PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2020; 177:112433. [PMID: 32570051 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2020.112433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2019] [Revised: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/04/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The present review describes the chemistry and physiological properties of the sucrose esters (SEs) obtained from natural or synthetic pathways, with emphasis on those that have aliphatic and phenylpropanoid substituents on their sucrose moiety. Synthesis, extraction and characterization methods for the SEs and NSEs are discussed in terms of synthetic procedures, separation techniques and spectroscopic methods. The physiological properties are discussed taking into account the nature of the substituent groups and their regiochemistry (position and number of substitutions) on the sucrose moiety.

[PMID: 29421944 PMCID: PMC6130632 DOI: 10.1080/13880209.2018.1435697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2017] [Revised: 11/02/2017] [Accepted: 01/29/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Euphorbia pekinensis Rupr. (Euphorbiaceae) has long been used in the Orient, while its clinical use was limited due to its nephrotoxic effect. OBJECTIVE The possible mechanism of nephrotoxicity of Euphorbia pekinensis (EPR) and its related constituents were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Petroleum ether (PE), acetic ether (AE) and n-butanol (BUT) extracted sections of EPR were separately given to Wistar rats by gavage at the dose of 3 g/kg/day for 10 weeks to determine the nephrotoxic section of EPR. Then, renal metabolic profiling of EPR after oral administration of nephrotoxic section was investigated and its related constituents were identified by LC/Q-TOF-MS method. RESULTS The average values of creatinine (CREA) in PE, AE, BUT and control groups were 76.54 ± 9.52, 54.12 ± 10.34, 51.33 ± 5.19 and 48.23 ± 6.67 μmol/L. The average values of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in PE, AE, BUT and control groups were 15.25 ± 3.37, 8.32 ± 0.89, 9.22 ± 1.78 and 8.47 ± 1.33 mmol/L, respectively. Only kidney section of rats in PE group showed that glomeruli had cellular or fibrocellular crescents. Renal metabolic profiling showed disturbed metabolic pathways of purine, amino acid, phospholipids and sphingolipids in EPR nephrotoxicity. A total of 25 compounds [(-)-(1S)-15-hydroxy-18-carboxycembrene is a new compound] in PE section and 10 compounds in rat serum after administration of PE section were identified. CONCLUSIONS This is the first time that the toxic compounds of PER and action mechanism of EPR nephrotoxicity were explored to provide a new reference for studying the toxic components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Abstract
Lignans, which are widely distributed in higher plants, represent a vast and rather diverse group of phenylpropane derivatives. They have attracted considerable attention due to their pharmacological activities. Some of the lignans have been developed approved therapeutics, and others are considered as lead structures for new drugs. This article is based on our previous review of lignans discovered in the period 2000-2004, and it provides a comprehensive compilation of the 354 new naturally occurring lignans obtained from 61 plant families between 2005 and 2011. We classified five main types according to their structural features, and provided the details of their sources, some typical structures, and diverse biological activities. A tabular compilation of the novel lignans by species is presented at the end. A total of 144 references were considered for this review.

Abstract
Bidens pilosa L. is a plant producing barbed fruits which, due to its method of seed dispersal, is commonly found during forensic investigations. In Taiwan there are three varieties of the species, radiata, minor and pilosa. Fragments of these three varieties are difficult to differentiate by traditional morphological characteristics and until now little is known of their genetic composition. To discover genetic polymorphisms among these varieties, five loci within the nuclear and chloroplast genomes were screened. A total of 161 specimens were used in this study comprising different geographical populations. Seven samples of Bidens biternata were included as an out-group control. DNA fragments of all samples at the trnL intron and trnL-trnF IGS loci of the chloroplast genome, internal transcribed spacer (ITS1 and ITS2) and the 5.8S of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) were amplified and sequenced. There were 3, 4, 20, 12 and 9 sequence types at these five loci, respectively. The sequence types for any locus of trnL intron, ITS1, ITS2 and 5.8S were found to be useful markers to identify Bidens biternata and B. pilosa. The resulting 84 haplotypes at the 5 loci could differentiate the var. radiata from the varieties of B. pilosa with only the exception of 1 type. The genetic polymorphisms can be used when comparing botanical remains to identify the variety of B. pilosa present at a crime scene.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2007; 110:532-8. [PMID: 17101254 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2006.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2006] [Revised: 08/24/2006] [Accepted: 10/15/2006] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
An extract of Bidens pilosa, an anti-diabetic Asteraceae plant, has recently been reported to modulate T cell differentiation and prevent the development of non-obese diabetes (NOD) in NOD mice. In this paper, a novel bioactive polyacetylenic glucoside, cytopiloyne (1), was identified from the Bidens pilosa extract using ex vivo T cell differentiation assays based on a bioactivity-guided fractionation and isolation procedure. Its structure was elucidated as 2beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy-1-hydroxytrideca-5,7,9,11-tetrayne by various spectroscopic methods. Functional studies showed that cytopiloyne was able to inhibit the differentiation of naïve T helper (Th0) cells into type I T helper (Th1) cells but to promote the differentiation of Th0 cells into type II T helper (Th2) cell. Accordingly, cytopiloyne also suppressed IFN-gamma expression and promoted IL-4 expression in mouse splenocytes ex vivo. These results suggest that cytopiloyne functions as a T cell modulator that may directly contribute to the ethnopharmacological effect of Bidens pilosa extract on preventing diabetes. Moreover, cytopiloyne can serve as an index compound for quality control of lot-to-lot extract preparations of Bidens pilosa.
