    Oleanolic acid analogs as NO, TNF-α and IL-1β inhibitors: synthesis, biological evaluation and docking studies.[Pubmed: 25113933]
    A series of Oleanolic acid analogs, characterized by structural modifications at position C-3 and C-28 of oleanane skeleton were synthesized and assessed for antiinflammatory potential towards lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced nitric oxide (NO) production in macrophages.
    METHODS AND RESULTS:
    Results revealed that all the synthesized analogs of Oleanolic acid inhibit NO production with an IC50 of 2.66-41.7 μM as compared to the specific nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, L-NAME (IC50=69.21 and 73.18 μM on RAW 264.7 and J774A.1 cells, respectively) without affecting the cell viability when tested at their half maximal concentration. The most potent NO inhibitors (2, 8, 9 and 10) at a concentration of 20 μg/mL also demonstrated mild inhibition (27.9-51.9%) of LPS-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and weak inhibition (11.1-37.5%) towards interleukin 1-beta (IL-1β) production in both the cells.
    CONCLUSIONS:
    The present study paves a direction that analogs of Oleanolic acid can be employed as a lead in the development of potent NO inhibitors. Molecular docking studies also showed that 10 (with top Goldscore docking pose 19.05) showed similar interaction as that of co-crystallized inhibitor and, thereby, helps to design the potent inhibitors of TNF-α.

    Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid: novel hepatitis C virus antivirals that inhibit NS5B activity.[Pubmed: 23422646 ]
    Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects up to 170 million people worldwide and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, current therapy is only curative in approximately 50% of HCV patients and has adverse side effects, which warrants the need to develop novel and effective antivirals against HCV. We have previously reported that the Chinese herb Fructus Ligustri Lucidi (FLL) directly inhibited HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) activity (Kong et al., 2007).
    METHODS AND RESULTS:
    In this study, we found that the FLL aqueous extract strongly suppressed HCV replication. Further high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis combined with inhibitory assays indicates that Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid are two antiviral components within FLL aqueous extract that significantly suppressed the replication of HCV genotype 1b replicon and HCV genotype 2a JFH1 virus. Moreover, Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid exhibited anti-HCV activity at least partly through suppressing HCV NS5B RdRp activity as noncompetitive inhibitors.
    CONCLUSIONS:
    Therefore, our results for the first time demonstrated that natural products Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid could be used as potential HCV antivirals that can be applied to clinic trials either as monotherapy or in combination with other HCV antivirals.

    Oleanolic acid suppresses the proliferation of lung carcinoma cells by miR-122/Cyclin G1/MEF2D axis[Pubmed: 25472877]
    Oleanolic acid (OA) is a natural compound from plants with anti-tumor activities. However, the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of OA on cell cycle progression has not been completely explored. We employed several lung carcinoma cell lines to investigate the cell cycle-related molecular pathway affected by OA. The data revealed that OA suppressed the proliferation of lung cancer cells in both dose- and time-dependent manners, along with an increase in miR-122 abundance. The suppression of miR-122 abolished the effect of OA on lung cancer cells. CCNG1 and MEF2D, two putative miR-122 targets, were found to be downregulated by OA treatment. Restoring their expression counteracted the effect of OA on lung carcinoma cells. OA was further shown to induce the expression of miR-122-regulating transcriptional factors in lung cancer cells. Collectively, OA induced cell cycle arrest in lung cancer cells through miR-122/Cyclin G1/MEF2D pathway. This finding may contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanism of OA's anti-tumor activity.

    Oleanolic acid inhibits proliferation and invasiveness of Kras-transformed cells via autophagy[Pubmed: 25172632]
    Oleanolic acid (OA) has been widely studied because of its pleiotropic therapeutic and preventive effect on various diseases. However, the mechanisms of OA's action are still not clear yet, especially its suppressing effect on transformed cells. In this work, we found that OA induced autophagy in normal tissue-derived cells without cytotoxicity. OA-induced autophagy was shown to decrease the proliferation of KRAS-transformed normal cells and to impair their invasion and anchorage-independent growth. Interrupting autophagy rescued OA's effect on the transformed cells. Mouse model experiments also demonstrated that OA suppressed the growth of KRAS-transformed breast epithelial cell MCF10A-derived tumor xenograft by inducing autophagy. Finally, we identified that OA induced autophagy in normal cells by inhibiting the activation of Akt/mTOR/S6K signaling. In conclusions, we found that OA treatment permitted normal cells to undergo autophagy. The induced autophagy was required for OA to prevent or delay the growth of transformed normal cells.

