Abstract

Natural products isolation studies of 16 native Australian fern species have been undertaken, facilitated by pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE). Fourteen of these fern species have not been the subject of natural products isolation research previously. In total, 14 different compounds were isolated from 12 of these 16 different fern species. This included γ- and δ-lactones; flavonoid glycosides, a dihydrobenzofuran neolignan, in addition to hydroxycinnamate/caffeic acid esters. More specifically, the lactones 5,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one, 5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2(5H)-furanone and osmundalin were obtained from Todea barbara, while a dihydrobenzofuran neolignan, (−)-trans-blechnic acid were found in Austroblechnum penna-marina subsp. alpina, and the shikimate ester 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid was isolated from Parablechnum wattsii. In addition, flavonoids and their glycoside derivatives, kaempferol 3-O-glucopyranoside, 4β-carboxymethyl-(−)-epicatechin, (2R)-eriodictyol-7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, naringin, quercitrin, quercetin 3-O-(6″-acetyl)-β-d-glucopyranoside, rutin, and tiliroside were isolated from seven other fern species.

Keywords: ferns, flavonoid, glycoside, natural products, natural products isolation, neolignan, Polystichum, Todea.

Introduction

Ferns are a group of vascular plants bearing complex leaves called megaphylls. These plants do not produce flowers or seeds and reproduce via spores. There are more than 12 000 species of ferns that are widely distributed across the globe, with the greatest diversity typically found in the tropics.[1] Ferns represent the phylogenetic bridge between the lower and higher plants in the plant kingdom. For centuries, ferns have been used in many different contexts: as food, medicines, and ornaments. The fiddleheads (or croziers) of many fern species often feature in Asian cuisine. Indeed, it is reported that 52 species feature in Chinese food and it is estimated that the actual number of edible ferns may extend to 144 species.[2] In Japan, ostrich (Matteuccia struthiopteris (L.) Tod.), bracken (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn), and royal ferns (Osmunda japonica Thunb.) are the most popular edible ferns that are harvested.[3] In Australia, the sporocarps of the small freshwater fern, nardoo (Marselia drummondii A. Braun) are consumed as baked cakes by first nations people following proper and extensive preparation.[4] In addition to their use in cuisine, many fern species feature in traditional pharmacopoeias and are used to treat an array of ailments.[58] In this context, relative to other species of vascular plants, ferns and lycophytes are poorly represented.[9]

Ferns and lycophytes, like angiosperms, are a rich source of phytochemicals with interesting biological properties. Natural products isolation studies reveal that they contain flavonoids, terpenoids (including steroids), and polyphenols (Fig. 1).[5,10] They also contain more distinctive alkaloid secondary metabolites. For example, lycopodium alkaloids such as lycopodine (1), lycodine (2), fawcettimine (3), and phlegmarine (4) skeletons have been isolated from Lycopodiaceae and Huperziaceae.[1012] Flavonoids are commonly isolated from numerous fern species. For example, species of the genus Pteris are rich in flavonoids with mainly α- and β-glucosides, galactosides, rhamnosides or arabinosides present.[13,14] Distinctive flavonoids that have been isolated include neoflavonoids, calomelanols A–J (514) from farinose of Pityrogramma calomelanos (L.) Link,[15,16] bioflavonoids such as hinokiflavone (15), 7″-O-methylhinokiflavone (16) amentoflavone (17) and 7,7″-di-O-methylamentoflavone (18) from Selaginella tamariscina (P.Beauv.) Spring,[17] involvenflavones A–F (1924) from S. involven (Sw.) Spring[18] and prenylated flavonoids (2528) from Helminthostachys zeylanica (L.) Hook.[19] Many sesquiterpenoid compounds with indane or cadinene skeletons are found in ferns.[10] Sesquiterpenyl indanones, known as pterosins, and their glycosides (pterosides) have been isolated from bracken fern species and polypodiaceous ferns.[20] For example, multifidosides A–C (2931) have been isolated from Pteris multifida Poir.[14] and the carcinogenic pteroside, ptaquiloside (32) has been isolated from Pteridium aquilinium (L.) Kuhn.[21] The terpenoids obtained from ferns are typically ent-kaurane-, ent-atisane- and ent-primarane-type diterpenoids, which are present in Pteris species.[22] Labdane- and clerodane-type diterpenoids, diterpenoid glycosides and triterpenoids are major constituents in the Gleicheniaceae family,[2326] and ecdysteroids have been isolated from species of genera Microsorum and Diplopterygium in the family Polypodiaceae.[2731] Phenolic compounds are another class of secondary metabolites widely distributed in ferns. Commonly isolated molecules of this type include caffeic (33), chlorogenic (34) and vanillic (35) acids.[10,32,33] The glycosylated phenolic acid, 7-O-caffeoylhydroxymaltol-3-β-d-glucopyranoside (36) was isolated from Pteris ensiformis Burm.,[3335] in addition to a chalcone derivative, licoagrochalcone D (37) from Pteris multifida Poir.[36]

