The Haemolytic Assay

Erythrocytes (RBC) were isolated from human blood (EDTA whole blood, collected randomly). 50 ul of the 10% RBC suspension (in PBS) was added to 2 ml of sample solutions (concentration range from 0.1 ug/ml to 400 ug/ml) in PBS. The mixture was vortexed briefly and sat for 60 min at room temperature. The mixture was spun at 3K for 10 min and the relative amounts of lysed hemoglobin in the supernatant were measured at 540 nm. The synthetic compounds of present application were tested with this method.

Acid Hydrolysis of Saponin

15 mg Xanifolia-Y was dissolved in 1 ml of methanol. 1 ml of 2N HCl was then added. The mixture was refluxed in 80C water bath for 5 hours. The solution was then neutralized by adding 2 ml of 1N NaOH (to final pH 4-6). The aglycone was then extracted with ethylacetate 3 ml×2. The extracts were collected and pooled. Further isolation of aglycone (ACH-Y) was achieved by HPLC with isocratic elution of 80-100% acetonitrile. Repeating the experiment with compounds Z4, Y10, Y2, Y8, Y7, Y0, X, M10 and ESCIN(bES) gives the following compounds respectively: ACH-Z4, ACH-Y10, ACH-Y2, ACH-Y8, ACH-Y7, ACH-Y0, ACH-X, ACH-E, ACH-Z5, ACH-M10 and ACH-bES.

Removal of the Acyl Group by Alkaline Hydrolysis

20 mg of Xanifolia-Y was dissolved in 0.5 ml of 1N NaOH. The solution was incubated in 80C water bath for 4 hours. It was cooled to room temperature before being neutralized with 0.5 ml 1N HCl (adjust pH to about 3). The mixture was extracted with 2 ml 1-butanol 3 times. The butanol fractions were collected and lyophilized. The hydrolyzed saponin was further purified with HPLC in a C-18 column eluted with 25% acetonitrile.

Core Compound

A core compound or pentacyclic triterpenes, hydroxylated triterpenes is obtained by acid and alkaline hydroysis of saponin from natural sources. A pentacyclic triterpene can also be obtained by synthetic methods. A method for synthesizing the core compound is as follows:

Beta-Escin, compound Y, Y10, Y2, Y8, Y7, Y0, X, or M10 dissolved in 1M NaOH (20 mg/ml) was incubated at 70C for 5 hours. The hydrolyzed solution was neutralized with HCl and the water was evaporated by lyophilization. The product was dissolved in 50% methanol and 1N HCl. The mixture was incubated at 70C for 5 hours. The solution was neutralized with NaOH. The hydrolyzed product was extracted with ethylacetate, which was subsequently removed by evaporation. Further purification of the hydrolyzed product of core compounds including (E4A) were archived with FPLC chromatography in a C18 column equilibrated with 70% acetonitrile/TFA at the flow rate of 1 ml/min. The core compounds are obtained.

The saponins are partially hydrolyzed into a mixture of products which can be separated by HPLC. Specific partial hydrolysis of saponins can also be achieved with enzymes. The glycosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of the glycosidic linkage. Galactosidase is an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of galactosides. Glucosidase is an enzyme which breaks glucose from saponin. Other enzyme examples are xylanases, lactase, amylase, chitinase, sucrase, maltase, and neuraminidase.

The sugar moiety of the triterpenoid saponin (example Xanifolia Y) can be removed by acid hydrolysis. The synthetic compound of ACH-Y is obtained. ACH-Y is a triterpene with acyl groups but no sugar moiety. The acyl group of the saponin (example Xanifolia Y) can be removed by alkaline hydrolysis. The synthetic compound AKOH-Y can be obtained. AKOH-Y is a pentacyclic triterpene with sugar moieties. A pentacyclic triterpene can be obtained by acid and alkaline hydroysis of saponins from natural sources. A pentacyclic triterpene can be obtained by synthetic methods (Reference: Surendra et al., Rapid and Enantioselective Synthetic Approches to Germanicol and Other Pentacyclic Triterpenes, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2008, 130(27), 8865-8869). Pentacyclic triterpenes with sugar moieties can also be obtained by synthesis (Reference: Ple et al., Synthesis of L-arabinopyranose containing hederagenin saponins, Tetrahedron 61 (2005) 4347-4362). Acylation is the process of adding an acyl group to a compound. The Friedel-Crafts reaction is an example of this process. An active compound can be obtained by acylating a pentacyclic triterpenes, or hydroxylated triterpenes.

Methods and Results. ES2 or Hey8A cells were plated in T25 flasks with medium containing 5 ug/ml of compounds selected from structure (2A) including E4A-Tig-R, E4A-Tig-V, E4A-Tig-S, E4A-Tig-N, E4A-Tig-Q, E4A-Tig-T.

Compare to no drug controls, 80±4% of ES2 cells and 60±4% of Hey8A cells were found attached to flasks under this condition. At 5 ug/ml of above compounds, over 90% of unattached cells are alive as determined by the trypan Blue exclusion assay and by their ability to re-attach to flasks when plating in medium without tested compounds. However, with 10 ug/ml tested compounds, less than 40% of cells attached to flasks and many of them are dead cells. This experiment shows that tested compounds inhibit cells adhesion process.
