Bioassay guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of the plant Gutierrezia sarothrae (Asteraceae) using an assay for antiplasmodial activity against the drug-resistant Dd2 strain of Plasmodium falciparum led to the isolation of the two new diterpenes 3α-angeloyloxy-15-hydroxylabda-7,13-dien-16,15-olid-18-oic acid (1) and 3α-angeloyloxy-15-methoxylabda-7,13-dien-16,15-olid-18-oic acid (2). The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by interpretation of ID and 2D NMR spectroscopic data, mass spectrometry, and comparison with the data of related compounds reported in the literature. Compound 1 exhibited moderate antiplasmodial activity with an IC50 values of 10.4 ± 4.3 μM.

Antiproliferative bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethanolic extract of the endemic Madagascan plant Metaporana sericosepala led to the first natural product isolation of a butenolide diterpene, which was synthesized during an anti-inflammatory study in 1988. The structure of the compound was elucidated as 3-homofarnesyl-4-hydroxybutenolide (1) by analysis of its spectroscopic data, including 1D- and 2D-NMR data and chemical evidence. The once synthetic compound can now also be considered as a natural product. Compound 1 had modest antiproliferative activity towards the A2780 ovarian cancer cell line with an IC50 value of 8 μM.

Two new cyclopropanoic fatty acid glycosides, named parisveroside A (1) and parisveroside B (2), were isolated from a MeOH extract of the roots of Paris verticillata (Liliaceae) together with three other known compounds, salicin (3), 3-(β-d-glucopyranosyloxymethyl)-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-(3-hydroxypropyl)-7-methoxy-(2R,3S)-dihydrobenzofuran (4), and allantoin (5). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D NMR, HR-FAB-MS, and chemical evidence. To investigate the antineuroinflammatory effects of the isolated compounds (1–5), nitric oxide (NO) production was evaluated in the lipopolysaccharide-activated microglia cell line, BV-2. Compounds 2 and 4 significantly inhibited NO production with IC50 values of 74.8 and 60.5 µmol/L, respectively.

Examination of the acetone extract of the aerial parts of Hypericum ellipticum afforded a new acetylated benzophenone glucoside (3′- O-β-D-3″,4″,6″-triacetylglucopyranosyl-2,4,5′,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone) together with catechin and epicatechin. The structure of the benzophenone glucoside was determined by 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The compound inhibited the proliferation of CNS tumor cell line (SF-268) and lipid peroxidation in in vitro assays.

Abstract Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the 7th most common type of cancer and the 5th cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. It is a heterogeneous disease which is quite variable from the genomic and histopathological aspect. In addition to the usual treatments for ovarian cancer, its recurrence is quite common, mainly due to lack of complete eradication of cancer stem cells. These cells have different properties such as self-renewal ability and stemness property, including proliferation.Method: In the present study, we isolated cancer stem cells with the CD133 surface marker from the ovarian A2780 cell line and examined the stemness property and self-renewal ability of these cells. Initially, CD133 surface marker expression in this cell line was assessed by the flow cytometry technique. Then, the isolation of these cells was performed by the Magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) method. Flow cytometry (FCM) was also used to confirm the isolation efficiency. The levels of mRNA expression were evaluated in several stem cell markers in CD133+ cells compared with CD133- cells. Moreover, the self- renewal ability of the isolated cells was investigated in serum-free culture medium.Results: Ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) with CD133 surface marker showed high expression of some stemness markers such as Sox2, Nanog, Oct4, ABCG2, ALDH1, LGR5 and Msi. These cells also had the ability to regenerate themselves in a serum-free environment.Conclusion: Cancer stem cells can be isolated through surface markers by the MACS technique; they have stemness and self-renewal properties. So, the CD133 surface marker can be introduced as a key CSC marker in the isolation, characterization and targeted therapy of ovarian cancer patients.

Euphorbia maculata is a medicinal plant of the Euphorbiaceae family, which can produce anti-inflammatory and cancer chemopreventive agents of triterpenoids. The present study reports on the bioactive triterpenoids of this plant. Two new lanostane-type triterpenoids, named (3S,4S,7S,9R)-4-methyl-3,7-dihydroxy-7(8→9) abeo-lanost-24(28)-en-8-one (1) and 24-hydroperoxylanost-7,25-dien-3β-ol (2), together with 15 known triterpene derivatives, were isolated from Euphorbia maculata. The structures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data (UV, MS, 1H and 13C-NMR, and 2D NMR) analysis. All tetracyclic triterpenoids (1–11) were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effects in the test of TPA-induced inflammation (1 μg/ear) in mice. The triterpenes exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activities.

From the ethanol extract of the whole plant of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Compositae), one new chromene, 2,2-dimethylchromene 7-methoxy-6- O-β-D-glucopyranoside, was isolated, together with thirteen known compounds, seven of which were being reported for the first time. The compounds were all characterized by MS, IR, 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy. 7,3′,5′-Tri- O-methyltricetin (7), precocene II (9), 3,5,7,4′-tetrahydroxyflavone (13) and 5,6,7,3′,4′,5′-hexamethoxyflavone (14) exhibited inhibitory activity on the P-388 cancer cell line with IC50 values of 12.8, 24.8, 3.5 and 7.8 μM respectively, while compound 9 exhibited inhibitory activity on the HT-29 cancer cell line with an IC50 value of 61μM; the others showed no significant cytotoxic activity on the cell lines tested.
