Article Abstract

Lyngbya majuscula and Croton cuneatus were used as prototypes for the dereplication of phorbol ester receptor binding activity using a combination of hplc-uv and online phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu) receptor binding and batch fractionation over either Si gel or diolbonded Si gel. Debromoaplysiatoxin was responsible for the bioactivity of Lyngbya, whereas a complex of potent phorbol esters was detected in C. cuneatus.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored the calming effects of a water-soluble substance derived from the red microalgae Geitler, focusing on its potential to reduce inflammation and pain in skin cells.
  • The research showed that this extract significantly lowered the release of pro-inflammatory molecules IL-1α and NGF in both cell models and when applied to human skin tissue after inducing inflammation.
  • Further analysis identified two key active compounds, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and GABA-alanine, which contribute to the extract's neuro-soothing properties.

This paper reports our effort to develop a comprehensive HPLC-MS(n)-based dereplication strategy for phorbol ester (PE), deoxyphorbol ester (dPE) and ingenol ester (IE) profiling in plant extracts. This strategy is composed of two sequential analysis exploiting specific hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trap instrument modes. A first run was performed using a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode targeting fragmentation of PE and dPE/IE coupled with the acquisition of MS(2) spectrum for the ions at m/z 311 and m/z 313, respectively.

Recently, phorbol esters from Euphorbiaceae have been shown to elicit potent and selective antiviral activity on the replication of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in cell culture. With the objective to found new compounds with anti-CHIKV activities, 45 extracts from various plant parts of 11 Mediterranean Euphorbia and one Mercurialis species were evaluated for selective inhibition of CHIKV replication. All EtOAc extracts, especially those prepared from latex, exhibited significant and selective antiviral activity in a Chikungunya virus-cell-based assay.

Protein kinase C is a ubiquitous enzyme with a key role in cellular function, making it an attractive drug target. Utilising a competitive binding assay for the phorbol ester binding site of the enzyme in a rat brain membrane preparation, screening was undertaken on 686 marine macroorganisms representing a broad range of taxa and environments from throughout Australasia. Of these extracts from 28 organisms significantly inhibited [3H]phorbol dibutyrate binding, while two samples enhanced binding.
