Guttiferones: An insight into occurrence, biosynthesis, and their broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. Chem Biol Interact 2023; 370:110313. [PMID: 36566914 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2022.110313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Guttiferones belong to the polyisoprenylated benzophenone, a class of compounds, a very restricted group of natural plant products, especially in the Clusiaceae family. They are commonly found in bark, stem, leaves, and fruits of plants of the genus Garcinia and Symphonia. Guttiferones have the following classifications according to their chemical structure: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T. All of them have received growing attention due to its multiple biological activities. This review provides a first comprehensive approach to plant sources, phytochemical profile, specific pharmacological effects, and mechanisms of guttiferones already described. Studies indicate a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, such as: anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antitumor, antiparasitic, antiviral, and antimicrobial. Despite the low toxicity of these compounds in healthy cells, there is a lack of studies in the literature related to toxicity in general. Given their beneficial effects, guttiferones are expected to be great potential drug candidates for treating cancer and infectious and transmissible diseases. However, further studies are needed to elucidate their toxicity, specific molecular mechanisms and targets, and to perform more in-depth pharmacokinetic studies. This review highlights chemical properties, biological characteristics, and mechanisms of action so far, offering a broad view of the subject and perspectives for the future of guttiferones in therapeutics.

Abstract
Epimedium pubescens is a species of the family Berberidaceae in the basal eudicot lineage, and a main plant source for the traditional Chinese medicine "Herba Epimedii". The current study achieved a chromosome-level genome assembly of E. pubescens with the genome size of 3.34 Gb, and the genome guided discovery of a key prenyltransferase (PT) in E. pubescens. Our comparative genomic analyses confirmed the absence of Whole Genome Triplication (WGT-γ) event shared in core eudicots and further revealed the occurrence of an ancient Whole Genome Duplication (WGD) event approximately between 66 and 81 Million Years Ago (MYA). In addition, whole genome search approach was successfully applied to identify 19 potential flavonoid PT genes and an important flavonoid PT (EpPT8) was proven to be an enzyme for the biosynthesis of medicinal compounds, icaritin and its derivatives in E. pubescens. Therefore, our results not only provide a good reference genome to conduct further molecular biological studies in Epimedium genus, but also give important clues for synthetic biology and industrial production of related prenylated flavonoids in future.

Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Deliver Resveratrol, Restoring Attenuated Dilation in Small Coronary Arteries, via the AMPK Pathway. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9121852.

Abstract
Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are an emerging drug delivery platform for improved drug stability and the bioavailability of antihypertensive drugs and vasoprotective nutraceutical compounds, such as resveratrol (RV). The objective of this study was to ascertain NLCs’ potential to deliver RV and restore attenuated dilator function, using an ex vivo model of acute hypertension. Trimyristin–triolein NLCs were synthesized and loaded with RV. The uptake of RV-NLCs by human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) maintained their viability and reduced both mitochondrial and cytosolic superoxide levels. Acute pressure elevation in isolated coronary arteries significantly attenuated endothelial-dependent dilator responses, which were reversed following incubation in RV-NLCs, superoxide dismutase or apocynin (p < 0.0001). RV-NLCs demonstrated a five-fold increase in potency in comparison to RV solution. At elevated pressure, in the presence of RV-NLCs, incubation with Nω-nitro-l-arginine (L-NNA) or indomethacin resulted in a significant reduction in the restored dilator component (p < 0.0001), whereas apamin and TRAM-34 had no overall effect. Incubation with the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibitor dorsomorphin significantly attenuated dilator responses (p < 0.001), whereas the SIRT-1 inhibitor EX-527 had no effect. RV-NLCs improved the impaired endothelial-dependent dilation of small coronary arteries, following acute pressure elevation, via NO and downstream COX elements, mediated by AMPK. We suggest that RV-NLCs are an effective delivery modality for improved potency and sustained drug release into the vasculature. Our findings have important implications for the future design and implementation of antihypertensive treatment strategies.

NATURAL PRODUCTS AND BIOPROSPECTING 2021; 11:629-641.

Abstract
Polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols represent an important class of natural products found in many plants. Among them, the two related products oblongifolin C (Ob-C) and guttiferone K (Gt-K) isolated from Garcinia species (notably from edible fruits), have attracted attention due to their marked anticancer properties. The two compounds only differ by the nature of the C-6 side chain, prenyl (Gt-K) or geranyl (Ob-C) on the phloroglucinol core. Their origin, method of extraction and biological properties are presented here, with a focus on the targets and pathways implicated in their anticancer activities. Both compounds markedly reduce cancer cell proliferation in vitro, as well as tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. They are both potent inducer of tumor cell apoptosis, and regulation of autophagy flux is a hallmark of their mode of action. The distinct mechanism leading to autophagosome accumulation in cells and the implicated molecular targets are discussed. The specific role of the chaperone protein HSPA8, known to interact with Ob-C, is addressed. Molecular models of Gt-K and Ob-C bound to HSPA8 provide a structural basis to their common HSPA8-binding recognition capacity. The review shed light on the mechanism of action of these compounds, to encourage their studies and potential development.

