Abstract
Fifteen undescribed phenylpropanoyl phloroglucinol derivatives featuring modified isoprenyl and/or geranyl units (1-15), in conjunction with thirteen known analogues (16-28), were obtained from the glandular hairs of the fruit of Mallotus philippensis. Meanwhile, fourteen pairs of new enantiomers [(±)-1-9, (±)-11-15] were further resolved by chiral purification. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments and quantum chemical calculations. Bioactivity evaluation showed that compound 17 exhibited significant anti-bacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with MIC of 6 μg/mL, while compounds 3, 4, 8 and 18 displayed moderate effects with MIC of 24, 12, 24, and 12 μg/mL, respectively. The KEGG enrichment analysis of 17 revealed that the phosphotransferase system (PTS) pathway was significantly enriched. In addition, compound 17 was found to affect the amino acids biosynthesis and amino acids/carbohydrate metabolism, and the qRT-PCR verified the accuracy of the transcriptome analysis.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
