  • First report of substituted 2H-pyranoids from brown seaweed Turbinaria conoides with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities

    The organic extract of Turbinaria conoides, a brown seaweed harvested from the Gulf of Manner region of Indian peninsular was chromatographically fractionated to yield three substituted 2H-pyranoids, namely methyl-21-yl-[50, 60- dihydro-50-yl-{54-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)- oxy-(52-methylbutyl)}-30-methyl-2H-pyran]-21-methyl butanoate (1), 11-[(30, 60-dihydro-40-methyl-20-oxo-2H-pyran-30-yl)methyl]-10- methylhexyl benzoate (2), and [6-ethyl-3,4-dimethyl-(tetrahydro-20, 20, 60-trimethyl-2H-pyran-30-yl)-2,5-cycloheptadiene]-1-propanoate (3). The compounds 1 and 2 bearing 2H-pyranyl-4-hydroxybenzoyl and 2H-pyranyl-10-methylhexylbenzoate moieties exhibited potential antioxidant activities (IC50 0.54-0.69mg mL?1) as commercial antioxidant (a-tocopherol IC50 0.63-0.73mg mL?1). Likewise, potential bioactivity of the 2H-pyran derivative, 1 against 5-lipoxygenase (IC50 ? 1mg mL?1) along with higher index of selectivity (COX-1 inhibitoryIC50/COX-2 inhibitoryIC50 1.88) indicated their selective antiinflammatory properties against inducible inflammatory mediators than that displayed by commercially available non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (ibuprofen, 0.44). Structure activity relationship analysis of the studied compounds showed that the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties were directly proportional to their electronic properties. The previously undescribed 2H-pyranoids might constitute as potential antioxidative and anti-inflammatory pharmacophores for medicinal applications.
