Abstract
The aim of this study was to screen sixteen meso-1 semi-synthetic derivatives bearing ether, esther, carbamate, phosphate or aminoether functional groups against five cancer cell lines: MCF-7 (breast), A549 (lung), HepG2 (liver), HeLa (cervix), and DU145 (prostate) at 25 μM using the MTT assay. Results from the screening showed that two derivatives had the lowest percentage of cell viability at 25 μM, the aminoether derivative meso-11 and the esther derivative meso-20 against A549 (44.15±0.78 %) and MCF-7 (41.60±0.92 %), respectively. Then, it was determined the IC50 value of each compound against their most sensitive cancer cell line. Results showed that aminoether derivative meso-11 showed potent cytotoxicity against A549 (IC50 =17.11±2.11 μM), whereas it resulted more cytotoxic against the LL-47 lung normal cell line (IC50 =9.49±1.19 μM) having a Selective Index (SI) of 0.55. On the other hand, the esther derivative meso-20 exhibited potent activity against MCF-7 (IC50 =18.20±1.98 μM), whereas it displayed moderate cytotoxicity against the MCF-10 breast normal cell line (IC50 =41.22±2.17 μM) with a SI of 2.2. Finally, studies on the mechanism of action of meso-20 indicated disruption of MCF-7 plasma membrane in vitro and the AMPK activation in silico.

Abstract
Obesity causes systemic inflammation, hepatic and renal damage, as well as gut microbiota dysbiosis. Alternative vegetable sources rich in polyphenols are known to prevent or delay the progression of metabolic abnormalities during obesity. Vachellia farnesiana (VF) is a potent source of polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities with potential anti-obesity effects. We performed an in vivo preventive or an interventional experimental study in mice and in vitro experiments with different cell types. In the preventive study, male C57BL/6 mice were fed with a Control diet, a high-fat diet, or a high-fat diet containing either 0.1% methyl gallate, 10% powdered VFP, or 0.5%, 1%, or 2% of a polyphenolic extract (PE) derived from VFP (Vachellia farnesiana pods) for 14 weeks. In the intervention study, two groups of mice were fed for 14 weeks with a high-fat diet and then one switched to a high-fat diet with 10% powdered VFP for ten additional weeks. In the in vitro studies, we evaluated the effect of a VFPE (Vachellia farnesiana polyphenolic extract) on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in INS-1E cells or of naringenin or methyl gallate on mitochondrial activity in primary hepatocytes and C2C12 myotubes. VFP or a VFPE increased whole-body energy expenditure and mitochondrial activity in skeletal muscle; prevented insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, and kidney damage; exerted immunomodulatory effects; and reshaped fecal gut microbiota composition in mice fed a high-fat diet. VFPE decreased insulin secretion in INS-1E cells, and its isolated compounds naringenin and methyl gallate increased mitochondrial activity in primary hepatocytes and C2C12 myotubes. In conclusion VFP or a VFPE prevented systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, and hepatic and renal damage in mice fed a high-fat diet associated with increased energy expenditure, improved mitochondrial function, and reduction in insulin secretion.

