Abstract
Hydrophilic, lipophilic extracts and essential oil of four hops varieties from Slovenia were examined in this study. Lipophilic extracts were obtained by supercritical extraction (SFE), while for hydrophilic extracts ultrasound and microwave extraction were employed. Essential oils were isolated by the hydrodistillation process. The lipophilic composition of essential oils and lipophilic extracts was determined by GC-MS analysis. Monoterpenes and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were the most abundant class of compounds in oils (62.27-79.65 %), with myrcene being the most abundant constituent. Limonene and trans-caryophyllene were two terpenes determined in all essential oils while only trans-caryophyllene was detected in SFE samples. Antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activity, determined by applying in vitro assays, was more influenced by extraction technique than by varieties. Molecular docking was carried out to gain insight into the potential cancer protein targets BCL-2 and MMP9, whereby humulene epoxide II displayed good binding configuration within the cavities of the two proteins.

Abstract
Eight previously undescribed chromones eleusineketones A-H (1-8), as well as eight known compounds (9-16), were isolated from the endophytic fungus Bipolaris eleusines. These planar structures were created using an in-depth analysis of their spectral data, which included 1D, 2D, and HRESIMS data. Furthermore, the absolute configurations of compounds 1, 2, and 6 were determined by spectroscopic analysis and quantum chemical computational approaches, and compound 5 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The cytotoxic activity assay revealed that compounds 1 and 5 both inhibited MDA-MB-231 cells with IC50 values of 14.48 μM and 17.99 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Chemotherapy resistance is an insurmountable problem in clinical anticancer therapy. Although Oxaliplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), it still suffers from serious toxicities as well as drug resistance. In this work, three Oxaliplatin tetravalent platinum prodrugs(O1-O3) and three novel mixed ammine/amine analogs(C1-C3) were constructed, introducing cannabidiol with anti-tumor activity in their axial position. All Pt(IV) prodrugs exhibited potent antitumor effects in a variety of tumor cell lines, especially in HCT-116 cells, where complex O3 showed strong inhibitory effects with the half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) value of 6.02 ± 0.69 μM and about 2.6 times higher than that of Oxaliplatin. Further studies revealed that complex O3 decreased cellular mitochondrial membrane potential in a concentration-dependent manner and enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation by decreasing the expression of catalase, superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3). Complex O3 induces mitochondrial dysfunction and upregulates the pro-apoptotic protein Noxa, ultimately leading to severe DNA damage. The upregulation of Phosphorylated histone protein H2AX (γ-H2AX) expression is clear evidence. In addition, O3 inhibits the expression of RAD51 protein and prevents DNA damage repair, thus overcoming drug resistance. This strategy of combining bioactive molecules cannabidiol with platinum drugs to improve therapeutic efficacy and overcome drug resistance has been proven to be very effective and deserves further investigation.

Abstract
Bafilomycins are macrocyclic polyketides with intriguing structures and therapeutic value. Genomic analysis of Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 66814 revealed a type I polyketide synthase biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC), namely blm, which encoded bafilomycins and featured rich post-modification genes. The One strain many compounds (OSMAC) strategy led to the discovery of six compounds related to the blm BGC from the strain, including two previously undescribed 6,6-spiroketal polyketides, streptospirodienoic acids D (1) and E (2), and four known bafilomycins, bafilomycins P (3), Q (4), D (5), and G (6). The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, quantum calculation, and biosynthetic analysis. Additionally, the absolute configurations of the 6/5/5 tricyclic ring moiety containing six consecutive chiral carbons in the putative structures of 3 and 4 were corrected through NOE analysis, DP4+ calculation, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Bioinformatic analysis uncovered a plausible biosynthetic pathway for compounds 1-6, indicating that both streptospirodienoic acids and bafilomycins were derived from the same blm BGC. Additionally, sequence analysis revealed that the KR domains of module 2 from blm BGC was B1-type, further supporting the configurations of 1-4. Notably, compounds 3 and 4 displayed significant cytotoxic activities against A-549 human non-small cell lung cancer cells and HCT-116 human colon cancer cells.

