<p>A phytochemical study of the root and bark of
<italic>Brucea antidysenterica</italic>
J. F. Mill. (Simaroubaceae) afforded three new compounds, including a stilbene glycoside bruceanoside A (
<bold>1</bold>
), and two canthinone alkaloids bruceacanthinones A (
<bold>3</bold>
) and B (
<bold>4</bold>
), along with ten known secondary metabolites, rhaponticin (
<bold>2</bold>
), 1,11-dimethoxycanthin-6-one (
<bold>5</bold>
), canthin-6-one (
<bold>6</bold>
), 1-methoxycanthin-6-one (
<bold>7</bold>
), 2-methoxycanthin-6-one (
<bold>8</bold>
), 2-hydroxy-1,11-dimethoxycanthin-6-one (
<bold>9</bold>
),
<italic>β</italic>
-carboline-1-propionic acid (
<bold>10</bold>
), cleomiscosin C (
<bold>11</bold>
), cleomiscosin A (
<bold>12</bold>
), and hydnocarpin (
<bold>13</bold>
). The structures of all the compounds were determined using spectrometric and spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR, and HRSEIMS. The identities of the known compounds were further confirmed by comparison of their data with those reported in the literature. The root and bark methanolic extracts, the dichloromethane and ethyl acetate soluble fractions, and the isolated compounds (
<bold>3</bold>
<bold>13</bold>
), were assessed for their cytotoxicity against the cancer cell lines A-549, MCF-7, and PC-3. The results suggested that compounds in the extracts might possess a synergic action in their cytotoxicity.</p>

<title>1. Introduction</title>
<p>Plants from the
<italic>Brucea</italic>
genus (Simaroubaceae) have been extensively investigated for their chemical constituents and pharmacological properties since 1900 [
<xref rid="B1-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. Among the numerous metabolites reported so far, quassinoids, also called nigakilactones and canthinone alkaloids, are the most important class of compounds [
<xref rid="B1-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
], with demonstrable biological activities, including anti-amoebic [
<xref rid="B2-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
], antitumour [
<xref rid="B3-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
,
<xref rid="B4-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,
<xref rid="B5-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
], antiplasmodial [
<xref rid="B6-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
,
<xref rid="B7-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
], and antituberculosis [
<xref rid="B8-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
] effects. As the name indicates,
<italic>Brucea antidysenterica</italic>
J. F. Mill. is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of dysentery and also against malaria, diarrhoea, and stomach aches [
<xref rid="B9-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
,
<xref rid="B10-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
]. In Ethiopia, the plant is also used for the treatment of tumors, and a follow-up investigation revealed that the compound has promising activity in vitro against several lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma cell lines [
<xref rid="B11-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
]. In addition, the 80% methanolic extract from the leaf was assayed for antioxidant activity, showing significant inhibition of 87.57% for the water soluble fraction as measured by DPPH assay, and 72.57 mg AAE/g as measured by FRAP assay [
<xref rid="B12-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. Moreover, 50 mg/mL of the aqueous leaf extract gave a better wound healing effect than the control group when applied topically on a mouse model [
<xref rid="B13-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
]. The aqueous, methanolic, and chloroform crude extracts of the seeds delivered significant
<italic>Plasmodium berghei</italic>
suppression in 6–8 week old Swiss albino mice of both sexes when given at 600 mg/kg body weight, while the acute toxicity test at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight led to the death of all mice within 24 h for each of above extracts [
<xref rid="B14-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. It should be noted that the first pure compound reported from the plant, the triterpene quassinoid bruceantin, was already isolated in 1973 from the alcoholic stem bark extract and shown in the follow-up to possess activities related to cell apoptosis and proliferation, angiogenesis, inflammation, and metabolic diseases [
<xref rid="B11-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
,
<xref rid="B15-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
,
<xref rid="B16-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
]. Recently, we identified bruceadysentoside A, a pregnane glycoside, from the leaves of
<italic>B. antidysenterica</italic>
, in addition to seventeen other compounds, including hydnocarpin, which exhibited the strongest antiproliferative activity with IC
<sub>50</sub>
values of ≈100 µM and ≈200 µM against PC-3 and HT-29, respectively [
<xref rid="B17-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. In continuation of our program to explore the phytochemicals of
<italic>B. antidysenterica</italic>
and their cytotoxicity, we investigated the bark and root of this plant. In this report, we describe the isolation and structural elucidation of one new stilbene (
<bold>1</bold>
) and two new canthinone alkaloids (
<bold>3</bold>
and
<bold>4</bold>
) and their cytotoxic activities.</p>

