Gas chromatographic techniques and spectroscopic approaches for a deep characterization of Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth essential oil from Brazil. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1732:465208. [PMID: 39088897 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth essential oil (EO) is a natural source of bioactive components, having multiple therapeutic applications. Its chemical composition is highly variable, and strictly depends on abiotic factors, resulting in various biological activities. The present study details the utilization of multiple gas chromatographic techniques alongside nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to characterize the essential oil of Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth from Brazil. Seventy-six components were identified using GC-MS analysis, while enantio‑selective multidimensional gas chromatography elucidated the enantiomeric distribution of eight chiral components, for the first time in the literature. Following GC-MS analysis, an unidentified component, constituting approximately 27 % of the total oil, prompted an isolation step through preparative gas chromatography. Through the combined use of nuclear magnetic resonance, GC-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and mass spectrometry (MS), the unknown molecule was structurally identified as 4-[(3E)‑dec-3-en-1-yl]phenol. Remarkably, it was identified as a known molecule, gibbilimbol B, and not previously listed in any MS database. Subsequently, the spectrum was included in a commercial library, specifically the FFNSC 4.0 MS database, for the first time.

In Silico and In Vitro Evaluation of the Antifungal Activity of a New Chromone Derivative against Candida spp. BIOTECH 2024; 13:16. [PMID: 38921048 PMCID: PMC11201913 DOI: 10.3390/biotech13020016] [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: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Candida species are frequently implicated in the development of both superficial and invasive fungal infections, which can impact vital organs. In the quest for novel strategies to combat fungal infections, there has been growing interest in exploring synthetic and semi-synthetic products, particularly chromone derivatives, renowned for their antimicrobial properties. In the analysis of the antifungal activity of the compound (E)-benzylidene-chroman-4-one against Candida, in silico and laboratory tests were performed to predict possible mechanisms of action pathways, and in vitro tests were performed to determine antifungal activity (MIC and MFC), to verify potential modes of action on the fungal cell membrane and wall, and to assess cytotoxicity in human keratinocytes. The tested compound exhibited predicted affinity for all fungal targets, with the highest predicted affinity observed for thymidylate synthase (-102.589 kJ/mol). MIC and CFM values ranged from 264.52 μM (62.5 μg/mL) to 4232.44 μM (1000 μg/mL). The antifungal effect likely occurs due to the action of the compound on the plasma membrane. Therefore, (E)-benzylidene-chroman-4-one showed fungicidal-like activity against Candida spp., possibly targeting the plasma membrane.

Chemical composition of Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth essential oil and evaluation of its antimicrobial and modulatory effects on antibiotic resistance, antibiofilm, and cell dimorphism inhibitory activities. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:255.

Abstract
Essential oils extracted from many plant species have different biological activities, among which microbial activity stands out. Species of the genus Piper have antimicrobial potential against different species of bacteria and fungi. In this sense, the present study aimed to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil from the leaves of Piper gaudichaudianum (EOPG), as well as to investigate their antimicrobial activity and their modulatory effect on the Norfloxacin resistance in the Staphylococcus aureus SA1199B strain overproducer of the NorA efflux pump. Furthermore, their inhibitory activities on the biofilm formation as well as on the cellular differentiation of C. albicans were evaluated. Gas chromatography analysis identified 24 compounds, such as hydrocarbon sesquiterpenes (54.8%) and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (28.5%). To investigate the antimicrobial potential of EOPG against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans, a microdilution assay was performed, and no intrinsic antimicrobial activity was observed. On the other hand, the oil potentiated the activity of Norfloxacin against the SA1199B strain, indicating that EOPG could be used in association with Norfloxacin against S. aureus strains resistant to this antibiotic. EOPG also inhibited S. aureus biofilm formation, as evidenced by the crystal violet assay. In the dimorphism assay, EOPG was able to inhibit the cell differentiation process in C. albicans. Results indicate that EOPG could be used in association with Norfloxacin in the treatment of infections caused by resistant S. aureus strains overproducing the NorA efflux pump. Furthermore, its ability to inhibit the formation of hyphae by C. albicans suggests that EOPG could also be applied in the prevention and/or treatment of fungal infections.

