RESUMO

To improve the antiproliferative effect of ALC67 (diastereomeric mixture of ethyl 2-phenyl-3-propioloyl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate), its structure was modified via (i) bioisosteric substitution of the phenyl ring by the ferrocene unit and (ii) replacing the propiolamide side-chain in ACL67 with other acyl groups having differing electrophilicities. In this way, a small library of methyl N-acyl-2-ferrocenyl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylates (13 compounds in total) was created and characterized by spectral and crystallographic means. The last N-acylation step was highly diastereoselective toward the cis-diastereomer. In solution, most of the obtained compounds existed as a mixture of two rotamers and displayed a preference for the syn-orientation around the CN bond. A twisted 5T4 envelope conformation was adopted by the derivative containing the N-phenoxyacetyl group in the crystalline state. Two derivatives with chloroacetyl and bromoacetyl groups in the N-3 side chain were cytotoxic to fibroblasts and hepatocellular cancer cells in the low micromolar range (IC50(MRC5) = 9.0 and 11.8 µM, respectively, and IC50(HepG2) = 10.6 and 18.4 µM, respectively) causing an effect similar to the lead compound (IC50(HepG2) = 10.0 µM) and cisplatin (IC50(MRC5) = 4.0 µM and IC50(HepG2) = 7.7 µM). Several derivatives also manifested modest antimicrobial effects against the studied microbial strains (MICs in the range from 0.44 to 4.0 µmol/mL). Our findings demonstrated that the introduction of a ferrocene core facilitated the preparation of optically pure analogs of ALC67 and that the cytotoxicity of compounds may be enhanced by adding proper electrophilic centers to the N-acyl side-chain.

RESUMO

Helichrysum italicum (immortelle) is a dwarf aromatic shrub native to the Mediterranean region. The typical subspecies (italicum) produces an essential oil rich in neryl acetate and characteristic ß-diketones, italidiones, highly valued in the perfume industry. As esters are an important group of aroma-active volatiles, herein the composition of the ester fraction of this immortelle chemotype essential oil was studied in detail. Chromatographic separation of Corsican immortelle essential oil enabled the discovery of numerous potentially olfactory-interesting esters of nerol and/or angelic acid, undetectable by direct GC-MS analyses of the unfractioned oil. Four esters of nerol and medium-chain branched fatty acids represent new natural products, while several other esters have a rather restricted occurrence in the Plant Kingdom.

RESUMO

Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum, Asteraceae) essential oil has been widely used in alternative medicine to accelerate wound healing, as well as in cosmetic products to stimulate skin regeneration and to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It is also considered a natural and safe culinary spice that could also be applied in the food industry as a preservative in the future. The therapeutic efficacy of this oil changes with the natural variability of the composition. Herein we tested and mutually compared the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of four commercial immortelle oils differing in the relative amounts of marker compounds, i.e. neryl esters, α-pinene, γ- and ar-curcumenes, and ß-diketones. The anti-inflammatory effect of selected chromatographic fractions, enriched in the aforementioned constituents, was evaluated by studying toxicity toward rat peritoneal macrophages, their nitric oxide production, myeloperoxidase, and arginase activities. Subsequently, the compositional and activity data were subjected to a multivariate statistical treatment to reveal the possible correlation(s) between the percentage of essential-oil constituents and the observed activities. The obtained results imply that immortelle oil efficiency as an antimicrobial and/or anti-inflammatory agent is most plausibly a result of a synergistic action between its constituents, and/or, rather unexpectedly, the presence of some minor constituents.
