Effect of 1-Carbaldehyde-3,4-dimethoxyxanthone on Prostate and HPV-18 Positive Cervical Cancer Cell Lines and on Human THP-1 Macrophages

Xanthone derivatives have shown promising antitumor properties, and 1-carbaldehyde-3,4-dimethoxyxanthone (1) has recently emerged as a potent tumor cell growth inhibitor. In this study, its effect was evaluated (MTT viability assay) against a new panel of cancer cells, namely cervical cancer (HeLa), androgen-sensitive (LNCaP) and androgen-independent (PC-3) prostate cancer, and nonsolid tumor derived cancer (Jurkat) cell lines. The effect of xanthone 1 on macrophage functions was also evaluated. The effect of xanthone 1-conditioned THP-1 human macrophage supernatants on the metabolic viability of cervical and prostate cancer cell lines was determined along with its interference with cytokine expression characteristic of M1 profile (IL-1 ≤ β; TNF-α) or M2 profile (IL-10; TGF-β) (PCR and ELISA). Nitric oxide (NO) production by murine RAW264.7 macrophages was quantified by Griess reaction. Xanthone 1 (20 μM) strongly inhibited the metabolic activity of the cell lines and was significantly more active against prostate cell lines compared to HeLa (p < 0.05). Jurkat was the cell most sensitive to the effect of xanthone 1. Compound 1-conditioned IL-4-stimulated THP-1 macrophage supernatants significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited the metabolic activity of HeLa, LNCaP, and PC-3. Xanthone 1 did not significantly affect the expression of cytokines by THP-1 macrophages. The inhibiting effect of compound 1 observed on the production of NO by RAW 264.7 macrophages was moderate. In conclusion, 1-carbaldehyde-3,4-dimethoxyxanthone (1) decreases the metabolic activity of cancer cells and seems to be able to modulate macrophage functions.     

The Effects of New Zealand Grown Ginseng Fractions on Cytokine Production from Human Monocytic THP-1 Cells

Pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines are important mediators that regulate the inflammatory response in inflammation-related diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate different New Zealand (NZ)-grown ginseng fractions on the productions of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in human monocytic THP-1 cells. Four NZ-grown ginseng fractions, including total ginseng extract (TGE), non-ginsenoside fraction extract (NGE), high-polar ginsenoside fraction extract (HPG), and less-polar ginsenoside fraction extract (LPG), were prepared and the ginsenoside compositions of extracts were analyzed by HPLC using 19 ginsenoside reference standards. The THP-1 cells were pre-treated with different concentrations of TGE, NGE, HPG, and LPG, and were then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-10 (IL-10), and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). TGE at 400 µg/mL significantly inhibited LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-6 productions. NGE did not show any effects on inflammatory secretion except inhibited IL-6 production at a high dose. Furthermore, LPG displayed a stronger effect than HPG on inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) productions. Particularly, 100 µg/mL LPG not only significantly inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, but also remarkably enhanced the production of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. NZ-grown ginseng exhibited anti-inflammatory effects in vitro, which is mainly attributed to ginsenoside fractions (particularly less-polar ginsenosides) rather than non-saponin fractions.

3-Amino-4-hydroxy-6-phenylpyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-2,5(6H)-dione was produced by a smooth reduction of its nitro precursor. Reaction of this 3-amino-4-hydroxypyranoquinoline derivative with different electrophiles, leading to a variety of oxazolo and oxazinopyrano[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives, was described. The structure of the new products was elucidated via elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra. Also, screening the antitumor activity of new compounds against two human cell lines (HepG-2 and HCT-116) was carried out. Some new products showed significant antitumor activities.     

