Based on the screening of some of these plants, the fruits of Beilschmiedia mannii, whose dichloromethane extract showed cancer chemopreventive properties, were selected. Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the extract resulted in the isolation and identification of two \u03b3-pyrones, including desmethoxydihydromethysticin (1), found in a natural source for the first time, and a new congener, beilschmiediapyrone (2), as well as five known alkamides (3\u200a\u2013\u200a7). Their structures were established by using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry methods. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cancer chemopreventive potential by using quinone reductase induction and nuclear factor-kappa B inhibition tests in Hepa 1c1c7 and HEK-293\/NF-\u03baB-Luc cells, respectively. Among them, compounds 1 and 2 were the most active. The concentrations to double the quinone reductase activity were 7.5\u2009\u00b5M for compound 1 and 6.1\u2009\u00b5M for compound 2. Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited nuclear factor-kappa B with IC50 values of 2.1 and 3.4\u2009\u00b5M, respectively. These results are promising with regard to cancer chemoprevention, especially because this plant is also used for cooking by the local population around the Ta\u00ef forest.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-0798-3155","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,22]],"date-time":"2018-11-22T23:41:20Z","timestamp":1542930080000},"page":"379-384","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Anti-inflammatory and Quinone Reductase-Inducing Compounds from Beilschmiedia mannii"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Angora","family":"Ahoua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques en C\u00f4te d\u02bcIvoire, Abidjan, C\u00f4te d\u02bcIvoire"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aymeric","family":"Monteillier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of pharmaceutical sciences, University of Geneva, University of Lausanne, Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Borlat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of pharmaceutical sciences, University of Geneva, University of Lausanne, Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Ciclet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of pharmaceutical sciences, University of Geneva, University of Lausanne, Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laurence","family":"Marcourt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of pharmaceutical sciences, University of Geneva, University of Lausanne, Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samad","family":"Nejad Ebrahimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Phytochemistry, Medicinal Plants and Drugs Research Institute, Shahid Beheshti University, Evin, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mamidou","family":"Kon\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques en C\u00f4te d\u02bcIvoire, Abidjan, C\u00f4te d\u02bcIvoire"},{"name":"Unit\u00e9 de Formation et de Recherche des Sciences de la Nature, Universit\u00e9 Nangui Abrogoua, Abidjan, C\u00f4te d\u02bcIvoire"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bassirou","family":"Bonfoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques en C\u00f4te d\u02bcIvoire, Abidjan, C\u00f4te d\u02bcIvoire"},{"name":"Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, Basel, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philippe","family":"Christen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of pharmaceutical sciences, University of Geneva, University of Lausanne, Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muriel","family":"Cuendet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of pharmaceutical sciences, University of Geneva, University of Lausanne, Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,22]]},"container-title":["Planta Medica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/a-0798-3155.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,16]],"date-time":"2019-03-16T01:09:50Z","timestamp":1552698590000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/a-0798-3155"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,22]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"05","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,15]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/a-0798-3155","relation":{},"ISSN":["0032-0943","1439-0221"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0032-0943","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-0221","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,22]]}}}
