Xanthones with Potential Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-HIV Effects from the Stems and Leaves of Cratoxylum cochinchinense.

ABSTRACT: Four new xanthones, cratocochinones A-D (1-4), together with eight known analogues (5-12), were isolated from the stems and leaves of Cratoxylum cochinchinense. The chemical structures of cratocochinones A-D (1-4) were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and the known compounds were identified by comparisons with the spectral data reported in the literature. All isolated compounds 1-12 were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities and anti-HIV-1 activities. Compounds 1-12 showed remarkable inhibitory activities on nitric oxide (NO) production induced by lipopolysaccharide in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells in vitro, with IC₅₀ values in the range of 0.86 ± 0.05 to 18.36 ± 0.21 µM. Meanwhile, compounds 1-12 exhibited significant anti-HIV-1 activities with EC₅₀ which ranged from 0.22 to 11.23 µM. These findings indicate that the discoveries of these xanthones, isolated from the stems and leaves of C. cochinchinense, showing significant anti-inflammatory and anti-HIV-1 effects could be of great importance to the research and development of new natural anti-inflammatory and anti-HIV agents.

Project description:Introduction: The root of Cratoxylum cochinchinense has been widely used as Chinese folk medicine to cure fevers, burns, and abdominal complications because it contains various bioactive metabolites such as xanthones, triterpenes, and flavonoids. In this study, we estimated bacterial neuraminidase inhibition with a series of xanthones from C. cochinchinense. BNA has connected to various biological functions such as pathogenic bacteria infection inflammatory process after infection and biofilm formation. Methods: The identification of xanthones (1-6) bearing geranyl and prenyl groups was established by spectroscopic data using UV, IR, NMR, and HREIMS. BNA inhibitory modes of isolated xanthones were investigated by Double-reciprocal plots. Moreover, the competitive inhibitor was evaluated the additional kinetic modes determined by kinetic parameters (k 3, k 4, and K i app). The molecular docking (MD) and molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) studies also provided the critical information regarding the role of the geranyl and prenyl groups against BNA inhibition. Results: A series of xanthones (1-6) appended prenyl and geranyl groups on the A-ring were isolated, and compounds 1-3 were shown to be new xanthones. The analogues within this series were highly inhibited with excellent affinity against bacterial neuraminidase (BNA). A subtle change in the prenyl or geranyl motif affected the inhibitory potency and behavior significantly. For example, the inhibitory potency and binding affinity resulting from the geranyl group on C4: xanthone 1 (IC50 = 0.38 μM, KA = 2.4434 × 105 L·mol-1) were 100-fold different from those of xanthone 3 (IC50 = 35.8 μM, KA = 0.0002 × 105 L·mol-1). The most potent compound 1 was identified as a competitive inhibitor which interacted with BNA under reversible slow-binding inhibition: K i app = 0.1440 μM, k 3 = 0.1410 μM-1s-1, and k 4 = 0.0203 min-1. The inhibitory potencies (IC50) were doubly confirmed by the binding affinities (KA). Discussion: This study suggests the potential of xanthones derived from C. cochinchinense as promising candidates for developing novel BNA inhibitors. Further research and exploration of these xanthones may contribute to the development of effective treatments for bacterial infections and inflammatory processes associated with BNA activity.
