Abstract
Three previously undescribed furanone derivatives named siamfuranones A-C (1-3), together with 11 known compounds (4-14), were isolated from the flowers of Uvaria siamensis. Their planar structures were determined through analysis of spectrometric and spectroscopic evidence, while electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations were used to determine their absolute configurations. In addition, gauge-including atomic orbitals (GIAO) NMR chemical shift calculation, supported by the advanced statistical method DP4 plus, was used to confirm the relative configuration of siamfuranone B (2). All the isolated compounds were evaluated against two cancer cell lines (A549 and Hela), and screened for antibacterial activities. Furthermore, they were assessed for cytotoxicity against a normal cell line (Vero cell).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary liver cancer. Anomianthus dulcis (Dunal) J.Sinclair (syn. Uvaria dulcis) has been used in Thai traditional medicine in various therapeutic indications. Phytochemical constituents of A. dulcis have been isolated and identified. However, their effects on liver cancer and the associated mechanisms have not been elucidated. METHODS Dry flowers of A. dulcis were extracted using organic solvents, and chromatographic methods were used to purify the secondary metabolites. The chemical structures of the pure compounds were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data. Cytotoxicity against HCC cells was examined using SRB assay, and the effects on cell proliferation were determined using flow cytometry. The mechanisms underlying HCC inhibition were examined by molecular docking and verified by Western blot analysis. RESULTS Among 3 purified flavonoids, pinocembrin, pinostrobin, and chrysin, and 1 indole alkaloid (3-farnesylindole), only pinocembrin showed inhibitory effects on the proliferation of 2 HCC cell lines, HepG2 and Li-7, whereas chrysin showed specific toxicity to HepG2. Pinocembrin was then selected for further study. Flow cytometric analyses revealed that pinocembrin arrested the HCC cell cycle at the G1 phase with a minimal effect on cell death induction. Pinocembrin exerted the suppression of STAT3, as shown by the molecular docking on STAT3 with a better binding affinity than stattic, a known STAT3 inhibitor. Pinocembrin also suppressed STAT3 phosphorylation at both Tyr705 and Ser727. Cell cycle regulatory proteins under the modulation of STAT3, namely cyclin D1, cyclin E, CDK4, and CDK6, are substantially suppressed in their expression levels. CONCLUSION Pinocembrin extracted from A. dulcis exerted a significant growth inhibition on HCC cells via suppressing STAT3 signaling pathways and its downstream-regulated genes.

Abstract
A new prenylated xanthenoid with a highly oxidized core, acrotrione B (1: ), together with six previously reported acetophenones (2: - 7: ), were isolated from the roots of Acronychia pedunculata. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by thorough analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The relative and absolute configurations of acrotrione B were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Acrotrione B is an unusual, oxidized xanthenoid with a cyclohexadienone core that has not been previously reported. It thus represents a new skeletal type within the xanthenoid class. Acrotrione B (1: ) exhibited anti-proliferative activity against Hela (IC50 = 16.0 µM) and A549 (IC50 = 16.3 µM) cell lines. 5'-Prenylacrovestone (4: ) and acrovestone (5: ) were even more potent with IC50 values of 5.1 µM and 0.77 µM, respectively, against Hela cells and 11.8 µM and 1.13 µM, respectively, against A549 cells. Moreover, acrotrione B (1: ) displayed moderate antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus subtilis, with MIC values in the range of 16 - 64 µg/mL. Finally, acropyrone (6: ) showed a significant suppression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced NO production in murine macrophage J774.A1 cells (IC50 = 8.9 µM).

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the flowers of Anomianthus dulcis led to the isolation of eleven known compounds. The isolated compounds were identified by analysis of physical and spectroscopic (IR, 1 D and 2 D NMR) data. We report five flavonoids (1-4 and 10), two chalcone-sesquiterpenoids (5 and 6), one indole alkaloid (7), one triterpenoid (8), and a mixture of two phenolic compounds (9 and 11). Remarkably, it is the second isolation of sumadain A (5) and sumadain B (6) from a natural source. Compounds 5 and 6 were evaluated against several cancer cell lines, as the previous report lacked biological activity studies. Compound 6 showed strong cytotoxicity against Hela, HT-29, HCT-116, and A549 cell lines, with IC50 values in the range of 5.43-14.64 µg/mL.