    Oleanolic acid modulates the immune-inflammatory response in mice with experimental autoimmune myocarditis and protects from cardiac injury. Therapeutic implications for the human disease[Pubmed: 24732212]
    Myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are inflammatory diseases of the myocardium, for which appropriate treatment remains a major clinical challenge. Oleanolic acid (OA), a natural triterpene widely distributed in food and medicinal plants, possesses a large range of biological effects with beneficial properties for health and disease prevention. Several experimental approaches have shown its cardioprotective actions, and OA has recently been proven effective for treating Th1 cell-mediated inflammatory diseases; however, its effect on inflammatory heart disorders, including myocarditis, has not yet been addressed. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of OA in prevention and treatment of experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM). The utility of OA was evaluated in vivo through their administration to cardiac α-myosin (MyHc-α614-629)-immunized BALB/c mice from day 0 or day 21 post-immunization to the end of the experiment, and in vitro through their addition to stimulated-cardiac cells. Prophylactic and therapeutic administration of OA dramatically decreased disease severity: the heart weight/body weight ratio as well as plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide and myosin-specific autoantibodies production were significantly reduced in OA-treated EAM animals, compared with untreated ones. Histological heart analysis showed that OA-treatment diminished cell infiltration, fibrosis and dystrophic calcifications. OA also decreased proliferation of cardiac fibroblast in vitro and attenuated calcium and collagen deposition induced by relevant cytokines of active myocarditis. Furthermore, in OA-treated EAM mice the number of Treg cells and the production of IL-10 and IL-35 were markedly increased, while proinflammatory and profibrotic cytokines were significantly reduced. We demonstrate that OA ameliorates both developing and established EAM by promoting an antiinflammatory cytokine profile and by interfering with the generation of cardiac-specific autoantibodies, as well as through direct protective effects on cardiac cells. Therefore, we envision this natural product as novel helpful tool for intervention in inflammatory cardiomyopathies including myocarditis.

    Oleanolic acid supplement attenuates liquid fructose-induced adipose tissue insulin resistance through the insulin receptor substrate-1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway in rats.[Pubmed: 24704288]
    Oleanolic acid, a triterpenoid contained in more than 1620 plants including various fruits and foodstuffs, has numerous metabolic effects, such as hepatoprotection. However, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Adipose tissue insulin resistance (Adipo-IR) may contribute to the development and progress of metabolic abnormalities through release of excessive free fatty acids from adipose tissue.
    METHODS AND RESULTS:
    This study investigated the effect of Oleanolic acid on Adipo-IR. The results showed that supplement with Oleanolic acid (25 mg/kg, once daily, by oral gavage) over 10 weeks attenuated liquid fructose-induced increase in plasma insulin concentration and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index in rats. Simultaneously, Oleanolic acid reversed the increase in the Adipo-IR index and plasma non-esterified fatty acid concentrations during the oral glucose tolerance test assessment. In white adipose tissue, Oleanolic acid enhanced mRNA expression of the genes encoding insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. At the protein level, Oleanolic acid upregulated total IRS-1 expression, suppressed the increased phosphorylated IRS-1 at serine-307, and restored the increased phosphorylated IRS-1 to total IRS-1 ratio. In contrast, phosphorylated Akt to total Akt ratio was increased. Furthermore, Oleanolic acid reversed fructose-induced decrease in phosphorylated-Akt/Akt protein to plasma insulin concentration ratio. However, Oleanolic acid did not affect IRS-2 mRNA expression.
    CONCLUSIONS:
    Therefore, these results suggest that Oleanolic acid supplement ameliorates fructose-induced Adipo-IR in rats via the IRS-1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway. Our findings may provide new insights into the mechanisms of metabolic actions of Oleanolic acid.

    Semi-synthesis of nitrogen derivatives of oleanolic acid and effect on breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells.[Pubmed: 25075040 ]
    Oleanolic acid is a triterpenoid that has shown in vitro cytotoxic activity against human tumour cells and is known to be present in many higher plants.
    METHODS AND RESULTS:
    Oleanolic acid is known to have some biological potential including anticancer property. Oleanolic acid was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of Syzygium aromaticum seed with an aim of dervitatising the functional group and evaluating the biological activities of the semi-synthesised compounds. Acylation of the alcohol functional group of the Oleanolic acid afforded the opportunity of hydrazine reaction to give 3-acetoleanolic hydrazide. Further reaction of 3-acetoleanolic hydrazide with benzyladehyde, glacial acetic acid and methanol resulted in the synthesis of the corresponding 3-acetoxyoleanolic hydrazone. The semi-synthetic Oleanolic acid derivatives did not exhibit enhanced cytotoxic activity over Oleanolic acid itself.
    CONCLUSIONS:
    3-acetoxyoleanolic hydrazide has a potent anticancer activity.

    BDNF-ERK-CREB signalling mediates the role of miR-132 in the regulation of the effects of oleanolic acid in male mice.[Pubmed: 25079084]
    Although previous study has demonstrated that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in the antidepressant-like effect of Oleanolic acid, there is little information regarding the details of the molecular mechanism involved in this effect.
    METHODS AND RESULTS:
    We used a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model to test the antidepressant-like effect of Oleanolic acid on depressant-like behaviour, miR-132 expression and synaptic protein expression in the male mouse hippocampus. Furthermore, we explored the possible signalling pathways associated with miR-132 expression that mediate the effect of Oleanolic acid on neuronal proliferation. The results demonstrated that a 3-week treatment with Oleanolic acid ameliorated CUMS-induced anhedonic and anxiogenic behaviours. Furthermore, we found that Oleanolic acid led to the BDNF-related phosphorylation and activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB), which was associated with the upregulation of miR-132 and hippocampal neuronal proliferation. Moreover, experiments with an miR-132 antagomir revealed that targeting miR-132 led to inhibition of neuronal proliferation and the postsynaptic density protein 95, but did not affect presynaptic protein synapsin I. Several other stimuli can also induce CREB phosphorylation in the hippocampus. Thus, regulation of miR-132 may not be restricted to neurotrophic signalling.
    CONCLUSIONS:
    Our results show that Oleanolic acid induces the upregulation of miR-132, which serves as an important regulator of neurotrophic actions, mainly through the activation of the hippocampal BDNF-ERK-CREB signalling pathways.