<sec sec-type="results" id="sec2-molecules-24-04412">
<title>2. Results</title>
<p>The bark and root of
<italic>B. antidysenterica</italic>
were separately extracted with MeOH. A small amount of each extract was stored for their in vitro-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) cytotoxicity/viability assay on A-549, MCF-7, and PC-3 cell lines. Based on their similar Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) profiles both bark and root extracts were combined and partitioned with dichloromethane and ethyl acetate to afford two major fractions. Subsequent purification of these fractions led to the isolation of three new compounds, including one new stilbene glycoside (
<bold>1</bold>
) and two new canthinone alkaloids (
<bold>3</bold>
and
<bold>4</bold>
). The comparison of our data with those reported in the literature allowed identification of the known compounds, such as rhaponticin (
<bold>2</bold>
) [

6.95 and 7.58, d,

1.11 (3H, d,

<sup>1</sup>
H signals coupled to the HSQC and DEPT experiments allowed us to assign their

C resonances at

101.0, 101.0, and 18.3, respectively (
<xref ref-type="app" rid="app1-molecules-24-04412">Figures S4–S6</xref>
). All these findings indicated that compound

was a stilbene glycoside with two sugar moieties; one of them might be rhamnose [
<xref rid="B27-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
]. Careful analysis of the HMBC spectrum (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="molecules-24-04412-f002">Figure 2</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="app" rid="app1-molecules-24-04412">Figure S7</xref>
) of compound
<bold>1</bold>
showed cross-peak correlations between the proton signal at
<italic>δ</italic>
6.99 (H-
<italic>α</italic>
) and the carbon signals of the ring A appearing at
<italic>δ</italic>
129.9 (C-1), 107.6 (C-6), and 105 (C-2), while the proton signal at
<italic>δ</italic>
7.20 (H-

) showed correlations with the carbon signals involved in the ring B and appearing at
<italic>δ</italic>
139.7 (C-1′) and 128.4 (C-2′/C-6′), confirming that rings A and B are linked through the
<italic>trans</italic>

</italic>
characteristic of stilbene. Furthermore, the two methoxy groups were connected at C-3 and C-5 in ring A according to the correlations observed between the proton signals at
<italic>δ</italic>
(3.80, s, 6H) and the carbon signals at
<italic>δ</italic>
159.3 (C-3) and 160.2 (C-5). Therefore, the aglycone was characterized to be pterostilbene, and the two remaining sugar moieties might be connected at the only position C-4′ (
<italic>δ</italic>

159.8) in cycle B suggesting that
<bold>1</bold>
is a pterostilbene glycoside [
<xref rid="B28-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
]. This partial conclusion was further supported by the mass spectra in positive and negative ionization mode (
<xref ref-type="app" rid="app1-molecules-24-04412">Figures S1 and S2</xref>
). Briefly, the (–)-HR-ESIMS showed a peak at 255.106 corresponding to the fragment [M − rha − glc]
<sup></sup>
; while the (+)-HR-ESIMS exhibited signal at 441.156 attributed to the fragment [M + Na − rha]
<sup>+</sup>
. Both observations indicated that the two sugar units are linked to each other and connected to the aglycone pterostilbene via the glucose subunit. Further proof was obtained from the long-range correlation between the anomeric proton of glc at
<italic>δ</italic>
4.89 (d,
<italic>J</italic>
= 7.6 Hz, glc H-1) and the carbon signal at
<italic>δ</italic>
159.8 (C-4′). The linkage of the two sugar moieties was established from the HMBC correlations between

