Three new 11,20-epoxybriaranes—fragilides U–W (1–3), as well as two known metabolites, junceellonoid D (4) and junceellin (5), were obtained from the octocoral Junceella fragilis. The structures of briaranes 1–3 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and briaranes 3 and 5 displayed inhibition effects on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) release from RAW264.7.

Our continuous chemical study of a cultured octocoral Briareum stechei led to the isolation of four new briarane diterpenoids, briarenols Q–T (1–4). The structures of new metabolites 1–4 were established by spectroscopic methods, and compounds 3 and 4 were found to inhibit the generation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) from RAW 264.7 stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS).

A known polyoxygenated briarane, briaexcavatolide P (1), was isolated from a Formosan octocoral Briareum stechei. Moreover, the same species B. stechei, collected from Okinawan waters, yielded three chlorine-containing briaranes, including two new compounds, briastecholides B (2) and C (3) as well as a known analogue, briarenol R (4). The structures of 1–4 were established using spectroscopic methods. In addition, briarane 1 demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in lipo-polysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cells by suppressing the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein.

A new natural marine nor-sesquiterpenoid, (+)-pathylactone A (1), along with a know nor-sesquiterpenoid, napalilactoe (2), were isolated from the octocoral Paralemnalia thyrsoides. The structure of 1 was established on the basis of spectroscopic methods and by comparison of the spectral data with those of synthetic analogues. Nor-sesquiterpenoid 1 was found to inhibit the protein experssion of pro-inflammatory inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in a murine macrophage-like cell line.

Background: Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative bacterium related to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric carcinoma. During its infection process, promotes excessive inflammatory response, increasing the release of reactive species and inducing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) plays a crucial role in the gastric carcinogenesis process and a key mediator of inflammation and host defense systems, which is expressed in macrophages induced by inflammatory stimuli. In chronic diseases such as Helicobacter pylori infections, the overproduction of NO due to the prolonged induction of iNOS is of major concern. Objective: In this sense, the search for potential iNOS inhibitors is a valuable strategy in the overall process of Helicobacter pylori pathogeny. Method: In silico techniques were applied in the search of interesting compounds against Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase enzyme in a chemical space of natural products and derivatives from the Analyticon Discovery databases. Results: The five compounds with the best iNOS inhibition profile were selected for activity and toxicity predictions. Compound 9 (CAS 88198-99-6) displayed significant potential for iNOS inhibition, forming hydrogen bonds with residues from the active site and an ionic interaction with heme. This compound also displayed good bioavailability and absence of toxicity/or from its probable metabolites. Conclusion: The top-ranked compounds from the virtual screening workflow show promising results regarding the iNOS inhibition profile. The results evidenced the importance of the ionic bonding during docking selection, playing a crucial role in binding and positioning during ligand-target selection for iNOS.
