Bioactivities and Mechanisms of Action of Diphyllin and Its Derivatives: A Comprehensive Systematic Review. Molecules 2023; 28:7874. [PMID: 38067601 PMCID: PMC10707837 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28237874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Natural products are treasure houses for modern drug discovery. Diphyllin is a natural arylnaphthalene lignan lactone isolated from the leaf of Astilboides tabularis. Studies have found that it possesses plenty of bioactivity characteristics. In this paper, we reviewed the structure, bioactivity, and mechanism of action of diphyllin and its derivatives. The references were obtained from PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases up to August 2023. Papers without a bio-evaluation were excluded. Diphyllin and its derivatives have demonstrated V-ATPase inhibition, anti-tumor, anti-virus, anti-biofilm, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant activities. The most studied activities of diphyllin and its derivatives are V-ATPase inhibition, anti-tumor activities, and anti-virus activities. Furthermore, V-ATPase inhibition activity is the mechanism of many bioactivities, including anti-tumor, anti-virus, and anti-inflammatory activities. We also found that the galactosylated modification of diphyllin is a common phenomenon in plants, and therefore, galactosylated modification is applied by researchers in the laboratory to obtain more excellent diphyllin derivatives. This review will provide useful information for the development of diphyllin-based anti-tumor and anti-virus compounds.

Abstract
Background and purpose Considering various studies implying anticancer activity of the hydrazone and oxamide derivatives through different mechanisms such as kinases and calpain inhibition, herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of the antiproliferative effect of a series of hydrazones bearing oxamide moiety compounds (7a-7n) against a panel of cancer cell lines to explore a novel and promising anticancer agent (7k). Experimental approach Chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and mass spectra. The antiproliferative activity and cell cycle progression of the target compound were investigated using the MTT assay and flow cytometry. Findings/Results Compound 7k with 2-hydroxybenzylidene structure was found to have a significant in vitro anti-proliferative influence on MDA-MB-231 (human adenocarcinoma breast cancer) and 4T1 (mouse mammary tumor) cells as the model of triple-negative breast cancer, with the IC50-72h values of 7.73 ± 1.05 and 1.82 ± 1.14 μM, respectively. Following 72-h incubation with compound 7k, it caused MDA-MB-231 cell death through G1/S cell cycle arrest at high concentrations (12 and 16 μM). Conclusion and implications Conclusively, this study for the first time reports the anti-proliferative efficacy of compound 7k possessing 2-hydroxyphenyl moiety, which may serve as a potent candidate in triple-negative breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
In this work four vanadium complexes (compounds 1, 2, 3 and 4) and one molybdenum complex (compound 5) with hydrazone ligands derived from pyridoxal were synthesized and characterized. All compounds are mononuclear species, two of them (compounds 3 and 5) are dioxide complexes and the other three (compounds 1, 2 and 4) monoxide complexes. The vanadium atom of the compound 3 is five-coordinated and all the other compounds have a six coordinated environment polyhedron. The poses for the potential intercalation of the compounds 2 and 3 with DNA were obtained by using AutoDock software. Optimizations were also performed at PM6-D3H4 semi-empirical level whereas the study of the nature of the interaction was carried out by means of the Energy Decomposition Analysis and the Non-Covalent Interaction index by using in both cases Density Functional Theory computations. The cytotoxicity in lung cancer cells (A549 cell line) of all the compounds was also evaluated. After 24 h of treatment, vanadium complexes showed high values of IC50, between 419.93 ± 22.58 and 685.88 ± 46.55 μM. After 48 h, the results showed that the compound 3 had the lowest IC50 value, 65.32 ± 9.95 μM, and the compound 2 the highest value, 375.28 ± 32.09 μM. The molybdenum complex showed the lowest IC50 value at 48 h (11.22 ± 1.34 μM). The toxicity of the compounds 3, 4 and 5 was tested in vivo, using zebrafish model, and the molybdenum complex showed higher toxic effects than the studied vanadium complexes.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin cancers, having a very high mortality rate. However, its effective treatment is not clear. Ampelopsin, a plant flavonoid, has been reported to inhibit cell growth and/or induce apoptosis in various types of tumor. In this study, it was shown that ampelopsin significantly inhibits melanoma A375 cell line proliferation in a concentration-dependent/time-dependent manner. The flow cytometric data clearly demonstrated that ampelopsin causes cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. Moreover, it also confirmed that growth inhibition mediated by treatment with ampelopsin is related to the decreased expression of Cdc2, Cdc25c, cyclin B1, and activation of caspase-3 and Bax, purportedly by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), extracellular regulated protein kinases, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) downregulation. As a result of this work, these findings suggest that ampelopsin inhibits human malignant melanoma A375 cell line proliferation by suppressing the EGFR/ERK/MMP-2 pathway.