Abstract
Background Infection with Mycobacterium abscessus is usually chronic and is associated with clarithromycin resistance. Increasing drug resistance is a major public-health problem and has led to the search for new antimycobacterial agents. We evaluated the antimycobacterial activity, toxicity, and synergistic effects of several plant secondary metabolites against M. abscessus. Methods Twenty-three compounds were evaluated for antimycobacterial activity against thirty M. abscessus clinical isolates by broth microdilution to determine their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. Toxicity was evaluated using red and white blood cells (RBCs and WBCs). The compounds were used in combination with clarithromycin to investigate the possibility of synergistic activity. Results Five out of twenty-three compounds (RL008, RL009, RL011, RL012 and RL013) exhibited interesting antimycobacterial activity against M. abscessus, with MIC values ranging from <1 to >128 μg/mL. These extracts did not induce hemolytic effect on RBCs and displayed low toxicity against WBCs. The five least-toxic compounds were tested for synergism with clarithromycin against seven isolates with inducible clarithromycin resistance and seven with acquired clarithromycin resistance. The best synergistic results against these isolates were observed for RL008 and RL009 (8/14 isolates; 57%). Conclusions This study demonstrated antimycobacterial and synergistic activities of pure compounds extracted from medicinal plants against clarithromycin-resistant M. abscessus. This synergistic action, together with clarithromycin, may be effective for treating infections and should be further studied for the development of novel antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the anticancer effect of aurisin A and the underlying mechanisms of its action on the human lung cancer A549 cell line. Methods: Cell viability was determined by sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay, while cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. The molecular underlying mechanisms of anti-cancer properties of aurisin A was determined by western blot analysis. Results: Aurisin A exerts its anticancer effects by inhibiting cell growth (p<0.001), increasing the proportion of cells at the G0/G1 phase (p<0.001), and decreasing the expression of cyclin D (p<0.05) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk-4) (p<0.001). Nuclear morphological changes were observed in aurisin A-treated cells, demonstrated by a dose-dependent increase in the number of apoptosis cells (p<0.001). After aurisin A treatment, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) was down-regulated (p<0.05), cleaved caspase-3 was up-regulated (p<0.05). In addition, aurisin A inhibits migration of cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.001) and decreases the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (p<0.05) and phosphorylated p38 (pp38) (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results indicated that in-vitro treatment of aurisin A against this human lung cancer cell line inhibits cell proliferation and migration, and induces apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest. Aurisin A is a promising anticancer agent for use against human lung cancer.

Abstract
The bioactive compounds of the fungus Aspergillus aculeatus strain KKU-CT2, have been studied. The crude extracts from this fungus showed good antimicrobial activity against human pathogens, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeast-like fungi. Its chemical components were isolated and purified by chromatographic methods. The structures of the secondary metabolites were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (IR, 1H, and 13C NMR). They were identified as ergosterol peroxide (1), secalonic acid D (2), secalonic acid F (3), variecolin (4), variecolactone (5), and ergosterol (6). Compounds 1 and 4-6 are reported for the first time as fungal metabolites from this species. Compound 1 displayed inhibitory effects on HSV-1 with an IC50 of 11.01 μg/ml. Compounds 3, 4, and 6 exhibited antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with IC50 of 1.03, 1.47, and 5.31 µg/ml, respectively. Additionally, all compounds from A. aculeatus KKU-CT2 showed unprecedented anticancer activities against human epidermoid carcinoma in the mouth (KB) (compounds 1-6), human breast cancer (MCF-7) (compounds 2, 4, and 5), and human lung cancer cells (NCI-H187) (compounds 1-4 and 6). These results suggest that secondary metabolites from A. aculeatus KKU-CT2 might be interesting for further derivatization, targeting diseases such as cancer.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were conjugated with gallic acid (GA) at various concentrations between 30 and 150 μM and characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV-VIS). The anticancer activities of the gallic acid-stabilized gold nanoparticles against well-differentiated (M213) and moderately differentiated (M214) adenocarcinomas were then determined using a neutral red assay. The GA mechanism of action was evaluated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy. Distinctive features of the FTIR spectra between the control and GA-treated cells were confirmed by principal component analysis (PCA). The surface plasmon resonance spectra of the GNPs had a maximum absorption at 520 nm, whereas GNPs-GA shifted the maximum absorption values. In an in vitro study, the complexed GNPs-GA had an increased ability to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells that was statistically significant (P<0.0001) in both M213 and M214 cells compared to GA alone, indicating that the anticancer activity of GA can be improved by conjugation with GNPs. Moreover, PCA revealed that exposure of the tested cells to GA resulted in significant changes in their cell membrane lipids and fatty acids, which may enhance the efficacy of this anticancer activity regarding apoptosis pathways.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Goniothalamus laoticus (Annonaceae) is being used traditionally as a tonic and a febrifuge by the local people in the northeastern part of Thailand. AIM OF STUDY To investigate the Thai medicinal plant, Goniothalamus laoticus, for antiplasmodial, antimycobacterial and cytotoxicity activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS The flowers extracts of Goniothalamus laoticus were isolated by chromatographic techniques. Structures of isolated compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods. The antiplasmodial, antimycobacterial and cytotoxicity evaluation of styryllactone derivatives and alkaloid were also performed. RESULTS Ten compounds, cinnamic acid (1); dihydrochrysine (2); beta-sitosterol (3); six styryllactones, (+)-3-acetylaltholactone (4), goniotriol (5), (+)-altholactone (6), (+)-goniofufurone (7), 9-deoxygoniopypyrone (8), howiinin A (9); and an aporphine alkaloid; (-)-nordicentrine (10) were isolated from flowers of Goniothalamus laoticus. Among these, compounds 1, 3-5, 8-10 are first isolated from the Goniothalamus laoticus. Besides, compound 10 is the first report from the Goniothalamus genus. The isolated compounds were evaluated in antiplasmodial, antimycobacterial and anticancer cell lines tests. Compounds 4-6 and 10 exhibited antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum (IC(50) 2.6, 7.9, 2.6 and 0.3 microg/mL, respectively), while 5, 6, 9 and 10 showed antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC 100, 6.25, 6.25 and 12.5 microg/mL, respectively). In addition, compounds 4-10 showed cytotoxicity against cancer cells, KB, BC1, NCI-H187, and MCF-7 with IC(50) ranging from 0.4 to 22.7 microg/mL. CONCLUSION This finding showed that the styryllactone derivatives and alkaloid isolated from the flowers of Goniothalamus laoticus exhibited antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, antimycobacterail against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines.

Among these isolates, 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8 exhibited antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, while 1- 3 showed antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis using in vitro assays.
