Myrtucommulone (MC) and semimyrtucommulone (S-MC) are unique oligomeric, nonprenylated acylphloroglucinols contained in the leaves of myrtle (Myrtus communis). Although extracts of myrtle have been traditionally used in folk medicine for the treatment of various disorders, studies addressing select
Two new acylphloroglucinol derivatives, 13,14-didehydroxygarcicowin C (1) and 13,14-didehydroxyisoxanthochymol (2), have been isolated from the stems of Garcinia multiflora, together with seven known compounds (3⁻9). The structures of new compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated by MS and extensive 1D/2D
Longisglucinol A (1), a polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP) with a new skeleton, along with two new congeners, longisglucinols B (2) and C (3), were isolated from Hypericum longistylum. Compound 1 features an unparalleled 6/6/6/5 fused ring skeleton
Acylphloroglucinol meroterpenoids are adducts of the acylphloroglucinol unit and polyprenylated fragments (terpenoids) with attractive structures and bioactivities. During study of the medicinal molecules of the genus Hypericum, the first example of dimethylated acylphloroglucinol meroterpenoids
The polyphenol-enriched fraction of an ethanolic hops extract (Humulus lupulus) was separated to provide four acylphloroglucinol-glucopyranosides (1-4). 1-(2-Methylpropanoyl)phloroglucinol-glucopyranoside 1 has been isolated from hops before, whereas 1-(2-methylbutyryl)phloroglucinol-glucopyranoside
A bioassay-guided investigation of Melicope ptelefolia Champ ex Benth (Rutaceae) resulted in the identification of an acyphloroglucinol, 2,4,6-trihydroxy-3-geranylacetophenone or tHGA, as the active principle inhibiting soybean 15-LOX. The anti-inflammatory action was also demonstrated on human
OBJECTIVE
The selective inhibition of prostaglandin (PG)E(2) formation via interference with microsomal PGE(2) synthase (mPGES)-1 could have advantages in the treatment of PGE(2)-associated diseases, such as inflammation, fever and pain, compared with a general suppression of all PG biosynthesis,
In the course of an investigation of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) associated with inflammation, the extract of the flower parts of Hypericum ascyron showed a significant influence to HNE. The responsible metabolites to HNE inhibition were found to be eight polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols,
The natural product phloroglucinol-based derivatives representing monoacyl-, diacyl-, dimeric acyl-, alkylated monoacyl-, and the nitrogen-containing alkylated monoacylphloro- glucinols were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activities against the inflammatory mediators such as inducible
Three undescribed polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) and three tocotrienols derivatives, named as paucinochymol A-F (1-3 and 10-12), together with six known PPAPs, were isolated from the fruits of Garcinia paucinervis. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined
Modulation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) expression using drugs has been proposed to control immunity. Phytochemical investigations on Garcinia species have allowed the isolation of bioactive compounds such as polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs). PPAPs such as
The first examples of type B polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with a bicyclo[5.3.1]hendecane core, hyperberins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from Hypericum beanii, together with three biosynthetic congeners. Their structures were established by a combination of
The acylphloroglucinol hyperforin (Hyp) from St. John's wort possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties which were ascribed among others to the inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase. Here, we investigated whether Hyp also interferes with prostanoid generation in biological systems,
Myrtucommulone (MC), a nonprenylated acylphloroglucinol contained in the leaves of myrtle (Myrtus communis), has been reported to suppress the biosynthesis of eicosanoids by inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase-1 in vitro and to inhibit the release of elastase and the formation of
Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort) is an herb widely used as supplement for mild to moderate depression. Our prior studies established synergistic anti-inflammatory activity associated with 4 bioactive compounds in a fraction of a H. perforatum ethanol extract. Whether these 4 compounds also