Abstract
The process of programmed cell death in higher eukaryotes (apoptosis), is generally characterized by distinct morphological characteristics and energy-dependent biochemical mechanisms. Apoptosis is considered as a vital component of various processes including normal cell turnover, proper development and functioning of the immune system, hormone-dependent atrophy, embryonic development and chemical-induced cell death. Apoptosis seems to play an important key role in the progression of several human diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and many types of cancer. Promotion of apoptosis may be a good approach for the prevention of cancer cell proliferation. In early studies, antitumor compounds have been found to induce the apoptotic process in tumor cells. On the other hand, several hydrazones were reported to have lower toxicity than hydrazides due to the blockage of -NH2 group. Therefore, the design of hydrazones that activate and promote apoptosis is an attractive strategy for the discovery and development of potential anticancer agents. The aim of this review is to provide a general overview of current knowledge and the connection between apoptosis and hydrazone. It is also the guide for the apoptotic activities of new hydrazone derivatives.

Abstract
![]()
Cascade radical cyclization of 1,6-enynes
for the construction
of biologically important polycyclic γ-lactams and related heterocycles
is reported. In these radical cascade processes, three new C–C
bonds are formed and transition metals are not required to run these
sequences. The mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, and
the importance of the heterocyclic products render the approach valuable.

Abstract
Tolmetin hydrazide and a novel series of tolmetin hydrazide-hydrazones 4a-l were synthesized in this study. The structures of the new compounds were determined by spectral (FT-IR, (1)H NMR) methods. N'-[(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)methylidene]-2-[1-methyl-5-(4-methylbenzoyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]acetohydrazide (4g) was evaluated in vitro using the MTT colorimetric method against the colon cancer cell lines HCT-116 (ATCC, CCL-247) and HT-29 (ATCC, HTB-38) to determine growth inhibition and cell viability at different doses. Compound 4g exhibited anti-cancer activity with an IC50 value of 76 μM against colon cancer line HT-29 (ATCC, HTB-38) and did not display cytotoxicity toward control NIH3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells compared to tolmetin. In addition, this compound was evaluated for caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and annexin-V activation in the apoptotic pathway, which plays a key role in the treatment of cancer. We demonstrated that the anti-cancer activity of this compound was due to the activation of caspase-8 and caspase-9 involved in the apoptotic pathway. In addition, in this study, we investigated the catalytical effect of COX on the HT-29 cancer line, the apoptotic mechanism, and the moleculer binding of tolmetin and compound 4g on the COX enzyme active site.

Abstract
We report the design and synthesis of novel anticancer agents based on bis-hydrazones separated by a rigid Tröger's base skeleton. This novel approach combines a biologically active moiety (hydrazone) with this scaffold (Tröger's base) to construct DNA intercalators. Evaluation of the anticancer activity of these agents using seven cancer cell lines and two healthy cell lines found that several derivatives had potent anticancer activity and excellent selectivity indexes toward cancer cells. The antimicrobial activities were tested on a set of thirteen bacterial stains, but the prepared compounds were not active. Complexation studies using biologically important metal ions demonstrated that these compounds are able to bind Cu(2+), Fe(3+), Co(2+), Ni(2+) and Zn(2+). DNA intercalation studies showed that the compounds themselves do not interact with DNA, but their metallocomplexes do interact, most likely via intercalation into DNA.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel glycosylated diphyllin derivatives as topoisomerase II inhibitors. Eur J Med Chem 2011; 47:424-31. [PMID: 22119124 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2011.11.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2011] [Revised: 11/03/2011] [Accepted: 11/04/2011] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Recently, a novel glycosylated diphyllin derivative 11 which exhibiting potent anticancer activity by targeting topoisomerase IIα was reported by our group. In order to provide more molecules for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, 12 new glycosylated diphyllin analogs have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their biological activities. The SAR analysis revealed that (i) the sugar moiety on the diphyllin is essential for the anticancer activity; (ii) equatorial C4'-OH on the sugar is superior to the axial one, and (iii) a proper cyclic lipophilic group at the C4' and C6' of sugar might enhance the anticancer activity.

Synthesis and in vitro cytotoxic activity of novel pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and related pyrazole hydrazones toward breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cell line. Bioorg Med Chem 2011; 19:6808-17. [PMID: 22000322 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2011.09.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 60] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2011] [Revised: 09/12/2011] [Accepted: 09/20/2011] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
New series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (7a-e and 13a-d) and pyrazole hydrazones 17a-d were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cell line. Most of the tested compounds exploited potent to moderate growth inhibitory activity, in particular compound 7e exhibited superior potency to the reference drug cisplatin (IC(50)=7.60 and 13.29 μM, respectively). The antitumor activity of the new compounds was accompanied by significant increase in the activity of superoxide dismutase with concomitant decrease in the activities of catalase and glutathione peroxidase and reduced glutathione level. Accordingly, the overproduction of hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide and other free radicals allowed reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated tumor cells death, as monitored by reduction in the synthesis of protein and nucleic acids.
