Abstract !

Four new clerodane diterpenes, namely sagittatayunnanosides A–D (1–4), were isolated from the roots of Tinospora sagittata var. yunnanensis, together with two known compounds, tinospinoside C (5) and tinospinoside E (6). The structures of the four new compounds were well elucidated by extensive analyses of the MS, IR, and 1D and 2D NMR data. The cytotoxic and antifouling activities of compounds 1–6 were evaluated.

Tinospora sagittata var. yunnanensis (S. Y. Hu) H. S. Lo, a perennial indeciduous creeping vine belonging to the Menispermaceae family, is mainly distributed in Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces, China. Its roots have widely been used for the treatment of sore throats, diarrhea, and superficial infections [1]. Previous investigations on the genus Tinospora showed that the clerodane diterpenes possess anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifeedant activity [2–6]. In our recent study on the bioactivity of the Tinospora plants, the 95 % ethanolic extract of T. sagittata var. yunnanensis showed cytotoxicity on HeLa, K562, HL60, and HepG2 cells in the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromid (MTT) bioassay and moderate anti-settlement activity against the barnacle Balanus amphitrite (Balanidae). In order to find the active components in this medicinal plant, an extensive phytochemical investigation of the roots of T. sagittata var. yunnanensis was carried out. Our preceding research resulted in the isolation of nine compounds [7, 8]. During the subsequent investigation of T. sagittata var. yunnanensis, four new clerodane diterpenes, named sagittatayunnanosides A–D (1–4), were isolated from the 95 % ethanol extract, together with two known ones, tinospinoside C (5) [9] and tinospinoside E (6) [10]. All six isolates were assayed for their cytotoxicity in HeLa, K562, HL60, and HepG2 cell lines and anti-settlement activity against B. amphitrite. Herein, we present the isolation and structural elucidation, as well as cytotoxic and antifouling activities of the new compounds. Compound 1 was obtained as a colorless powder. The positive ESI‑MS gave a quasi-molecular ion peak at m/z 511, in accordance

with the molecular formula C26H38O10 as revealed by the HRESIMS at m/z 533.2349 [M + Na]+ (calcd. for C26H38O10Na+, 533.2362). The IR spectrum showed the absorptions for hydroxyl (3454 cm−1), carbonyl (1736 cm−1), and olefinic functions " Table 1), two olefinic (1656 cm−1). In the 1H NMR spectrum (l proton signals at δ H 6.59 (1H, dd, J = 3.6, 3.6 Hz, H-3) and 7.42 (1H, brs, H-14) were observed, as well as two methyls at δH 1.27 (3H, s, H-19) and 0.86 (3H, s, H-20). The anomeric proton signal at δH 4.22 (1H, d, J = 8.0 Hz) suggested the presence of a β-linked sugar moiety. Hydrolysis of compound 1 with 10 % HCl in methanol liberated the D-glucose, which was identified by TLC compar" Table 2) spectrum ison with an authentic sample. The 13C NMR (l exhibited 26 carbon signals, of which two pairs of double bonds at δC 140.2 (C-3), 140.0 (C-4), 134.8 (C-13), and 147.7 (C-14) and two carbonyl signals at δ C 177.1 (C-16) and 171.7 (C-18) were displayed. Analyses of the NMR data suggested compound 1 was a diterpene glycoside featuring a clerodane skeleton. However, compound 1 contained an α-substituted butenolide ring, which was determined by the characteristic 1H-1H COSY " Fig. 1) cross-peak due to the broad singlet at δ 7.42 (1H, brs, (l C H-14) coupled with a two proton broad singlet at δH 4.83 (2H, brs, " Fig. 2) of H-14 H-15) [11], as well as the HMBC correlations (l with C-13, 15, and C-16, and H-15 with C-13, 14, and C-16. The α-substituted butenolide ring moiety was assigned to be attached at C-12 by the HMBC correlations of H-14 with C-12, and H-12 with C-13. Comparison of the NMR data of compound 1 with those of marrubiagenine [12] and 1α,7α-dihydroxyneocleroda3,13-dien-16,15 : 18,19-diolide [13] showed the existence of an extra glucose at C-17 in compound 1. The additional β-D-glucopyranosyl moiety linked at C-17 was further supported by the long-range HMBC correlation between H-1′ (δH 4.22) and C-17 (δC 72.7). The C-19 resonance at δC 33.7 (q) established the A/B cis-fusion [12, 14, 15]. In parallel, the HMBC correlations from H2 to C-3 and H-3 to C-18 established the location of a double bond at C-3(4) and carboxylic acid (C-18) at C-4. In order to further characterize the relative configurations of C-5, 8, 9, and C-10, a ROESY experiment was conducted. The clear ROESY correlations " Fig. 3) for H-10/H-19, H-19/H-8 and H-8/H-12 indicated that (l H-10, H-19, and H-8 were on the same side of the molecular plane, and tentatively assuming an α-orientation according to the previously isolated diterpenoids from the Tinospora genus [2–4, 16–26]. Finally, the structure of compound 1 was elucidated " Fig. 1 and named sagittatayunnanoside A (1). as shown in l Compound 2 was isolated as a colorless powder. Its molecular formula was determined as C33H48O17 by the positive HRESIMS at m/z 739.2780 (calcd. for C33H48O17Na+, 739.2789). The 1H and 13 C NMR spectrum showed typical resonances [δH 7.60 (brs, H16), 7.54 (d, J = 2.0 Hz, H-15), 6.52 (d, J = 2.4 Hz, H-14); δC 141.4 (d, C-16), 145.0 (d, C-15), 109.9 (d, C-14)] attributable to a β-substituted furan ring at C-12 in the clerodane-type diterpenoids [27, 28], as well as a trisubstituted olefin [δH 6.52 (d, J = 3.2 Hz, H-3); δC 139.7 (s, C-4), 138.2 (d, C-3)], an ester methyl group [δH " Ta3.76 (s); δC 52.3 (q)], and two β-D-glucopyranosyl moieties (l bles 1 and 2). The D-glucose was also identified by TLC analysis of the acid hydrolyzate and comparison with an authentic sugar sample. Its NMR data were highly similar to those of epitinophylloloside [29] and tinophylloloside [30], except that compound 2 had one more β-D-glucopyranose unit. The HMBC correlation from H-1′′ (δH 4.48 1H, d, J = 7.6 Hz) to C-6′ (δC 70.0) illustrated that the additional β-D-glucopyranose was attached to the C-6′ of the inner glucopyranose. The cleavage of the lactone between C-17 and C-12 in compound 2 differed from tinophylloloside [30]

