AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Three new 18-oxygenated ent-kaurane diterpenoids, isoleuconins A-C (1-3) and ten known diterpenoids were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon leucophyllus. The structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis. All of the compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity. Rabdokunmin A (13) showed significant cytotoxicity against HT-29 cells, with an IC50 value of 6.2 microM.

Three new oxygenated steroids, sinulasterols A-C (1-3), along with seven known related steroids 4-10, were isolated from the Chinese soft coral Sinularia depressa. The structures of the new compounds were established from extensive spectroscopic data analyses and by comparison of their spectral data with those reported in the literature. Among the new compounds, metabolites 1 and 2 featured on unusual C-18 oxygenated pattern.

Previously, the presence of a wide variety of chemically diverse steroids has been identified in both flora and fauna. Despite the relatively small differences in chemical structures and large differences in physiological function of steroids, new discoveries indicate that plants and animals are more closely related than previously thought. In this regard, the present study gathers supporting evidence for shared phylogenetic roots of structurally similar steroids produced by these two eukaryotic taxa.

18-Hydroxycortisol (18-OHF) and 18-oxocortisol (18-oxoF) are derivatives of cortisol found in primary aldosteronism but whose origin and regulation in normal subjects are uncertain. 18-OHF can be synthesized by zona fasciculata 11-beta hydroxylase; 18-oxoF can only be produced by zona glomerulosa aldosterone synthase (AS). Stably transfected cell lines expressing either CYP11B1 (11beta-hydroxylase) or CYP11B2 (AS) were incubated with cortisol and other substrates over a range of concentrations.
