AB  - Bisbibenzyls are specialized metabolites found exclusively in liverworts, until recently; they represent chemical markers of liverworts. Their occurrence in vascular plants was noticed in 2007, when they were found in Primula veris subsp. macrocalyx from Russia. This report prompted us to chemically analyze the two most common Serbian Primula species, P. veris subsp. columnae and P. acaulis, in order to determine the presence of bisbibenzyls in them. Our study revealed nine structurally distinct bisbibenzyls (1–9), identified based on 1D and 2D NMR, IR, UV and HRESIMS data. Among them were five previously undescribed compounds (2–6). The remaining com­ pounds found and previously described in the literature were: the bisbibenzyls riccardin C (1), isoperrottetin A (7), isoplagiochin E (8) and 11-O-demethylmarchantin I (9), as well as 4-hydroxyphenylmethylketone (10) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylmethylketone (11). Riccardin C was the most dominant bisbibenzyl in both species studied. Previously, it was the first bisbibenzyl found in vascular plants (P. veris subsp. macrocalyx). An assessment of the cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds against A549 lung cancer and healthy MRC5 cell lines was also the subject of our study. Compounds 6 and 9 exhibited significant cytotoxic activity expressed by IC50 values of 12 μM, but the selectivity was not satisfactory.

AB  - The Marchantiophyta (liverworts) are rich sources of phenolic substances, especially cyclic and acyclic bis-bibenzyls, which are rare natural products in the plant kingdom, together with bibenzyls and characteristic terpenoids. At present, more than 125 bis-bibenzyls have been found in liverworts. They are biosynthesized from the dimerization of lunularic acid via dihydrocoumaric acid and prelunularin. The structurally unusual cyclic and acyclic bis-bibenzyls show various biological activities such as antimicrobial, antifungal, cytotoxic, muscle relaxation, antioxidant, tubulin polymerization inhibitory, and antitrypanosomal activities, among others. The present review article deals with the distribution and structure of bis-bibenzyls, bibenzyls, and several characteristic ent-sesqui- and diterpenoids in liverworts. Furthermore, the biosynthesis and total syntheses and biological activities of bis-bibenzyls are also surveyed.

AB  - Little attention has been paid to the bryophytes as sources for human diet despite the presence of 23,000 species in the world. Some mosses contain Vitamin B1, tocopherols, prostaglandin-like highly unsaturated fatty acids and phenolic compounds. On the other hand, liverworts contain enantiomeric mono-, sesqui- and diterpenoids similar to those found in vascular plants. Additionally, they possess bibenzyls, bis-bibenzyls and polyketides, many of them showing various bioactivity, such as antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inf­lam­matory, cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines, muscle relaxing, antioxidant and others. In this paper, the structures of phytochemicals from bryophytes and their biological activities are discussed.

AB  - Biotransformation of bis-bibenzyl perrottetin F (1), isolated from the liverwort Lunularia cruciata by Aspergillus niger, has been investigated. New metabolites (2-4) have been isolated using reversed phase semipreparative HPLC and their structures were established to be 8-hydroxyperrottetin F, C-7-C-8 cleaved product, and perrottetin F 6’-sulfate using 1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS, IR and UV spectroscopy. The antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties of these compounds were also evaluated. Given the suggested cytotoxic properties of the parent compound, antiproliferative activity against healthy human lung fibroblasts (MRC5) and human lung carcinoma (A549) of three metabolites were evaluated revealing their lower cytotoxic properties in comparison to the starting compound-perrottetin F. The antimicrobial properties of these compounds were also evaluated, with the inhibitory activity against the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and Staphylococcus aureus determined between 100 µM and 450 µM. The metabolites showed remarkable ability to inhibit synthesis of bacterial quorum-sensing signal molecules such as short chain acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). Therefore, biotransformation method represents fast and effective tool for obtaining new bioactive structures.

