Anti-Inflammatory Meroterpenoids of Cordia glazioviana (Boraginaceae)
Silva,Ana Karine O.; Pinto,Francisco C. L.; Canuto,Kirley M.; Braz-Filho,Raimundo; Silva,Rose Anny C.; Santos,Flávia A.; Monteiro,Norberto K. V.The phytochemical reinvestigation from the heartwood of the extracts of Cordia glazioviana led to the isolation of four still undescribed hydroquinones derivatives designated as cordiaquinol D (1), cordiaquinol E (2), (10R)-10,11-dihydrofuran-1,4-dihydroxy-globiferin (3) and 2-[(1’E,6’E)-3’,8’- dihydroxy-3’,7’-dimethylocta-1’,6’-dienyl]-benzene-1,4-diol (4), along with the naphthoquinone 6-[(2’R)-2’-hydroxy-3’,...
Dextrorotatory Chromomycins from the Marine Streptomyces sp. Associated to Paly...
Pinto,Francisco C. L.; Silveira,Edilberto R.; Vasconcelos,Ana Caroline L.; Florêncio,Katharine G. D.; Oliveira,Francisca A. S.; Sahm,Bianca B.A Streptomyces sp. (BRA-384) was selected among nine strains of bacteria isolated from the zoanthids Palythoa caribaeorum due to the high cytotoxic activity presented by its EtOAc extract (inhibitory concentration mean (IC50) of 2 ng mL-1) against colon cancer cell line. From the EtOAc extract of BRA-384 three new chemical entities (A6, A7 and A8) and one dextrorotatory chromomycin (A5), a promising class of an...
Chemical Composition and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of the Decoction from Leave...
Aquino,Nayara C.; Queiroz,Emerson F.; Marcourt,Laurence; Freitas,Lyara B. N.; Araújo,Emmanuel V. O.; Leal,Luzia K. A. M.; Bezerra,Antonio M. E.Myracrodruon urundeuva (Anacardiaceae) is the scientific designation of “aroeira-do-sertão”, a tree well dispersed at the northeastern Brazil. The medicinal use of this plant is widespread throughout the rural population and the inner trunk bark decoction is used to treat cutaneous affections, urinary and respiratory diseases, and gynecological problems. “Aroeira-do-sertão” has been included in the list of nati...
Linear Peptide Analogues from Jatropha’s Orbitides Promote Migration of Human N...
Ramalho,Suelem D.; Pinto,Meri Emili F.; Andricopulo,Renata K.; Sanches,Paulo R. S.; Silveira,Edilberto R.; Cilli,Eduardo M.; Andricopulo,Adriano D.Orbitides are a class of small naturally occurring cyclic peptides with structural and functional diversities. Their chemical properties make this class feasible to be obtained by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Therefore, this synthetic accessibility enables useful application and facilitates the identification of analogues, bioactivity studies, and thus, enables them to be applied to obtain peptide libr...
New Antiproliferative Polyunsaturated Epoxy-Heneicosane Derivatives Isolated fr...
Ávila,Fábio N.; Pinto,Francisco C. L.; Carneiro,Pedro B. M.; Ferreira,Kayanny Q.; Wilke,Diego V.; Nogueira,Nádia A. P.; Silveira,Edilberto R.Two new polyunsaturated 3,4-epoxy-heneicosane derivatives named as epoxy-lobophorene A and epoxy-lobophorene B were isolated from the brown alga Lobophora variegata, in addition to nine known compounds. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated using a combination of 1D/2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The isolated compounds were submitted ...
Withanolides from Leaves of Nicandra physalodes
Carrero,Diego A. S.; Batista,Pedro H. J.; Souza,Luciana G. S.; Pinto,Francisco C. L.; Vasconcelos,Mayron A. de; Teixeira,Edson H.; Canuto,Kirley M.Five new withanolides, designated as 15-oxo-nicaphysalin B, 6β,7α-dihydroxynicandrenone 10, 24α,25β-dihydroxy-nicandrenone-2 and a mixture of the epimers 17-(1α/1β-methylpropanone)-nicandrenone, in addition to six known others, were isolated from the leaf acetone extract from Nicandra physalodes. The complete structures of the five new withanolides, particularly their relative stereochemistries, were establishe...
Bioprospecting Anticancer Compounds from the Marine-Derived Actinobacteria Acti...
Silva,Amaro E. T.; Guimarães,Larissa A.; Ferreira,Elthon G.; Torres,Maria da Conceição M.; Silva,Alison B. da; Branco,Paola C.The actinomycete strain BRA 177 was recovered from sediment samples collected at the St. Peter and St. Paul Archipelago, Brazil. This work accessed the ability of this strain, identified as Actinomadura sp., to produce bioactive metabolites by exploring the genome and characterizing chemistry and cytotoxicity of isolated compounds. From the crude ethyl acetate extract, the pigments nonylprodigiosin, cyclononylp...
Steroids from the Brazilian Zoanthids Palythoa caribaeorum and Palythoa variabilis
Pinto,Francisco C. L.; Almeida,José Gustavo L.; Silveira,Edilberto R.; Costa,Arinice M.; Guimarães,Larissa A.; Wilke,Diego V.; Costa-Lotufo,Letícia V.Two unreported ergostane-type sterols 24(R)-7α-hydroperoxy-ergost-5-en-3β-ol and 6β-carboxyl-24(R)-(8→6)-abeo-ergostan-3β,5β-diol, along with seven known ones were isolated from the hexane and alcohol extracts from the zoanthids Palythoa caribaeorum and Palythoa variabilis. The structures of the new compounds were determined using spectroscopic techniques, including 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), h...
