This study was performed to isolate and identify a compound with antiproliferative activity against human stomach cancer cell lines, from fructose-tryptophan Maillard reaction products (MRPs). The MRPs, prepared from a fructose-tryptophan solution heated at 130 °C for 2 h, were fractionated into five solvent fractions: n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water. The highest antiproliferative activity was found in the chloroform fraction (85.93% at 200 μg/mL), and the active compound from this chloroform fraction was purified by silica gel column chromatography, TLC, and preparative HPLC. The antiproliferative activity (IC50) of the active compound was 42.24 μg/mL, and the active compound was identified as perlolyrine (C16H10N2O2) by 1H/13C NMR, DEPT, HMBC, and LC-ESI-MS. Therefore, this research may be useful in developing perlolyrine as a functional therapeutic agent.

Flazin is a β-carboline-derived alkaloid found in Japanese fermented foods. Here, the potential of flazin as an antioxidant food was studied with particular reference to its effect on the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) system in human hepatocytes (C3A). Flazin and flazin analogues including the decarboxylated derivative perlolyrine were chemically synthesized and compared with each other and with chlorogenic acid and curcumin. Among these compounds, flazin showed the lowest cytotoxicity (IC50 3-fold of the control) cytoprotection ability against a pro-oxidant, although its radical absorbance capacity was relatively low. Flazin increased the expressions of Nrf2-dependent phase II enzyme genes and their products (NQO1, GSTP, and GSH proteins). The strong cytoprotection ability of flazin associated with low log ?P (0-3) is shared by sulforaphane and 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, suggesting the potential value of flazin and flazin-rich foods for the prevention of oxidation-related health disorders.

A mild, efficient and environmentally benign method for synthesis of aromatic β-carbolines via Cu(ii)-catalyzed oxidation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THβCs) was developed, in which air (O2) was used as the clean oxidant. This method has advantages such as environmentally friendliness, mildness, very good tolerance of functional groups, high yielding and easy experiment operation. In addition, this new methodology was successfully applied in the efficient and practical total syntheses of β-carboline alkaloids perlolyrine and flazin.
