Abstract Chemical investigation of the Red Sea soft coral Sarcophyton glaucom collected at the coasts of Hurghada, Egypt, led to the isolation of one new naturally occurring 4-oxo-1,1′-pentanoic acid anhydride (1), along with four diterpenes; sarcophinone (2a), 8-epi-sarcophinone (2b), (+)-7α,8β-dihydroxydeepoxysarcophine (3), sinumaximol G (4), (+)-sarcophine (5), sesquiterpene; prostantherol (6), sterol; 3β,24S-ergost-5-en-ol (7) and hexadecanoic acid. The structures of the obtained compounds were established using diverse spectroscopic techniques including 1D and 2D NMR and HRMS. Biologically, in vitro cytotoxic activities of diterpenes 2–5 and prostantherol (6) were studied against the liver cancer HEPG2 cell line in comparison with the soft coral extract and doxorubicin as reference (IC50: 4.28 μg/mL). Compounds 2–6 exhibited potent–moderate cytotoxicity of IC50 between 9.97 μg/mL [for sinumaximol G (4)] and 17.84 μg/mL [for (+)-7α,8β-dihydroxydeepoxysarcophine (3)], whereas that for soft coral extract was determined at 24.71 μg/mL.

Abstract From the green alga Avrainvillea amadelpha, two new naturally halo-benzaldehyde derivatives were isolated by various chromatographic methods along with 10 known metabolites of bromophenols, sulfonoglycolipid, and steroids. Based on the 1D and 2D NMR spectra as well as on MS data, the structures of the new compounds were identified as 5-bromo-2-(3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzyl)-3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde named avrainvilleal (1), and 3-iodo-4-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (2). Using SRB assay, both compounds showed mild and weak cytotoxic activity against HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cell lines, compared to the good activity of their extract (IC50 values 3.1 and 4.3 μg/mL, respectively). However, avrainvilleal (1) displayed an effective scavenged DPPH radical activity with IC50 value 3.5 μM, compared to the antioxidant quercetin with IC50 value 1.5 μM.

With the ligands 4-phenyl-1-(furan-2-carbaldehyde)thiosemicarbazone, HTSC1, (1), 4-phenyl-1- (5´-phenyl-furan-2-carbaldehyde)thiosemicarbazone, HTSC2 (2), o-methoxy-benzaldehydethiosemicarbazone, HTSC3 (3), and o-cyano-benzaldehydethiosemicarbazone, HTSC4 (4), the corresponding palladium(II) complexes, Pd(TSC1)2 (5), Pd(TSC2)2 (6), Pd(TSC3)2 (7), and Pd(TSC4)2 (8) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of Pd(TSC3)2 (7) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 7 shows a squareplanar geometry, where two deprotonated ligands are coordinated to the PdII center through the nitrogen and sulfur atoms in a trans arrangement. In vitro antitumor studies against different human tumor cell lines have revealed that the palladium(II) complexes 5- 8 are more cytotoxic (IC50 values in the range of 0.21 - 3.79 μM) than their corresponding ligands (1 - 4) (> 60 μM). These results indicate that the antiproliferative activity is enhanced when thiosemicarbazone ligands are coordinated to the metal. Among the studied palladium(II) complexes, 8 exhibits high antitumor activity on K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia cells with a low value of the inhibitory concentration (IC50 = 0.21 μM).

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.

Abstract A new bidesmosidic furostanol saponin was isolated from leaves of Furcraea gigantea Vent. Its structure was established as 3-[(O-6-deoxy-α-L-mannopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-β -D-glucopyranosyl-( 1→3)-O-[O-β -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β -D-glucopyranosyl- (1→4)-β -D-galactopyranosyl)oxy]-(3β ,5α,15α,22α,25R)-26-(β -D-glucopyranosyloxy)-15,22-dihydroxy- furost-12-one. Its structural identification was performed using detailed analyses of 1H and 13C NMR spectra including 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques (DEPT, COSY, HETCOR and COLOC) and chemical conversions. The steroidal saponin showed no haemolytic effects in the in vitro assays and demonstrated inhibition of the capillary permeability activity.

