Introduction: Bruguiera cylindrica is one of the mangrove plants belonging to Bruguiera genus. This genus is characterized by the presence of a large number of compounds, but the research on bioactivities has not been investigated so far. In the present research, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, as well as chemical constituents of the ethyl acetate extract of this plant, were studied. Methods: The chemical structures of two new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic and computational methods. Results: Two new compounds, benzobrugierol (1) and bruguierine (2), were isolated from leaves of Bruguiera cylindrica (L.) Blume, together with nine known ones, including lupeol (3), betulin (4), chrysoeriol (5), glut-5-ene-3-ol (6), cholesta-4-ene-3-one (7), 3α-(Z)-coumaroyllupeol (8), 3α-(E)-coumaroyllupeol (9), 3β-hydroxycholesta-5-ene-7-one (10) and β-sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (11). Extracts and some isolated compounds were evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Conclusion: The results showed that most of the extracts and tested compounds exhibited activities better than the positive control acarbose, especially two new compounds 1 and 2 with their IC50 values of 17.9 ± 0.4 and 34.6 ± 0.7 (mg/mL), respectively.

Taxotrophis ilicifolius, called "Gai quít" in Vietnam, belonged to the family of Moraceae. The stems of T. ilicifolius are used in traditional medicine to cure pimples, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial... By column chromatography method together with thin layer chromatography on the ethyl acetate extract of its stems, six compounds were isolated including wogonin (1), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (2), vanillic acid (3), vanillin (4), syringic acid (5), and syringaldehyde (6). Their chemical structures were elucidated by extensive NMR spectroscopic analysis and comparison with the literature data. The isolated compounds were tested fora-glucosidase inhibitory activity. All compounds showed more potent inhibitory activity with IC50 values 42–142 mM, than that of a positive control acarbose (IC50, 214.5 mM). Among all isolates, compounds 2, 4 and 6 exhibited significant a-glucosidase inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 49.7, 42.6 and 55.9 mM, respectively. From the present investigation, all these compounds were isolated for the first time as well as their a-glucosidase inhibitoryactivity of T. ilicifolius. These results suggested that the traditional use of T. ilicifolius for the treatment of diabetes disease in Vietnam may be due to thea-glucosidase inhibitory activity of its phenolic constituents.

The present study aimed to identify the chemical constituents and to assess the in-vitro, antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, metabolic enzymes and cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitory properties of essential oil (EO) of Stachys viticina Boiss. leaves. The S. viticina EO was isolated and identified using microwave-ultrasonic and GC-MS techniques, respectively. Fifty-two compounds were identified, of which endo-borneol was the major component, followed by eucalyptol and epizonarene. The EO was evaluated against a panel of in-vitro bioassays. The EO displayed antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli and Epidermophyton floccosum, with MIC values of 0.039, 0.078 and 0.78 mg/mL, respectively. The EO exhibited cytotoxicity against HeLa (cervical adenocarcinoma) and Colo-205 (colon) cancer cell lines with percentages of inhibition of 95% and 90%, for EO concentrations of 1.25 and 0.5 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, it showed metabolic enzyme (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and lipase) inhibitory (IC50 = 45.22 ± 1.1, 63.09 ± 0.26, 501.18 ± 0.38 µg/mL, respectively) and antioxidant activity, with an IC50 value of 19.95 ± 2.08 µg/mL. Moreover, the S. viticina EO showed high cyclooxygenase inhibitory activity against COX-1 and COX-2 with IC50 values of 0.25 and 0.5 µg/mL, respectively, similar to those of the positive control (the NSAID etodolac). Outcomes amassed from this investigation illustrate that S. viticina EO represents a rich source of pharmacologically active molecules which can be further validated and explored clinically for its therapeutic potential and for the development and design of new natural therapeutic preparations.

TNBC, one of the sub type of breast cancers was widely known with high tumorigenic and poor prognosis than others. The development of combination agent (co-chemotherapy) with doxorubicin for chemotherapy of TNBC were carried out to decrease doxorubicin side effect and resistance in cancer. This present study aims to explore the co-chemotherapeutic properties of PGV-0 and investigate induction of doxorubicin on apoptosis, senescence and ROS against TNBC. 4T1 Cell line were used as a TNBC in vitro model. Cytotoxic measurement was performed using MTT assay resulting in IC50 values of 52 μM. Meanwhile, the combination of doxorubicin and PGV-0 showed synergistic effect which decreased cell viability of 4T1 better than single treatment of doxorubicin. Apoptosis analysis was performed using annexin V/PI assay indicated that the combination treatment of PGV-0 and doxorubicin increased apoptosis evidence. Senescence detection was carried out using senescence-associated-β galactosidase (SA-β-gal) assay. The results showed that a single treatment of PGV-0 induced cellular senescence and increased senescence cells in combination treatment. Moreover, DCFDA staining showed that PGV-0 increased ROS level at single treatment, whereas combination treatment increased ROS intracellular compared to the positive control of doxorubicin. Based on these results, PGV-0 has potential as a co-chemotherapeutic candidate on TNBC.Keyword: 4T1, PGV-0, Co-chemotherapy, Cytotoxic, Senescence, Apoptosis, ROS

Background: A therapeutic approach to treat diabetes is to decrease postprandial hyperglycemia. α-Glucosidase inhibitors from plant sources offer an attractive strategy for the control of hyperglycemia. Smilax glabra Roxb is a medicinal plant found in Asia, including Vietnam, which is used in the treatment of chronic diseases. However, the antidiabetic activity and the identification of α-glucosidase inhibitors from this plant have not been intensively investigated. This research was carried out to determine the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the extracts and that of the major phytochemical components of Smilax glabra Roxb. This could lead to further studies on the role of these compounds in hyperglycemia control, as well as identify their potential future applications. Methods: Column chromatography combined with crystallization procedures were used to isolate active fractions and two major compounds. The chemical structures of these compounds were determined by analysis of their NMR spectroscopic data, as well as MS data and comparisons made with the literature data. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was determined spectrophotometrically using p-nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside as a substrate. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds and fractions was determined using the MTT assay. Results: The two major compounds, astilbin and 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid together with two very active fractions, F7 and F8, were isolated from the rhizome. The two major compounds had α- glucosidase inhibitory activities with IC50 values of ca. 125 µg/mL and 38 µg/mL, respectively which are about 4 and 13 folds higher activity than the reference compound acarbose (IC50 of ca. 525 µg/mL). Fractions F7 and F8 showed very promising inhibitory activities towards α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 5.5 and 5.8 µg/mL, respectively. Cytotoxicity data on mouse fibroblast NIH3T3 cells indicated that the active compounds and fractions were not toxic at concentrations that are greater than their respective IC50 values. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 5-Ocaffeoylshikimic acid and that of the two active fractions are reported here for the first time. Conclusion: The two major isolated compounds and fractions, F7 and F8, significantly contribute to the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of S. glabra Roxb extract. Further work is needed to clarify their modes of action and potential application.
