Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling of Glycyrrhizin Derivatives as Potent High-Mobility Group Box-1 Inhibitors with Anti-Heart-Failure Activity in Vivo
摘要:
Novel glycyrrhizin (GL) derivatives were designed and synthesized by introducing various amine or amino acid residues into the carbohydrate chain and at C-30. Their inhibitory effects on high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) were evaluated using a cell-based lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) release study. Compounds 10, 12, 18-20, 23, and 24, which had substituents introduced at C-30, demonstrated moderate HMGB1 inhibition with ED50 values ranging from 337 to 141 mu M, which are values comparable to that of the leading GL compound (1) (ED50 = 70 mu M). Compounds 23 and 24 emerged as novel and interesting HMGB1 inhibitors. These compounds were able to extend the survival of mice with chronic heart failure (CHF) and acute heart failure (AHF), respectively. In addition, molecular modeling studies were performed to support the biological data.

Saponin and Sapogenol. XLVII. On the Constituents of the Roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer from Northeastern China. 1. Licorice-Saponins A3, B2, and C2.
From the air-dried root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, collected in the northeastern part of China, ten new oleanane-type triterpene oligoglycosides were isolated together with glycyrrhizin (1) and several known flavonoids. Among the newly isolated triterpene oligoglycosides, the chemical structures of licorice-saponin A3 (2), licorice-saponin B2 (3), and licorice-saponin C2 (4) have been determined, on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence, to be expressed as 30-O-β-D-glucopyranosylglycyrrhizm, 11-deoxo-glycyrrhizin, and 3-O-[β-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl]oleana-11, 13(18)-dien-30-oic acid, respectively. During the course of these studies, facile conversions from glycyrrhizn (1) to licorice-saponins A3 (2), B2 (3), and C2 (4) have been accomplished.
Licorice root is often co-prescribed with Bupleuri Radix (Bupleurum root) for decoctions used in oriental traditional medicine. It was found that the water solubility of saikosaponin-a, the active principle of Bupleurum root, was increased in the presence of the water extract or the saponin fraction of licorice root and this solubilizing effect was due to glycyrrhizin, the major active saponin of this plant drug. A solubilizing effect on saikosaponin-a was also observed with the 30-β-glucoside ester and 30-β-glucuronide ester of glycyrrhizin. The 30-β-glucoside ester improved the solubilizing property of glycyrrhizin. Aqueous solutions of the 30-β-glucoside ester and the 30-β-glucuronide ester solubilized dl-α-tocopherol and oleanolic acid, both of which are almost insoluble in water.

Immunostimulatory saponin based colloidal antigen delivery systems show promise as adjuvants for subunit vaccines. For this reason, allyl oleanolate was glycosylated at the 3-position using trichloroacetimidate donors to give monodesmodic saponins following deprotection. Bisdesmodic saponins were synthesized by double glycosylation at the 3- and 28-positions of oleanolic acid. When formulated together with cholesterol and phospholipids, ring-like, helical and rod-like nanostructures were formed depending on the saponin concentrations used. As an indication of adjuvant activity, the ability of these formulations, and the saponins by themselves, to induce dendritic cell maturation was measured, but no significant activity was observed.