Abstract
Fourteen sesquiterpenes, including one undescribed sesquiterpene lactone, were isolated from Youngia japonica, and their structures were identified by NMR, HRESIMS, ECD and calculated ECD. Cytotoxic activities of all isolates against A549, HeLa, and 4 T1 cell lines were detected by CCK8 assay. Among them, 2 showed obvious cytotoxic activity against A549 cells. Subsequently, the production of ROS, and apoptosis of A549 cells treated with 2 were evaluated. The result showed that 2 distinctly increased the ROS level, and induced the apoptosis of A549 cells. Further anticancer mechanism studies showed that 2 increased the expression of cleaved caspase 3. Taken together, our results demonstrated that 2 might become potential leading compounds for the treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
The essential oils of Thymus vulgaris (TVEO) and Thymus serpyllum (TSEO) show different biological activities. The aim of the study was to evaluate the biological activities of TVEO and TSEO from Montenegro. The main components of TVEO were p-cymene (29.52%), thymol (22.8%) and linalool (4.73%) while the main components of TSEO were p-cymene (19.04%), geraniol (11,09%), linalool (9.16%), geranyl acetate (6.49%) and borneol (5.24%). Antioxidant activity determined via DPPH for TVEO was 4.49 and FRAP 1130.27, while for TSEO it was estimated that DPPH was 4.88 μL/mL and FRAP was 701.25 μmol FRAP/L. Both essential oils were active against all tested bacteria, with the highest level of sensitivity of E. coli with MIC of 1.5625 μL/mL. Essential oils showed strong cytotoxic effects on human cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.20 to 0.24 μL/mL for TVEO and from 0.32 to 0.49 μL/mL for TSEO. TVEO caused apoptosis in cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells through activation of caspase-3 and caspase-8, while TSEO caused apoptosis through caspase-3. EOs decreased levels of oxidative stress in normal MRC-5 cells. HeLa cells treated with TVEO had reduced MMP2 expression levels, while cells treated with TSEO had lowered MMP2 and MMP9 levels. The treatment of HeLa cells with TVEO increased the levels of miR-16 and miR-34a, indicating potential tumor-suppressive properties. Our findings suggest that Thymus essential oils may be considered as good candidates for further investigation as cancer-chemopreventive and cancer-therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Ten previously undescribed cucurbitane-type triterpenoids, namely hemslyencins A-F (1-6) and hemslyencosides A-D (7-10), together with twenty previously reported compounds (11-30), were isolated from the tubers of Hemsleya chinensis. Their structures were elucidated by unambiguous spectroscopic data (UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR data). Hemslyencins A and B (1 and 2) possessing unique 9, 11-seco-ring system with a six-membered lactone moiety, were the first examples among of the cucurbitane-type triterpenoids, and hemslyencins C and D (3 and 4) and hemslyencoside D (10) are the infrequent pentacyclic cucurbitane triterpenes featuring a 6/6/6/5/6 fused system. The cytotoxic activities of all isolated compounds were evaluated against MCF-7, HCT-116, HeLa, and HepG2 cancer cells, and their structure-activity relationships (SARs) was discussed as well. Compounds 17, 25, and 26 showed significant cytotoxic effects with IC50 values ranging from 1.31 to 9.89 μM, among which compound 25 induced both apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase in a dose dependent manner against MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation into the medium polar fraction of the ethanol extract of Euphorbia peplus led to the identification of 32 diterpenoids with five structural types. Compounds 1-5 and 7-11 are reported for the first time, while the configuration of 6,7-epoxy group of 6 was revised to be β-oriented. Compounds 1-5 feature a rare structural variation of the double bond at Δ1 migrating to Δ1(10) in the tigliane-type diterpenoid family. Biologically, compound 21 was found to be the only one to show moderate cytotoxic activity, associated with the presence of a benzoyloxy residue at C-16. Besides, compounds 4, 8, 12, 13, 16, and 19 show significant inhibitory activities against NO production induced by LPS in RAW264.7 macrophage cells, with IC50 values within 2-5 μM. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that the ingenane-type diterpenoids have the best anti-inflammatory activity, and the esterification at 3-OH or 5-OH is crucial. Further biological researches demonstrated that 13, the predominant metabolite in this plant, exerts anti-inflammatory effects by blocking the activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
Seven previously undescribed preurianin-type limonoids, namely paraxylines A-G, and three known analogs were isolated from stem bark of Dysoxylum parasiticum. The structures, including absolute configurations, were established through spectroscopic analyses, quantum chemical calculations using the density functional theory method, as well as the DP4+ algorithm. Paraxylines A-G were identified as the first preurianin-type with full substitution at C, D-rings, leading to the highly oxygenated seco-limonoids skeleton. The secreted alkaline phosphate assay against an engineered human and murine TLR4 of HEK-Blue cells was performed to evaluate the immune regulating effects. Among them, paraxyline B was found to be a remarkable TLR4 agonist whereas two analogs (toonapubesins A and B) were found to antagonise lipopolysaccharide stimulation of the TLR4 pathway. Paraxylines A and C-E acted either as agonists or antagonists depending on the origin of the TLR4 receptor (human or mouse). The effect of these selected compounds on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-6 of the NF-κB signaling pathway were examined in macrophage cell lines, revealing dose-dependent effects. Additionally, paraxylines A, C, D, and G also presented modest cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 23.1 to 43.5 μM.

Abstract
Four new drimane-type sesquiterpenoids and two new nucleoside derivatives (1-6), were isolated from the fungus Helicoma septoconstrictum. Their structures were determined based on the combination of the analysis of their HR-ESI-MS, NMR, ECD calculations data and acid hydrolysis. All the isolated compounds were detected for their bio-activities against MDA-MB-231, A549/DDP, A2780 and HepG2 cell lines. Helicoside C (4) exhibited superior cytotoxicity against the A2780 cell line with IC50 7.5 ± 1.5 µM. The analysis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) revealed that Helicoside C induced an increase in intracellular ROS. Furthermore, the flow cytometry and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) analyses unveiled that Helicoside C mediated mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis in A2780 cells. The western blotting test showed that Helicoside C could suppress the STAT3's phosphorylation. These findings offered crucial support for development of H. septoconstrictum and highlighted the potential application of drimane-type sesquiterpenoids in pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
This study examined the impact of two green extraction techniques in order to maximize the usage and recovery of phenolic compounds from the by-product of the filter tea industry, the so-called ginger herbal dust. The main phenolic compounds extraction was performed by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) with the sonication amplitude ranging from 20% to 100%, and the subcritical water extraction (SWE), with the temperature ranging from 120 °C to 220 °C. All obtained extracts were characterized in terms of extraction yield, total phenolic content (TPC), and 6-ginerol, 6-shogaol, and 8-ginerol contents using RP-HPLC-DAD. Based on the results, we selected the extract obtained from raw ginger herbal dust using a sonication amplitude of 100% for further biological investigation of the cytotoxic effect on short- and long-term cell viability on liver and pancreatic cancer cells. This extract contained high TPC concentration, and 6-gingerol (44.57 mg/gDE), 8-gingerol (8.62 mg/gDE), and 6-shogaol (6.92 mg/gDE).