Abstract
1H NMR-guided fractionation of the petroleum ether extract of the aerial parts from Hypericum hirsutum yielded to the isolation of 19 polyprenylated polycyclic acylphloroglucinols. Structure elucidation based on 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy together with high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy revealed 14 acylphloroglucinols with a homoadamantane scaffold (1: -14: ), while 5 further compounds showed an adamantane skeleton (15: -19: ). Except for hookerione C (15: ), all isolated metabolites are hitherto unknown. While structurally-related metabolites have been isolated from other Hypericum species, it is the first report of admantan and homoadamantan type acylphloroglucinols in section Taeniocarpium Jaub. & Spach (Hypericaceae). The isolated compounds have been tested in a crystal violet-based in vitro assay on their properties to reduce the proliferation of human microvascular endothelial cells compared to hyperforin as the positive control. They showed a moderate reduction of proliferation with IC50 values in the range ~ 3 - 22 µM, with the homoadamantane-based compounds 2: and 4: being the most active. In addition, inhibition of the TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 expression was determined for 1: - 5, 7,: and 10: - 12: . Substances 3: and 12: reduced the ICAM-1 expression significantly (to 46.7% of control for 3: , 62.3% for 12,: at 50 µM).

Targeting MHC Regulation Using Polycyclic Polyprenylated Acylphloroglucinols Isolated from Garcinia bancana. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10091266.

Abstract
Modulation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) expression using drugs has been proposed to control immunity. Phytochemical investigations on Garcinia species have allowed the isolation of bioactive compounds such as polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs). PPAPs such as guttiferone J (1), display anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory activities while garcinol (4) is a histone acetyltransferases (HAT) p300 inhibitor. This study reports on the isolation, identification and biological characterization of two other PPAPs, i.e., xanthochymol (2) and guttiferone F (3) from Garcinia bancana, sharing structural analogy with guttiferone J (1) and garcinol (4). We show that PPAPs 1-4 efficiently downregulated the expression of several MHC molecules (HLA-class I, -class II, MICA/B and HLA-E) at the surface of human primary endothelial cells upon inflammation. Mechanistically, PPAPs 1-4 reduce MHC proteins by decreasing the expression and phosphorylation of the transcription factor STAT1 involved in MHC upregulation mediated by IFN-γ. Loss of STAT1 activity results from inhibition of HAT CBP/p300 activity reflected by a hypoacetylation state. The binding interactions to p300 were confirmed through molecular docking. Loss of STAT1 impairs the expression of CIITA and GATA2 but also TAP1 and Tapasin required for peptide loading and transport of MHC. Overall, we identified new PPAPs issued from Garcinia bancana with potential immunoregulatory properties.

Abstract
Bicyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (BPAPs), the principal bioactive benzophenone products isolated from plants of genera Garcinia and Hypericum, have attracted noticeable attention from the synthetic and biological communities due to their fascinating chemical structures and promising biological activities. However, the potential drug interaction, undesired physiochemical properties and toxicity have limited their potential use and development. In the last decade, pharmaceutical research on the structural modifications, structure-activity relationships (SARs) and mechanisms of action of BPAPs has been greatly developed to overcome the challenges. A comprehensive review of these scientific literature is extremely needed to give an overview of the rapidly emerging area and facilitate research related to BPAPs. This review, containing over 226 references, covers the progress made in the chemical synthesis-based structure modifications, SARs and the mechanism of action of BPAPs in vivo and vitro. The most relevant articles will focus on the discovery of lead compounds via synthetic modifications and the important BPAPs for which the direct targets have been deciphered. From this review, several key points of the SARs and mode of actions of this novel class of compounds have been summarized. The perspective and future direction of the research on BPAPs are concluded. This review would be helpful to get a better grasp of medicinal research of BPAPs and become a compelling guide for chemists dedicated to the synthesis of these compounds.

Abstract
Usually isolated from Garcinia (Clusiaceae) or Hypericum (Hypericaceae) species, some Polycyclic Polyprenylated AcylPhloroglucinols (PPAPs) have been recently reported as potential research tools for immunotherapy. Aiming at exploring the chemodiversity of PPAPs amongst Garcinia genus, a dereplication process suitable for such natural compounds has been developed. Although less sensitive than mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy is perfectly reproducible and allows stereoisomers distinction, justifying the development of 13C-NMR strategies. Dereplication requires the use of databases (DBs). To define if predicted DBs were accurate enough as dereplication tools, experimental and predicted δC of natural products usually isolated from Clusiaceae were compared. The ACD/Labs commercial software allowed to predict 73% of δC in a 1.25 ppm range around the experimental values. Consequently, with these parameters, the major PPAPs from a Garcinia bancana extract were successfully identified using a predicted DB.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the root extracts of Hypericum perforatum led to the isolation of two biphenyl derivatives named hyperbiphenyls A and B (1 and 2) and four known xanthones (3-6). These structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods including UV, NMR, and HRMS. The absolute configuration of the biphenyl derivatives was defined by two different approaches: biomimetic total synthesis of racemic hyperbiphenyl A followed by 1H and 19F NMR Mosher's esters analysis and stereoselective total synthesis of hyperbiphenyl B, permitting assignment of the S absolute configuration for both compounds. The bioactivity of compounds 1-6 toward a set of biomolecules, including major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules expressed on vascular endothelial cells, was measured. The results showed that the major xanthone, i.e., 5- O-methyl-2-deprenylrheediaxanthone B (3), is a potent inhibitor of MHC that efficiently reduces HLA-E, MHC-II, and MICA biomolecules on cell surfaces.
