinase.

Chen JJ, Cheng MJ, Lee TH, Kuo YH, Lu CT. Secondary Metabolites with Anti-Inflammatory from the Roots of Cimicifuga taiwanensis. Molecules 2022; 27:1657. [PMID: 35268758 PMCID: PMC8912030 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27051657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 02/12/2022] [Accepted: 02/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The genus Cimicifuga is one of the smallest genera in the family Ranunculaceae. Cimicifugae Rhizoma originated from rhizomes of Cimicifuga simplex, and C. dahurica, C. racemosa, C. foetida, and C. heracleifolia have been used as anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic remedies in Chinese traditional medicine. Inflammation is related to many diseases. Cimicifuga taiwanensis was often used in folk therapy in Taiwan for inflammation. Phytochemical investigation and chromatographic separation of extracts from the roots of Cimicifuga taiwanensis has led to the isolation of six new compounds: cimicitaiwanins A-F (1-6, respectively). The structures of the new compounds were unambiguously elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analysis (1D- and 2D-NMR, MS, and UV) and comparison with the literature data. The effect of some isolates on the inhibition of NO production in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages was evaluated. Of the isolates, 3-6 exhibited potent anti-NO production activity, with IC50 values ranging from 6.54 to 24.58 μM, respectively, compared with that of quercetin, an iNOS inhibitor with an IC50 value of 34.58 μM. This is the first report on metabolite from the endemic Taiwanese plant-C. taiwanensis.
