Two new quinazolinone nitriles (1 and 2) and one new indole alkaloid (3), together with 13 known compounds, were isolated from the deep-sea-derived MCCC 3A00265. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, with the absolute configurations established by comparing experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and optical rotation (OR) data as well as biogenetic considerations. Viricyanoamides A and B (1 and 2) are the sole representatives of quinazolinones featuring a nitrile group, while solitumidine F (3) incorporates a rare pyrrolidinedione unit as an indole terpenoid.

Mackinazolinone is the main alkaloid isolated from plants of the genus Mackinlaya, essentially distributed in tropical Asia and Australia. There are five Mackinlaya species all containing bioactive alkaloids with a tetrahydropyridoquinazolinone core such as mackinazoline (1) and mackinazolinone (2). The present review retraces the origin of mackinazolinone and compares the different chemical routes to synthesize the natural product, through different methods including classical batch synthesis, solid-phase supported synthesis, microwaved irradiation and photochemistry.

Background: Nicotine, a major component of tobacco, is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. However, the exact mechanisms through which nicotine exerts its harmful effects remain incompletely understood. This study investigates the impact of nicotine-induced mitochondrial fission on human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs).
