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.

Three new oleanane saponins (1–3), together with four known ones (4–7), were isolated from the aerial parts of Polyscias guilfoylei. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR experiments, including 1D TOCSY, DQF-COSY, ROESY, HSQC, and HMBC spectroscopy, as well as ESIMS analysis. The antiproliferative activity of all compounds was evaluated using three murine and human cancer cell lines; J774.A1, HEK-293, and WEHI-164. All the compounds were inactive except for 3β- O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl]-echinocystic acid 28-[ O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6) O-β-D-glucopyranosyl] ester (3), which was active against all the cell lines.

The present study focuses on the chemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative activities of the ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts obtained from the aerial parts of Cytisus villosus Pourr. HPLC-DAD-ESI/MSn was used to identify the phenolic compounds, being (epi)gallocatechin dimer the major compound (111 ± 5 µg/g·dw) in the aqueous extract, while myricetin-O-rhamnoside (226 ± 9 µg/g·dw) was the main molecule in the ethyl acetate extract. Both extracts exhibited good scavenging activities against DPPH radical (EC50 µg/mL of 59 ± 2 and 31 ± 2 for aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts, respectively). However, the ethyl acetate extract demonstrated more potent quenching activities than the aqueous extract. The antimicrobial activities were assessed on selected Gram-positive (Staphylococcus epidermidis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria, as well as on pathogenic fungus Candida glabrata. The extracts possessed selective and potent antimicrobial activities against the Gram-positive bacterium (IC50 of 186 ± 9 μg/mL and 92 ± 3 μg/mL for aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts, respectively). Finally, C. villosus extracts were evaluated for their antiproliferative potential on three human cancer cell lines representing breast and colon cancers. Although both extracts demonstrated sufficient growth inhibition of the three different cell lines, the ethyl acetate extract exhibited higher activity (LD50 values of 1.57 ± 0.06 mg/mL, 2.2 ± 0.1 mg/mL, and 3.2 ± 0.2 mg/mL for T47D, MCF-7, and HCT-116 cell lines). Both the extracts obtained from the aerial parts of C. villosus revealed very promising results and could be applied as functional agents in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical industries.

Two new glycosides of 30-normedicagenic acid, namely 3- O-[ β-D-glucuronopyranosyl methyl ester]-2 β,3 β-dihydroxy-30-noroleane-12,20(29)-diene-23,28-dioic acid 28- O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester, and 3- O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2 β,3 β-dihydroxy-30-noroleane-12,20(29)-diene-23,28-dioic acid, together with the known 3- O-β-glucopyranosyl-2 β,3 β-dihydroxy-30-noroleane-12,20(29)-diene-23,28-dioic acid 28- O-β-glucopyranosyl ester, and 3- O-β-glucuronopyranosyl-2 β,3 β-dihydroxy-30-noroleane-12,20(29)-diene-23,28-dioic acid 28- O-β-glucopyranosyl ester were isolated from the aerial parts of Chenopodium foliosum Asch. The structures of the compounds were determined by means of spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D NMR, UV, IR) and HRMS-ESI. The compounds were tested for cytotoxicity on three leukemic cell lines (BV-173, SKW-3, HL-60). In addition, the saponins showed moderate stimulatory effects on interleukin-2 production in PHA/PMA stimulated Jurkat E6.1 cells.

Anvillea garcinii is a medicinal plant used in the Arab region for intestinal diseases, lung and liver diseases, digestive problems, and as an antidiabetic agent. Repeated chromatographic purifications of A. garcinii leaves led to the isolation of three undescribed guaiane sesquiterpene derivatives, named garcinamines F–H, characterized by the presence of an amino acid unit, along with five known sesquiterpene lactones (garcinamines B–E and 9β-hydroxyparthenolide). The structures of the new compounds were established using spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR) and spectrometric methods (ESIMS). Garcinamine H possesses a double bond at the Δ1,10 position, a structural feature rarely reported in guaianolide-type sesquiterpenes. The antiproliferative activity of the isolated sesquiterpenes was screened against three different cancer cell lines, and 9β-hydroxyparthenolide and garcinamines C and D displayed significant effects against lung carcinoma (A549), colon carcinoma (LoVo), and breast carcinoma (MCF7) cell lines.

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).

Abstract Seven flavonoids isolated from chloroform , ethyl acetate and butanol extracts, obtained from the aerial parts of Retama sphaerocarpa, have been assessed for cytotoxic activity against three human cancer cell lines: TK-10 (renal adenocarcinom a), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinom a) and UACC-62 (m elanom a), using the SRB assay. All of them , extracts and flavonoids, were actives in, at least, one of the three cell lines at the recom m ended N ational C ancer Institute doses. They produce a d ose-dependent inhibition of cell grow th at concentrations in the 10-6-10-4 ᴍ and 25 -250 μg/ml range for the flavonoids and extracts respectively, being the flavonol rhamnazin the most cytotoxic.

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.

Eupatorium odoratum (EO)contains many biologically active compounds, the anticancer effects of which are not well documented. This study evaluates the cytotoxic effects and mechanism of action ofEOextracts on MCF-7 and Vero cell lines. Evaluation of the cytotoxic activity using MTT assay, morphological alterations, and apoptosis were carried out. Autophagy was evaluated by LC3-A protein expression. Cytotoxic activity, membrane blebbing and ballooning at 24 hours, replacement by mass vacuolation, and double membrane vesicles mimicking autophagy and cell death were observed in the cancer cells. No apoptosis was observed by DNA fragmentation assay. Overexpression of LC3-A protein indicated autophagic cell death. Cell cycle analysis showed G0 and G2/M arrest. The Vero cells did not show significant cell death at concentrations <100 μg/mL. These results thus suggest that acetone and ethyl acetate extracts ofEOinduce cell death through induction of autophagy and hold potential for development as potential anticancer drugs.