Synthesis of novel bis- and poly(benzimidazoles) as well as bis- and poly(benzothiazoles) as anticancer agents

A synthesis of bis- and poly(benzimidazoles) as well as bis- and poly(benzothiazoles) was attempted using different protocols. The best results were obtained by employing the reaction of the appropriate bis- or poly(aldehydes) with o-phenylenediamine or 2-aminothiophenol, respectively, in ethanol at reflux in the presence of NaHSO₃. The anticancer activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7), liver cancer cell line (HepG-2), and epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (CaCO-2). Hexakis(benzothiazole) was found to exhibit the highest activity against HepG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines with IC₅₀ values of 21.16 and 13.25 μM, respectively.     

Chemotaxonomy of Triterpenoid Pattern of HPLC of Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma tsugae

Their triterpenoid patterns of the fruit body were analyzed by reverse phase HPLC using a gradient elution of acetonitrile/2% acetic acid (1/4 and 1/2). The triterpenoid patterns of G. tsugae and G. lucidum are different. But similar 2 and 3 dimensional patterns are obtained among three strains of G. tsugae. Different patterns are found among different strains of G. lucidum. Ganoderic acid A( 1 ), B( 2 ), C( 3 ) and D( 4 ) were isolated from the ethanol extract of G. tsugae.

Eight oxaliplatin derivatives with chiral amino acid, 2-{[(1R,2R)-2-aminocyclohexyl]amino}propanoic acid, as the carrier group, were designed, synthesized, and spectrally characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, MS spectra, and microanalyses. In vitro cytotoxicities against human HepG-2, MCF-7, A549, and HCT-116 cell lines were evaluated by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazo-liumbromide assay. Results indicated that all compounds exhibited sensitivity to HepG-2 cell line, and among them, compounds P3 and P4 which have CH₃(CH₂)₆COO^– and CH₃(CH₂)₈COO^– as the leaving groups, respectively, gave better antitumor activity than carboplatin against HepG-2 and A549 cell lines.     

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Charantadiol A,Isolated from Wild Bitter Melon Leaf,on Heat-Inactivated Porphyromonas gingivalis-Stimulated THP-1 Monocytes and a Periodontitis Mouse Model

Porphyromonas gingivalis has been identified as one of the major periodontal pathogens. Activity-directed fractionation and purification processes were employed to identify bioactive compounds from bitter melon leaf. Ethanolic extract of bitter melon leaf was separated into five subfractions by open column chromatography. Subfraction-5-3 significantly inhibited P. gingivalis-induced interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6 productions in human monocytic THP-1 cells and then was subjected to separation and purification by using different chromatographic methods. Consequently, 5β,19-epoxycucurbita-6,23(E),25(26)-triene-3β,19(R)-diol (charantadiol A) was identified and isolated from the subfraction-5-3. Charantadiol A effectively reduced P. gingivalis-induced IL-6 and IL-8 productions and triggered receptors expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-1 mRNA level of THP-1 cells. In a separate study, charantadiol A significantly suppressed P. gingivalis-stimulated IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α mRNA levels in gingival tissues of mice, confirming the inhibitory effect against P. gingivalis-induced periodontal inflammation. Thus, charantadiol A is a potential anti-inflammatory agent for modulating P. gingivalis-induced inflammation.

Design,synthesis and evaluation of novel dehydroabietic acid-dithiocarbamate hybrids as potential multi-targeted compounds for tumor cytotoxicity

In the present study, novel representatives of the important group of biologically-active, dehydroabietic acid-bearing dithiocarbamate moiety, were synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, HR-MS. The in vitro antiproliferative activity evaluation (MTT) indicated that these compounds exhibited potent inhibitory activities in various cancer cell lines (HepG-2, MCF-7, HeLa, T-24, MGC-803). Particularly, compound III-b possessed extraordinary cytotoxicity with low micromolar IC₅₀ values ranging from 4.07 to 38.84 µM against tested cancer cell lines, while displayed weak cytotoxicity on two normal cell lines (LO-2 and HEK 293 T). Subsequently, the potential mechanisms of representative compound III-b were elementarily investigated by Transwell experiment, which showed III-b can inhibit cancer cells migration. Annexin-V/PI dual staining showed that the compound can induce HepG-2 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile this apoptosis may be related to the upregulated protein expression of cleaved-caspase 3, cleaved-caspase 9, Bax and downregulated of Bcl-2 indicated by Western Blot. Later study further confirmed that ROS levels in HepG-2 cells increased significantly with the rise of concentrations. In addition, through the network pharmacology data analyzing, the core targets and signaling pathways of compound III-b for treatment of liver neoplasms were forecasted. Molecular docking model showed that compound III-b had high affinity with hub targets (CASP3, EGFR, HSP90AA1, MAPK1, ERBB2, MDM2), suggesting that compound III-b might target the hub protein to modulate signaling activity. Taken together, these data indicated that dehydroabietic acid structural modification following the “Molecular hybridization” principle is a feasible way to discover the potential multi-targeted antitumor compounds.     