Abstract
The Allium turcicum L. (Zuzubak) plant as a cultivated vegetable have various health benefits and consumed as a food. Due to the shortcoming evidence in literature and the importance of this plant in folk medicine, in the present study, for the first time, we evaluated the bioactive profile of components (using LC-MS/MS), cytotoxicity, anticancer, antioxidant, and antibacterial prospectives of Zuzubak methanol extract. Reported results show that the extract is rich in bioactive compounds and has anticancer activity with breast cancer cells (MCF-7), human prostate cancer cells (DU-145), and Human osteosarcoma cancer Cell lines of (IC50) in dose dependent manner in the concentration range of 31.25 μg/mL and 2000 μg/mL for 24 and 48 h. Western blotting results determined that the extract significantly suppressed the growth of U2OS, MCF-7, and DU-145 cancer cells by down expression of Ang-1 (angiogenic protein) and Beclin-1 (autophagy protein) and overexpression of Bax (a proapoptotic protein). The oxidative stress indices showed a reduction in RPE-1 and MCF-7 cells and an upsurge in U2OS and DU-145 cells. Additionally, the antimicrobial assay showed suppression of the growth of various pathogenic microorganisms in 4.00-8.00 μg/concentrations of Zuzubak extract using the microdilution method. The phytochemicals identified showed promising anticancer, antioxidant effects, and antimicrobial properties, representing a valuable herbal source for drug development studies.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigations of the leaves of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. have led to the isolation of 12 undescribed triterpenoid saponins named huangqiyenins M-X. The structures of the undescribed compounds were determined using NMR and HRESIMS data. The cytotoxicity of these compounds against the RKO and HT-29 colon cancer cell lines was evaluated. Among these compounds, huangqiyenin W exhibited the highest cytotoxic activity against RKO colon cancer cells, whereas huangqiyenin Q and W showed moderate cytotoxic activity against HT-29 colon cancer cells. The network pharmacology results indicated that STAT3, IL-2 and CXCR1 are the correlated targets of huangqiyenin W against colon cancer, with AGE-RAGE and Th17 cell differentiation as the key signaling pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Casuarina equisetifolia belongs to the Casuarina species with the most extensive natural distribution, which contain various phytochemicals with potential health benefits. This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition and biological activities of different extracts of Casuarina equisetifolia. METHODS The n-hexane extract was analyzed for its unsaponifiable and fatty acid methyl esters fractions, while chloroform, ethyl acetate, and butanol extracts were studied for their phenolic components. Six different extracts of C. equisetifolia needles were evaluated for their total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activities. RESULTS The n-hexane extract contained mainly hydrocarbons and fatty acid methyl esters, while ten phenolic compounds were isolated and identified in the chloroform, ethyl acetate, and butanol extracts. The methanolic extract exhibited the highest total phenolic and flavonoid content, highest antioxidant activity, and most potent cytotoxic activity against HepG-2 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. The ethyl acetate extract showed the most significant inhibition zone against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. CONCLUSION Casuarina equisetifolia extracts showed promising antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activities. Overall, Casuarina equisetifolia is a versatile tree with a variety of uses, and its plant material can be used for many different purposes.

Abstract
Four undescribed coumarin derivatives, ficusalt A (1) and ficusalt B (2), a pair of racemic coumarins, (±) ficudimer A (3a/3b), along with ten known amides, were isolated from the roots of Ficus hirta. Their structures were elucidated by several spectroscopic data analyses, including HRESIMS, NMR, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The cytotoxic activities of all compounds against HeLa, HepG2, MCF-7, and H460 cell lines were detected using the MTT assay. Among these, 5 showed the highest activity against HeLa cells. Subsequently, the apoptotic, anti-invasive, and anti-migration effects of 5 on HeLa cells were determined by flow cytometer, transwell invasion assay, and wound-healing assay, respectively. The result suggested that 5 distinctly induced the apoptosis in HeLa cells and inhibited their invasion and migration. Further studies on anticancer mechanisms were conducted using Western blotting. As a result, 5 increased the cleavage of PARP and the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax. Moreover, 5 notably upregulated the phosphorylation of p38 and JNK, whereas inhibited the expression of p-ERK and p-AKT. Our results demonstrated that 5 could be a potential leading compound for further application in the treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Numerous studies have identified the detrimental effects for the biosphere of large plastic debris, the effect of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) is less clear. The skin is the first point of contact with NPs, and skin fibroblasts have a vital role in maintaining skin structure and function. Here, a comparative approach is taken using three fibroblast cell lines from the zebrafish (SJD.1), human male newborn (BJ-5ta) and female adult (HDF/TERT164) and their response to polystyrene NP (PS-NPs) exposure is characterized. Cells were exposed to environmentally relevant PS-NP sizes (50, 500 and 1000 nm) and concentrations (0.001 to 10 μg/ml) and their uptake (1000 nm), and effect on cell viability, proliferation, migration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, apoptosis, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and acid phosphatase (AP) determined. All fibroblasts took up PS-NPs, and a relationship between PS-NP particle size and concentration and the inhibition of proliferation and cell migration was identified. The inhibitory effect of PS-NPs on proliferation was more pronounced for human skin fibroblasts. The presence of PS-NPs negatively affected fibroblast migration in a time-, size- and concentration-dependent manner with larger PS-NPs at higher concentrations causing a more significant inhibition of cell migration, with human fibroblasts being the most affected. No major changes were detected in ROS production or apoptosis in NP challenged fibroblasts. While the ALP activity was increased in all fibroblast cell lines, only fish fibroblasts showed a significant increase in AP activity. The heterogeneous response of fibroblasts induced by PS-NPs was clearly revealed by the segregation of HDF, BJ.5ta and SJD.1 fibroblasts in principal component analysis. Our results demonstrate that PS-NP exposure adversely affected cellular processes in a cell-type and dose-specific manner in distinct fibroblast cell lines, emphasizing the need for further exploration of NP interactions with different cell types to better understand potential implications for human health.