4.56 (1H, d,

<italic>δ</italic>
66.8 (glc C-6) (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="molecules-24-04412-f002">Figure 2</xref>
). The anomeric proton of the glucose was assigned with

<sub>H-1,H-2</sub>
coupling constant of 7.6 Hz (
<xref rid="molecules-24-04412-t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
), while the anomeric proton of rhamnose was assigned with

]. Furthermore, there were signals corresponding to one methoxyl at

8.52 (1H, s), and signals of a four-spin ABMX-type system supported by the COSY correlations (

)) confirmed 16 carbon signals which were clearly sorted by and HSQC (
<xref ref-type="app" rid="app1-molecules-24-04412">Figure S13</xref>
) experiments into one methoxyl (
<italic>δ</italic>
57.2), one ketone carbonyl characteristic of conjugated lactam (

159.6), six methines, and seven quaternary carbons. All these data were similar to those of huberine, a canthin-6-one alkaloid recently reported from the stem bark of
<italic>Picrolemma huberi</italic>
[
<xref rid="B31-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
]. The comparison of their NMR data suggested that, besides some changes in chemical shifts, which could be explained by the solvent effect during the analysis, the main and more relevant change is the presence of
<sup>1</sup>
H and
<sup>13</sup>
C signals of two methoxyl groups in huberine rather than one in compound
<bold>3</bold>
. This partial conclusion could be further confirmed by the difference of 14 mass units between the two compounds. The HMBC spectrum of
<bold>3</bold>
(
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="molecules-24-04412-f003">Figure 3</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="app" rid="app1-molecules-24-04412">Figure S14</xref>
) showed the same cross-peaks observed in huberine, indicating that the two compounds share the same core structure [
<xref rid="B31-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
]. Furthermore, the HMBC experiment allowed the assignment of the methoxyl unit in C-2 and the hydroxyl group in C-1 according to the cross-peaks observed between
<italic>δ</italic>
4.29 (OCH

) and
<italic>δ</italic>

159.6 (C-2), 140.0 (C-1), and 119.2 (C-14). On the basis of all the evidence obtained, the structure of
<bold>3</bold>
was deduced as 1-hydroxy-2-methoxycanthin-6-one.</p>
<p>Compound
<bold>4</bold>
was isolated as an amorphous yellow solid and its molecular formula was deduced from its ESIMS (

are structurally related according to their close

C NMR data (

,
<xref ref-type="app" rid="app1-molecules-24-04412">Figures S17 and S18</xref>
). The two main differences were the presence of an additional methoxyl group in compound
<bold>3</bold>
(
<italic>δ</italic>
4.28, 57.8) and the occurrence of a three-spin ABC-system rather of the four-spin ABMX-system previously observed in
<bold>3</bold>
. All these findings suggested that compound
<bold>4</bold>
is a derivative of
<bold>3</bold>
in which a methoxyl group is attached as substituent on the ring A. Therefore, the placement of this additional methoxyl group was easily done with the HMBC experiment (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="molecules-24-04412-f003">Figure 3</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="app" rid="app1-molecules-24-04412">Figure S19</xref>
) which exhibited a cross-peak of correlation between

4.28 (3H, s) and

160.0 (C-11). The structure of bruceacanthinone B (

<p>The root and bark crude extracts, their dichloromethane and ethyl acetate soluble main fractions, and the compounds

<xref rid="molecules-24-04412-t003" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>
). The crude extracts and the fractions displayed cytotoxicity with IC

values ranging from 50.0 ± 5.2 to 80.5 ± 1.8 µg/mL. However, the potencies of isolated compounds

were indicated by IC

values more than the double of those of crude extracts (
<xref rid="molecules-24-04412-t003" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>
). This observation supported that the isolated compounds were less cytotoxic in single assay compared to the crude extracts and fractions. The results suggested that compounds from

A small amount (≈5 g) of each extract was kept for cytotoxicity assay against three human cancer cell lines A-549, MCF-7, and PC-3. The two crude extracts were combined according to their very similar compositions observed on a TLC plate. The mixed crude extract (114.3 g) was dissolved in water and partitioned with