Inhibitory effect of Astragalus polysaccharides on lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-a and IL-1β production in THP-1 cells

Astragalus polysaccharides (APS), one of main bioactive components in Astragalus membranaceus Bunge, has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory activities, but the molecular mechanisms behind this activity are largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate expression of inflammatory cytokines and the MAPK/NF-κB pathway in human THP-1 macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The results showed that the concentrations of TNF-a and IL-1β released from LPS stimulated THP-1 cells increased significantly compared to control (p < 0.01). After treatment with APS, the TNF-a and IL-1β levels were significantly lower than those in the LPS group (p < 0.05). The mRNA expression of TNF-a and IL-1β were also inhibited. Mechanistic studies indicated that APS strongly suppressed NF-κB activation and down-regulated the phosphorylation of ERK and JNK, which are important signaling pathways involved in the production of TNF-a and IL-1β, demonstrating that APS could suppress the production of TNF-a and IL-1β by LPS stimulated macrophages by inhibiting NF-κB activation and ERK and JNK phosphorylation.     

Synthesis and antitumor evaluation of some new derivatives and fused heterocyclic compounds derived from thieno[2,3-b]pyridine: Part 2

As a continuation of our research on developing anticancer agents and based on the proven proprieties of thieno[2,3-b]pyridines as anticancer, we have designed to synthesize novel thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives that incorporate different biologically active heterocycles through various chemical reactions.

The results revealed that compounds 3 , 7 , 12 , and 19 were found to be the most potent against both HepG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines exhibiting IC₅₀ values ranging from 3.67 to 11.50 and 5.13 to 11.80 μg/mL, respectively, among which compound 7 has a more potent activity than the reference drug doxorubicin against HepG-2 cell line, showing IC₅₀ value of 3.67 μg/mL (doxorubicin 4.65 μg/mL).     

Discovery of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives as new bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) inhibitors

Targeting bromodomain-containing protein 4(BRD4) has been proved to be an effective strategy for cancer therapy.To date,numerous BRD4 inhibitors and degraders have been identified,some of which have advanced into clinical trials.In this work,a focused library of new [1,2,4]triazolo [1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were discovered to be able to inhibit BRD4.WS-722 inactivated BRD4(BD1/BD2),BRD2(BD1/BD2) and BRD3(BD1/BD2) broadly with the IC₅₀ values less than 5 μmol/L.Besides,WS-722 inhibited growth of THP-1 cells with an IC₅₀ value of 3.86 μmol/L.Like(+)-JQ1,WS-722 inhibited BRD4 in a reversible manner and enhanced protein stability.Docking studies showed that WS-722 occupied the central acetyl-lysine(Kac) binding cavity and formed a hydrogen bond with Asn140.In THP-1 cells,WS-722 showed target engagement to BRD4.Cellular effects of WS-722 on THP-1 cells were also examined,showing that WS-722 could block c-MYC expression,induce G0/G1 phase arrest and p21 up-regulation,and promote differentiation of THP-1 cells.BRD4 inhibition by WS-722 resulted in cell apoptosis and upregulated expression of cleaved caspased-3/7 and PARP in THP-1 cell lines.The [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine is a new template for the development of new BRD4 inhibitors.