Abstract
Novel 1,2,3-triazole benzenesulfonamide derivatives were designed as inhibitors for the tumor- related hCA IX and XII isoforms. Most of the synthesized compounds showed good inhibitory activity against hCA IX and hCA XII isoforms. Compounds 4d, 5h and 6b, exhibited remarkable activity as hCA IX inhibitors, with Ki values in the range of 0.03 to 0.06 µM, more potent than AAZ. Additionally, compounds 5b and 6d, efficiently inhibited hCA XII isoform, with Ki value of 0.02 µM, respectively, similar to AAZ. Further investigation for those potent derivatives against MCF-7, Hep-3B and WI-38 cell lines was achieved. Compounds 4d and 6d exerted dual cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and Hep-3B cell lines, with IC50 values of 3.35 & 2.12 µM against MCF-7 cell line and 1.72 & 1.56 µM against Hep-3B cell line, with high SI values ranged from 8.92 to 17.38 on both of the cell lines. Besides, they showed a high safety profile against normal human cell line, WI-38. Moreover, compound 5h had better cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 than the reference, DOX, with IC50 value of 4.02 µM. While, compounds 5b and 6b showed higher activity against Hep-3B if compared to the reference drug, 5-FU. From ADME study, compounds 4d, 5b, 6b and 6d obeyed Lipinski's rule of five, and they might be orally active derivatives, while, compound 5h exerted less oral bioavailability than the reference standard acetazolamide. Molecular docking and MDS studies predicted the binding mode and the stability of the target compounds inside hCA IX and hCA XII active sites, especially for compounds 5b and 6b.

Abstract
N6-[(Furan-2-yl)methyl]adenosine (kinetin riboside) and its seven synthesized analogues were examined for the ability to inhibit the growth of five human carcinoma cell lines and for comparison of normal human lung fibroblast cell line (MRC-5). Out of the compounds evaluated, 8-azakinetin riboside was shown to exhibit significant cytotoxic activity for 72 h treatment against ovarian OVCAR-3 and pancreatic MIA PaCa-2 cancer cells (IC50 = 1.1 μM) with an observed weaker effect against MRC-5 cells (IC50 = 4.6 μM). Kinetin riboside, as well as its N6-[(furan-3-yl)methyl]- and N6-[(thien-2-yl)methyl]- counterparts, also exhibited cytotoxic activities at low micromolar levels but were non-selective over MRC-5 cells.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticle is widely used in various field including medical, cosmetic, food and industrial purposes due to their unique properties in electrical conductivity, thermal, and biological activities. In the medical field, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been reported to have strong antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Maclurodendron porteri (MP) extract and to evaluate the antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of the synthesised MP-AgNPs. Green method of Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE) was used to extract the leaves of M. porter. Liquid Chromatography -Mass Spectrometry/Quadrupole time-of-flight (LC-MS/QTOF) was used to identify the compounds in the leaf extract of M. porteri. Characterisation of the synthesised nanoparticles involved ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), scanning electromagnetic microscopy (SEM), Zeta potential Analyzer and Particle Size Analyzer. The cytotoxic assay was conducted on MCF-7 and Caco-2 cell lines by MTT assay. Antimicrobial activity was tested on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria using the disc diffusion method. Based on LC-MS/QTOF analysis, 430 compounds were found. The identified major compounds consist of amino acids, polyphenols, steroids, terpenoids and heterocyclic compounds which possibly act as reducing agents. 1 mM, 5 mM and 10 mM of silver nitrate solution were mixed with the leaf extract to form silver nanoparticles. 1.2 mg/ml of MP-AgNPs were found to have antibacterial activity against B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa with inhibitory zones of 8.0 ± 0.36 mm, 8.5 ± 0.45 mm, 7.5 ± 0.36 mm, and 9.0 ± 0.40 mm respectively. MP-AgNPs showed no cytotoxic activity against Caco-2 and MCF-7 cells. In conclusion, the presence of major amine compounds such as 10,11-dihydro-10,11-dihydroxyprotriptyline and harderoporphyrin in the extract facilitated the synthesis of AgNPs and the nanoparticle showed weak bioactivities in the assay conducted.

Abstract
This study reports the isolation of four new β-carboline alkaloids (1-4) and six previously identified alkaloids (5-10) from the roots of Peganum harmala L. Among these compounds, 1 and 2 were characterized as rare β-carboline-quinazoline dimers exhibiting axial chirality. Compound 3 possessed a unique 6/5/6/7 tetracyclic ring system with an azepine ring, and compound 4 was a novel annomontine β-carboline. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic data and quantum mechanical calculations. The biosynthetic pathways of 1-3 were proposed. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of some isolates against four cancer cell lines (HL-60, A549, MDA-MB-231, and DU145) was evaluated. Notably, compound 4 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against HL-60, A549, and DU145 cells with IC50 values of 12.39, 12.80, and 30.65 μmol·L-1, respectively. Furthermore, compound 2 demonstrated selective cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells with an IC50 value of 17.32 μmol·L-1.

