Recently, the total synthesis of hericenones C-H and their derivatives (1-4) was reported by one of the authors. We considered that the chemical synthetic route would also be reasonable as a biosynthetic pathway of the compounds. Based on the hypothesis, we investigated the endogenous existence of synthetic intermediates and products of the chemical synthesis in the fruiting bodies. The n-hexane-soluble part of the fruiting bodies of H. erinaceus was fractionated, and all the fractions were subjected to a product ion scan and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) analysis by LC-MS/MS and compared to the authentic synthesized compounds. The analysis indicated the endogenous existence of 1-4 and the dehydrated form of 2 or 3. The dehydrated form was elucidated to be (Z)-5 by chemical synthesis, and a plausible biosynthetic pathway was proposed.","PeriodicalId":47,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural Products ","volume":" ","pages":"80-85"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11773572/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142890686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, they have been discussed as leads for the development of anticancer drug substances. Their main mode-of-action is inhibition of the eukaryotic serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. Unlike many cytotoxins that can cross cell membranes by passive diffusion, microcystins depend on active uptake via organic anion transporting polypeptides 1B1 or 1B3. Both phosphatase inhibition and transportability strongly depend on the structure of the individual microcystin. Here, we present how chemical modification of positions 2 and 4 of the microcystin core structure can alter these two properties. Aiming to reduce transportability and increase phosphatase inhibition, we used pharmacophore modeling to investigate the phosphatase inhibition potential of microcystins derivatized with small molecules containing a variety of functional groups. The respective derivatives were synthesized using click chemistry. We discovered that some derivatized microcystins can address a yet undescribed subpocket of the protein phosphatase 1. The derivatized microcystins were tested for phosphatase 1 inhibition and cytotoxicity on transporter-expressing cell lines, revealing that target inhibition and transportability of microcystins can independently be influenced by the physicochemical properties, especially of the residue located in position 2 of the microcystin. Derivatization with small acids or amino acids resulted in microcystins with a favorable ratio of inhibition to transportability, making these derivatives potentially suitable for drug development.","PeriodicalId":47,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural Products ","volume":" ","pages":"3-14"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11773564/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142453368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research endeavor aimed to uncover the fundamental principles underlying the detoxification approach applied to Plumbago zeylanica, commonly referred to as \"swet chitrak\", in which plumbagin is the primary toxic constituent. Both unprocessed and processed (detoxified) extracts as well as the detoxification media were subjected to analysis for secondary metabolites using different analytical techniques. This investigation revealed a reduction in plumbagin content, its conversion to epoxyplumbagin and zeylanone and a noteworthy decrease in cis- and trans-isoshinanolone during detoxification. Furthermore, it was confirmed that pure plumbagin when subjected to the same detoxification conditions, is partially converted into epoxyplumbagin, and that cis and trans-isoshinanolone showed interconversion. The current work establishes the chemical basis of the age-old traditional ayurvedic process of detoxification of P. zeylanica.","PeriodicalId":47,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural Products ","volume":" ","pages":"15-23"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142925811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their beneficial biophysical properties make them promising molecules for pharmaceutical and agricultural applications. The Violaceae plant family is the major cyclotide-producing family, and to date, every examined plant from this family has been found to contain cyclotides. The presence of cyclotides in Viola communis was inferred by mass spectroscopy previously, but their sequences and properties had yet to be explored. In this study, the occurrence of cyclotides in this plant was investigated using proteomics and transcriptomics. Twenty cyclotides were identified at the peptide level, including two new members from the bracelet (Vcom1) and Möbius (Vcom2) subfamilies. Structural analysis of these newly identified peptides demonstrated a similar fold compared with cyclotides from the same respective subfamilies. Biological assays of Vcom1 and Vcom2 revealed them to be cytotoxic to Sf9 insect cell lines, with Vcom1 demonstrating higher potency than Vcom2. The results suggest that they could be further explored as insecticidal agents and confirm earlier general findings that bracelet cyclotides have more potent insecticidal activity than their Möbius relatives. Seven new cyclotide-like sequences were observed in the transcriptome of V. communis, highlighting the Violaceae as a rich source for new cyclotides with potential insecticidal activity. An analysis of sequences flanking the cyclotide domain in the various precursors from V. communis and other Violaceae plants revealed new insights into cyclotide processing and suggested the possibility of two alternative classes of N-terminal processing enzymes for cyclotide biosynthesis.","PeriodicalId":47,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural Products ","volume":" ","pages":"24-35"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140920306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