AB  - Chemical and biocatalytic synthesis of seven previously undescribed marchantin A ester derivatives has been presented. Chemical synthesis afforded three peresterified bisbibenzyl products (TE1-TE3), while enzymatic method, using lipase, produced regioselective monoester derivatives (ME1-ME4). The antiproliferative activities of all prepared derivatives of marchantin A were tested on MRC-5 healthy human lung fibroblast, A549 human lung cancer, and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines. All tested esters were less cytotoxic in comparison to marchantin A, but they also exhibited lower cytotoxicity against healthy cells. Monoesters displayed higher cytotoxic activities than the corresponding peresterified products, presumably due to the presence of free catechol group. Monohexanoyl ester ME3 displayed the same IC50 like marchantin A against MDA-MB-231 cells, but the selectivity was higher. In this way, regioselective enzymatic monoesterification enhanced selectivity of marchantin A. ME3 was also the most active among all derivatives against lung cancer cells A549 with the slightly lower activity and selectivity in comparison to marchantin A.

AB  - Chemical and biocatalytic synthesis of seven previously undescribed marchantin A ester derivatives has been presented. Chemical synthesis afforded three peresterified bisbibenzyl products (TE1-TE3), while enzymatic method, using lipase, produced regioselective monoester derivatives (ME1-ME4). The antiproliferative activities of all prepared derivatives of marchantin A were tested on MRC-5 healthy human lung fibroblast, A549 human lung cancer, and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines. All tested esters were less cytotoxic in comparison to marchantin A, but they also exhibited lower cytotoxicity against healthy cells. Monoesters displayed higher cytotoxic activities than the corresponding peresterified products, presumably due to the presence of free catechol group. Monohexanoyl ester ME3 displayed the same IC50 like marchantin A against MDA-MB-231 cells, but the selectivity was higher. In this way, regioselective enzymatic monoesterification enhanced selectivity of marchantin A. ME3 was also the most active among all derivatives against lung cancer cells A549 with the slightly lower activity and selectivity in comparison to marchantin A.

AB  - Seven new bisbibenzyls (1−7) were isolated from the methanol extract of the liverwort Lunularia cruciata along with one previously known bibenzyl and five known bisbibenzyls. The structures of compounds 1−7 were elucidated on the basis of the spectroscopic data. These newly isolated bisbibenzyls may be divided into two groups, the acyclic bisbibenzyls, perrottetins (1− 3), and the cyclic analogues, riccardins (4−7). Besides standard perrottetin and riccardin structures (1 and 4, respectively), they contain phenanthrene (3 and 5), dihydrophenanthrene (2), and quinone moieties (6 and 7), rarely found in natural products. The new compounds 3 and 5, as well as the known riccardin G, exhibited cytotoxic activity against the A549 lung cancer cell line with IC50 values of 5.0, 5.0, and 2.5 μM, respectively.

AB  - This manuscript describes the first detailed chemical investigation of endemic species Iris adriatica, including isolation and structure elucidation. Chemical analyses of the rhizome CH2Cl2/MeOH (2:1) extract revealed fourteen secondary metabolites, mainly isoflavonoids. Among isoflavonoids, two groups have been found: nigricin-type and tectorigenin-type. Dominant group of the isolated compounds has been nigricin-type isoflavones: nigricin, nigricin-4'-(1-O-beta-D- glucopyranoside) and nigricin-4'-(1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1-6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside) with 2.5, 10 and 1% of the total extract, respectively. Irisxanthone - xanthone C-glucoside, beta-sitosterol, benzophenone and one of its derivatives have also been found. Nigricin-type isoflavonoids and irisxanthone can be considered as possible chemotaxonomic markers for I. adriatica. 5,3',5'-Trimethoxy-6,7-methylenedioxyisoflavone-4'-(1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside) and benzophenone have been isolated from Iris species for the first time.