The ROESY correlations (l α and H‑19/H‑10/H-12/H‑8, together with no cross-peak for H-20/ H-10, suggested the H-2, 8, 10, and 19 were α-orientated and H20 was β-orientated. Consequently, the structure of compound 2 " Fig. 1 and named sagittatayunnawas deduced as depicted in l noside B (2).

firmed the structure of compound 4. The structure of compound " Fig. 1 and named sagittatayunna4 was deduced as shown in l noside D (4). The known compounds 5 and 6 were identified by comparing their NMR data with those in the literatures [9, 10]. The cytotoxic activities of compounds 1–6 were evaluated in vitro by using HeLa, K562, HL60, and HepG2 cell lines. Results are summarized in " Table 3. It can be concluded that compounds 1 and 4 showed l superior inhibitory activity in HeLa and HL60 cells, and compounds 2 and 3 exhibited superior activity against the K562 cell line, with IC50 values of 17.6 and 14.4 µM, respectively. Compounds 5 and 6 possessed moderate cytotoxic activity in K562 cells. Compound 6 was found to possess a superior inhibitory ability in HL60 cells with an IC50 value of 13.1 µM. The ability of compounds 1–6 to inhibit larval settlement was also assessed using a B. amphitrite assay [32]. The results showed that only compounds 1 and 4 possessed moderate activity against B. amphitrite, with EC50 values of 28.3 ± 5.3 and 33.8 ± 6.7 µM, respectively, indicating that the carboxyl group at C-4 was essential for the antifouling activity for these clerodane diterpenes. This is the first report that clerodane diterpenes possess antifouling activity. It could be helpful for researchers to find anti-settlement active chemicals from a natural source. SeaNine211, a wellknown antifouling agent, was used as a positive control and had an EC50 value of 6.8 ± 1.3 µM.

Acidic hydrolysis: Each solution of compounds 1 and 2 (each 5 mg) in a mixture of MeOH (1.0 mL) and 10% HCl (1.0 mL) was stirred at reflux for 4 h. The hydrolysate was allowed to cool, diluted 2fold with H2O, and extracted with EtOAc (3 × 2 mL). The aqueous layer was neutralized with 2 M ammonium hydroxide and concentrated in vacuo to give a residue in which D-glucose was identified by comparison with authentic sugar samples (n-BuOH/ AcOH/H2O 4 : 1 : 5, upper layer; PhOH/H2O, 4 : 1) on TLC (sprayed with aniline phthalate reagent from Sigma-Aldrich, followed by heating). Cytotoxicity assay: Cytotoxic activities were evaluated by a modified MTT method [33] using HeLa, K562, HL60, and HepG2 cell lines. In brief, the cell suspensions (200 mL) at a density of 5 × 104 cells · mL−1 were plated in 96-well microtiter plates and incubated for 24 h at 37 °C in a humidified incubator containing 5 % CO2. The test compound solution (2 mL in DMSO) at different concentrations was added to each well and further incubated for 72 h under the same conditions. The MTT solution (20 mL) was then added to each well and incubated for 4 h. The old medium (150 mL) containing MTT was then gently replaced by DMSO and pipetted to dissolve any formazan crystals that had formed. The absorbance was then determined with a Spectra Max Plus plate reader at 540 nm. Dose-response curves were generated and the IC50 values were defined as the concentration of compound required to inhibit cell proliferation by 50 %. Cisplatin (purity > 99%), an approved agent for the treatment of many tumors, was used as the positive control. Antilarval attachment assay: The antilarval settlement activity of compounds 1–6 and SeaNine211 (purity > 96%) was determined using the larvae of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite (kindly supplied by Prof. Pei-Yuan Qian from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) as described by Dash et al. [32]. The larvae of B. amphitrite were raised to competence according to Thiyagarajan et al. [34]. EC50 (the concentration where 50 % of the larval population was inhibited from settling in comparison with the control) values were calculated as described [35]. Four replicates were run for each sample.
