Synthesis of entadamide A and entadamide B isolated from Entada phaseoloides and their inhibitory effects on 5-lipoxygenase[Pubmed: 2805174] |
Two new sulfur-containing amides, Entadamide A (1) and entadamide B (2), isolated from the seeds of Entada phaseoloides, were synthesized by the addition reaction of methanethiol to propiolic acid (5) followed by condensation with ethanolamine by the use of dicyclohexylcarbadiimide. These compounds inhibited the 5-lipoxygenase activity of RBL-1 cells at 10(-4) g/ml. This finding suggests that entadamides A and B may be examples of a new type of antiinflammatory drug. |

Optimization, extraction, and purification of three bioactive compounds from Entada phaseoloides by high-speed countercurrent chromatography[Pubmed: 34424556] |
Abstract
The objective of this paper was to develop a preparative method for the separation and purification of phaseoloidin, Entadamide A, and Entadamide A-β-D-glucopyranoside from the crude extract of Entada phaseoloides by high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) for the first time. Optimized by orthogonal experiments, the extraction conditions were extraction temperature of 65°C, solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:15 (g/mL), ethanol concentration of 40%, and extraction time of 2.5 h. Using n-butanol-acetic acid-water (4:1:5, v/v/v) as the two-phase solvent system, 38.79 mg phaseoloidin (the purity was 99.3% with a recovery of 98.1%), 34.85 mg Entadamide A (the purity was 96.4% with a recovery of 98.5%), and 33.97 mg Entadamide A-β-D-glucopyranoside (the purity was 98.6% with a recovery of 97.7%) were obtained from 500 mg crude extract by HSCCC in head-to-tail elution mode. The retention ratio of stationary phase was 51.0%. According to the antioxidant activity assays, phaseoloidin, Entadamide A, and Entadamide A-β-D-glucopyranoside had certain scavenging abilities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals. |

Sulfur-containing compounds from Clinacanthus siamensis[Pubmed: 14646322] |
Two new sulfur-containing compounds, trans-3-methylsulfonyl-2-propenol (1) and trans-3-methylsulfinyl-2-propenol (2) were isolated together with trans-3-methylthioacrylamide (3), Entadamide A (4) and entadamide C (5) from the leaves of Clinacanthus siamensis. The structures were established on the basis of the spectroscopic data. The compounds were tested for antimalarial and antimycobacterial activity. |
