Maxim. roots for the development of potent soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors. PG - 526-534 LID - S0141-8130(16)32797-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2017.02.023 [doi] AB - In our search for natural soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors from plants, we found that an ethanolic extract of the roots of Cimicifuga dahurica (Turcz.) Maxim. significantly inhibits sEH in vitro. A phytochemical study on the dichloromethane fraction of C. dahurica resulted in the isolation of two new cycloartane triterpenoids (1 and 6), together with 13 known cycloartane analogues (2-5 and 7-15). The structures of compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods. All of the triterpenoid derivatives inhibited sEH enzymatic activity in a concentration-dependent manner, and 13 of the tested compounds showed significant activity. Among them, compounds 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 showed the highest levels of inhibitory activity, with IC(50) values of about 5muM or less. Kinetic analysis of compounds 1, 3, 5-9, 11, 12, and 14 revealed that compounds 3, 6, 7, 11, and 14 were non-competitive; 1, 5, 9, and 12 were mixed-type; and 8 was a competitive inhibitor. Furthermore, in silico molecular docking indicated that compounds 3, 6-9, 11, 12, and 14 bound to sEH in a similar manner and had stable binding energies, as calculated by AutoDock 4.2 and processed in a 10,000-ps molecular dynamics simulation to assess the binding stability of compounds 5, 7, and 9.
