Alkaloids from Sri Lankan curry-leaf (Murraya koenigii) display melanogenesis inhibitory activity: structures of karapinchamines A and B.

Abstract:

:A methanolic extract and its ethyl acetate-soluble fraction from Sri Lankan curry-leaf, the leaves of Murraya koenigii, inhibited melanogenesis in theophylline-stimulated murine B16 melanoma 4A5 cells. Two new carbazole alkaloids, karapinchamines A and B, were isolated from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction together with 12 known carbazole alkaloids. The structures of karapinchamines A and B were determined by physicochemical analyses. The principal alkaloid constituents were found to display potent melanogenesis inhibitory activity. The structural requirements of the carbazole alkaloids for melanogenesis inhibitory activity were discussed.

  • Small-molecules that bind to the ubiquitin-binding motif of REV1 inhibit REV1 interaction with K164-monoubiquitinated PCNA and suppress DNA damage tolerance.

    abstract::REV1 protein is a mutagenic DNA damage tolerance (DDT) mediator and encodes two ubiquitin-binding motifs (i.e., UBM1 and UBM2) that are essential for the DDT function. REV1 interacts with K164-monoubiquitinated PCNA (UbPCNA) in cells upon DNA-damaging stress. By using AlphaScreen assays to detect inhibition of REV1 an...
