RESUMO

Phytochemical investigation of the alkaloid extract of Palicourea sessilis by LC-HRMS/MS using molecular networking and an in silico MS/MS fragmentation approach suggested the presence of several new monoterpene indole alkaloids. These compounds were isolated by semipreparative HPLC, and their structures confirmed by means of HRMS, NMR, and ECD measurements as 4-N-methyllyaloside (3), 4-N-methyl-3,4-dehydrostrictosidine (4), 4ß-hydroxyisodolichantoside (6), and 4α-hydroxyisodolichantoside (7), as well as the known alkaloids alline (1), N-methyltryptamine (2), isodolichantoside (5), and 5-oxodolichantoside (8). In addition, the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of the compounds was evaluated up to 50 µM.

RESUMO

The multifactorial nature of Alzheimer's disease calls for the development of multitarget agents addressing key pathogenic processes. To this end, by following a docking-assisted hybridization strategy, a number of aminocoumarins were designed, prepared, and tested as monoamine oxidases (MAOs) and acetyl- and butyryl-cholinesterase (AChE and BChE) inhibitors. Highly flexible N-benzyl-N-alkyloxy coumarins 2-12 showed good inhibitory activities at MAO-B, AChE, and BChE but low selectivity. More rigid inhibitors, bearing meta- and para-xylyl linkers, displayed good inhibitory activities and high MAO-B selectivity. Compounds 21, 24, 37, and 39, the last two featuring an improved hydrophilic/lipophilic balance, exhibited excellent activity profiles with nanomolar inhibitory potency toward hMAO-B, high hMAO-B over hMAO-A selectivity and submicromolar potency at hAChE. Cell-based assays of BBB permeation, neurotoxicity, and neuroprotection supported the potential of compound 37 as a BBB-permeant neuroprotective agent against H2O2-induced oxidative stress with poor interaction as P-gp substrate and very low cytotoxicity.

RESUMO

“Mulungu” (Erythrina verna Vell., Fabaceae.) is an arboreal specie native to southeastern Brazil, used for medicinal purposes. This plant is characterized by the presence of alkaloids that have demonstrated anxiolytic activity. Due to this activity, this plant is listed by the Brazilian National Program of Medicinal Plants and Herbal Medicines. However, bibliographic information is lacking regarding this species. This study aims to describe E. verna barks, macro and microscopically, as well as some physicochemical parameters for the quality control of its raw material. In addition, the chromatographic profile of its alkaloid fraction and optimization of extraction methods for crude extract production has also been performed.

Sin embargo, la información bibliográfica es escasa con respecto a esta especie. Este estudio tiene como objetivo describir E. Verna corteza, macro y microscópicamente, así como algunos parámetros físico-químicos para el control de la calidad de la materia prima fresca. Además, el perfil cromatográfico de la fracción alcaloidica y la optimización de métodos de extracción para la producción de extracto crudo también fue realizada.

RESUMO

Thirteen Psychotria alkaloids were evaluated regarding their interactions with acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and monoamine oxidases A and B (MAO-A and MAO-B), which are enzymatic targets related with neurodegenerative diseases. Two quaternary ß-carboline alkaloids, prunifoleine and 14-oxoprunifoleine, inhibited AChE, BChE and MAO-A with IC(50) values corresponding to 10 and 3.39 µM for AChE, 100 and 11 µM for BChE, and 7.41 and 6.92 µM for MAO-A, respectively. Both compounds seem to behave as noncompetitive AChE inhibitors and time-dependent MAO-A inhibitors. In addition, the monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) angustine, vallesiachotamine lactone, E-vallesiachotamine and Z-vallesiachotamine inhibited BChE and MAO-A with IC(50) values ranging from 3.47 to 14 µM for BChE inhibition and from 0.85 to 2.14 µM for MAO-A inhibition. Among the tested MIAs, angustine is able to inhibit MAO-A in a reversible and competitive way while the three vallesiachotamine-like alkaloids display a time-dependent inhibition on this target. Docking calculations were performed in order to understand the binding mode between the most active ligands and the selected targets. Taken together, our findings established molecular details of AChE, BChE and MAO-A inhibition by quaternary ß-carboline alkaloids and MIAs from Psychotria, suggesting these secondary metabolites are scaffolds for the development of multifunctional compounds against neurodegeneration.

RESUMO

Os terpenóides constituem um vasto grupo de metabólitos secundários com ações sobre o SNC, destacando-se suas atividades sedativa, ansiolítica, antinociceptiva, anticonvulsivante, pró-convulsivante e alucinógena. Neste trabalho foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre terpenóides com ações descritas no SNC, enfocando moléculas e sistemas neurotransmissores relacionados com sua atividade. As substâncias abordadas encontram-se divididas em mono, sesqui, di, tri e meroterpenóides e incluem compostos isolados e plantas que apresentam ação principalmente sobre os sistemas neurotransmissores GABAérgico, glutamatérgico, dopaminérgico e opióide.


The terpenoids are a large group of secondary metabolites which display many activities in the CNS, such as sedative, ansiolytic, antinociceptive, anticonvulsant, pro-convulsant and hallucinogenic. In this work we performed a research on terpenoids that exert effects on the CNS, focusing molecules and neurotransmitter systems related to their actions. The substances approached were classified as mono, sesqui, di, tri and meroterpenoids and include isolated compounds and plants which exert activities mainly on GABAergic, glutamatergic, dopaminergic and opioid neurotransmitter systems.
