New terpendoles N-P (1–3) were isolated along with 8 structurally related known compounds including terpendoles and voluhemins from a culture broth of the fungus Volutella citrinella BF-0440. The structures of 1–3 were elucidated using various spectroscopic experiments including 1D- and 2D-NMR. All compounds 1–3 contained a common indole–diterpene backbone. Compounds 2 and 3 had 7 and 6 consecutive ring systems with an indole ring, respectively, whereas 1 had a unique indolinone plus 4 consecutive ring system. Compounds 2 and 3 inhibited both sterol O-acyltransferase 1 and 2 isozymes, but 1 lost the inhibitory activity. Structure–activity relationships of fungal indole–diterpene compounds are discussed.

Blood Sucking

The saliva of blood-sucking leeches contains a plethora of anticoagulant substances. One of these compounds derived from Haementeria ghilianii, the 66mer three-disulfide-bonded peptide tridegin, specifically inhibits the blood coagulation factor FXIIIa. Tridegin represents a potential tool for antithrombotic and thrombolytic therapy. We recently synthesized two-disulfide-bonded tridegin variants, which retained their inhibitory potential. For further lead optimization, however, structure information is required. We thus analyzed the structure of a two-disulfide-bonded tridegin isomer by solution 2D NMR spectroscopy in a combinatory approach with subsequent MD simulations. The isomer was studied using two fragments, i.e., the disulfide-bonded N-terminal (Lys1–Cys37) and the flexible C-terminal part (Arg38–Glu66), which allowed for a simplified, label-free NMR-structure elucidation of the 66mer peptide. The structural information was subsequently used in molecular modeling and docking studies to provide insights into the structure–activity relationships. The present study will prospectively support the development of anticoagulant-therapy-relevant compounds targeting FXIIIa.

Proteasome inhibitors are useful for biochemical research and clinical treatment. In our previous study, we reported that the 4N-coordinated platinum complexes with anthracenyl ring and heterocycle exhibited proteasome-inhibitory activity. In the present study, the structure–activity relationships and characterization of these complexes were determined for the elucidation of the role of aromatic ligands. Lineweaver–Burk analysis revealed that the chemical structure of heterocycles affects the binding mode of platinum complexes. Platinum complexes with anthracenyl ring and pyridine showed competitive inhibition, although platinum complexes with anthracenyl ring and phenanthroline showed non-competitive inhibition. The structure–activity relationships demonstrated that anthracenyl moiety plays a crucial role in proteasome-inhibitory activity. The platinum complexes with naphthyl or phenyl rings exhibited lower inhibitory activities than the platinum complex with anthracenyl ring. The reactivity with N-acetylcysteine varied according to the chemical structure of complexes.

Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors

Diospyros dumetorum is an important folk medicine for treating pulmonary abscess and inflammation. The leaves of D. dumetorum revealed xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activity. With the guidance of UFLC-MS-IT-TOF analyses combined with bioassay in vitro, 15 flavonoids were isolated from the active parts of D. dumetorum. Except for 11 (IC50 > 200μM), all compounds showed obvious XOD inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 32.5 ± 0.7 ~ 145.0 ± 3.3 μM. The preliminary structure-activity relationships study suggested that glycosylation on C-3 was unfavorable for XOD inhibitory activity; hydroxyl groups on ring B were essential for maintaining activity; the activity was closely related with the position of galloylation. This is the first recognition of the XOD inhibitory activity and active constituents of D. dumetorum, and will provide valuable information for this plant as a new resource for treating hyperuricemia and gout.
