Sesquiterpene Lactones with Potential Use as Natural Herbicide Models. 2. Guaianolides
摘要:
A structure-activity study to evaluate the effect of 17 guaianolide sesquiterpene lactones (in a range of 100-0.001 muM) on the growth and germination of several mono- and dicotyledon target species is accomplished. Results are compared with those obtained in the same bioassay with an internal standard, the commercial herbicide Logran, to validate the results with a known active formulation and to compare the results with a commercial product to test their potential use as natural herbicide models. Specific conditions for the selective mono- or polyhydroxylation of guaianolides using the SeO2/tert-butyl hydroperoxide system are presented and discussed. The high regio- and stereoselectivities of the reaction are explained through the specific structural requirements of the bulky first adduct formed during the ene reaction. These compounds appear to have deeper effects on the growth of either monocots or dicots than the previously tested germacranolides. Otherwise, the lactone group seems to be necessary for the activity, though it does not necessarily need to be unsaturated. However, the presence of a second and easily accessible unsaturated carbonyl system greatly enhances the inhibitory activity. Lipophilicity and the stereochemistry of the possible anchoring sites are also crucial factors for the activity. Finally, the levels of growth inhibition obtained with some compounds on dicots or monocots are totally comparable to those of Logran and allow proposing them as lead compounds.

Data show a strong influence of lipophilia, expressed as logP values. Specially, data from alkylic side chain ester derivatives adjust to the mathematical model based on Hansch's transport theory; hence, a quantitativestructure-activity relationships (QSAR) correlation with a high degree of reliance is provided. Moreover, all active compounds fit the Lipinski's rule of five. Also, the presence of additional

dehydrozaluzanin C (former DHZ) is a sesquiterpene lactone obtained from different weeds of the Compositae family. Its potential as a plantgrowthregulator has been evaluated by using a phytotoxic allelopathic bioassay, where the commercial herbicide Logran is used as internal reference. The evaluation is made based on their effects on germination and growth over several dicotyledon and monocotyledon species. The
Several novel series of sesquiterpene mustards (SMs) bearing nitrogen mustard and glutathione (GSH)-reactive alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone groups were successfully prepared for the first time and showed excellent antiproliferative activities in vitro. Among them, compounds 2e and 2g displayed the highest antiproliferative properties with IC50 values ranging from 2.5 to 8.7 mu M. The selectivity of these two compounds was evaluated by SRB method against human cancer and normal hepatic cells (HepG2 and L02). The induction of apoptosis and effects on the cell cycle distribution with compounds 2e and 2g were investigated by Hoechst 33,258 staining and flow cytometry, which exhibited that they could induce selective cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in HepG2 and L02 cells. In addition, further investigation showed that compounds 2e and 2g could obviously inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells by inducing significant DNA cross-linking and depleting GSH in cell media. The good cytotoxicity and selectivity of compounds 2e and 2g pointed them as promising leads for anticancer drug design. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
