Structure-Activity Relationships for Bergenin Analogues As Β-Secretase Journal of Oleo Science Copyright ©2013 by Japan Oil Chemists’ Society J. Oleo Sci. 62, (6) 391-401 (2013) Structure-activity Relationships for Bergenin Analogues as β-Secretase (BACE1) Inhibitors Yusei Kashima and Mitsuo Miyazawa* Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Kinki University (3-4-1, Kowakae, Higashiosaka-shi, Osaka 577-8502, JAPAN) Abstract: Here we evaluated the inhibitory effects of bergenin analogues (2-10), prepared from naturally occurring bergenin, (1) on β-secretase (BACE1) activity. All the bergenin analogues that were analyzed inhibited BACE1 in a dose-dependent manner. 11-O-protocatechuoylbergenin (5) was the most potent inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 0.6 ± 0.07 mM. The other bergenin analogues, in particular, 11-O-3′,4′- dimethoxybenzoyl)-bergenin (6), 11-O-vanilloylbergenin (7), and 11-O-isovanilloylbergenin (8), inhibited BACE1 activity with IC50 values of <10.0 mM. BACE1 inhibitory activity was influenced by the substituents of the benzoic acid moiety. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the structure-activity relationships (SAR) in the BACE1 inhibitory activities of bergenin analogues. These bergenin analogues may be useful in studying the mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease.

Received: 19 October 2010; in revised form: 3 November 2010 / Accepted: 4 November 2010 / Published: 8 November 2010 Abstract: Among the wide diversity of naturally occurring phenolic acids, at least 30 hydroxy- and polyhydroxybenzoic acids have been reported in the last 10 years to have biological activities. The chemical structures, natural occurrence throughout the plant, algal, bacterial, fungal and animal kingdoms, and recently described bioactivities of these phenolic and polyphenolic acids are reviewed to illustrate their wide distribution, biological and ecological importance, and potential as new leads for the development of pharmaceutical and agricultural products to improve human health and nutrition. Keywords: polyphenols; phenolic acids; hydroxybenzoic acids; natural occurrence; bioactivities 1. Introduction Phenolic compounds exist in most plant tissues as secondary metabolites, i.e. they are not essential for growth, development or reproduction but may play roles as antioxidants and in interactions between the plant and its biological environment. Phenolics are also important components of the human diet due to their potential antioxidant activity [1], their capacity to diminish oxidative stress- induced tissue damage resulted from chronic diseases [2], and their potentially important properties such as anticancer activities [3-5].

Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 12 December 2020 Abstract: Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom that can be categorized as flavonoids and non-flavonoids. Interest in phenolic compounds has dramatically increased during the last decade due to their biological effects and promising therapeutic applications. In this review, we discuss the importance of phenolic compounds’ bioavailability to accomplish their physiological functions, and highlight main factors affecting such parameter throughout metabolism of phenolics, from absorption to excretion. Besides, we give an updated overview of the health benefits of phenolic compounds, which are mainly linked to both their direct (e.g., free-radical scavenging ability) and indirect (e.g., by stimulating activity of antioxidant enzymes) antioxidant properties. Such antioxidant actions reportedly help them to prevent chronic and oxidative stress-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, among others. Last, we comment on development of cutting-edge delivery systems intended to improve bioavailability and enhance stability of phenolic compounds in the human body.

College, Durg (C.G.) 491001,India) email - [email protected] Abstract: Phytochemicals are the secondary metabolites synthesized in different parts of the plants. They have the remarkable ability to influence various body processes and functions. So they are taken in the form of food supplements, tonics, dietary plants and medicines. Such natural products of the plants attribute to their therapeutic and medicinal values. Phenolic compounds are the most important group of bioactive constituents of the medicinal plants and human diet. Some of the important ones are simple phenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids and phenyl-propanoids. They act as antioxidants and free radical scavengers, and hence function to decrease oxidative stress and their harmful effects. Thus, phenols help in prevention and control of many dreadful diseases and early ageing. Phenols are also responsible for anti-inflammatory, anti-biotic and anti- septic properties. The unique molecular structure of these phytochemicals, with specific position of hydroxyl groups, owes to their powerful bioactivities. The present work reviews the critical study on the chemistry, distribution and role of some phenolic compounds in promoting health-benefits.

