This is a class of substances with steroids as the mother nucleus and containing a glyosidic bond structure. Modern pharmacology has shown that these compounds are a class of compounds with different structures and multiple biological activities. It has a good development prospect in anti-cancer and anti-tumor directions. This article reviews the chemical structures and biological activities of 345 compounds from 1984 to 2019.
查看更多>>摘要：? 2021 Phytochemical Society of EuropeThe Dianella genus includes approximately 20 species in all over the world. So far, only the chemical constituents of the lipophilic extract from Dianella ensifolia have been investigated. However, there have been no reports of its aqueous extract. In this article, two previously undescribed glucopyranosides, methyl 2-methoxyl-6-methyl benzoate-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and methyl 2-hydroxy-3,6-dimethyl benzoate-4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), were isolated from the aqueous extract of D. ensifolia. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectral measurements and comparisons with data reported in the literature. Compound 2 exhibited inhibitory effects against PTP-1B with an IC50 value of 12.88 ± 0.87 μM.

The structures of these isolates were determined by UV, HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectral analyses.

Their structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 3 and 4 exhibited weak inhibitions against Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values of 128 and 64 μg/mL, respectively.
查看更多>>摘要：? 2021 Phytochemical Society of EuropeA bio-assay guided fractionation of Piper garagaranum C. DC. led to the isolation of two prenylated hydroxybenzoic acids (1-2) with anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities. The anti-inflammatory action was determined in an LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophage assay with IC50 values for inhibition of NO production of (18 ± 3) and (26 ± 5) μM, for 1 and 2, respectively. These compounds do not inhibit NO production by a competitive inhibition of the iNOS enzyme and show anti-inflammatory properties by lowering the expression of pro-inflammatory genes (TNF-α, IL-1β, CXCL2 and CCL2), as determined by qRT-PCR. Electrochemical measurements using cyclic voltammetry (CV) show that compound 1 exhibits anti-oxidant properties. This is the first phytochemical study of this plant, and we report a preliminary study of the biological activity of the isolated compounds.
查看更多>>摘要：? 2021 Phytochemical Society of EuropeCentella asiatica is well known as an important medicinal plant because of its various pharmacological effects. However, most investigations on C. asiatica focused on the pharmacological activity of its extract or asiatic acid. In the present work, we aimed to explore the bioactive compounds of the whole plants of C. asiatica. As a result, seven compounds including two new flavonol derivates named 4′-hydroxyl-7-methoxyl-6-prenyl-3-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-flavonol (1) and (2R,3R,2″S)-3-furanoyl-brosimacutin E (2), and five known compounds (3-7) were isolated. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses. All the isolates were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic effects on four human cancer cells including A549, HepG2, SGC-7901 and MCF-7. Among them, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited higher cytotoxic activities on HepG2 and SGC-7901 cells compared with 3-7. And compound 2 showed potential cytotoxic activities on HepG2 and SGC-7901 cells with IC50 values of 4.52 and 7.03 μM, respectively.

Their structures were established by NMR spectroscopic analyses and HRESIMS. The structure of 1 was further confirmed from its single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crude extract, fractions and some isolated compounds were assessed for their preliminary antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity. One of the fractions (FB-B3) exhibited inhibition against the bacterial strain Pseudomonas agarici and induced a remarkable cytotoxic activity toward the human cervix carcinoma cell line KB-3-1 (IC50 0.166 mg/mL), and compounds 1, 6, and 7 showed moderate antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus.

The structures of new compounds, as well as their absolute configuration, were determined by a combination of spectroscopic methods and quantum chemical calculations of NMR and ECD data. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity, and only 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (8) exhibited inhibitory effects against SK-LU-1, HepG2, and MCF7 cells with IC50 values in the range of 8.33–14.82 μM.
