A new steroid glycoside, capelloside A (1), was isolated from the ethanolic extract of the starfish Ogmaster capella along with the previously known coscinasteroside B (2). The structures of 1 was elucidated by extensive NMR and ESI-MS techniques as (24 S)-24- O-(3- O-methyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl)-5α-cholestane-3β,6β,8,15α,24-pentol 15- O-sulfate (1). Compounds 1 and 2 decreased intracellular ROS (reactive oxygen species) levels in murine macrophages of the RAW 264.7 cell line at induction by endotoxic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from E. coli by 60% and 41%, correspondingly.

Three new polyhydroxysteroid glycosides, regulusosides A-C (1-3) along with the previously known five steroid compounds (4-8) were isolated from the tropical starfish Pentaceraster regulus. The structures of compounds 1-3 were established by extensive NMR and ESI-MS techniques. New glycosides have the same aglycon, (24 S)-5α-cholestane-3β,5,6β,8,15α,24-hexol, and various disaccharide moieties: β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-3- O-methyl-α-L-arabinofuranosyl (1), β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinofuranosyl (2), and 2- O-methyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-3- O-methyl-α-L-arabinofuranosyl (3), attached at C-24 of the side chain. Compounds 1, 2 and 6 exhibit potential immunomodulatory properties, inducing intracellular ROS (reactive oxygen species) formation in the RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells.

Background and aims: Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) can be tightly connected to metabolism syndrome (MetS) which can be counted as a metabolic indicator in the case of insulin resistance (IR). The aim of this study was to assess the potential role of these acids under oxidative stress. Material and Methods: the in vitro antioxidant activity of BCAAs was assessed using free radical 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assays. For further check, a qRT-PCR technique was madefor detection the extent of alterations in gene expression of antioxidative enzymes (catalase and glutathione peroxidase (Gpx)) in lipopolysaccharides (LPS(-induced macrophages RAW 264.7 cell line. Additionally, BCAAs antioxidant activity was evaluated based on plasma H2O2 levels and xanthine oxidase (XO) activity in prooxidative LPS-treated mice. Results: Different concentrations of BCAAs affected on DPPH radical scavenging activity but to lesser extent than the ascorbic acid. Besides, BCAAs obviously upregulated the gene expression levels of catalases and Gpx in LPS-modulated macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line. In vivo BCAAs significantly minimized the level of plasma H2O2 as well as the activity of XO activity under oxidative stress. Conclusion: our current findings suggest that BCAAs supplementation may potentially serve as a therapeutic target for treatment of oxidative stress occurs with atherosclerosis, IR-diabetes, MetS and tumorigenesis.

Among them, compounds 6, 7 and 16 were isolated from a natural source for the first time. Compounds 2, 4 and 14 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity against nitrite of LPS-stimulated production in the RAW 264.7 cell line.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Extracellular H2O2 generation from bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (EC) is known to increase in response to anoxia-reoxygenation (A-R). To determine potential sources of intracellular ROS formation in EC in response to A-R, a fluorometric assay based on the oxidation of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin was used. Intracellular ROS production declined 40% during 6 h of anoxia (P < 0.05). After A-R, the rates of intracellular ROS formation increased to 148 +/- 9% (P < 0.001) that of normoxic EC (100 +/- 3%). In EC exposed to A-R, allopurinol and NG-methyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), inhibitors of xanthine oxidase (XO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS), respectively, reduced intracellular ROS formation by 25 +/- 1% (P < 0.001) and 36 +/- 4% (P < 0.01). Furthermore, at low doses (i.e., 20 microM), deferoxamine and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) significantly inhibited intracellular ROS formation. However, at 100 microM, only deferoxamine caused further reduction in DCF fluorescence. In summary, EC respond to A-R by generating increased amounts of XO- and NOS-derived intracellular ROS. The inhibition, to a similar extent, caused by allopurinol and L-NMMA, as well as the effect of deferoxamine and DTPA suggest that the ROS detected is peroxynitrite. Based on these findings and previous work, we conclude that EC generate ROS in response to A-R from at least two different sources: a plasma membrane-bound NADPH oxidase-like enzyme that releases H2O2 extracellularly and XO, which generates intracellular O2-, which in turn may react with nitric oxide to form peroxynitrite.