Abstract
The aim to access linked tetravanadate [V4O12]4- anion with mixed copper(II) complexes, using α-amino acids and phenanthroline-derived ligands, resulted in the formation of four copper(II) complexes [Cu(dmb)(Gly)(OH2)]2[Cu(dmb)(Gly)]2[V4O12]·9H2O (1) [Cu(dmb)(Lys)]2[V4O12]·8H2O (2), [Cu(dmp)2][V4O12]·C2H5OH·11H2O (3), and [Cu(dmp)(Gly)Cl]·2H2O (4), where dmb = 4,4'-dimethioxy-2,2'-bipyridine; Gly = glycine; Lys = lysine; and dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline. The [V4O12]4- anion is functionalized with mixed copper(II) units in 1 and 2; while in 3, it acts as a counterion of two [Cu(dmp)]2+ units. Compound 4 crystallized as a unit that did not incorporate the vanadium cluster. All compounds present magnetic couplings arising from Cu⋯O/Cu⋯Cu bridges. Stability studies of water-soluble 3 and 4 by UV-Vis spectroscopy in cell culture medium confirmed the robustness of 3, while 4 appears to undergo ligand scrambling over time, resulting partially in the stable species [Cu(dmp)2]+ that was also identified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry at m/z = 479. The in vitro cytotoxicity activity of 3 and 4 was determined in six cancer cell lines; the healthy cell line COS-7 was also included for comparative purposes. MCF-7 cells were more sensitive to compound 3 with an IC50 value of 12 ± 1.2 nmol. The tested compounds did not show lipid peroxidation in the TBARS assay, ruling out a mechanism of action via reactive oxygen species formation. Both compounds inhibited cell migration at 5 µM in wound-healing assays using MCF-7, PC-3, and SKLU-1 cell lines, opening a new window to study the anti-metastatic effect of mixed vanadium-copper(II) systems.

Abstract
Ten previously unreported [11]-chaetoglobosins, chaepseubakerins A-J (1-10), were characterized from the solid rice-based culture of Pseudeurotium bakeri P1-1-1, an endophyte harbored in the roots of Macrocoma tenue subsp. sullivantii Vitt. (Orthotrichaceae). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Cu Kα radiation), and chemical methods. Chaepseubakerin A (1) exhibited significant cytotoxic effects against seven human cancer cell lines, A549, A427, HCT116, HT-29, HeLa, HepG2, and MCF-7, with IC50 values of 2.9, 3.0, 4.0, 4.4, 7.1, 6.7, and 8.9 μM, respectively. Mechanistically, 1 induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in A549, Hela, and HCT116 cells in a dose dependent manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trichobakin (TBK), a member of type I ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), was first successfully cloned from Trichosanthes sp Bac Kan 8-98 in Vietnam. Previous study has shown that TBK acts as a potential protein synthesis inhibitor; however, the inhibition efficiency and specificity of TBK on cancer cells remain to be fully elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS In this work, we employed TBK and TBK conjugated with a part of the amino-terminal fragment (ATF) of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), which contains the Ω-loop that primarily interacts with urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, and can be a powerful carrier in the drug delivery to cancer cells. Four different human tumor cell lines and BALB/c mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LLC) were used to evaluate the role of TBK and ATF-TBK in the inhibition of tumor growth. Here we showed that the obtained ligand fused RIP (ATF-TBK) reduced the growth of four human cancer cell lines in vitro in the uPA receptor level-dependent manner, including the breast adenocarcinoma MDA-MB 231 cells and MCF7 cells, the prostate carcinoma LNCaP cells and the hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Furthermore, the conjugate showed anti-tumor activity and prolonged the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. The ATF-TBK also did not cause the death of mice with doses up to 48 mg/kg, and they were not significantly distinct on parameters of hematology and serum biochemistry between the control and experiment groups. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, ATF-TBK reduced the growth of four different human tumor cell lines and inhibited lung tumor growth in a mouse model with little side effects. Hence, the ATF-TBK may be a target to consider as an anti-cancer agent for clinical trials.

Abstract
Two novel koninginin derivatives, koningipyridines A and B (1 and 2), along with four known compounds (3-6) were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the endophytic fungus Trichoderma koningiopsis SC-5. Among them, koningipyridine A featured an unprecedented pentacyclic ketal skeleton with the formation of a fascinating 6/6/5/6/5 fused ring system and shared a characteristic pyridine core, which represents the first example of nitrogen-containing koninginin-type natural product. Moreover, koningipyridine B was the first member in the koninginin family sharing a unique 6/6/5 dihydropyridine skeleton, and it was suggested to be the critical biosynthetic precursor of koningipyridine A. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by the interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, HRESIMS data, as well as theoretical calculations of 13C NMR and electronic circular dichroism (ECD). Moreover, all isolates were screened for antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, and Escherichia coli as well as the cytotoxic effects against three cancer cell lines (A549, Hela, and HepG2).

Abstract
Two series of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide derivatives have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for cytotoxic activity. Target compounds were designed in two series: aryl hydrazone derivatives that were devoid of triazole moiety (7a-e) and aryl triazole bearing group (11a-e). In vitro cytotoxicity screening was carried out using MTT assay against three human cancer cells including breast cancer (MCF-7), colon cancer (HT-29), and leukemia (K562) cell lines as well as a non-cancer cell line (Vero). Compound 7d bearing 4-bromophenyl pendant from aryl hydrazone series exhibited the highest cytotoxic potential with IC50 values of 22.6 µM and 13.4 µM against MCF-7 and HT-29 cells, respectively, while it was not toxic towards non-cancer cells up to the concentration of 100 µM. Cell cycle analysis revealed that 7d increased the number of MCF-7 cells in the G0/G1 phase and also induced apoptosis in these cells as revealed by Hoechst 33,258 staining. The molecular mechanism contributing to the anti-proliferative effect of the most potent compound was investigated in silico using Super Pred software and introduced PDGFRA as a plausible target for 7d. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic studies demonstrated Lys627 and Asp836 as key residues interacting with the active compound. Overall, 7d could serve as a suitable candidate for further modifications as a lead anticancer structure.

