Sesquiterpenoids from Chloranthus anhuiensis with
Neuroprotective Effects in PC12 Cells
Posted on 2018-05-18 - 18:19
Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity
plays a vital role in neurodegenerative
diseases. Neuroprotection against excitotoxicity has been considered
as an effective experimental approach for preventing and/or treating
excitotoxicity-mediated diseases. In the present study, six
new sesquiterpenoids (1–6)
and 26 known compounds of this type (7–32) were isolated and characterized from the whole plants of Chloranthus anhuiensis. Chlorantolide A (1)
is the first example of a 5,6-seco-germacrane-type
sesquiterpenoid, while phacadinane E (2) is a rare
4,5-seco-cadinane-type sesquiterpenoid. The
structures of the new compounds were determined by spectroscopic analysis
and by calculations of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra.
Their neuroprotective effects in mediating glutamate-induced
PC12 cell apoptosis were evaluated. Compound 26 exhibited
potent neuroprotective activity with an EC50 value of 3.3
± 0.9 μM. Using Hoechst 33258 staining, a caspase-3 activity
assay, and Western blot analysis it was demonstrated that this compound
reduces the apoptosis of PC12 cells through inhibition of caspase-3
activity, while activating the Akt signaling pathway.