AB  - A number of potentially useful compounds with various biological activities can be obtained from plant metabolites by microorganisms. In present research, essential oil of Calamintha glandulosa was subjected to the biotransformation process by mycromicete Aspergillus niger. GC/MS analyses of the original and biotransformed essential oil have revealed six(1-6) biotransformed compounds from one of the main component-limonene and one biotransformed product (7) originating from the less abundant component-thymol. Piperitone epoxide and piperitenone epoxide, the most abundant components of the original oil, were not biotransformed but gave three artefacts (A1, A2, B1) due to the acidic conditions formed in A. niger medium. Compounds 5, 6 as well as 7 have not been previously found as a biotransformation products of limonene (5 and 6) and thymol (7), respectively. New products (5, 6, and 7) together with the artefacts, were isolated by silica gel column chromatography followed by preparative silica gel thin layer chromatography, and their structures were established by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR spectra and GC/MS data. Biotransformation has one more confirmed as useful method, complementary to synthesis, for obtaining different type of molecules.

AB  - The chemical composition, antimicrobial and antiquorum sensing activity of the essential oil of Micromeria thymifolia (Scop.) Fritsch were investigated. Limonene, piperitone epoxide and piperitenone epoxide were found as the main constituents using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique. In vitro antimicrobial activity of the oil was tested against six bacterial and seven fungal strains and high antimicrobial potential was noticed. Minimum inhibitory concentration varied from 0.031 mg/mL to 0.5 mg/mL for bacterial and 0.062 mg/mL to 0.5 mg/mL for fungal strains. The antiquorum properties of the essential oil were evaluated on Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. The oil was tested at subMiC concentrations for anti-quorum sensing activity. The analyses on quorum-sensing functions have been carried out by evaluating twitching and swarming of bacterial cultures and the total amount of pyocyanin production produced by P. aeruginosa. This study showed that M thymifolia essential oil exhibited antiquorum sensing activity and may be used as an antipathogenic drug.

AB  - Liverworts are rich sources of terpenoids and aromatic compounds among which bis-bibenzyls are well known for their wide spectrum of biological activities. This is the first report of chemical analysis of the African liverwort Marchantia debilis Goebel. From the methanol extract marchantinquinone-l'-methyl ether was newly isolated together with three known bis-bibenzyls, marchantin C, marchantinquinone and perrottetin E. The presence of bis-bibenzyls with a quinone moiety is noted for the first time in the Marchantia genus.

AB  - Diabetic bacterial foot infections (DBFIs) are limb-threatening complications in patients with diabetes mellitus, accounting for 50% of diabetes related lower limb amputations in developing countries, representing approximately 20 percent of all diabetes-related hospital admissions with significant healthcare-related costs involved. The widespread problem of bacterial resistance to most commonly used antibiotics places a huge economic burden on the healthcare system, with both increased morbidity and mortality among diabetic patients with foot infections. In this study, the antibacterial activity of organic extracts of the fresh liverwort Marchantia debilis from the North West Region of Cameroon is reported. An exit pool system, where patients presenting with DBFIs consented to be involved in the use of phytomedicines, after long term treatment of ulcers with antibiotics and not yielding significant long term benefit, presented themselves at the Phytobiotechnology Research clinic (PRF). Continuous culture of swabs from foot and toe wounds from 30 infected patients on nutrient agar and MacConkey agars in triplicate as well as Gram stain microscopy, revealed the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis and Bacillus species. Light petroleum and methanol extracts of the whole bryophyte plants at 100% concentration were tested. In vitro inhibition of the tested bacterial isolates from the diabetic foot ulcers by M debilis was observed only with the light petroleum extract. No inhibition by the extracts was observed for the Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate. The light petroleum extract of M debilis was formulated into a petroleum oil based cream named BryoCream (TM). This was administered to 20 of the patients with 90% cure rate in a three week time period. The main nonpolar components were determined by GCMS as lepidozene and beta-barbatene, and by NMR. as stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol. In conclusion, nonpolar extracts from bryophytes from Cameroon could, potentially, be used to treat diabetic bacterial foot infections.
