Abstract
Sesquiterpene lactone trilobolide is a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) inhibitor, thus depleting the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive intracellular calcium stores. Here, we describe a synthesis of a series of 6 trilobolide-steroids conjugates (estradiol, pregnene, dehydroepiandrosterone, and testosterone). We found that the newly synthesized Tb-based compounds possess different remarkable biological activities. Cancer cell cytotoxicity and preferential selectivity is represented in our study by a Tb-pregnene derivative. The most cytotoxic clickates of estradiol and pregnene were studied by FACS where impact on cell cycle and RNA synthesis was observed; live-cell microscopy revealed the impact on cell organelle morphology particularly endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and nucleus. Further, we have studied the estrogenic and androgenic properties of the clickate molecules using cell-based luciferase assays. Finally, antimycobacterial tests revealed that testosterone and estradiol derivatives potentiated the antimycobacterial activity up to IC50 of 10.6μM.

Assessment of cell cycle phase-specific effects of zerumbone on mitotically synchronous surface cultures of Physarum polycephalum. PROTOPLASMA 2014; 251:931-941.

Abstract
Zerumbone, a natural cyclic sesquiterpene, has been the focus of recent research as it has been found to exhibit selective toxicity towards cancer cells compared to normal cells. Studies on the cell cycle phase-specific effects of this interesting compound, however, remain sparse. Hence, concentration and time-dependent effects of zerumbone were evaluated employing a suitable model system, the naturally synchronous surface cultures of Physarum polycephalum. Zerumbone treatment in S, early, and late G2 phases resulted in G2 arrest. Early G2 phase exhibited the highest sensitivity (P < 0.001) to the compound. Protein profiles showed a complete inhibition of cyclin B1 expression following zerumbone treatment. Furthermore, FACS and comet analysis revealed that zerumbone inhibited DNA synthesis (P < 0.001) without being genotoxic at the concentrations tested. Differential display of mRNA showed distinct zerumbone-induced variations in transcript profiles, an analysis of which suggested a likely link between cellular networks involving stress-related gene expression and G2 arrest in P. polycephalum.

Abstract
Zingiber zerumbet contained the typically essential oils. The research aims to evaluate the effect Z. zerumbet essential oil and zerumbone inhlation on rats body weight, food consumption, parasympathetic nerve activity and brown adipose tissue temperature. The essential oils of Z. zerumbet was isolated from the rhizome of Z. zerumbet. The component in the oil and zerumbone structure was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. The structure of zerumbone crystal was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The Sprague dawley male adult rats were divided into 4 groups namely Normal Diet (ND) group, High Fat Diet (HFD) group, HFD inhaled Z. zerumbet essential oils group and HFD inhaled zerumbone group. The results showed that inhalation of Z. zerumbet essential oils and zerumbone increased the food consumption as well as increased the body weight. The increasing body weight of rats which inhaled Z. zerumbet essential oils and zerumbone is by decreasing the sympathetic nerve activity. In conclusion, inhaling Z. zerumbet essential oils and zerumbone as the major component of the oils increased the weight gain.
