A new quinoline alkaloid, 5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-N-methyl-2-phenylquinoline-4-one (1), and seventeen known quinoline alkaloids (2-18) were isolated from the roots of Orixa japonica. The structure of 1 was determined by analysis of spectroscopic data. Among them, compounds 2, 3, and 13 were isolated from this plant for the first time. All isolates were screened for the anti-pathogenic fungi activities, including Rhizoctonia solani, Magnaporthe oryzae, and Phomopsis sp.. The results showed that five compounds (4, 8, 10, 11, and 12) exhibited significant anti-pathogenic fungi effects at 50.0 μg/mL. In special, compound 10 exhibited the best antifungal activities toward R. solani and M. oryzae with the IC50 values of 37.86 and 44.72 μM, respectively, better than that of the positive control, hymexazol (IC50 121.21 and 1518.18 μM, respectively). Moreover, eleven new quinoline alkaloids derivatives (12a-12k) were designed and synthesized to investigate the structure-activity relationships (SARs). The SARs analysis indicated that the furo [2, 3-b] quinoline skeleton and the methoxy at C-7 (compounds 8, 11, and 12) played a key role for improving the antifungal activities.

Hypermonins A-D (1-4), four rearranged nor-polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) with unprecedented skeletons, together with two new biosynthesis related PPAPs (5 and 6) were isolated and identified from the flowers of Hypericum monogynum. Hypermoins A-D represented the first examples of highly modified norPPAPs characterized by a rare 7/6/6/5-tetracyclic system. From the biogenic synthesis pathway analysis, all isolates shared the same biosynthetic intermediate, and the addition of two methyls or one methyl to this intermediate through methyltranferase could generate different types of PPAPs (1-7). Their planner structures as well as absolute configuration were confirmed via spectroscopic analysis, ECD calculation, and X-ray crystallography. All isolates potentially reversed multidrug resistance (MDR) activity in both two cancer cells, HepG2/ADR and MCF-7/ADR. Specifically, hypermoin E (5) and hyperielliptone HA (7) were found to be the best MDR modulators with the reversal fold ranging from 41 to 236, which is higher than the positive control verapamil.

Dragon Boat Festival herbal markets in the Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of southwestern Guizhou have a long well-conserved history. These markets, which are a feature of Buyi and Miao traditional medicines, contain a rich diversity of medicinal plants and traditional medical knowledge. Today, people in southwestern Guizhou still believe that using herbs during the Dragon Boat Festival prevents and can treat disease. In this study, we identified the fresh herbal plants sold at the herbal markets of Xingren City and Zhenfeng County in Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture and quantified their importance. We identified 141 plant species (belonging to 114 genera and 61 families). The plant family with the most species was Asteraceae (14 species). Informants reported that most medicinal plants are herbaceous, with 95.7% of plants used for decoction and 30.5% used for medicinal baths. Medicinal plants are most commonly used to treat rheumatism, injury, and abdominal diseases. The utilization frequency index and relative importance values indicated that Artemisia argyi and Acorus calamus are the most important plants sold at herbal markets during the Dragon Boat Festival. The price of medicinal materials sold in the market may serve as an indicator of the conservation status of species in the region. These findings indicate that the Dragon Boat Festival herbal markets in the Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture fully embodies the characteristics of indigenous ethnomedicine and culture, and also exhibits the diversity of plant resources. We recommend that rare and endangered plants in this region be domesticated and protected.

Hypericum monogynum L. (Hypericaceae) has been used as a folk Chinese medicine for the treatment of inflammatory related diseases. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a crucial target for the development of agents to treat inflammation. To search for anti-inflammatory compounds from traditional Chinese medicines, a chemical constituent study along with COX-2 inhibitory activity analysis was performed for this plant. In this study, sixteen chemical monomers, including three undescribed oxidative degradation polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs, hypemoins C–E), two undescribed PPAPs (hypemoins A and B), and 11 known compounds, were identified from the flowers of H. monogynum. Their structures were characterized by HRESIMS, NMR techniques, ECD, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Four flavonoid derivatives showed remarkable COX-2 inhibitory activities, with IC50 values ranging from 0.220 ± 0.006 to 1.655 ± 0.098 μM. Among these compounds, the possible recognition mechanism between quercetin 3-(6″-O-caffeoyl)-β-3-D-galactoside and COX-2 was predicted by molecular docking analysis. Moreover, the multidrug resistance reversal activities for the selected compounds were evaluated.

