Oleanane triterpenoids from Akebiae Caulis exhibit inhibitory effects on Abeta42 induced fibrillogenesis.[Pubmed:28054176]

Arch Pharm Res. 2017 Mar;40(3):318-327.

Previous phytochemical investigations of Akebiae Caulis resulted in the isolation of triterpenes, triterpene glycosides, phenylethanoid glycosides and megastigmane glycoside. Amyloid beta (Abeta), the main component of the senile plaques detected in Alzheimer's disease, induces cell death. However, only a limited number of studies have addressed the biological and pharmacological effects of Akebiae Caulis. In particular, the inhibitory activity of Akebiae Caulis against Abeta42 fibrillogenesis remains unclear. Herein, a new triterpene glycoside, akequintoside F (1), along with nine known compounds pulsatilla saponin A (2), Collinsonidin (3), akebonic acid (4), hederagenin (5), 1-(3',4'-dihydroxycinnamoyl) cyclopentane-2,3-diol (6), asperosaponin C (7), leontoside A (8), quinatic acid (9), and quinatoside A (10) were isolated from Akebiae Caulis using repeated column chromatography with silica gel, LiChroprep RP-18, and MCI gel. The chemical structures of compounds 1-10 were illustrated based on 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, including (1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY spectroscopic analyses. Compound 1 a novel compound and known compounds 6 and 7 were isolated for the first time from this plant. Among these compounds, 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7 displayed significant inhibitory effects on Abeta42 induced fibrillogenesis. We present the first report of new compound 1 and the inhibitory effects of components from Akebiae Caulis on Abeta42 fibrillogenesis.

A new triterpenoid saponin from the stem of Akebia trifoliata var. australis.[Pubmed:20183270]

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2009 Dec;11(12):1013-8.

A new triterpene glycoside mutongsaponin F (1), together with five known saponins and two known lipids, was isolated from the 70% ethanol extract of the stems of Akebia trifoliata (Thunb.) Koidz. var. australis (Diels) Rehd. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of the spectroscopic analysis and physicochemical properties as 3-beta-[(beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-O-]-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-30-norolean-12-en-28-oic acid alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester (1), 3-beta-[(beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-O-]-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-30-norolean-12-en-28-oic acid (2), leonticin E (3), Collinsonidin (4), arjunolic acid 28-O-glucopyranoside (5), asiatic acid 28-O-glucopyranoside (6), soya-cerebroside I (7), and 1-O-alpha-L-galactosyl-(1-->6)-O-beta-D-galactosyl-3-O-hexadecanoyl-glycerol (8), respectively.

Saponins and other constituents from the leaves of Aralia elata.[Pubmed:15930787]

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2005 Jun;53(6):696-700.

A new triterpenoid saponin, together with five known saponins, were isolated from the nonpolar n-hexane fraction of the leaves of Aralia elata. The structure of the new saponin, durupcoside C, was elucidated as hederagenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. The known saponins were characterized as 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin 28-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester, hederagenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside, oleanolic acid 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside, hederagenin 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (alpha-hederin), and hederagenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (Collinsonidin). In addition, two known lipids, Arisaema glyceride 3 and ceramide mixtures were also isolated and characterized. Collinsonidin and two known lipids were isolated for the first time from this plant.

Structure-activity relationship of oleanane disaccharides isolated from Akebia quinata versus cytotoxicity against cancer cells and NO inhibition.[Pubmed:15133259]

Biol Pharm Bull. 2004 May;27(5):744-7.

In order to further determine the nature of structure-activity relationship on the cytotoxicities of saponins with 1-->2 and 1-->3 linkages of disaccharides, we isolated guaianin N, Collinsonidin, kalopanaxsaponin A and hederoside D(2) as disaccharides, and patrinia glycoside B-II as a trisaccharide, from the n-BuOH extract of Akebia quinata (Lardizabalaceae). Complete acid hydrolysis of the extract afforded oleanolic acid (1) and hederagenin (2). By sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay, kalopanaxsaponin A containing an alpha-L-rhap-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arap moiety exhibited distinctly higher cytotoxicity (IC(50) 1.8-2.7 microg/ml) against all of the tested cell lines than the other saponins (IC(50), 4-8 microg/ml). These results suggest that the alpha-L-rhap-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arap moiety has a unique structural significance in terms of its cell biochemistry, compared to those oleanane glycosides with other sugar linkages. On the other hand, kalopanaxsaponin A exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on nitric oxide production by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophage 264.7, whereas other saponins had weaker activities.
