Oleanane Triterpenoid

Chemical constituents of the dried aerial parts of Euphorbia nematocypha were investigated. A new oleanane triterpenoid, trans, trans-2′,4′-hexadienedioicacid-1′-β-amyrin ester (1), together with, β-amyrin (2), β-amyrin acetate (3), betulinic acid (4), ellagic acid (5), oleanolic acid (6), β-sitosterol (7), kaempferol (8), quercetin (9), lupeol (10) and pseudo-taraxasterol (11) were isolated from the methylene chloride extract. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic (1D- & 2D-NMR) and ESI-MS analysis and comparison with data reported in the literature. The new isolated triterpenoid showed moderate cytotoxic activities against HeLa and MCF-7cell lines.

Background: Typhoid fever is a major health burden in Sub-Saharan Africa. Conventional anti-typhoid drugs are becoming more and more unavailable to most patients in Africa due to the increased costs and emerging drug resistance. Therefore, there is a need for discovery of new antimicrobial agents to combat typhoid fever. Objective: This work aimed to investigate the bioactive components in Cyperus sphacelatus Rottb. (Cyperaceae) and test the antisalmonellal activity of the isolated compounds. Methods: Compound purification was done through column chromatography. Structure elucidation was accomplished based on the 1D and 2D NMR, IR and mass spectra. The biological assay was done using five bacterial strains, including Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica sérovars Typhi ATCC 6539 (STS), S. enterica subsp. enterica sérovars Typhi (ST), S. enteritidis (STE), S. enterica subsp. enterica sérovars Typhimurim (STM), and a resistant isolate of S. enterica subsp. enterica sérovars Typhi (ST566). Results: Three natural products were isolated from the methylene chloride extract of the rhizomes of C. sphacelatus, including a new furanoquinone, scabequinon-6(14)-ene (1) and two known compounds, cyperotundone (2) and vanillin (3). Compound 1 showed moderate antisalmonellal activity, with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 32 µg/mL against STM and STS. The best inhibitory result was obtained with compound 2 on STM with a MIC of 8 µg/mL. Compound 2 also gave the best minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 32 µg/mL on the STM strain. Conclusion: Discovery of the three antisalmonellal compounds from C. sphacelatus supports the addition of this plant to typhoid fever preparations.

A new oleanolic acid triterpene glucoside, 3- O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3β,21β,28-trihydroxy-olean-12-en-27-oic acid (1), has been isolated together with twelve known compounds from the chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts of Genista numidica Spach (Fabaceae) aerial parts. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses, mainly 1D-, 2D-NMR and MS data, and comparison with the literature. The antiproliferative activity of isolates was investigated on Jurkat, HeLa, and MCF7 cell lines. The most active triterpene, 3- O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-olean-12-en-3β,27,28,29-tetraol, showed activity in all cell lines. Further studies revealed that this compound induced in HeLa cells a cytostatic response.

The aerial parts of Geranium potentillaefoium afforded geraniin (1), corilagin (2), gallic acid (4), methyl gallate (6), methyl brevifolincarboxylate (7), quercetin, quercetin 3- O-β-D-glucopyranoside, quercetin 3- O-β-D-[6″- O-galloyl)glucopyranoside, kaempferol, β-sitosterol 3- O-β-D-glucopyranoside and β-sitosterol, while the aerial parts of G. bellum gave the same compounds in addition to kaempferol 3- O-β-D-glucopyranoside, isolated instead of kaempferol. The substances were identified by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy in comparison with published data. The water decoction preparations from air-dried plant materials (2.5 g) contain ca. 4.6 % of the ellagitannin 1, envisaging that when such decoction is ingested (250 mL), a therapeutic dose of ca. 36 mg of the antitumor ellagic acid (3) may be incorporated into the organism.

Phytochemical Components

Panax bipinnatifidus Seem. (Araliaceae), 1 of 11 kinds of ginseng ( Panax spp.), has been used in traditional medicine but there are very few publications regarding its chemical constituents. This first study on phytochemical components in the aerial parts of the title ginseng led to the isolation of 7 oleanane-type saponins (1-7) including 1 new compound (1), together with hemsloside H1 (2), stipuleanoside R1 (3), stipuleanoside R2 (4), araloside A (5), and oleanolic acid 28- O-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (6), and 3- O-[β-d-xylopyranosyl(1→2)-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl]oleanolic acid 28- O-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (7), respectively. The structure of the new saponin was elucidated as 3- O-{β-d-xylopyranosyl(1→3)-[α-l-arabinofuranosyl(1→4)]-β-d-glucopyranosyl}oleanolic acid 28- O-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (1) on the basis of extensive evidence of chemical and spectroscopic experiments. The obtained results significantly contribute to the phytochemical database of P. bipinnatifidus associated with the chemotaxonomic meaning of P. bipinnatifidus and Panax spp.

Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Pteris cretica led to the isolation and elucidation of nine pterosins, including four new pterosins, creticolacton A (1), 13-hydroxy-2(R),3(R)-pterosin L (2), creticoside A (3), and spelosin 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), together with five known pterosins 5–9. Their structures were identified mainly on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectral data, ESI-MS and literature comparisons. Compounds 1 and 3 were new type of petrosins with a six membered ring between C-14 and C-15. The new compounds were tested in vitro for their cytotoxic activities against four human tumor cell lines (SH-SY5Y, SGC-7901, HCT-116, Lovo). Results showed that compounds 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity against HCT-116 cells with IC50 value of 22.4 μM and 15.8 μM, respectively.

AbstractTargeted isolation based on a combination of NMR and HPLC-PDA-MS of a dichloromethane extract of Thymus vulgaris Varico 3 aerial parts afforded one new p-cymene dimer, 6,3′,4′-trihydroxy-5,5′-diisopropyl-2,2′-dimethylbiphenyl (1), together with two known p-cymene derivatives (2 and 3), as well as five known compounds, namely, thymol (4), oleanolic acid (5), ursolic acid (6), cirsimaritin (7), and xanthomicrol (8). The structural elucidation of all compounds was performed by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR, and HRESIMS experiments. The biphenyls were assayed for their inhibitory activity on tyrosinase. Compounds 2 and 3 showed negligible activity on tyrosinase, while compound 1 effectively inhibited the enzyme with 35% (± 0.3) inhibitory activity, higher than the inhibition of the reference compound kojic acid (18.6 ± 0.02).
