Sun M, Abdelwahab MF, Zhang J, Samy MN, Mohamed NM, Abdel-Rahman IM, Alsenani F, Abdelmohsen UR, Mahmoud BK. Cytotoxic metabolites from Sinularia levi supported by network pharmacology. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0294311. [PMID: 38319945 PMCID: PMC10846738 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0294311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
The in-vitro anti-proliferative evaluation of Sinularia levi total extract against three cell lines revealed its potent effect against Caco-2 cell line with IC50 3.3 μg/mL, followed by MCF-7 and HepG-2 with IC50 6.4 μg/mL and 8.5 μg/mL, respectively, in comparison to doxorubicin. Metabolic profiling of S. levi total extract using liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-HR-ESI-MS) revealed the presence of phytoconstituents clusters consisting mainly of steroids and terpenoids (1-20), together with five metabolites 21-25, which were additionally isolated and identified through the phytochemical investigation of S. levi total extract through various chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. The isolated metabolites included one sesquiterpene, two steroids and two diterpenes, among which compounds prostantherol (21) and 12-hydroperoxylsarcoph-10-ene (25) were reported for the first time in Sinularia genus. The cytotoxic potential evaluation of the isolated compounds revealed variable cytotoxic effects against the three tested cell lines. Compound 25 was the most potent with IC50 value of 2.13 ± 0.09, 3.54 ± 0.07 and 5.67 ± 0.08 μg/mL against HepG-2, MCF-7 and Caco-2, respectively, followed by gorgosterol (23) and sarcophine (24). Additionally, network analysis showed that cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) was encountered in the mechanism of action of the three cancer types. Molecular docking analysis revealed that CDK1 inhibition could possibly be the reason for the cytotoxic potential.

Cytotoxic Compounds from Alcyoniidae: An Overview of the Last 30 Years. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:134. [PMID: 35200663 PMCID: PMC8874409 DOI: 10.3390/md20020134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The octocoral family Alcyoniidae represents a rich source of bioactive substances with intriguing and unique structural features. This review aims to provide an updated overview of the compounds isolated from Alcyoniidae and displaying potential cytotoxic activity. In order to allow a better comparison among the bioactive compounds, we focused on molecules evaluated in vitro by using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, by far the most widely used method to analyze cell proliferation and viability. Specifically, we surveyed the last thirty years of research, finding 153 papers reporting on 344 compounds with proven cytotoxicity. The data were organized in tables to provide a ranking of the most active compounds, to be exploited for the selection of the most promising candidates for further screening and pre-clinical evaluation as anti-cancer agents. Specifically, we found that (22S,24S)-24-methyl-22,25-epoxyfurost-5-ene-3β,20β-diol (16), 3β,11-dihydroxy-24-methylene-9,11-secocholestan-5-en-9-one (23), (24S)-ergostane-3β,5α,6β,25 tetraol (146), sinulerectadione (227), sinulerectol C (229), and cladieunicellin I (277) exhibited stronger cytotoxicity than their respective positive control and that their mechanism of action has not yet been further investigated.

Abstract
This review covers the literature published between January and December in 2018 for marine natural products (MNPs), with 717 citations (706 for the period January to December 2018) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, mangroves and other intertidal plants and microorganisms. The emphasis is on new compounds (1554 in 469 papers for 2018), together with the relevant biological activities, source organisms and country of origin. Reviews, biosynthetic studies, first syntheses, and syntheses that led to the revision of structures or stereochemistries, have been included. The proportion of MNPs assigned absolute configuration over the last decade is also surveyed.

Abstract
This review covers recent literature from 2012-2019 concerning 170 marine natural products and their semisynthetic analogues with strong anticancer biological activities. Reports that shed light on cellular and molecular mechanisms and biological functions of these compounds, thus advancing the understanding in cancer biology are also included. Biosynthetic studies and total syntheses, which have provided access to derivatives and have contributed to the proper structure or stereochemistry elucidation or revision are mentioned. The natural compounds isolated from marine organisms are divided into nine groups, namely: alkaloids, sterols and steroids, glycosides, terpenes and terpenoids, macrolides, polypeptides, quinones, phenols and polyphenols, and miscellaneous products. An emphasis is placed on several drugs originating from marine natural products that have already been marketed or are currently in clinical trials.