Abstract
Cancer is an increasingly common disease and is considered one of the main causes of death in the world. Lophocereus schottii (L. schottii) is a cactus used in Mexico in traditional medicine for cancer treatment. This study aimed to determine the effect of the ethanolic extract and the polar and nonpolar fractions of L. schottii in murine L5178Y lymphoma cells in vitro, analyzing their effect on the proliferative activity of splenocytes, and establishing the effective concentration 50 (EC50) of the polar fraction. In addition, the secondary metabolites present in the extracts were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). The study establishes that the three extracts of L. schottii have a cytotoxic effect on L5178Y cells and on the splenocytes stimulated with ConA. Additionally, the polar fraction has a significantly greater effect being three times more effective than cyclophosphamide on inhibiting the viability of L5178Y cells. Secondary metabolites present are mainly flavonoids and alkaloids, but there are also some terpenoids and sterols. Ultimately, polar fraction can be considered an anticancer substance, since its EC50 of 15 μg/mL is within the parameters established by the National Cancer Institute.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allium sativum L., or garlic, is one of the most studied plants worldwide within the field of traditional medicine. Current interests lie in the potential use of garlic as a preventive measure and adjuvant treatment for viral infections, e.g., SARS-CoV-2. Even though it cannot be presented as a single treatment, its beneficial effects are beyond doubt. The World Health Organization has deemed it an essential part of any balanced diet with immunomodulatory properties. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to review the literature on the effects of garlic compounds and preparations on immunomodulation and viral infection management, with emphasis on SARS-CoV-2. METHOD Exhaustive literature search has been carried out on electronic databases. CONCLUSION Garlic is a fundamental part of a well-balanced diet which helps maintain general good health. The reported information regarding garlic's ability to beneficially modulate inflammation and the immune system is encouraging. Nonetheless, more efforts must be made to understand the actual medicinal properties and mechanisms of action of the compounds found in this plant to inhibit or diminish viral infections, particularly SARS-CoV-2. Based on our findings, we propose a series of innovative strategies to achieve such a challenge in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Larrea tridentata is a dominant shrub in the deserts of North America and is recognized for its various traditional uses. More than 50 traditional uses have been recorded. Regarding its chemical composition, the products of the mevalonate, shikimate, and malonate pathways are predominant. L. tridentata has nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), one of its most studied secondary metabolites that exhibited remarkable different biological activities: sequestration of reactive oxygen species, inhibition of lipoxygenases (LOX) and activation of the endogenous antioxidant response mediated by nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). OBJECTIVE AND METHODS This review seeks to draw attention to metabolites other than NDGA and which also contribute to the various biological activities of L. tridentata. Therefore, the present review includes those reports focused on the pharmacological properties of the organic extracts of L. tridentata and its natural products with promising values. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Among the most promising and widely reported metabolites from L. tridentata, are: 3'-demethoxy-6-O-demethylisoguaiacin, 3'-O-methylnordihydroguiaretic acid, meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid, and tetra-O-methylnorhydroguiaretic acid. These have been reported to exhibit antibacterial, antiprotozoal, anthelmintic, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, and antioxidant activities.

Abstract
The developing of antibacterial resistance is becoming in crisis. In this sense, natural products play a fundamental role in the discovery of antibacterial agents with diverse mechanisms of action. Phytochemical investigation of Cissus incisa leaves led to isolation and characterization of the ceramides mixture (1): (8E)-2-(tritriacont-9-enoyl amino)-1,3,4-octadecanetriol-8-ene (1-I); (8E)-2-(2',3'-dihydroxyoctacosanoyl amino)-1,3,4-octadecanetriol-8-ene (1-II); (8E)-2-(2'-hydroxyheptacosanoyl amino)-1,3,4-octadecanetriol-8-ene (1-III); and (8E)-2-(-2'-hydroxynonacosanoyl amino)-1,3,4-octadecanetriol-8-ene (1-IV). Until now, this is the first report of the ceramides (1-I), (1-II), and (1-IV). The structures were elucidated using NMR and mass spectrometry analyses. Antibacterial activity of ceramides (1) and acetylated derivates (2) was evaluated against nine multidrug-resistant bacteria by Microdilution method. (1) showed the best results against Gram-negatives, mainly against carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii with MIC = 50 μg/mL. Structure-activity analysis and molecular docking revealed interactions between plant ceramides with membrane proteins, and enzymes associated with biological membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, through hydrogen bonding of functional groups. Vesicular contents release assay showed the capacity of (1) to disturb membrane permeability detected by an increase of fluorescence probe over time. The membrane disruption is not caused for ceramides lytic action on cell membranes, according in vitro hemolyticactivity results. Combining SAR analysis, bioinformatics and biophysical techniques, and also experimental tests, it was possible to explain the antibacterial action of these natural ceramides.