The in vitro leishmanicidal effects of ethanolic extracts and fifteen naturally-occurring compounds (five lignans, eight neolignans, a diterpene and a dihydrochalcone), obtained from Pleurothyrium cinereum and Ocotea macrophylla, were evaluated on promastigotes of Leishmania panamensis and L. braziliensis. In addition, in order to determine the selective action on Leishmania species as a safety principle, in vitro cytotoxicity on J774 cells was also evaluated for test compounds and extracts. One extract and seven compounds showed activity against Leishmania parasites at different levels. Dihydroflavokawin B (8) was found to be the most potent antileishmanial compound on both parasites, whilst (+)-otobaphenol (14), was found to be the most selective compound on L. panamensis.

Two new p-terphenyl derivatives (1, 2), together with six known ones (3 - 8), have been isolated from the marine fungal strain Aspergillus sp. AF119. The structures for terphyl acid (1) and terphyl diacid (2) were determined on the basis of HR Q-TOF-MS, and 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic data. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of compounds 1 – 8 were tested against human tumor cell lines HeLa, HepG-2 and MDA-MB-435; only compounds 5 – 8 exhibited inhibitory activity against the tested cell lines with IC50 values < 20 μM. Moreover, compound 5 showed a mechanism of inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis mediated by the generation of ROS and subsequent DNA double-strand break.

A new complex triterpenoid saponin, polystachyasaponin, was isolated from leaves of Entada polystachya (L.) DC. (Leguminosae) by using chromatographic methods. Its structure was established as 15,16-dihydroxy-3-[[O-β -D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1→6)-2- (acetylamino)-2-deoxy-β -D-glucopyranosyl]oxy]-(3β ,15α,16α)-olean-12-en-28-oic acid O-D-apio- β -D-furanosyl-(1→3)-O-β -D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[β -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-6-O-[(2E,6R)- 6-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-1-oxo-2,7-octadienyl]-β -D-glucopyranosyl ester. Structural elucidation was performed using detailed analyses of 1H and 13C NMR spectra including 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques and chemical conversions. The hemolytic activity of the saponin was evaluated using in vitro assays, and its adjuvant potential on the cellular immune response against ovalbumin antigen was investigated using in vivo assays.

Antileishmanial Activities

Aloe ghibensis Sebsebe & Friis is traditionally used in Ethiopia for the treatment of various ailments including skin problem, wounds and malaria. Phytochemical constituents and antileshimanial properties of the leaf latex of A. ghibensis have not been reported. The objective of this study was, therefore, to determine the phytochemical constituents and in vitro antileishmanial activities of the leaf latex of A. ghibensis and its major compounds against two Leishmania species. Preparative TLC was used to isolate compounds from the leaf latex of A. ghibensis and spectroscopic techniques including 1D- and 2D-NMR as well as ESI-MS were employed to elucidate structures of the isolated compounds. In vitro antileishmanial activity was performed against promastigotes and axenically cultured amastigotes of Leishmania aethiopica and Leishmania donovani clinical isolates using Alamar Blue assay. Phytochemical investigation led to the isolation of two major anthrones, identified as aloin A/B and 7-hydroxyaloin A/B. Both the leaf latex of A. ghibensis and isolated compounds showed antileishmanial activity with IC50 values ranging from 1.6 ± 0.43 to 3.64 ± 0.09 µg/ml and 1.87 ± 0.21 to 3.72 ± 0.12 against promastigotes and axenically cultured amastigotes of L. aethopica and L. donovani, respectively. Moreover, the test substances were found to be less toxic (LC50 = 145 ± 0.72 to 156 ± 0.08 µg/ml) than amphotericin B (LC50 = 12.11 ± 0.51 µg/ml) towards human monocytic cell line (THP-1). The present study revealed that the latex and pure compounds possess genuine antileishmanial activity with high selectivity indices (SIs). Therefore, the isolated compounds can be used as a scaffold for the development of effective drugs for leishmaniasis.
