A new intact glucosinolate Cinnamoyl derivative [6'-O-trans-(4″- hydroxy cinnamoyl)-4-(methylsulphinyl) butyl glucosinolate] (A) has been isolated from Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) florets. The compound was isolated and characterized by LC, MS-ESI, FTIR, (1)H and (13)C NMR as well as (1)H-(1)H COSY, DEPT 135° spectrometric experiments.

Article Synopsis
  • Malaria, mainly caused by Plasmodium protozoans, is a significant global health crisis, particularly in Africa, with rising antimalarial drug resistance prompting the need for new treatments.
  • Researchers designed and synthesized a new class of compounds (8a-r) showing promising in vitro activity against the chloroquine-sensitive strain of Plasmodium falciparum, with two compounds (8o and 8l) demonstrating the best efficacy and safety profiles.
  • The study also explored the binding affinities of these compounds to essential heat shock proteins in the parasite, suggesting potential targets for combating drug resistance.

Departament of Pharmaceutical Products, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, campus Pampulha, Avenida Antônio Carlos 6627, 31.270-901, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. Electronic address:

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Echinodorus macrophyllus is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Brazil to treat rheumatic diseases. It is listed as a priority species for the development of herbal preparations for the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). Previous studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and antiedematogenic properties of extracts and fractions from this species, but these preparations were neither standardized nor optimized for anti-arthritis effects.

In this work, we utilized the N-benzylaryl derivative 9 as a lead compound and employed the molecular hybridization strategy by introducing cinnamoyl fragments to successfully design and synthesize 33 novel N-benzylaryl cinnamide derivatives 15a∼15 ag. The in vitro antiproliferative activities were explored, and the preliminary analysis and summary of their structure-activity relationship were conducted. The majority of the compounds demonstrated significant inhibitory potency on MGC-803, HCT-116 and KYSE450 cells with IC values below 0.

Bioavailability of mango (poly)phenols: An evaluation of the impact of the colon, and phenylalanine and tyrosine on the production of phenolic catabolites.

November 2024

A mango pulp purée was ingested by ileostomists, whose colon had been removed surgically, and subjects with a full gastrointestinal (GI) tract, after which ileal fluid, urine and feces were collected over a 24 h period and analysed by UHPLC-HR-MS. The main (poly)phenols in the purée were gallotannins (356 μmol) and two hydroxy-methoxy-cinnamoyl glucose esters (43 μmol) together with the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine (22 μmol) and tyrosine (209 μmol). Analysis of ileal fluid revealed almost all the ingested gallotannins appeared to have broken down in the upper GI tract with the released benzoic acids being rapidly absorbed into the circulatory system prior to urinary excretion mainly as phase-2 metabolites.
