Pictalignans D-F,three new neolignan derivatives from Selaginella picta

Abstract

Three new neolignan derivatives (1–3), together with three known isolariciresinol derivatives (4–6) were isolated from Selaginella picta. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (1D/2D NMR, HRESIMS and CD). All isolated compounds were assayed on the neuroprotective activity against the injury of HT-22 cells induced by L-Glutamate in vitro. All compounds displayed potent protective effect on HT-22 cells.

Structure determination of selaginellins G and H from Selaginella pulvinata by NMR spectroscopy

Selaginellins G ( 1 ) and H ( 2 ), two new selaginellin derivatives, were isolated from the whole plant of Selaginella pulvinata. Their structures were elucidated, and complete assignments of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic data were achieved by 1D and 2D NMR experiments (HSQC, HMBC, COSY and ROESY). Compound 1 displayed good antifungal activity against Candida albicans with an IC₅₀ value of 5.3 µg/ml. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Neolignans and Caffeoyl Derivatives from Selaginella moellendorffii

Ten new phenolic compounds including the six neolignans 1 – 3 and 6 – 8 and four caffeoyl derivatives, i.e., myo‐inositol 1‐caffeate ( 9 ), myo‐inositol 6‐caffeate ( 10 ), myo‐inositol 5‐caffeate ( 11 ), and paucine 3′‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 12 ) were isolated from the whole plants of Selaginella moellendorffii (caffeic acid=3‐(3,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)prop‐2‐enoic acid). Their structures were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods.     

Therapeutic Effects of Selaginella tamariscina on the Model of Acute Gout with Hyperuricemia in Rats Based on Metabolomics Analysis

Gout is a disease of purine metabolic disorders which results from long‐term hyperuricemia and the sodium urate deposition in and around the joints. Selaginella tamariscina (ST ) is an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine and is used for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. In this study, the rat model of acute gout with hyperuricemia was established by intraperitoneal injection of xanthine and oxonic acid potassium salt and articular injection monosodium urate (MSU ). The effect of ST in the treatment of gout was investigated by measuring joint swelling, the expression of IL ‐1β in serum and histological changes of joint by haematoxylin eosin (H&E) staining. Subsequently, urine metabolomics analysis for biomarkers discovery in acute gout with hyperuricemia rats was performed by the ultra‐performance liquid chromatography‐electrospray ionization quadruple time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (UPLC‐ESI‐QTOF /MS ) combined with chemometric approach. Principal component analysis (PCA ) and orthogonal partial least squares‐discriminant analysis (OPLS‐DA ) were used to detect potential biomarkers. A total of 18 potential biomarkers were identified mainly including tryptophan metabolism; tyrosine metabolism; lysine methylation; pyrimidine metabolism; purine metabolism; TCA cycle and fatty acid metabolisms. This study indicates that ST could efficiently ameliorate the disease of acute gout with hyperuricemia in rats. The related metabolic biomarkers could provide useful information and the metabolic mechanism could be used for further study about the model of acute gout with hyperuricemia in rats.
