NO-Releasing Enmein-Type Diterpenoid Derivatives with Selective Antiproliferative Activity and Effects on Apoptosis-Related Proteins

Abstract: A series of nine enmein-type ent-kaurane diterpenoid and furoxan-based nitric oxide (NO) donor hybrids (10a-i) were designed and synthesized from commercially available oridonin (1). These hybrids were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against Bel-7402, K562, MGC-803, and CaEs-17 human cancer cell lines and L-02 normal liver cells. The antiproliferative activity against tumor cells was stronger than the lead compound 1 and parent molecule 9 in most cases. Especially, compound 10f showed the strong… Show more

“…Diterpenoids are important and widely distributed natural compounds with various biological effects, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and immune modulation effects [ 32 ]. Enmein is a diterpenoid extracted from Isodon japonicus Hara that exhibits antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and immune modulation effects [ 16 , 17 , 33 ]. The present study provides the first description of the role of enmein in the central glutamate system, including its ability to regulate glutamate release from rat cerebrocortical nerve terminals and exhibit neuroprotective effects in a rat model of KA-induced glutamate excitotoxicity.…”

“…Enmein is a diterpenoid derived from the plant Isodon japonicus Hara that is widely used in dietary supplements and folk medicine [ 14 ]. Enmein has antibacterial [ 15 ], anti-inflammatory [ 16 ], antitumor [ 17 ], and immunosuppressive effects [ 18 ]. There is currently no data to support the effects of enmein on the central glutamate system.…”

“…Apoptosis is a complex process in which various protein signals are transmitted through several different pathways (25). Caspases, which are the convergence points of multiple apoptotic pathways, regulate the final execution of apoptosis (26,27). Thus, caspase activation is an essential link in apoptotic signal transduction (28).…”