Abstract
Filamentous fungi belonging to the genus Aspergillus are prodigious producers of alkaloids, particularly prenylated indole alkaloids, that often exhibit structurally diversified skeletons and potent biological activities. In this study, five prenylated indole alkaloids possessing a bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane core ring system, including a novel derivative, namely aspertaichamide A (1), as well as four known compounds, (+)-stephacidin A (2), sclerotiamide (3), (-)-versicolamide B (4), and (+)-versicolamide B (5), were isolated and identified from A. taichungensis 299, an endophytic fungus obtained from the marine red alga Gelidium amansii. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by comprehensive NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic analyses. In addition to the previously reported prenylated indole alkaloids, aspertaichamide A (1) was characterized as having an unusual ring structure with the fusion of a 3-pyrrolidone dimethylbenzopyran to the bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane moiety, which was rare in these kinds of compounds. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined by TDDFT-ECD calculations. In vitro cytotoxic assays revealed that the novel compound 1 possessed selective cytotoxic activity against five human tumor cell lines (A549, HeLa, HepG2, HCT-116, and AGS), with IC50 values of 1.7-48.5 μM. Most importantly, compound 1 decreased the viability of AGS cells in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 1.7 μM. Further studies indicated that 1 may induce AGS cells programmed cell death via the apoptotic pathway.

Abstract
A dimeric indole alkaloid, isovincathicine consisting of an aspidosperma type and modified iboga with C-7-C-20 connection type skeletons was first isolated from Catharanthus roseus, and the structure including stereochemistry was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data as well as DP4 statistical analysis. Isovincathicine inhibited cell proliferation in A549 cells. We investigated the detailed mode of action of isovincathicine-induced inhibitory effects on cell proliferation in A549 cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed that isovincathicine-treated cells accumulated in the G2 phase after 24 h, and the percentage of cells showing cell death increased after 48 h. Western blotting also showed increased expression of BimEL, an apoptosis-related protein, and decreased expression of Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL. Isovincathicine was suggested to induce apoptosis in A549 cells by a mechanism is similar to that of vinblastine.

Abstract
Terpenoids are the largest class of all known natural products, possessing structural diversity and numerous biological activities. Ten previously undescribed terpenoid glycosides, glechlongsides A-J (1-10), were isolated from the ethanol extract of the whole plant of Glechoma longituba, including diterpenoid glycoside and pentacyclic triterpenoid saponin. The structures of these compounds were characterized by extensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR as well as HRESIMS spectra. In addition, glechlongsides F-I (6-9) exhibited weak cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines BGC-823, Be1, HCT-8, A2780, and A549 with IC50 values ranging from 3.77 to 30.95 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Biological effects attributed to resin glycosides, including cytotoxicity against cancer cells and antibacterial, multidrug resistance-modulating, and antiviral activities have been documented. Penta-glycosides composed of calysolic acid A or calyhedic acid A, which are glycosidic acid components of the crude resin glycoside fraction of Calystegia hederacea, have not yet been isolated from this plant. In this study, eight new resin glycosides, termed calyhedins XVI (1)-XXIII (8), were isolated from the rhizomes of C. hederacea. Compounds 1-8 are penta- or hexa-glycosides with macrolactone structures, and their sugar moieties are partially acylated by five organic acids, including 2S-methylbutyric, (E)-2-methylbut-2-enoic, and 2R-methyl-3R-hydroxybutyric acids. Compounds 1-5 are the first identified macrocyclic resin glycosides with five monosaccharides obtained from this plant, and 2 and 4 are the first to be characterized as containing calyhedic acid A as the glycosidic acid component. Compounds 1-8 were of the four following macrolactone types: one with a 22-membered ring (5), another with a 23-membered ring (6-8), the third with a 27-membered ring (1, 3), and the fourth with a 28-membered ring (2, 4). Compounds 2-8 exhibited cytotoxic activity against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells comparable to that of the positive control, cisplatin.

Abstract
A number of NO-releasing quinoline derivatives have been designed and synthesized by introducing NO donor to quinoline carboxylic acid fragment. The anti-proliferation of all target compounds was evaluated against human cancer cell lines (HCT-116, MCF-7, and A549), MCF-7/ADR and normal cell (MCF-10A). Most compounds showed cytotoxic activity on cancer cells and drug-resistant cells with IC50 values in the range of 0.62-5.51 μM. Importantly, these compounds showed low toxicity to normal cells (4.21-34.08 μM). Further mechanism studies showed that the most potent compound 9 could release high concentration of NO and inhibit the activity of topoisomerase I. In addition, 9 regulated apoptosis-related proteins, generated ROS and blocked MCF-7 cells in G2/M phase to induce cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the P-gp-mediated transport was also influenced by 9. And 9 could significantly inhibit the growth of tumor in vivo without observable organ-related toxicities. Overall, as a novel NO-releasing quinoline derivative, 9 was worthy for further in-depth study.

Abstract
Four undescribed bis-iridoid glycosides, named phukettosides A-D, and one iridoid glycoside, referred to as phukettoside E, were isolated and fully characterized from the leaves of Morinda umbellata L. Phytochemical analysis also revealed the presence of eight known compounds. The structures were determined through extensive analysis of 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopic and HRMS spectral data, and the absolute configurations of the isolates were deduced through ECD calculations. Biogenetic pathways for the bis-iridoid glycosides, phukettosides A-C, through intermolecular Diels-Alder type reactions, were proposed. The isolated compounds, with the exception of phukettosides B and D, were evaluated against a panel of cancer cell lines (MOLT-3, HuCCA-1, A549, HeLa, HepG2, and MDA-MB-231) and a non-cancerous cell line (MRC-5) for their cytotoxicity. None of the isolates had significant cytotoxic effects on the tested cell lines.