Abstract
Cissus incisa is used in traditional Mexican medicine to treat certain ailments, infectious or cancerous diseases. Excepting for our previous research, this species had no scientific reports validating its traditional use. In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial and cytotoxic properties of the sphingolipids and others phytocompounds isolated from C. incisa leaves to increase the scientific knowledge of the Mexican flora. The antibacterial activity was evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by the Microdilution method. Meanwhile, the cytotoxic potential was determined on six human cancer cells: PC3, Hep3B, HepG2, MCF7, A549, and HeLa; using an aqueous solution cell proliferation assay kit. A cell line of immortalized human hepatocytes (IHH) was included as a control of non-cancerous cells. Selectivity index (SI) was determined only against the hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. The phytochemical investigation of C. incisa leaves resulted in the isolation and characterization of five compounds: 2-(2′-hydroxydecanoyl amino)-1,3,4-hexadecanotriol-8-ene (1), 2,3-dihydroxypropyl tetracosanoate (2), β-sitosterol-D-glucopyranoside (3), α-amyrin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), and a mixture of cerebrosides (5). Until now, this is the first report of the sphingolipids (1), (5-IV) and (5-V). Only the compound (4) and cerebrosides (5) exhibited antibacterial activity reaching a MIC value of 100 μg/mL against Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to carbapenems. While, the acetylated derivate of (3), compound (3Ac) showed the best cytotoxic result against PC3 (IC50 = 43 ± 4 μg/mL) and Hep3B (IC50 = 49.0 ± 4 μg/mL) cancer cell lines. Likewise, (3Ac) achieved better SI values on HepG2 and Hep3B cell lines. This research reveals the importance of study medicinal plants, to identify bioactive molecules as sources of potential drugs. The presence of these compounds allows us to justify the use of this plant in traditional Mexican medicine.

Abstract
Hechtia glomerata, a Mexican medicinal plant employed against bacterial infections and as food, is taxonomically related to the genus Tillandsia which has anticancer activity. Organic and aqueous extracts of H. glomerata leaves were prepared and tested for cytotoxic and antibacterial activity. UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis determined the chemical composition of active extracts to find cytotoxic and antibacterial compounds. Hexane extract was cytotoxic against HepG2, Hep3B and MCF7 (IC50: 24-28 µg/mL), whereas CHCl3/MeOH extract against PC3 and MCF7 (IC50: 25 and 32 µg/mL). CHCl3/MeOH extract showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecium (MIC: 125 and 62.5 µg/mL). Hexane extract cytotoxic compounds were β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, phytol and ursolic acid. CHCl3/MeOH extract antibacterial and/or cytotoxic compounds were daucosterol, oleanolic acid, resveratrol, quercetin, kaempferol, apigenin, cyanidin, p-coumaric acid and caffeic acid. This plant could be useful against bacterial infections and cancer. However, in vivo studies are needed to determine its toxicity and therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Predicting the activity of new chemical compounds over pathogenic microorganisms with different metabolic reaction networks (MRN s) is an important goal due to the different susceptibility to antibiotics. The ChEMBL database contains >160 000 outcomes of preclinical assays of antimicrobial activity for 55 931 compounds with >365 parameters of activity (MIC, IC50, etc.) and >90 bacteria strains of >25 bacterial species. In addition, the Leong and Barabàsi data set includes >40 MRNs of microorganisms. However, there are no models able to predict antibacterial activity for multiple assays considering both drug and MRN structures at the same time. In this work, we combined perturbation theory, machine learning, and information fusion techniques to develop the first PTMLIF model. The best linear model found presented values of specificity = 90.31/90.40 and sensitivity = 88.14/88.07 in training/validation series. We carried out a comparison to nonlinear artificial neural network (ANN) techniques and previous models from the literature. Next, we illustrated the practical use of the model with an experimental case of study. We reported for the first time the isolation and characterization of terpenes from the plant Cissus incisa. The antibacterial activity of the terpenes was experimentally determined. The more active compounds were phytol and α-amyrin, with MIC = 100 μg/mL for Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to carbapenems. These compounds are already known from other sources. However, they have been isolated and evaluated for the first time here against several strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria including World Health Organization (WHO) priority pathogens. Last, we used the model to predict the activity of these compounds versus other microorganisms with different MRNs in order to find other potential targets.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE In Mexico, plants are an important element of traditional medicine, and many are considered part of Mexican cultural heritage from prehispanic and colonial times. Nevertheless, relatively few systematic scientific studies have been conducted to fully characterize the chemical composition and pharmacological activities of Mexican medicinal plants. Acacia farnesiana is used in Mexican traditional medicine to treat dysentery and tuberculosis and therefore could have bioactive compounds that may explain its traditional use. AIMS OF THE STUDY i) To isolate and characterize the compounds from the hexanic, chloroformic and methanolic extracts; ii) to identify the volatile compounds from methylated hexanic and chloroformic extracts using GC-FID and GC-MS methods; iii) to identify the compounds from methanolic and aqueous extracts using HPLC-Q-TOF-MS; iv) to test the activity of extracts and isolated compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and dysentery bacteria. MATERIAL AND METHODS A. farnesiana fruits were collected in Acatlán de