Morus alba L., also known as white mulberry or Mhon, has long been used in traditional medicines. This study was aimed to investigate anti-inflammatory activities of mulberry stem ethanolic extract (MSE) in lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line. The MSE was first prepared and then investigated for cell viability using the MTT assay. The anti-inflammatory activities were investigated through the inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase- (COX-) 2 mRNA expression, and iNOS protein expression using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay and immunoblotting analysis, respectively. The inhibition of nitric oxide production of the MSE was also investigated using the Griess reaction assay. The MSE concentration ranging from 10 to 40 µg/ml yielded cell viability higher than 80%. The MSE at concentrations of 20 and 40 µg/ml demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity through the inhibition of nitric oxide production via suppression of both the iNOS mRNA and protein. It was also found to inhibit the expression of COX-2 mRNA in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. This study is the first to report the anti-inflammatory potential of the extract prepared from the stem of mulberry.

AbstractThree previously undescribed natural products, phomopsinin A – C (1 – 3), together with three known compounds, namely, cis-hydroxymellein (4), phomoxanthone A (5) and cytochalasin L-696,474 (6), were isolated from the solid culture of Phomopsis sp. CAM212, an endophytic fungus obtained from Garcinia xanthochymus. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data, including IR, NMR, and MS. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were assigned by comparing their experimental and calculated ECD spectra. Acetylation of compound 1 yielded 1a, a new natural product derivative that was tested together with other isolated compounds on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Cytochalasin L-696,474 (6) was found to significantly inhibit nitric oxide production, but was highly cytotoxic to the treated cells, whereas compound 1 slightly inhibited nitric oxide production, which was not significantly different compared to lipopolysaccharide-treated cells. Remarkably, the acetylated derivative of 1, compound 1a, significantly inhibited nitric oxide production with an IC50 value of 14.8 µM and no cytotoxic effect on treated cells, thereby showing the importance of the acetyl group in the anti-inflammatory activity of 1a. The study of the mechanism of action revealed that 1a decreases the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase 2, and proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 without an effect on IL-1β expression. Moreover, it was found that 1a exerts its anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells by downregulating the activation of ERK1/2 and by preventing the translocation of nuclear factor κB. Thus, derivatives of phomopsinin A (1), such as compound 1a, could provide new anti-inflammatory leads.

Three polyisoprenoid alcohols were isolated from the leaves of Tournefortia hirsutissima by a bioassay-guided phytochemical investigation. The compounds were identified as 16-hydroxy-lycopersene (Compound 1), (Z8,E3,ω)-dodecaprenol (Compound 2) and (Z9,E3,ω)-tridecaprenol (Compound 3). Compound 1, an unusual polyisoprenoid, was characterized by 1D and 2D NMR. We also determined the absolute configuration at C-16 by the modified Mosher’s method. The in vitro antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory activities of the isolated compounds were evaluated. Among isolates, Compound 1 moderately inhibited the nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. On the other hand, Compound 1 displayed selective antiproliferative activity against HeLa, PC3, HepG2 and Hep3B cancer cells and was less potent against IHH non-cancerous cells. Compound 1 in Hep3B cells showed significant inhibition of cell cycle progression increasing the sub-G1 phase, suggesting cell death. Acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining demonstrated that cell death induced by Compound 1 in cells Hep3B was by apoptosis. Further study showed that apoptosis induced by Compound 1 in Hep3b cells is associated with the increase of the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, and caspase 3/7 activation. These results suggest that Compound 1 induce apoptotic cell death by the mitochondrial pathway. To our knowledge, this is the first report about the presence of polyprenol Compounds 1–3 in T. hirsutissima, and the apoptotic and anti-inflammatory action of Compound 1.

AbstractTwo new Δ12 ursene-type triterpenoid coumaroyl esters (1 and 2), one new Δ7,15 isopimarane-type diterpenoid glycoside (20), and two new irido-δ-lactone-type iridoids (21 and 22), together with 17 known pentacyclic triterpenoids (3 – 19), were isolated during the phytochemical investigation of a methanol extract of the whole plant of Vaccinium emarginatum. Their structures were determined by detailed analysis of standard spectroscopic data (MS, IR, 1D, and 2D NMR) and comparison with data of known analogs. The isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against the PC-3 and Du145 prostate cancer cell lines (as assessed by an MTT cell proliferation assay), as well as for their anti-inflammatory activity via the inhibition of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-induced murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Among the isolates, the triterpenoid coumaroyl and feruloyl esters (1, 3, and 4) exhibited strong cytotoxicity against PC-3 prostate cancer cells, with 85.6 – 90.2% inhibition at 10.0 µg/mL. The pomolic acid coumaroyl and feruloyl esters (1 and 3) also showed moderate anti-inflammatory activity against nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 cells, with 59.2 (± 1.0) and 47.1% (± 0.2) inhibition at 12.5 µg/mL, respectively.