    Juurlink et al. Nutrition Journal 2014, 13:63 http://www.nutritionj.com/content/13/1/63 REVIEW Open Access Hydroxybenzoic acid isomers and the cardiovascular system Bernhard HJ Juurlink1,2, Haya J Azouz1, Alaa MZ Aldalati1, Basmah MH AlTinawi1 and Paul Ganguly1,3* Abstract Today we are beginning to understand how phytochemicals can influence metabolism, cellular signaling and gene expression. The hydroxybenzoic acids are related to salicylic acid and salicin, the first compounds isolated that have a pharmacological activity. In this review we examine how a number of hydroxyphenolics have the potential to ameliorate cardiovascular problems related to aging such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and dyslipidemia. The compounds focused upon include 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (Pyrocatechuic acid), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (Gentisic acid), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (Protocatechuic acid), 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (α-Resorcylic acid) and 3-monohydroxybenzoic acid. The latter two compounds activate the hydroxycarboxylic acid receptors with a consequence there is a reduction in adipocyte lipolysis with potential improvements of blood lipid profiles. Several of the other compounds can activate the Nrf2 signaling pathway that increases the expression of antioxidant enzymes, thereby decreasing oxidative stress and associated problems such as endothelial dysfunction that leads to hypertension as well as decreasing generalized inflammation that can lead to problems such as atherosclerosis. It has been known for many years that increased consumption of fruits and vegetables promotes health. We are beginning to understand how specific phytochemicals are responsible for such therapeutic effects. Hippocrates’ dictum of ‘Let food be your medicine and medicine your food’ can now be experimentally tested and the results of such experiments will enhance the ability of nutritionists to devise specific health-promoting diets.

  • Antiplasmodial Natural Products: an Update Nasir Tajuddeen and Fanie R
    Tajuddeen and Van Heerden Malar J (2019) 18:404 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-019-3026-1 Malaria Journal REVIEW Open Access Antiplasmodial natural products: an update Nasir Tajuddeen and Fanie R. Van Heerden* Abstract Background: Malaria remains a signifcant public health challenge in regions of the world where it is endemic. An unprecedented decline in malaria incidences was recorded during the last decade due to the availability of efective control interventions, such as the deployment of artemisinin-based combination therapy and insecticide-treated nets. However, according to the World Health Organization, malaria is staging a comeback, in part due to the develop- ment of drug resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover new anti-malarial drugs. This article reviews the literature on natural products with antiplasmodial activity that was reported between 2010 and 2017. Methods: Relevant literature was sourced by searching the major scientifc databases, including Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus, SciFinder, Pubmed, and Google Scholar, using appropriate keyword combinations. Results and Discussion: A total of 1524 compounds from 397 relevant references, assayed against at least one strain of Plasmodium, were reported in the period under review. Out of these, 39% were described as new natural products, and 29% of the compounds had IC50 3.0 µM against at least one strain of Plasmodium. Several of these compounds have the potential to be developed into≤ viable anti-malarial drugs. Also, some of these compounds could play a role in malaria eradication by targeting gametocytes. However, the research into natural products with potential for block- ing the transmission of malaria is still in its infancy stage and needs to be vigorously pursued.

  • Bioactive Isocoumarins from Cissus Pteroclada
    J Chin Med 23(1): 41-49, 2012 41 BIOACTIVE ISOCOUMARINS FROM CISSUS PTEROCLADA Chwan-Fwu Lin1, Tsong-Long Hwang2, Shu-Yun Lin3, Yu-Ling Huang1,3,* 1Department of Cosmetic Science, Chang Gung University of Science and Technology, Taoyuan, Taiwan 2Graduate Institute of Natural Products, College of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan 3National Research Institute of Chinese Medicine, Taipei, Taiwan ( Received 09th September 2011, accepted 09th April 2012 ) Investigation of the roots with stems of Cissus pteroclada Hayata resulted in isolation of four- teen compounds including five isocoumarins, bergenin (1), norbergenin (2), 6-O-galloylbergenin (3), 6-O-(4-hydroxy benzoyl) bergenin (4), and 6-O-galloylnorbergenin (5). The structures of the isolated compounds were identified by spectroscopic analyses and comparison of their spectral data with those in literature. Compounds 1, 3, 5 were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity. Both 3 and 5 showed potent inhibitory effect on superoxide anion generation with IC50 values of 1.94 ± 0.33 and 4.08 ± 0.49 µM, respectively. Key words: Cissus pteroclada Hayata, Vitaceae, isocoumarin, anti-inflammatory, superoxide anion Introduction have been reported to contain multiple classes of constituents. Among them, C sicyoides (CS) Cissus pteroclada Hayata (Vitis pteroclada is distributed throughout the tropics, mainly in Hayata, Cissus hastate (Miq.) Planch,1,2 Vitaceae) is Brazil and Caribbean, it is used as a diuretic, anti- the original plant of a traditional Chinese "Sifang- inflammator, and antidiabetic.
