Abstract

Tetrameles nudliflora is one of the endemic plants in Wallace region, especially in Mekongga Forest, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. As part of our project in the field of natural drug discovery based on local bioresources, this study aimed to isolate secondary metabolite compounds from the ethyl acetate fractions of the leaves of T. nudiflora and evaluate their cytotoxic activities against breast carcinoma cancer lines, MCF-7. The methods used were various chromatography techniques such as vacuum column chromatography, gravitation column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, preparative thin layer chromatography, and re-crystallization using two different organic solvents. In the present study, two flavonoid compounds, kaempferol (1) and quercetin (2) were identified. The structures of 1-2 were determined using serial spectroscopic techniques, including mass spectrometry, one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance. Moreover, using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay method, both compounds showed in vitro cytotoxic activity IC50 of 34.162 and 133.148 μg mL-1, respectively against MCF-7 cell lines.

Abstract

Two eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the stem bark of Dysoxylum gaudichaudianum: 6α-hydroxy-eudesm-4(15)-en-1-one (1) and eudesm-4(15),7-dien-1β-ol (2). This study represents the first report of these compounds not only from D. gaudichaudianum but also from the genus Dysoxylum. The cytotoxic potential of two sesquiterpenoids was assessed against human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cells employing the Resazurin-based PrestoBlue assay. Using cisplatin as a positive control, compound 1 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity with an IC₅₀ of 28.04 µM, whereas compound 2 showed comparatively weaker activity, with an IC₅₀ of 58.37 µM. Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, including HR-ESI-MS, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR. Structure–activity relationship analysis indicates that hydroxylation at C-6 enhances cytotoxic activity, whereas the C-6/C-7 olefinic moiety reduces potency, likely due to increased molecular rigidity, highlighting key structural features for activity modulation in the eudesmane scaffold.

Abstract

Three triterpenoid compounds, belonging to the penta- and tetracyclic groups, were successively isolated from the stembark of Aglaia cucullata and identified as b-amyron (1), dammaradienon (2), and cabralealactone (3). After extensive extraction, chromatographic separation and purification, compounds 1 to 3 were gained. Spectroscopic analysis in addition to HRMS, FTIR, 1D and 2D NMR analysis were utilized to determine the chemical structure. After that, compounds 1 to 3 were tested against breast cancer, melanoma as well as normal kidney cells (MCF-7, B16-F10, and CV-1, respectively). The resulted cytotoxicity test revealed that compound 1 had the best cytotoxicity against all cells compared with the other isolated compounds. This result suggests that the pentacyclic triterpenoid core in compound 1 increases cytotoxicity compared with a tetracyclic skeleton.
