Chemical investigation of the stem bark of Saraca indica has resulted in the isolation of a new lignan glycoside, saracoside, along with four known lignan glycosides lyoniside, icariside E3, (+)5′methoxyisolarciresinol-9′- O-β-D-glucopyranoside and nudiposide, and a phenolic glucopyranoside, 3,4,5– trimethoxyphenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, which has been isolated for the first time from this species. The isolated lignan glycosides exhibit potent DNA topoisomerase IB inhibitory activity.

Chemical investigation of the stem bark and leaves of Putranjiva roxburghii has resulted in the isolation of a new ellagic acid glycoside (5) along with four saponins (1-4). The structures of the isolated compounds were established by detailed spectral analysis. Incidentally putranoside-A methyl ester (4) has been isolated for the first time from this species and the saponins (1-4) exhibited potent DNA topoisomerase IB inhibitory activity.

Chemical investigation of the stem bark of Anthocephalus cadamba has resulted in the isolation of anthocephaline (1), a new indole alkaloid, along with strictosamide (2), vincosamide (3) and cadambine (4). The structures of the isolated alkaloids (1-4) were established by detailed 2D NMR spectral analysis. Cadambine (4) exhibited potent DNA topoisomerase IB inhibitory activity.

Chemical investigation of an acidic methanol extract of the whole plants of D. metel resulted in the isolation of five compounds, including kaempferol 3-O-beta-D-glucosyl(1->2)-beta-D-galactoside 7-O-beta-D-glucoside (1), kaempferol 3-O-beta-glucopyranosyl(1->2)-beta-glucopyranoside-7-O-alpha-rhamnopyranoside (2), pinoresinol O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), (7R,8S,7'S,8'R)-4,9,4',7'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-7,9'-epoxylignan-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), and (7S,8R,7'S,8'S)-4,9,4',7'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-7,9'-epoxylignan-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses as well as comparing with the data reported in the literature. The absolute configurations of compounds 4 and 5 were determined by CD spectra. It is noted that (7R,8S,7'S,8'R)-4,9,4',7'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-7,9'-epoxylignan-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside and (7S,8R,7'S,8'S)-4,9,4',7'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-7,9'-epoxylignan-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside were isolated for the first time from the Datura genus.

Seven new compounds, including three benzoic acid allopyranosides keteleeroside A (1), keteleeroside B (2) and keteleeroside C (3), and four lignan glycosides 3’-demethylicariside E3 (4), isocupressoside B (5), 3-methoxyisocupressoside B (6), and isomassonianoside B (7), along with five known compounds (8 - 12), were isolated from the n-butanol part of the methanolic extract of the twigs of Keteleeria evelyniana. The structures of these compounds were elucidated mainly by the analysis of their NMR and MS data. All compounds were isolated from this genus for the first time. The skeleton of lignan glycoside 4 was isolated from the Pinaceae family for the first time. All compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus, and their cytotoxic activity against K562, HT-29, B16, BGC-823, BEL-7402, SGC-7901, U251, and A549 cancer cell lines was studied. Results indicated that none of the compounds showed antimicrobial or cytotoxic activity.

Human DNA topoisomerase IB controls the topological state of supercoiled DNA through a complex catalytic cycle that consists of cleavage and religation reactions, allowing the progression of fundamental DNA metabolism. The catalytic steps of human DNA topoisomerase IB were analyzed in the presence of a drug, obtained by the open-access drug bank Medicines for Malaria Venture. The experiments indicate that the compound strongly and irreversibly inhibits the cleavage step of the enzyme reaction and reduces the cell viability of three different cancer cell lines. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the drug binds to the human DNA topoisomerase IB-DNA complex sitting inside the catalytic site of the enzyme, providing a molecular explanation for the cleavage-inhibition effect. For all these reasons, the aforementioned drug could be a possible lead compound for the development of an efficient anti-tumor molecule targeting human DNA topoisomerase IB.

The fatty acids (±)-2-methoxy-6Z-heptadecenoic acid, (±)-2-methoxy-6-hepta-decynoic acid, and (±)-2-methoxyheptadecanoic acid were synthesized and their inhibitory activity against the Leishmania DNA topoisomerase IB enzyme (LdTopIB) determined. Both 2-OMe-17:1 fatty acids were synthesized from 4-bromo-1-pentanol, the olefinic fatty acid in 10 steps and in 7 % overall yield, while the acetylenic fatty acid in 7 steps and in 14 % overall yield. The 2-OMe-17:0 acid was prepared in 6 steps and in 42 % yield from 1-hexa-decanol. The 2-OMe-17:1 acids inhibited LdTopIB, with the acetylenic acid displaying an EC50 = 16.6 ± 1.1 μM, but the 2-OMe-17:0 acid did not inhibit LdTopIB. The (±)-2-methoxy-6Z-heptadecenoic acid preferentially inhibited LdTopIB over the human TopIB enzyme. Unsaturation seems to be a prerequisite for effective inhibition, rationalized in terms of weak intermolecular interactions between the active site of LdTopIB and either the double or triple bonds of the fatty acids. Toxicity toward Leishmania donovani promastigotes was also investigated, resulting in the order acetylenic > olefinic > saturated with the (±)-2-methoxy-6-heptadecynoic acid displaying an EC50 = 74.0 ± 17.1 μM. Our results indicate that α-methoxylation decreases the toxicity of C17:1 fatty acids toward L. donovani promastigotes, but improves their selectivity index.
