Article: Bioactive compounds from the fern Lepisorus contortus.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Phytochemical investigation of the whole plant of Lepisorus contortus (Christ) Ching led to the isolation of five new phenylethanoid glycosides (1-5), each containing a caffeoyl group, a new flavonoid glycoside (10), and 14 known compounds (6-9 and 11-15, syringic acid, vanillic acid, phloretic acid, diplopterol, and β-sitosterol). This is the first report of phenylethanoid glycosides from the family Polypodiaceae. Compounds 1-15 were evaluated for their cancer chemopreventive potential based on their ability to inhibit tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-induced NF-κB activity, nitric oxide (NO) production, and aromatase, quinone reductase 2 (QR-2), and COX-1/-2 activities. Quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucoside (15) demonstrated inhibition against QR2 with an IC(50) value of 3.84 μM, which confirmed kaempferol/quercetin glycosides as the active compounds to inhibit QR2. The compound also demonstrated NF-κB activity with an IC(50) value of 33.6 μM. In addition, compounds 1, 2, 4, and 6 showed aromatase activity with IC(50) values of 30.7, 32.3, 26.8, and 35.3 μM, respectively.Journal of Natural Products 01/2011; 74(2):129-36. · 3.13 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Kaempferol glycosides, named palmatosides A (1), B (2) and C (3), together with three known kaempferol glycosides, multiflorins A (4) and B (5), and afzelin (6), were isolated from the roots of the fern Neocheiropteris palmatopedata. Palmatosides A (1) and B (2) each possessed an unusual sugar moiety containing a 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxo-butoxy substituent group. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cancer chemopreventive potential based on their ability to inhibit tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced NF-kappaB activity, nitric oxide (NO) production, aromatase, quinone reductase 2 (QR2) and COX-1/-2 activities. Palmatosides B (2) and C (3) inhibited TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activity with IC(50) values of 15.7 and 24.1 microM, respectively; multiflorin A (4) inhibited aromatase enzyme with an IC(50) value of 15.5 microM; afzelin (6) showed 68.3% inhibition against QR2 at a concentration of 11.5 microg/ml; palmatoside A (1) showed 52% inhibition against COX-1 enzyme at a concentration of 10 microg/ml; and multiflorin B (5) showed 52% inhibition against nitric oxide production at a concentration of 20 microg/ml. In addition, compounds 3-6 were shown to bind QR2 enzyme using LC-MS ultrafiltration binding assay.Phytochemistry 04/2010; 71(5-6):641-7. · 3.35 Impact Factor -
