Insect antifeedant compounds from Nothofagus dombeyi and N. pumilio
摘要:
A bioassay-guided purification of the extracts of Nothofagus dombeyi and N. pumilio leaves yielded several triterpenes and flavonoids including 2-O-acetylmaslinic acid, 3-O-acetyl 20,24,25-trihydroxydammarane, and 3,20,24,25-tetrahydroxydammarane as new natural products. All the isolated compounds were assessed for antifeeding activity against the 5th instar larvae of Ctenopsteustis obliquana. 12-Hydroxyoleanolic lactone and pectolinarigenin from N. dombeyi and dihydrooroxylin A from N. pumilio, showed significant antifeeding activity.

2-O-(2-chlorobenzoyl) maslinic acid triggers apoptosis in A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cells
摘要:
Depending on the conditions of the reactions, maslinic acid can be converted into the corresponding 2-O-, 3-O-, or 2,3-di-O-acylated compounds in good yields. These compounds showed in SRB assays a significantly increased cytotoxicity as compared to the parent compound maslinic acid. For the most active compound of this series, i.e. 2-O-(2-chlorobenzoyl) maslinic acid (5), more detailed cell biological tests (i.e. AO/PI dye exclusion experiments, an annexin V assay, and microscopic investigations) on A2780 (human ovarian carcinoma cells) revealed that this compound triggers apoptosis.

A broad set of potential bioactive conjugate compounds has been semi-synthesized through solution and solid-phase organic procedures, coupling two natural pentacyclic triterpene acids, oleanolic (OA) and maslinic acids (MA), at the hydroxyl groups of the A-ring of the triterpene skeleton, with 10 different acyl groups. These acyl OA and MA derivatives have been tested for their anti-proliferative (against the bl6f10 murine melanoma cancer cells) and antiviral (as inhibitors of the HIV-1-protease) effects. Several derivatives have shown high levels of early and total apoptosis (up to 90%). Most of the compounds that exhibited anti-proliferative effects also generated ROS, probably involving the activation of an intrinsic apoptotic route. The only four compounds that did not cause the release of ROS could be related to the participation of a probable extrinsic activation of the apoptosis mechanism. A great number of these acyl OA and MA derivatives have proved to be potent inhibitors of the HIV-1-protease, the most active inhibitors having IC50 values between 0.31 and 15.6 mu M, these values being between 4 and 186 times lower than their non-acylated precursors. The potent activities exhibited in the apoptosis-activation processes and in the inhibition of the HIV-1-protease by some OA and MA acylated derivatives imply that these compounds could be used as new, safe, and effective anticancer and/or antiviral drugs.