A new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP), hypermonin C (1), along with nine known PPAPs (2–10) were obtained from the leaves and twigs of Hypericum monogynum. The structures of the isolates were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. The neuroprotective effects of the isolates against several chemical-induced injuries in SH-SY5Y and PC12 cells were assessed, and most of the compounds exhibited significant protective effects at 10 μg/ml. Especially, three compounds (1, 3, and 7) showed excellent neuroprotective activity with a cell viability of 92.4% ∼ 95.8% in KCl-induced SH-SY5Y cell injury. Their preliminary structure-activity relationship was also discussed and the configuration of substituent in furohyperforin may be critical for the neuroprotective activity of PPAP derivatives.

The mixture of GX (guttiferone E and xanthochymol), an inseparable polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP), showed moderate cytotoxic activities. The chemical transformation of GX yielded three different types of PPAPs (1, 2, and 3/4). A series of analogs were prepared, and the structures of the 40 newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS. The derivatives were screened in vitro for antiproliferative activity against five human cancer cell lines: human leukemic cell lines (HEL and K562), cervical cancer cell line (Hela), human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7), and human non-small cell lung cancer cell line (A549), using the MTT assay, and most of the derivatives showed good cytotoxic activities. Noticeably, compound 2, a novel tautomer with a hemiketal, exhibited selective cytotoxic activities against HEL (IC50 = 4.79 ± 0.23 μM) and K562 (IC50 = 7.69 ± 0.34 μM) leukemia cells. The mechanism studies indicated that compound 2 induced apoptosis and arrested the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase in the HEL cell line. Furthermore, compound 2 activated the intrinsic pathway by reducing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and cell cycle-specific cyclin D1 and by enhancing the pro-apoptotic protein Bax. Moreover, the caspase-3 and PPRP1 levels were also upregulated. Our present results suggest that compound 2 is a potential candidate for developing novel anti-leukemia agents in the future.

The SIN3 repressor complex and the NAD-dependent deacetylase SIRT3 control cell growth, and development as well as malignant transformation. Even then, a little known about cross-talks between these two chromatin modifiers or whether their interaction explored therapeutically. Here we describe the identification of a C21-steroidal derivative compound, 3-O-chloroacetyl-gagamine, A671, which potently suppresses the growth of mouse and human T-cell lymphoma and erythroleukemia in vitro and preclinical models. A671 exerts its anti-neoplastic effects by direct interaction with Histone deacetylase complex subunit SAP18, a component of the SIN3 suppressor complex. This interaction stabilizes and activates SAP18, leading to transcriptional suppression of SIRT3, consequently to inhibition of proliferation and cell death. The resistance of cancer cells to A671 correlated with diminished SAP18 activation and sustained SIRT3 expression. These results uncover the SAP18-SIN3-SIRT3 axis that can be pharmacologically targeted by a C21-steroidal agent to suppress T-cell lymphoma and other malignancies., Gajendran et al. show that a C21-steroidal derivative called A671, 3-O-chloroacetyl-gagamine, suppresses the growth of T-cell lymphoma in mice. They find that A671 activates SAP18 to suppress the transcription of SIRT3, inhibiting cell growth. This study presents a new pharmacological target pathway for T-cell lymphoma.

In addition, compounds 4 and 12 exhibited moderate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities, with IC50 values of 20.32 and 27.37 μM, respectively.

During the screening of natural anti-inflammatory agent, we identified some C21-steroidal pregnane sapogenins or the derivatives to inhibit TLR2, TLR3, and TLR4-initiatedinflammatory responses respectively. Treatment with active compounds 10, 2j and 3p failed to impact tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced nucleus translocation of NF-κB p65 subunit. However, these compounds regulated distinct canonical or non-canonical NF-κB family members. Ectopic expression of TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6) abrogated the inhibitory activity of the compounds on production of pro-inflammatory cytokines downstream of TLR4. These results suggested that compounds 10, 2j, and 3p suppressed TLR-initiated innate immunity through TRAF6 with differential regulation of NF-κB family proteins.