<title>3.4. Cell Lines, Cell Cultures, and the MTT Assay</title>
<p>The potential cytotoxicity of
<italic>Brucea antidysenterica</italic>
bark and root extracts, their VLC fractions, and some isolated compounds (
<bold>3</bold>
<bold>10</bold>
) were studied against cancer cell lines A-549 (human lung adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma), and PC-3 (human prostate adenocarcinoma) using the MTT assay [
<xref rid="B32-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
,
<xref rid="B33-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
]. Methods used for toxicity assays have been reported by us previously in detail [
<xref rid="B34-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
] and are presented here again. All cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic solution (100×). The cells were cultured at 37 °C in 95% humidity and 5% CO
<sub>2</sub>
. For the MTT assays, the cells were washed using phosphate-buffered saline and harvested by trypsinization. Cells were then seeded into 24 well plates at a density of 1.2 × 10
<sup>4</sup>
cells/well in a working volume of 1 mL/well and allowed to grow for 24 h before the commencement of each experiment. The cells were then treated for 24 h with different concentrations of test samples (crude extracts and fractions at 0, 0.8, 4, 20, 100, and 500 μg/mL and the compounds at 0, 0.4, 2, 10, 50, 75, and 100 μg/mL). Dilutions of stock solutions were made in culture media, yielding final sample concentrations and a final dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) concentration of 0.1%, including the control. Each sample concentration was used to treat four wells of cells in each 24 well plate. After the 24 h treatment period, the toxicity of the samples on each cell line was quantified. To achieve this, the medium in each well was replaced by MTT solution (500 μg/mL in medium) and incubated for 2 h. Viability of cells was assessed by their ability to reduce the yellow dye MTT to a blue formazan product [
<xref rid="B35-molecules-24-04412" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
]. The MTT reagent was removed, the formazan crystals were dissolved in isopropanol, and the absorbance at 560 nm determined using a microplate reader (CLARIO Star Microplate Reader, BMG Labtech, UK). The average absorbance value obtained from zero treatment control (0.1% DMSO) wells was arbitrarily set at 100% for each plate, and the absorbance value for the average of wells of cells treated with each test sample concentration was expressed as a percentage of this control. Each assay was performed on a minimum of three separate occasions, and the IC
<sub>50</sub>
values for each sample on each cell line were calculated using Microsoft Excel version 2013. The anti-lung cancer semisynthetic glycoside drug etoposide was used as a positive control.</p>

<title>4. Conclusions</title>
<p>The chemical investigation of the root and bark of
<italic>Brucea antidysenterica</italic>
afforded three new compounds, including one stilbene glycoside bruceanoside A (
<bold>1</bold>
), and two canthinone alkaloids bruceacanthinones, A (
<bold>3</bold>
) and B (
<bold>4</bold>
), along with ten known secondary metabolites sorted into six canthinone alkaloid derivatives (
<bold>5</bold>
<bold>10</bold>
), two coumarin derivatives (
<bold>11</bold>
and
<bold>12</bold>
), one stilbene (
<bold>2</bold>
), and one flavonoid (
<bold>13</bold>
). As expected from the genus
<italic>Brucea</italic>
, canthinone alkaloids were the most abundant class of metabolites isolated during this study and might be classified as chemo markers of
<italic>Brucea</italic>
genus. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the root and bark methanolic extracts, the dichloromethane and ethyl acetate soluble fractions, and the isolated compounds (
<bold>3</bold>
<bold>13</bold>
), were assessed against the cancer cell lines A-549, MCF-7, and PC-3. The results displayed decreasing of IC
<sub>50</sub>
values from crude extracts to the isolated compounds, and might suggest a synergistic action of compounds in their cytotoxicity. Since the plant is used in traditional medicine, its extract might be considered an important reservoir of cytotoxic compounds for the treatment of tumors. However, additional in vivo toxicity evaluation of extracts, antiplasmodial or antibacterial activities of extracts and compounds, and chemical investigation of other parts of the plants—leaves and fruits for instance—in addition to supporting the use of this plant in folk medicine, will help to obtain further information to enrich the pharmacology and chemistry of the genus