Osorio, Puebla, Mexico. Hexanic, chloroformic, methanolic and aqueous extracts were prepared and analyzed by different chromatographic techniques including column chromatography, flash chromatography, GC-FID, GC-MS and HPLC-Q-TOF-MS. Structural elucidation was carried out by NMR spectroscopic analysis. The activity of extracts, phytochemicals and semi-synthetic derivatives against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and G122 as well as dysentery bacteria (Campylobacter jejuni, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella enteritidis, Yersinia enterocolitica and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli) was determined by the broth microdilution method and reported as minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC µg/mL). RESULTS From both hexane and chloroform extracts, tetracosanoic acid (2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester (1) and (3β,22E)-estigmasta-5,22-dien-3-yl β-D-glucopyranoside (2) were isolated and characterized. From the methanolic extract, methyl gallate (3), gallic acid (4), (3β,22E)-estigmasta-5,22-dien-3-yl β-D-glucopyranoside (2), (2S) naringenin 7-O-β-glucopyranoside (prunin, 5), pinitol (6) and sucrose (7) were isolated and characterized. Furthermore, hexanic and chloroformic extracts were analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS and 18 methylated fatty acids were identified for each extract in addition to three sterols. The methanolic and aqueous extracts were analyzed separately by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS, and 15 compounds were identified in each extract. The compounds 1, 2, and 7, in addition to 13 fatty acids and eight phenolic compounds, were identified for the first time in A. farnesiana. The extracts showed antitubercular (MIC 100-200 µg/mL) and antidysentery activity (MIC 100-200 µg/mL). Methyl gallate and its acetylated derivative showed activity against the sensible strain M. tuberculosis H37Rv with MIC values of 50-25 µg/mL, respectively. The flavanone prunin showed activity against multidrug resistant M. tuberculosis G122 (MIC 50 μg/mL). Methyl gallate, gallic acid and prunin showed activity against C. jejuni (MIC 50 μg/mL). CONCLUSIONS The activity of tested extracts and isolated compounds against M. tuberculosis and dysentery bacteria justifies the ethnomedical use of A. farnesiana fruits for the treatment of tuberculosis and dysentery.

Abstract
Arterial hypertension is one of the main risk factors in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is important to look for new drugs to treat hypertension. In this study, we carried out the screening of 19 compounds (triterpenes, diterpenes, sesquiterpenes, lignans, and flavonoids) isolated from 10 plants used in Mexican traditional medicine to determine whether they elicited vascular smooth muscle relaxation and, therefore, could represent novel anti-hypertension drug candidates. The vasorelaxant activity of these compounds was evaluated on the isolated rat aorta assay and the results obtained from this evaluation showed that three compounds induced a significant vasodilatory effect: meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid [half maximal effective concentration (EC50), 49.9 ± 11.2 µM; maximum effect (Emax), 99.8 ± 2.7%]; corosolic acid (EC50, 108.9 ± 6.7 µM; Emax, 96.4 ± 4.2%); and 5,8,4′-trihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyflavone (EC50, 122.3 ± 7.6 µM; Emax, 99.5 ± 5.4%). Subsequently, involvement of the NO/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and H2S/ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) pathways on the vasodilator activity of these compounds was assessed. The results derived from this analysis showed that the activation of both pathways contributes to the vasorelaxant effect of corosolic acid. On the other hand, the vasodilator effect of meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid and 5,8,4′-trihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyflavone, partly involves stimulation of the NO/cGMP pathway. However, these compounds also showed an important endothelium-independent vasorelaxant effect, whose mechanism of action remains to be clarified. This study indicates that meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid, corosolic acid, and 5,8,4′-trihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyflavone could be used as lead compounds for the synthesis of new derivatives with a higher potency to be developed as drugs for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Thirty-three meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid (meso-DGA) derivatives bearing esters, ethers, and amino-ethers were synthesized. All derivatives were tested against twelve drug-resistant clinical isolates of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including sensitive (H37Rv) and multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Among the tested compounds, four esters (7, 11, 13, and 17), one ether (23), and three amino-ethers (30, 31, and 33) exhibited moderate activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, whereas 30 and 31 showed better results than levofloxacin against vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. Additionally, nineteen meso-DGA derivatives displayed moderate to potent activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 3.125 to 50µg/mL. Seven meso-DGA derivatives bearing amino-ethers (26-31 and 33) exhibited the lowest MICs against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and G122 strains, with 31 being as potent as ethambutol (MICs of 3.125 and 6.25µg/mL). The presence of positively charged group precursors possessing steric and hydrophobic features (e.g. N-ethylpiperidine moieties in meso-31) resulted essential to significantly increase the antimycobacterial properties of parent meso-DGA as supported by the R-group pharmacophoric and field-based QSAR analyses. To investigate the safety profile of the antimycobacterial compounds, cytotoxicity on Vero cells was determined. The amino-ether 31 exhibited a selectivity index value of 23, which indicate it was more toxic to M. tuberculosis than to mammalian cells. Therefore, 31 can be considered as a promising antitubercular agent for further studies.