Abstract
Camptothecin (CPT) and its derivatives are potent candidates for cancer treatment. However, the clinical applications are largely restricted by non-selectivity and severe toxicities. The peptide transporter 1 (PEPT1), which is highly expressed in human intestines, has been found to be overexpressed in several cancer cells. This discovery suggests that PEPT1 has the potential to serve as a therapeutic target for both improving bioavailability and cancer-targeting treatment. Therefore, a prodrug approach for CPT targeting at PEPT1 highly expressed cancer cells was adopted in the present study. Eighteen CPT prodrugs, its peptidic conjugates, were synthesized and the structures were confirmed by NMR and HRMS. The protein expression profiles of PEPT1 in different cell lines were performed using immunofluorescence assay and western blotting analysis. The cytotoxicity of CPT prodrugs and their uptake via competition with Gly-Sar, a typical substrate of PEPT1, were evaluated in both PEPT1-overexpressed and under expressed cells. The results demonstrated that most CPT prodrugs significantly impaired Gly-Sar uptake, suggesting a higher affinity of CPT-peptidic conjugates for PEPT1 and PEPT1 overexpression cells. In addition, these prodrugs demonstrated a higher capability for inhibiting cell growth in PEPT1 highly-expressed cancer cells compared to PEPT1 under expressed cells. These results indicated that this peptidic prodrug strategy might offer great potential for improved tumor selectivity and chemotherapeutic efficacy of CPT.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer accounted for the third most common cancer in the world. The search for new drug candidates that can be used for colorectal cancer treatment from marine-derived fungi, Emericella sp. The present study was performed to isolate the cytotoxic compound from Emericella sp. The isolation method was carried out by using a combination of chromatographic techniques to afford compound 1. The cytotoxic activity and the exosome production property were determined by using proliferation and luciferase assay against HT29 CD63 Nluc cells, respectively. The chemical structure of compound 1 was identified as cordycepin based on spectroscopy methods such as mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (1D and 2D NMR) analyses and comparison with authentic spectral data. The biological activity assay showed that cordycepin exhibited cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 92.05 µM through proliferation assay, and also inhibited the exosome production by luciferase assay with an IC50 value of 86.47 µM. Cordycepin was isolated from culture broth Emericella sp., exhibiting moderate cytotoxic activity and inhibitory activity of exosome production. Thus, cordycepin is a potential compound to be investigated further for its exosome production inhibition activity for further use as an anticancer lead compound.

Abstract
The study investigated the structure-activity relationship of newly synthesized dye-linker-macrocycle (DLM) conjugates and the effect of each component on various biological properties, including cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, intracellular localization, interaction with DNA and photodynamic effects. The conjugates were synthesized by combining 1,8-naphthalimide and thioxanthone dyes with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) and 1-aza-12-crown-4 (1A12C4) using alkyl linkers of different lengths. The results revealed significant differences in biological activity among the various series of conjugates. Particularly, 1A12C4 conjugates exhibited notably higher cytotoxicity compared to cyclen conjugates. Conjugation with 1A12C4 proved to be an effective strategy for increasing cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of small-molecule conjugates. In addition, the results highlighted the critical role of linker length in modulating the biological activity of DLM conjugates. It became clear that the choice of each component (dye, macrocycle and linker) could significantly alter the biological activity of the conjugates.

Abstract
During the course of isolating novel actinobacteria producing bioactive metabolites, strain BG9HT was obtained from an arid soil sample in Erzurum, Turkey. Pairwise sequence comparisons for 16S rRNA gene sequences showed the strain was a member of the genus Streptomyces and it shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity of 99.7% with Streptomyces huasconensis HST28T. Comparative genome analyses based on digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity revealed that strain BG9HT represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces. The polyphasic analysis also confirmed that the strain has typical characteristics of the genus Streptomyces. The strain has LL-diaminopimelic acid as diagnostic amino acid, and galactose, mannose and trace amounts of glucose and ribose as whole-cell sugars. Polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, unidentified aminolipids, phospholipids and lipids. Major isoprenoid quinones were MK-9(H6), MK-9(H4), and MK-9(H8). Its genome size is approximately 7.2 Mb with 71.2% G+C content. The methanolic extract of strain BG9HT showed antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. Further genomic analyses of strain BG9HT confirmed its high potential to produce novel secondary metabolites. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain BG9HT represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which Streptomyces anatolicus sp. nov. is proposed, and it holds high promise for novel biosynthetic metabolites of value to the biopharmaceutical industry. We also propose Streptomyces nashvillensis as a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces tanashiensis as a result obtained through analysis of overall genome relatedness indices.

Development of a novel NiCu nanoparticle-loaded polysaccharide-based hydrogel for 3D printing of customizable dressings with promising cytotoxicity against melanoma cells.

