| Description: |
Murrangatin may be a valuable anti-tumor-promoting agent, it
can significantly inhibit Epstein–Barr virus early antigen (EBV–EA) activation, and preserve the high viability of Raji cells, it also exhibits cytotoxicity against cholangiocarcinoma cell line, KKU-100. Murrangatin exhibits antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis (ATCC 33277). Murrangatin also shows soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitory activity with IC50 values 13.9±6.5uM. Murrangatin and murracarpin may be a new backbone for developing inhibitors of cyclooxygenase 2, they show chondroprotective activity by downregulation of interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factorα, prostaglandins E2,and matrix metalloproteinases -13, and both of them may be a new backbone for developing inhibitors of cyclooxygenase 2. |

METHODS AND RESULTS:
Column chromatography was employed to separate the compounds; interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor α, prostaglandins E2, and matrix metalloproteinases-13 were determined by ELISA; the docking with cyclooxygenase 2 was investigated by AutoDock 4.2 software. Murrangatin and murracarpin both significantly down-regulated the concentrations of interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor α, prostaglandins E2 in the rat osteoarthritis serum and prostaglandins E2 and matrix metalloproteinases-13 in the osteoarthritis chandrocytes cultured solution. The docking results showed that they shared a similar binding conformation with that of Indomethacin. Murrangatin and murracarpin both had lower affinity with cyclooxygenase 2, probably due to lack of carboxyl group coordinating to Arg120.
CONCLUSIONS:
Both Murrangatin and murracarpin show chondroprotective activity by downregulation of interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor α, prostaglandins E2, and matrix metalloproteinases-13, and both of them might be a new backbone for developing inhibitors of cyclooxygenase 2. | | Cancer Lett. 1999 Apr 26;138(1-2):87-92. | | Anti-tumor-promoting effects of 8-substituted 7-methoxycoumarins on Epstein-Barr virus activation assay.[Pubmed: 10378778] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In a search for anti-tumor-promoting agents, we carried out a primary screening of twenty-nine 8-substituted and four 6-substituted derivatives of 7-methoxycoumarins isolated from plants of the Murraya and/or Citrus species (Rutaceae), examining their possible inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in Raji cells. This investigation indicated that the prenyl (3-methyl-2-butenyl) or 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyl (or butenyl) unit as an isoprenoid moiety at C-8 on the 7-methoxycoumarin nucleus plays an important role in the anti-tumor-promoting activity.
CONCLUSIONS:
Some of the 8-substituted 7-methoxycoumarins isolated from Murraya species, murrangatin (7), minumicrolin (10) and chloticol (18), were found to significantly inhibit EBV-EA activation, and preserved the high viability of Raji cells, suggesting that 7, 10 and 18 might be valuable anti-tumor-promoting agents. | | Pak J Pharm Sci. 2015 Nov;28(6):1947-51. | | Coumarins and flavonoid from Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack: Antibacterial and anti-inflammation activity.[Pubmed: 26639491] | The ethyl acetate extract of leaves of Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack was described in the previous in vitro study on the inhibition effect on the growth of periodontopathic bacteria and the reduction of cytokines from LPS-stimulated macrophages.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In this study, four coumarins including Murrangatin (1), Murrangatin acetate (2), murranganonesenecionate (3), micropubescin (4) and one flavonoid, 3', 4', 5', 7-tetramethoxyflavone (5) were isolated from the leaves of ethyl acetate extract of M. paniculata. MTT assay was used to test cytotoxicity on human gingival fibroblast and monocytes. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial effect against Porphyromonas gingivalis (ATCC33277) and anti-inflammation on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammation using monocyte cells.
CONCLUSIONS:
All isolated compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis (ATCC 33277). Murranganonesenecionate (3) was highly potent anti-inflammation properties. The coumarin constituents from M. paniculata leaves might be potential lead molecules for the development of antimicrobial drugs for treating periodontal disease. |
