A new compound namely (13-(3,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1,6-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-1H-isochromen-8(5H)-one (1) was isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the borne fungi Screlotium rolfsii. Its chemical structure was elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Screlotiumol 1 were evaluated for their effects on the reversion of multidrug resistant (MDR) mediated by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) of the soil borne fungi. The multidrug resistant P-glycoprotein is a target for chemotherapeutic drugs in cancer cells. In the present study rhodamine-123 exclusion screening test on human mdr1 gene transfected mouse gene transfected L5178 and L5178Y mouse T-cell lymphoma which showed excellent MDR reversing effect in a dose dependent manner against mouse T-lymphoma cell line. Moreover, molecular docking studies of compound-1 also showed better results as compared with the standard. Therefore the preliminary results obtained from this study suggest that screlotiumol 1 could be used as a potential agent for the treatment of cancer.

Aromatic diamine monomers containing allylic ester linkage, 1,5-bis(4-aminobenzoate)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (4-DABTN) and 1,5-bis(3-amin obenzoate)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (3-DABTN) were synthesized through the reaction of 1,5-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene and 4- or 3-nitrobenzoly chloride. By the reaction of these diamines with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) or 4,4-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), poly(amic acid)s were obtained. The inherent viscosities of the poly(amic acid)s were between 0.55 and 1.31 dL/g. The poly(amic acid)s were converted to polyimides by chemical imidization. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) thermograms of these polyimides showed temperatures of 5% weight loss between 323 and 389$^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen atmosphere. The model compound ,1,5-bis (4-nitrobenzoate)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (4-DNBTN), was decomposed to 4-nitrobenzoic acid and 5-(4-nitrobenzoate)-3,4-dihydronaphthalene upon addition of CF$_3$COOH.

Salsolinol (1-methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline) is a compound derived from dopamine metabolism and is capable of causing dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Oxidative modification of neurofilament proteins has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, oxidative modification of neurofilament-L (NF-L) by salsolinol and the inhibitory effects of histidyl dipeptides on NF-L modification were investigated. When NF-L was incubated with 0.5 mM salsolinol, the aggregation of protein was increased in a time-dependent manner. We also found that the generation of hydroxyl radicals (${\bullet}OH$) was linear with respect to the concentrations of salsolinol as a function of incubation time. NF-L exposure to salsolinol produced losses of glutamate, lysine and proline residues. These results suggest that the aggregation of NF-L by salsolinol may be due to oxidative damage resulting from free radicals. Carnosine, histidyl dipeptide, is involved in many cellular defense processes, including free radical detoxification. Carnosine, and anserine were shown to significantly prevent salsolinol-mediated NF-L aggregation. Both compounds also inhibited the generation of ${\bullet}OH$ induced by salsolinol. The results indicated that carnosine and related compounds may prevent salsolinol-mediated NF-L modification via free radical scavenging.

This work aimed to classify Aspergillus (8 species, 28 strains) by using a secondary metabolite profile-based chemotaxonomic classification technique. Secondary metabolites were analyzed by liquid chromatography ion-trap mass spectrometry (LC-IT-MS) and multivariate statistical analysis. Most strains were generally well separated from each section. A. lentulus was discriminated from the other seven species (A. fumigatus, A. fennelliae, A. niger, A. kawachii, A. flavus, A. oryzae, and A. sojae) with partial least-squares discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) with five discriminate metabolites, including 4,6-dihydroxymellein, fumigatin, 5,8-dihydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid, cyclopiazonic acid, and neosartorin. Among them, neosartorin was identified as an A. lentulus-specific compound that showed anticancer activity, as well as antibacterial effects on Staphylococcus epidermidis. This study showed that metabolite-based chemotaxonomic classification is an effective tool for the classification of Aspergillus spp. with species-specific activity.

In recent years, tyrosine kinases (TKs) have been the target to combat cancers, and most of the developed inhibitors are of synthetic origin. Natural compounds that have the properties as the TK's inhibitors are very limited. This paper described the isolation of a new dammarane triterpene from the tree bark of Sandoricum koetjape, along with three known related dammaranes from the damar resin of Shorea javanica, as well as their inhibitory properties against eight receptor TKs (RTKs: EGFR, HER2, HER4, IGF1R, InsR, KDR, PDGFRα, and PDGFRβ). Based on the NMR and mass spectral data the new compound was identified as (12β,20S)-12,20-dihydroxy-3,4-seco-dammaran-4,24-dien-3-oic acid (12β-hydroxydammarenolic acid) (1), while the three known compounds were identified as (20S)-20-hydroxy-3,4-seco-dammaran-4,24-dien-3-oic acid (dammarenolic acid) (2), (3β,20S)-3,20-dihydroxydammaran-24-ene (3), and (20S)-3-oxo-20-hydroxydammaran-24-ene (4). The tyrosine kinase assay of the four compounds resulted only 1 and 2 at concentration of 10 μM that had weak activity against EGFR and InsR, with their % inhibitory were 30%, 27% (1), 45%, and 32% (2), respectively. The results suggested that the presence of a linear carboxylic acid group in both compounds could be of significance to the inhibitory properties against the two RTKs.
