Bioactive Abietane-Type Diterpenoid Glycosides from Leaves of Clerodendrum infortunatum (Lamiaceae)

In this study, two previously undescribed diterpenoids, (5R,10S,16R)-11,16,19-trihydroxy-12-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl-17(15→16),18(4→3)-diabeo-3,8,11,13-abietatetraene-7-one (1) and (5R,10S,16R)-11,16-dihydroxy-12-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl-17(15→16),18(4→3)-diabeo-4-carboxy-3,8,11,13-abietatetraene-7-one (2), and one known compound, the C₁₃-nor-isoprenoid glycoside byzantionoside B (3), were isolated from the leaves of Clerodendrum infortunatum L. (Lamiaceae). Structures were established based on spectroscopic and spectrometric data and by comparison with literature data. The three terpenoids, along with five phenylpropanoids: 6′-O-caffeoyl-12-glucopyranosyloxyjasmonic acid (4), jionoside C (5), jionoside D (6), brachynoside (7), and incanoside C (8), previously isolated from the same source, were tested for their in vitro antidiabetic (α-amylase and α-glucosidase), anticancer (Hs578T and MDA-MB-231), and anticholinesterase activities. In an in vitro test against carbohydrate digestion enzymes, compound 6 showed the most potent effect against mammalian α-amylase (IC₅₀ 3.4 ± 0.2 μM) compared to the reference standard acarbose (IC₅₀ 5.9 ± 0.1 μM). As yeast α-glucosidase inhibitors, compounds 1, 2, 5, and 6 displayed moderate inhibitory activities, ranging from 24.6 to 96.0 μM, compared to acarbose (IC₅₀ 665 ± 42 μM). All of the tested compounds demonstrated negligible anticholinesterase effects. In an anticancer test, compounds 3 and 5 exhibited moderate antiproliferative properties with IC₅₀ of 94.7 ± 1.3 and 85.3 ± 2.4 μM, respectively, against Hs578T cell, while the rest of the compounds did not show significant activity (IC₅₀ > 100 μM).     

New acetylcholinesterase inhibitors isolated from Delphinium uncinatum

The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), the key enzyme in the breakdown of acetylcholine, is presently the most common pharmacological approach available for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Despite research on the molecular bases of AD, potent therapeutic agent against its expansion is still needed. In searching for natural cholinesterase inhibitors, the present study was focused on the isolation of three new norditerpenoid alkaloids, uncinatine B-D together with known virescenine from Delphinium uncinatum. Chemical structures for all the isolated norditerpenoids (1–4) were established using latest spectroscopic techniques. The isolated undescribed compounds along with known virescenine were testified for their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity supported by docking analyses. Molecular docking simulation showed that the isolated compounds (1–4) were observed to adhered in the active site of AChE with docking scores ? 13.5322 (1), ?11.8173 (2), ?12.4240 (3) and ? 8.9352 (4) respectively. Overall results demonstrated that these natural norditerpenoids compounds were found as selective inhibitors of AChE. This is the first report regarding the use of bioactive ingredients of Delphinium uncinatum in testing against Alzheimer's disease.
