Cycloartane-type triterpenoids from Combretum quadrangulare Kurz with PCSK9 secretion inhibitory activities
Nine previously undescribed (1–9) and seven known (10–16) cycloartane-type triterpenoids were isolated and characterized from Combretum quadrangulare Kurz using physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of these compounds were determined through modified Mosher's method and quantum chemical calculation of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra. Their inhibitory activities against PCSK9 secretion were assessed, and a plausible structure-activity relationship was delineated. Compounds 2, 14, and 15 exhibited notable inhibitory effects on PCSK9 mRNA and protein levels, and significant PCSK9 mRNA inhibition was observed when co-treated with atorvastatin. Compound 15 showed the most potent activity, markedly enhancing LDL uptake compared to the negative control. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies confirmed that compound 15 exhibited higher distribution in the liver than plasma, where PCSK9 is predominantly synthesized. These findings emphasize the potential significance of the cycloartane-type triterpenoid scaffold in discovering PCSK9 inhibitors.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry is a leading international journal publishing studies of plant chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, structure and bioactivities of phytochemicals, including ''-omics'' and bioinformatics/computational biology approaches. Phytochemistry is a primary source for papers dealing with phytochemicals, especially reports concerning their biosynthesis, regulation, and biological properties both in planta and as bioactive principles. Articles are published online as soon as possible as Articles-in-Press and in 12 volumes per year. Occasional topic-focussed special issues are published composed of papers from invited authors.
