Osthenol is a furanocoumarin with anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral activity. It is present in various citrus juices and fruits; however, its inhibitory effects on cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity, in the context of herb–drug interaction (HDI) prediction, have not been previously studied. In this study, osthenol was chemically synthesized in order to identify potential HDIs. Its inhibitory effect on eight CYP isoforms and the underlying mechanism of inhibition were investigated by using cocktail assays and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in pooled human liver microsomes. The inhibitory effect of osthenol on CYP2C8-catalyzed paclitaxel hydroxylation was selective and dose-dependent, but not time-dependent. The IC50 value was 2.8 μM. Additionally, osthenol displayed mixed mode inhibition with a relatively low Ki value of 0.96 μM, which is indicative of the potential for HDIs with co-administered CYP2C8 substrates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of selective inhibition of CYP2C8 by osthenol.

A total of 23 compounds based on Osthole skeleton were designed and synthesized. Their agonistic activity for Nrf2 were evaluated by Dual-luciferase Reporter Gene Assay. Most of the compounds showed better activities compared with Osthole, especially O15 and O21. And the median effective concerntration (EC50) values was calculated accordingly, both of which showed remarkable activity for Nrf2. The structure activity relationship study indicated that introduction of the structure of stilbene might be beneficial for enhancement of agonistic properties of Osthole, and the position of the substituent may have a greater effect on the activity than the electron-donating/withdrawing ability of the substituent. Mechanism of the action of selected compound O15 was investigated by molecular docking, cellular thermal shift assay and ubiquitination assay, which suggested the reason why O15 exhibited relatively stronger agonistic activity for Nrf2. Compound O15 and O21 both provided novel methods to investigate Osthole-based compounds as Nrf2 agonists.

Plant pathogenic fungi decrease the quality and productivity of plant production. The botanical fungicides have better biocompatibility and rapid biodegradation, little or no cross resistance, and the structural diversity, and thus are beneficial to deal with plant fungal diseases. Osthole has been widely used as the commercial botanical fungicide against powdery mildew in China. In this article, a series of osthole derivatives were synthesized, which respectively contain different substituents on the benzene ring, at the C8-position and pyrone ring. All the target compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antifungal activity against resistant phytopathogenic fungi. Colletotrichum fragariae, Strawberry Botrytis Cinerea, Kiwifruit Botrytis Cinerea, Kiwifruit brown Rots, which are common in fruit fungal diseases. The compound C4 was identified as the most promising candidate with the EC50 values at 38.7 μg/mL against Colletotrichum Fragariae, 14.5 μg/mL against Strawberry Botrytis Cinerea and 24.3 μg/mL against Kiwifruit Botrytis Cinerea, respectively, whereas the antifungal activity against resistant phytopathogenic fungi. of osthole is too low to be used (EC50 > 400 ppm). The results of mycelial relative conductivity determination, PI uptake and fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that the cell membrane of fungi is the key action site of C4. Besides, C4 has the potent inhibitory activity against both of plant and human pathogenic bacteria. Our studies showed that C4 was worthy for further attention as a promising botanical fungicide candidate in crop protection.

Coumarins are ubiquitous in higher plants and exhibit various biological actions. The aim of this study was to investigate the structure-activity relationships of coumarin derivatives on tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced oxidative damage in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. A series of coumarin derivatives were prepared and assessed for their cytoprotective effects. Among these, a caffeoyl acid-conjugated dihydropyranocoumarin derivative, caffeoyllomatin, efficiently protected against cell damage elicited by t-BHP. Our findings suggest that caffeoyllomatin appears to be a potent cytoprotective agent.