Abstract
<p>Tuberculosis (TB) is a great cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. The increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>and co-infection TB-AIDS led to the need to develop new TB drugs, and plants could be a source of them. The hexane extract of <em>Citrus sinensis </em>with anti-TB activity was analyzed by GC-MS. This analysis showed the presence of 40 volatile components, including monoterpenes (81.74%), sesquiterpenes (1.32%), fatty acids (1.15%), and some other oxygenated non-aromatic compounds (15.73%). Some identified compounds were tested against <em>M. tuberculosis </em>H37Rv, and one clinical isolated MDR <em>M. tuberculosis </em>strain. Results showed that palmitic acid, decanal, caryophyllene oxide, and <em>cis</em>-limonene oxide contributed to the anti-TB activity of hexane extract of <em>C. sinensis </em>peel.</p>

Abstract
Background Lower respiratory tract infections are a major cause of illness and death. Such infections are common in intensive care units (ICU) and their lethality persists despite advances in diagnosis, treatment and prevention. In Mexico, some plants are used in traditional medicine to treat respiratory diseases or ailments such as cough, bronchitis, tuberculosis and other infections. Medical knowledge derived from traditional societies has motivated searches for new bioactive molecules derived from plants that show potent activity against bacterial pathogens. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hexanic, chloroformic (CLO), methanolic (MET) and aqueous extracts from various plants used in Mexican traditional medicine on various microorganisms associated with respiratory disease. Methods thirty-five extracts prepared from nine plants used in Mexican traditional medicine for the treatment of respiratory infections were evaluated against 15 control bacterial species and clinical isolates. Results Both chloroformic (CLO) and methanolic (MET) extracts of Larrea tridentata were active against Methicillin-resistant S. aureus, B. subtilis and L. monocytogenes. A MET extract of L. tridentata was also active against S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, S. maltophilia, E. faecalis and H. influenzae and the CLO extract was active against A. baumannii. An Aqueous extract of M. acumitata and a MET extract of N. officinale were active against S. pneumoniae. CLO and MET extracts of L. tridentata were active against clinical isolates of S. aureus, S. pneumoniae and E. faecalis. Conclusion Overall, our results support the potential use of L. tridentata as a source of antibacterial compounds.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) kills about 3 million people per year worldwide. Furthermore, TB is an infectious disease associated with HIV patients, and there is a rise in multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) cases around the world. There is a need for new anti-TB agents. The study evaluated the antimycobacterial activity of nine plants used in Mexican traditional medicine to treat tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases. Nasturtium officinale showed the best activity (MIC = 100 microg/mL) against the sensitive Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The following plants were active also but at 200 microg/mL: Citrus sinensis, Citrus aurantifolia, Foeniculum vulgare, Larrea tridentata, Musa acuminata and Olea europaea. Contrary to the above data, activity against drug-resistant variants of M. tuberculosis was more evident, e.g. N. officinale was the most potent (MIC < or = 100 microg/mL) against the four mono-resistant variants tested; F. vulgare and O. europaea were active against all the resistant variants (MICs < or = 100 microg/mL). The most susceptible variant was the isoniazid resistant, being inhibited by C. aurantifolia, C. sinensis and O. europaea (MIC = 25 microg/mL). These data point to the importance of biological testing of extracts against drug-resistant M. tuberculosis isolates, and the bioguided assay of these extracts for the identification of lead compounds against MDR-TB isolates.
