A series of novel β-elemene dimer derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidant activities. The results indicated that most of the target compounds showed more potent cytoprotective effects than positive control vitamin E. In particular, dimer D5 exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity, which was significantly superior to the active compound D1 obtained in our previous study. Besides, D5 did not produce obvious cytotoxicity in normal human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and increased the viability of HUVECs injured by H2O2 in a concentration-dependent manner. Further studies suggested that the cytoprotective action of D5 might be mediated, at least in part, by increasing the intracellular superoxide dismutase activity and nitric oxide secretion as well as decreasing the intracellular malonyldialdehyde content and lactate dehydrogenase release. Furthermore, D5 observably inhibited ROS generation and prevented H2O2-induced apoptosis in HUVECs possibly via inhibiting the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway.

A series of novel furoxan-based NO-donating β-elemene hybrids were designed and synthesized to improve the anticancer efficacy of natural β-elemene. The bioassay results indicated that all of the target compounds exhibited significantly improved antiproliferative activities against three cancer cell lines (SGC-7901, HeLa and U87) compared to parent compound β-elemene. Interestingly, these compounds displayed excellent sensitivity to U87?cells with IC50 values ranging from 173 to 2?nM. Moreover, most compounds produced high levels of NO in?vitro, and the antitumor activity of 11a in U87?cells was markedly attenuated by an NO scavenger (hemoglobin or carboxy-PTIO). Further mechanism studies revealed that 11a caused the G2 phase arrest of the cell cycle and induced apoptosis of U87?cells by preventing the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Moreover, 11a significantly suppressed the tumor growth in H22 liver cancer xenograft mouse model with a tumor inhibitory ratio (TIR) of 64.8%, which was superior to that of β-elemene (TIR, 49.6%) at the same dose of 60?mg/kg. Together, the remarkable biological profiles of these novel NO-donating β-elemene derivatives may make them promising candidates for the intervention of human cancers.

, p. 409 - 418 (2007/10/03)
A microsomal enzyme preparation of chicory roots catalyses the hydroxylation of various sesquiterpene olefins in the presence of NADPH. Most of these hydroxylations take place at an isopropenyl or isopropylidene group. The number of products obtained from any of the substrates is confined to one or, in a few cases, two sesquiterpene alcohols. In addition, the conversion of (+)-valencene into nootkatone through β-nootkatol was observed. The involvement of (+)-germacrene A hydroxylase (a cytochrome P450 enzyme) and other enzymes of sesquiterpene lactone biosynthesis in these reactions is discussed.
