Abstract
Garpedvinin A (1), a novel polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP) with a bicyclo[4,2,1]nonane core, 13 previously undescribed PPAPs, garpedvinins B-N (2-14) and 6 known analogs (15-20) were isolated from Garcinia pedunculata by various chromatographic methods combined with Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking. The structures were identified by the analyses of spectral characteristics, computational chemistry calculations and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A plausible biosynthetic pathway for garpedvinin A was suggested based on the isolated precursor, cambogin. Compounds 2-6, 8, 11, 13, 15-18 and 20 displayed cytotoxic effects on three cancer cell lines, HepG2, A549 and MCF-7. 6 showed the strong inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HepG2 cells in vitro, inducing cell apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner and blocking the cell cycle at the S phase. Furthermore, 6 affected the expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bax, Bcl2 and pro-Caspase-3.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
