Breyniaspp.是具有潜在抗炎活性的含硫螺缩酮苷的关键来源。在这项研究中,三种新的含硫螺酮-breyninJ(1),表皮蛋白J(2),和probreynogenin(3)-以及四个已知的化合物-probreyninI(4),叶状酸(5),breyninB(6),和表皮蛋白B(7)-从Breyniadisticha的根部分离。通过广泛的1D和2DNMR光谱分析阐明了化合物1-7的结构,包括一维全相关光谱(TOCSY),HSQC,HMBC,双量子滤波(DQF)-COSY,异核双键相关(H2BC),和HSQC-TOCSY实验,以及高分辨率电喷雾电离HRESIMS分析,和量子化学电子CD计算。此外,糖残基的绝对构型是通过用α-半胱氨酸甲酯和邻甲苯基异硫氰酸酯对水解产物进行衍生化,然后进行HPLC分析来确定的。基于脂多糖(LPS)刺激的RAW264.7鼠巨噬细胞中促炎细胞因子的mRNA水平评价分离的化合物的抗炎作用。化合物1、2、6和7抑制LPS刺激的白介素(IL)-1β和IL-6mRNA水平的增加。此外,发现最有效的化合物7显着抑制IL-1β和IL-6蛋白的产生,如培养上清液的分析所揭示。
Breynia spp. are a key source of sulfur-containing spiroketal glycosides with potential anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, three new sulfur-containing spiroketals - breynin J (1), epibreynin J (2), and probreynogenin (3) - along with four known compounds - probreynin I (4), phyllaemblic acid (5), breynin B (6), and epibreynin B (7) - were isolated from the roots of Breynia disticha. The structures of compounds 1-7 were elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses, including 1D total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY), HSQC, HMBC, double quantum-filtered (DQF)-COSY, heteronuclear two-bond correlation (H2BC), and HSQC-TOCSY experiments, as well as high-resolution electrospray ionization HRESIMS analysis, and quantum chemical electronic CD calculations. Furthermore, the absolute configurations of sugar residues were determined by derivatization of the hydrolysates with ʟ-cysteine methyl ester and o-tolyl isothiocyanate followed by HPLC analysis. The anti-inflammatory effects of the isolated compounds were evaluated based on the mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells. Compounds 1, 2, 6, and 7 inhibited the increase in interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 mRNA levels stimulated by LPS. Moreover, the most potent compound 7 was found to significantly inhibit the production of IL-1β and IL-6 proteins, as revealed by the analysis of culture supernatants.
