Dimeric Diarylheptanoids with Neuroprotective Activities from Rhizomes of Alpinia officinarum.
ACS omega, 2020Co-Authors: Hui Liu, Xiao-jun Huang, Xiaojun Wang, Qiaoyun Shi, Qinghua Zhang, Qing-wen Zhang, Ying WangAbstract:Two novel dimeric diarylheptanoids, alpinidinoids A [(±)-1] and B (2), with two unusual coupling patterns, together with a new naturally occurring diarylheptanoid dimer possessing a rare pyridine ring linkage (alpinidinoid C, 3), were isolated from the rhizomes of Alpinia officinarum. Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic methods and theoretical calculations. All isolates were examined for their neuroprotective activities against oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) damage in primary cortical neurons. Remarkably, the dextrorotatory enantiomer of alpinidinoid A [(+)-1] significantly ameliorated OGD/R-induced neuronal apoptosis, which was dependent on the activation of the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

PHMH, a diarylheptanoid from Alpinia officinarum attenuates VEGF-induced angiogenesis via inhibition of the VEGFR-2 signaling pathway
Food & function, 2019Co-Authors: Weihuan Huang, Ying Wang, Yong Ding, Min Liu, Mei Wang, Wei ZhangAbstract:The rhizome of Alpinia officinarum Hance, a popular spice used as a condiment in China and Europe, has various reported bioactivities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, its anti-angiogenic activity has not previously been reported. In this study, a diarylheptanoid was isolated from Alpinia officinarum and identified as 1-phenyl-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-4E-en-3-heptanone (PHMH). We demonstrated that PHMH exerts anti-angiogenic activity both in vitro and in vivo. PHMH inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced viability, migration, invasion and tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro, and also suppressed VEGF-induced sprout formation of rat aorta ex vivo. Furthermore, PHMH was found to block VEGF-induced vessel formation in mice and suppress angiogenesis in both zebrafish and chorioallantoic membrane models. Mechanistic studies indicated that PHMH inhibited VEGF-induced VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) auto-phosphorylation and resulted in the blockage of VEGFR-2-mediated signaling cascades in HUVECs, including the Akt/mTOR, ERK1/2, and FAK pathways. Our findings provide new insights into the potential application of PHMH as a therapeutic agent for anti-angiogenesis.

Evaluation of Diarylheptanoid-Terpene Adduct Enantiomers from Alpinia officinarum for Neuroprotective Activities.
Journal of natural products, 2018Co-Authors: Hui Liu, Xiao-jun Huang, Yinghui Peng, Xiaojie Huang, Lei Shi, Ying WangAbstract:Two pairs of new diarylheptanoid-monoterpene adduct enantiomers, (±)-alpininoids A and B [(±)-1 and (±)-2], as well as three pairs of new diarylheptanoid-sesquiterpene adduct enantiomers, (±)-alpininoids C-E [(±)-3-(±)-5], together with four known diarylheptanoids (6-9) were isolated from the rhizomes of Alpinia officinarum. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and computational calculation methods. The skeletons of these cyclohexene-containing hybrid natural products were hypothesized to be generated via a crucial Diels-Alder cycloaddition between the diarylheptanoids (7 and 8) and terpenes, of which 1 represents a new carbon skeleton. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their neuroprotective effects against MPP+ (1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium)-induced cortical neuron injury. At a concentration of 16 μM, (+)-1 significantly increased cell viability when compared with MPP+ treatment alone.

A new diarylheptanoid from Alpinia officinarum promotes the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.
Natural product research, 2017Co-Authors: Zhang Xuguang, Yong Wang, Xiaopo Zhang, Feng Chen, Li Yonghui, Yinfeng Tan, Jingwen Gong, Xia ZhongAbstract:A new diarylheptanoid, namely trans-(4R,5S)-epoxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone (1), and a new natural product, 7-(4″-hydroxy-3″-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-hepta-4E,6E-dien-3-one (2), were obtained from the aqueous extract of Alpinia officinarum Hance, together with three other diarylheptanoids, 5-hydroxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone (3), 1,7-diphenyl-4E-en-3-heptanone (4) and 5-methoxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone (5). The structures were characterised mainly by analysing their physical data including IR, NMR and HRMS. This study highlights that the 4,5-epoxy moiety in 1 is rarely seen in diarylheptanoids. In addition, the five isolates were tested for their differentiation activity of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The results showed that these compounds could dose-dependently promote adipocyte differentiation without cytotoxicity (IC50 > 100 μM).
