| Name | Vincosamide |
| Description | Vincosamide is an alkaloid from Psychotria leiocarpa extract, inhibits the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity with anti-inflammatory activity. Vincosamide can effect relaxation of the supercoiled pBR322 plasmid DNA in the presence of Cu2+. |
| In vitro | the compound vincosamide (PL-1) was identified for the first time in methanolic extract of the Psychotria leiocarpa (ME-PL) leaves, as well as the anti-inflammatory and anticholinesteric effects in rodents and molecular docking simulations.?The fractionation of the chloroform fraction (CF-PL) through chromatographic methods afforded the known compound PL-1.?The anti-inflammatory activity of the ME-PL (30, 100, and 300 mg/kg) and PL-1 (3, 30, and 100 mg/kg) was analyzed using experimental models: paw edema, pleurisy, and mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia induced by carrageenan.?The anticholinesterase activity of the ME-PL (30 and 100 mg/kg) and PL-1 (30 mg/kg) was showed by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory in brain structures.?The molecular docking simulations were performed using Molegro Virtual Docker v6.0.?Overall, the results indicated that ME-PL and PL-1 demonstrated an anti-edematogenic effect in Cg-induced paw edema, leukocyte migration in the pleurisy model, and significantly reduced mechanical hyperalgesia, cold response to acetone in mice.?The samples exhibited maximal inhibition of enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the frontal cortex.?The molecular coupling of PL-1 with the AChE showed significant interactions with the catalytic and peripheral site, corroborating the activity presented in the inhibition assay.?The acute administration of ME-PL did not cause signs of toxicity in the treated animals.?The results showed that P. leiocarpa inhibited AChE and anti-inflammatory activity, and alkaloid vincosamide could be responsible, at least in part, for the observed effects, supporting the popular use of this genus.