Abstract
Polysaccharide hydrogels and metal alloy nanoparticles have already found use in a range of biomedical applications. Nickel-copper nanoparticles (NiCu NPs) are particularly promising due to their tunable properties, such as ferromagnetism, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity. At the same time, polysaccharide hydrogels made of polymer mixtures such as alginate and methylcellulose with incorporated metal alloy nanoparticles are reported in the scientific literature. In view of this, in this work, NiCu NPs are combined with polysaccharide hydrogels and 3D printed to construct geometrically customizable dressings with tailorable properties for melanoma treatment. This novel combination exploits the intrinsic magnetic properties of NiCu NPs and the same time builds on their less known properties to improve the mechanic stability of 3D printed materials, both contributing to a previously not reported application as potent cytotoxic dressing against melanoma cells. The dressings were evaluated in terms of their physico-chemical characteristics, and their potential application, namely melanoma cell cytotoxicity. While all dressings exhibited similar degradation profiles regardless of composition, the addition of NiCu NPs had an effect on the hydrophilicity, swelling rates, and topographical properties of the dressings. Compression results showed that the presence of NPs increased the stiffness of the dressings, while the ultimate tensile strength was highest at 0.31 MPa for the dressings with 0.5 wt% NPs. We show that although the base formulation of the dressings is biocompatible with skin-derived cells, dressings loaded with NPs exhibit promising antimelanoma activity. Extracts obtained from dressings containing 0.5 wt% NPs reduced melanoma cell viability to 61% ± 11% and 40% ± 2% after 24 h and 72 h of soaking, respectively. Furthermore, extracts of dressings with 1 wt% NPs reduced melanoma cell viability to less than 15% within the first 24 h. By adjusting the NP content, the mechanical properties, surface roughness, and wettability can be tuned so that the dressings can be functionally customized. In addition, by using 3D printing as a fabrication process, the shape and composition of the dressings can be tailored to the patient's needs. The dressings also remained intact after soaking in simulated physiological solution for 14 days, indicating their suitability for long-term topical application.

Abstract
Phytochemical study of Magnolia grandiflora led to the isolation of 39 sesquiterpenoids, including 15 new compounds (1-15). Compounds 1 and 2 are discovered to be the first 13-norgermacrane type sesquiterpenoids in natural products. Compound 15 is a rare 5,6-seco-guaiane type sesquiterpene and its possible biogenic precursor is presumed to be compound 20. Subsequent structural modification for compound 28 led to 21 derivatives, among which 15 derivatives were new compounds. All compounds were tested for the inhibitory effects on three tumor cell lines, and 17 compounds were active with the IC50 values ranging from 1.91 ± 0.39 μM to 12.29 ± 1.68 μM. The structure-activity relationships implied that an α, β-unsaturated lactone group was an important active group for the cytotoxicity. Two most active compounds (19 and 29) with low toxicity on normal human liver cell line were selected for further mechanism study. Compound 29 could induce apoptosis on Colo320DM cells through influencing the key apoptotic related proteins, such as PARP, Cleaved PARP, cleaved Caspase-3, and pro-Caspase 3. In addition, compound 19 with the best cytotoxic activity on HEL cells also could induce the apoptosis in dose- and time-dependent manners. In summary, our investigation implied that compounds 19 and 29 are two new potential anti-cancer candidates for ongoing study in the future.

Abstract
Three previously undescribed steroidal constituents including two sterols (1-2) and one pregnane-type steroidal glycoside (6), along with nineteen known ones (3-5, 7-22), were isolated from the 80% alcohol extraction of Solanum nigrum L. Their structures and the absolute configurations were established by analysis of the extensive spectroscopic data (1H/13 NMR, 1H1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY), and/or by comparisons of the experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra with those calculated ones by TDDFT method. Further, a MTT assay was applied to demonstrate that compounds 1-4, 6-12, 18, and 22 exhibited significant cytotoxic activities against SW480 cells, and compounds 1-4, 6-14, and 16-22 showed significant cytotoxic activities against Hep3B cells.

Abstract
Calystegia hederacea Wall. (Convolvulaceae) is a perennial herbaceous vine that grows widely in India and East Asia. All parts of this plant are used to treat various disorders such as menoxenia and gonorrhea. Four new resin glycosides, calyhedins XI (1)-XIV (4), were isolated from the rhizomes of C. hederacea. A new glycoside, calyhedin XV (5), was isolated from its leaves and stems. Alkaline hydrolysis of 1 and 2 furnished a new glycosidic acid, calyhedic acid G (1a), from 1 and a new acid, calyhedic acid H (2a), from 2 along with 2S-methylbutyric acid and 2R-methyl-3R-hydroxybutyric (2R,3R-nilic) acid. The structures of 1-5, 1a, and 2a were determined using MS and NMR spectral analyses. Compounds 1a and 2a had the same sugar moiety, β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-[O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-fucopyranose, while their aglycones were 11S-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid and 12S-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid, respectively. These compounds are the first glycosidic acids, with fucose as the monosaccharide component obtained from the resin glycosides of C. hederacea. Compounds 1-5, comprising either 1a or 2a, were heptaglycosides with macrolactone structures, and their sugar moieties were partially acylated with 5 mol of organic acids comprising 2S-methylbutyric, (E)-2-methylbut-2-enoic, and 2R,3R-nilic acids. Compounds 1 and 5 had 22-membered rings, while 2-4 had 28-membered rings. In addition, 1 and 5 exhibited cytotoxic activity against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells, comparable to that of the positive control cisplatin.

Abstract
A facile protocol was developed for the combinatorial synthesis of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinone and pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidinone library via a one-pot condensation, from 2-amino furans/pyrroles. Herein reported process required a similar reaction condition, providing mild access to two diverse series of natural product-like heterocycles. Both furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinones and pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidinones were evaluated in vitro against a panel of human cancer cell lines including against human cancer HeLa (cervical), MCF-7 (breast) and HT-29 (colon) cell lines. Derivative 12n ((2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(1H)-one)) showed high activity (IC50 = 6.55 ± 0.31 µM) against the HeLa cell line. These products could be subjected to a various modification and therefore represent important skeletons for the anticancer drug discovery.
