One new dolabellane (1) and two known diterpenoids stolonidiol (2) and clavinflol B (3) have been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the Indonesian soft coral Anthelia sp. A new compound 1 exhibited a moderate cytotoxicity against NBT-T2 cells at 10 µg/mL, while known compounds 2 and 3 showed cytotoxicity at 1 and 0.5 µg/mL, respectively. Structure of the new compound 1 was elucidated by interpretation of NMR spectroscopic data (1D and 2D NMR data) and mass spectrometry (ESIMS data) as well as comparison with those of related ones. This finding should be useful for anti cancer drug development of the promising dolabellane-types compound.

Phytochemical study of the roots of Erythrina senegalensis led to the isolation of a new α-sophoradiol glycoside, erythrinoside (1), together with four known compounds, lupeol (2), α-sophoradiol (3), isoneorautenol (4) and D-mannitol (5). The structures of the compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic data including 1D and 2D NMR, mass spectrometry and by comparison made with some data reported previously; the samples (extracts and compounds) were also subjected to antidiabetic assay. Erythrinoside and isoneorautenol exhibited good α-amylase inhibitory potential of 54.6% and 53.3%, respectively, compared to acarbose (72.5%) at 400 µg/mL. With α-glucosidase, all samples showed promising inhibition percentages above 50% at 200 µg/mL. In the α-glucosidase assay, the ethyl acetate extract (65.5%), methanol extract (72.1%), erythrinoside (63.3%) and isoneorautenol (66.0%) had percentage inhibitions closer to that of acarbose (69.0%) at 200 µg/mL. The methanol extract (IC50 = 81.2 ± 0.9 µg/mL) was more active than acarbose (IC50 = 94.5 ± 0.7 µg.mL) in the α-glucosidase assay. The inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase indicates that E. senegalensis extracts and compounds could be used to manage diabetic conditions.

Introduction: Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. (Malvaceae) is a medicinal plant popularly distributed in Asian countries. As of 2019, no chemical investigations from the Vietnamese plant were found. This paper reported the isolation and elucidation of compounds isolated from the seeds of Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. (Malvaceae) growing in Binh Thuan province. Method: The maceration was applied to the seeds of the plant to afford the crude extract which was then fractionated by liquid-liquid extraction to obtain the ethyl acetate extract. The extract was carried out by using normal phase silica gel column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Analysis of spectroscopic data including HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D-NMR and a comparison of the NMR data with that in the literature led to the structural elucidation of isolated compounds. Results: Four flavonols comprising quercetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), quercetin (3) and kaempferol (4) were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract. Conclusions: This is the first time the isolated compounds were found from the seeds of this plant.

Two new thiocarbamates (1 and 2) along with two known compounds have been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Moringa oleifera seeds. The new compounds were characterized as O-n-butyl-4-[(α-L-rhamnopyranosyloxy)benzyl] thiocarbamate (E) (1) and O-ethyl-4–[(α-L-rhamnopyranosyloxy)–3-hydroxybenzyl]thiocarbamate (E) (2) on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data and MS analysis.

Fractionation and purification of the ethyl acetate extract of the culture of a sponge-derived actinomycete, Streptomyces species Call-36, resulted in the isolation and identification of a new diketopiperazine, actinozine A (1), cyclo(2-OH-d-Pro-l-Leu) (2), two new nucleosides, thymidine-3-mercaptocarbamic acid (3) and thymidine-3-thioamine (4), together with cyclo(d-Pro-l-Phe) (5) and cyclo(l-Pro-l-Phe) (6). The structure assignments of the compounds were carried out by interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR data and mass spectral determinations. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by Marfey’s method and by comparison of the experimental and TDDFT-calculated ECD spectra. Actinozine A possesses an unprecedented hydroperoxy moiety at C-2 of the proline moiety, while 3 and 4 possess unusual mercaptocarbamic acid and thiohydroxylamine functionalities at N-3 of the thymine moiety. The isolated compounds displayed variable cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities.

ABSTRACTObjective: The objective of the study was to determine the anticancer efficacy of Orthosiphon stamineus extract against Michigan Cancer Foundation-7(MCF-7) and its phytochemical analysis through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).Methods: Different solvents were used for leaf extraction and used for qualitative assay of phytochemicals using standard protocols. Differentconcentration (12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/ml) of methanol extract and ethyl acetate extract of O. stamineus leaves were used to assess the in vitrocytotoxic effect using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Further, the ethyl acetate extract was subjected toGC-MS analysis, and the identification of components was based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology library database.Result: Of the hexane, methanol and ethyl acetate extracts, methanol extract found to contain more of phytochemicals followed by ethyl acetate. Theinhibitory concentration 50 for methanol extract and ethyl acetate extract was found be 93.42 μg/ml and 215.3 μg/ml, respectively.GC-MS mass spectrum of ethyl acetate extract revealed the presence of squalene and phytol and antioxidants such as flavones. Sterols compoundssuch as vitamin E, ergosterol, cholesterol, and 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol and terpenoids were also identified.Conclusion: The data obtained in this work could be useful as a chemical standard in checking the genuineness of this plant source. Data of the resultsfurther depicted that the selected traditional anti-cancer plants could be used not only as an anti-cancer but also as a good antioxidant.Keywords: Anti-cancer, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, Orthosiphon stamineus, Michigan cancer fsoundation-7cells.

: Thiophenes are one among the abundantly found heterocyclic ring systems in many biologically active compounds. Moreover various substituted thiophenes exert numerous pharmacological actions on account of their isosteric resemblance with compounds of natural origin thus rendering them with diverse actions like antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiallergic, hypotensives etc.. In this review we specifically explore the chemotherapeutic potential of variety of structures consisting of thiophene scaffolds as prospective anticancer agents.

The objective of this study was to create 3D engineered tissue models to accelerate identification of safe and efficacious breast cancer drug therapies. It is expected that this platform will dramatically reduce the time and costs associated with development and regulatory approval of anti-cancer therapies, currently a multi-billion dollar endeavor [1]. Existing two-dimensional (2D) in vitro and in vivo animal studies required for identification of effective cancer therapies account for much of the high costs of anti-cancer medications and health insurance premiums borne by patients, many of whom cannot afford it. An emerging paradigm in pharmaceutical drug development is the use of three-dimensional (3D) cell/biomaterial models that will accurately screen novel therapeutic compounds, repurpose existing compounds and terminate ineffective ones. In particular, identification of effective chemotherapies for breast cancer are anticipated to occur more quickly in 3D in vitro models than 2D in vitro environments and in vivo animal models, neither of which accurately mimic natural human tumor environments [2]. Moreover, these 3D models can be multi-cellular and designed with extracellular matrix (ECM) function and mechanical properties similar to that of natural in vivo cancer environments [3].