Advanced Chemophenetic Analysis of Essential Oil from Leaves of Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth (Piperaceae) Using a New Reduction-Oxidation Index to Explore Seasonal and Circadian Rhythms. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10102116. [PMID: 34685925 PMCID: PMC8540104 DOI: 10.3390/plants10102116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Revised: 09/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The aromatic species Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth (Piperaceae) is widely used in Brazil for medicinal and ritualistic applications. In the current study, chemophenetic patterns were realized across season and circadian rhythm based on the chemical profile of essential oils (EOs) from leaves. Hydrodistilled essential oils were analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID, and a new calculation of metabolite oxidation level, averaged for each individual molecule component of the EO, was used to explore the patterns of metabolism/biosynthesis. This new index used an intermediate calculation, the 'weighted average redox standard' (SRO), to enable a value for mixtures of metabolites to be generated, the 'general mixture redox index' (GMOR). The indices were subjected to a proof-of-concept approach by making comparison to outcomes from multivariate analyses, i.e., PCA and HCA. Chemical analysis demonstrated that the essential oils were dominated by sesquiterpenes, constructed of 15 classes of compound (C-skeletons), and 4 C-skeletons were recognized in the monoterpene group, giving a total of 19. The variation of chemical profiles was distinct at different phenological stages, but stronger chemical variation was evident between day and night as compared to season. Furthermore, due to comprehensive sampling across different regions, nine chemotypes were recognized, including those previously reported. The SRO and GMRO indices demonstrate that phenological variation of chemistry is mainly an outcome of redox fluctuations in terpene biosynthesis, changing from day to night. These indices also corroborate that chemical diversity is increased with oxidative metabolism. Lastly, the current study demonstrates pronounced phenotypic plasticity in P. gaudichaudianum, which makes it a suitable candidate to help further our understanding of chemophenetics and chemical ecology.

Abstract
Chagas disease is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, and in Central America, it is considered one of the four most infectious diseases. This study aimed to screen the anti-trypanosomal activity of plant species from Salvadoran flora. Plants were selected through literature search for plants ethnobotanically used for antiparasitic and Chagas disease symptomatology, and reported in Museo de Historia Natural de El Salvador (MUHNES) database. T. cruzi was incubated for 72 h with 2 different concentrations of methanolic extracts of 38 species, among which four species, Piper jacquemontianum, Piper lacunosum, Trichilia havanensis, and Peperomia pseudopereskiifolia, showed the activity (≤ 52.0% viability) at 100 µg/mL. Separation of the methanolic extract of aerial parts from Piper jacquemontianum afforded a new flavanone (4) and four known compounds, 2,2-dimethyl-6-carboxymethoxychroman-4-one (1), 2,2-dimethyl-6-carboxychroman-4-one (2), cardamomin (3), and pinocembrin (5), among which cardamomin exhibited the highest anti-trypanosomal activity (IC50 = 66 µM). Detailed analyses of the spectral data revealed that the new compound 4, named as jaqueflavanone A, was a derivative of pinocembrin having a prenylated benzoate moiety at the 8-position of the A ring.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the chemical profile and to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the essential oils of Piper species and modulation of the antibiotic activity, using the microdilution method to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration. The chemical components were characterized by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, which revealed β-copaen-4-α-ol (31.38%), spathulenol (25.92%), and germacrene B (21.53%) as major constituents of the essential oils of Piper arboreum, Piper aduncum, and Piper gaudichaudianum, respectively. The essential oils analyzed in this study did not present a clinically relevant activity against standard and multiresistant Escherichia coli. However, in the case of multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus, there was a significant activity, corroborating with reports in the literature, where Gram-positive bacteria are more susceptible to antimicrobial activity. The essential oils modulated the effect of the antibiotics norfloxacin and gentamicin, having on the latter greater modulating effect; however, for erythromycin, no statistically significant effect was observed. In conclusion, the results obtained in this study demonstrated that the essential oils of the analyzed Piper species present an inhibitory effect against S. aureus and modulate antibiotic activity, most of which presents synergistic activity.

Effect of the essential oils from Piper sp. and blue led lights in the enhancement of the antibiotic activity of drugs against mdr bacterial strains. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2019; 199:111604. [PMID: 31473430 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2019.111604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2019] [Revised: 05/20/2019] [Accepted: 08/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has made bacterial resistance an important public health problem, since many antibiotics have become ineffective. Phototherapy can be considered an alternative to reduce the abusive use of antimicrobials, thus impacting microbial resistance. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical profile and to evaluate the effect of blue LED lights on the antibacterial activity of essential oils from Piper species, as well as their aminoglycoside antibiotic activity modulation using the microdilution method to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). The antibiotic activity modulating effect of these oils was also determined using the broth microdilution method with 96-well plates which were exposed to LED light for 20 min. Chemical components were characterized by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, revealing β-copaen-4-α-ol, germacrene A and germacrene B as major essential oil constituents for Piper arboreum (OEPar), Piper aduncum (OEPad) and Piper gaudichaudianum (OEPg), respectively. OEPar obtained a MIC of 512 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and a MIC ≥ 1024 μg/mL against Escherichia coli. OEPad and OEPg showed MIC values ≥ 1024 μg/mL against the utilized strains. The essential oils modulated the effect of the antibiotics amikacin and gentamicin, with this effect being potentiated when exposed to blue LED. The blue LED light in the absence of the essential oil also showed an ability to modulate aminoglycoside antibiotic activity in this study, presenting mostly synergistic effects. In conclusion, the results obtained in this study demonstrate that photodynamic therapy using blue LED light interferes with the antibacterial action of P. arboreum, P. aduncum and P. gaudichaudianum essential oils and aminoglycoside antibiotic activity.