Natural products research concerning ferns native to Australia are mainly restricted to toxicity studies. For example, the sporocarps of the freshwater fern nardoo, Marsilea drummondii A. Braun, which are used for food by Australian Aborigines,[4] are reportedly toxic to humans, cattle, and sheep.[37] Studies on this waterfern has revealed that its toxicity derives from high levels of the enzyme thiaminase which breaks down thiamine (vitamin B1).[38] Similarly, bracken ferns Pteridium aquillinum (L.) Kuhn and P. esculentum (G.Forst.) Nakai have been the subject of many phytochemical and pharmacological studies in order to elucidate the mechanism of toxicity involving the carcinogenic norsesquiterpene glucoside, ptaquiloside (32).[3942] Consequently, many sesquiterpenoid compounds have been isolated from P. aquillinum (L.) Kuhn.[20,4345] The presence of ptaquiloside has been reported in fern species from the genera Pteris, Microlepia, Hypolepis and Chelianthes.[43,44,46] Beyond their toxicity, very limited information regarding the phytochemistry of ferns found in Australia exists. Nevertheless, due to their wide geographic distribution, many native Australian ferns are also found in Asia and South America and natural products isolation studies of species found in these locations have been undertaken. For example, Helminthostachys zeylanica (L.) Hook which is found widely distributed in tropical parts of Asia, the Pacific region, and Australia,[1] contains prenylated flavonoids, ugonins,[47,48] cyclised geranyl stilbenes, and ugonstiblenes.[49] Similarly, Salvinia species have a global distribution and the species, S. auriculata Aubl. and a hybrid, S.xmolesta D.S.Mitch. are found in Australia.[1] Bioactivity-guided phytochemical investigation of these two Australian species allowed for the isolation of more than sixty different secondary metabolites that include diterpenes, polyphenols, fatty acids, triterpene, apocarotenoids, acyclic sesquiterpenoids, monoterpenes, jasmonates, steroids and coumarins.[5052] However, a large number of native Australian ferns, particularly endemic species, have not been the subject of natural products isolation studies.

In this report, a total of 16 Australian native fern species formed the basis of natural products isolation studies. Specifically, our research concerned Todea barbara (L.) T. Moore, Alsophila australis (R.Br.) Domin, Dicksonia antarctica Labill., Calochlaena dubia (R.Br.) M. D. Turner & R. A. White, Polystichum proliferum (R.Br.) C. Presl, P. vestitum (G. Forst.) C. Presl, Pellaea falcata (R.Br.) Fée, Lecanopteris pustulata subsp. pustulata (G. Forst.) Testo & A. R. Field, Oceaniopteris cartilaginea (Sw.) Gasper & Salino, Lomaria nuda (Labill.) Willd., Doodia australis (Parris) Parris, Austroblechnum penna-marina (Poir.) Gasper & V. A. O. Dittrich subsp. alpina (R.Br.) S. Jess. & L. Lehm., Parablechnum wattsii (Tindale) Gasper & Salino, Gleichenia alpina R.Br., Histiopteris incisa (Thunb.) J.Sm. and Pteridium esculentum (G. Forst.) Nakai subsp. esculentum. Two of these species, Polystichum vestitum (G. Forst.) C. Presl and Gleichenia alpina R.Br., were previously thought to be endemic to Tasmania,[53] however, these species were recently found in New Zealand.[1] We isolated a total of 14 different compounds (3851) from 12 native Australian fern species, including γ- and δ-lactones; flavonoid glycosides, a dihydrobenzofuran neolignan, in addition to hydroxycinnamate/caffeic acid esters (Fig. 2).

Results and discussion

For each of the 16 native Australian fern species that we investigated, PHWE of leaf material, followed by liquid–liquid extraction of the aqueous PHWE extract with ethyl acetate provided a crude organic extract after concentration under reduced pressure. In each case, the remaining aqueous phase was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a crude aqueous extract. The combined yield (% w/w) of the respective crude extracts thus obtained is shown in Table 1. With the exception of P. vestitum (0.38% w/w), yields of crude extracts were >0.5% w/w in all cases. The crude extracts were then subjected to various standard flash column chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography procedures.

Dicksonia antarctica and Pteridium esculentum are the only 2 of these 16 fern species that have been the subject of previous natural products isolation studies. Previously, the phenolic compounds (5S,6S,9S,10S)-15-hydroxycadina-3,11-dien-2-one and p-hydroxystyrene β-vicianoside, in addition to p-hydroxystyrene β-d-glucoside, kaempferol 3-O-β-d-glucoside, kaempferol 3-O-(2-O-β-d-xylosyl)-β-d-glucoside, kaempferol 3-O-(6-p-coumaroyl)-β-d-glucoside and chlorogenic acid have been isolated from P. esculentum fronds (1.2 kg of dry plant material).[54] 4-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid and 4-O-(p-coumaroyl) shikimic acid were isolated from croziers of D. antarctica (2.4 kg of fresh plant material) in 1997.[55,56] In this present study, secondary metabolites were not isolated from D. antarctica, Doodia australis, Oceaniopteris cartilaginea and Histiopteris species. However, 14 different compounds were isolated from the remaining 12 fern species we investigated. A combination of standard 1H, 13C and 2D (COSY, HMBC and HSQC) NMR spectroscopic techniques were employed to elucidate the structures of these compounds. In each case, these data were consistent with equivalent data reported in the literature. Specifically, we obtained 5,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (38), 5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2(5H)-furanone (39), osmundalin (40), astragalin (41), 4β-carboxymethyl-(−)-epicatechin (42), (2R)-eriodictyol-7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (43), naringin (44), (−)-trans-blechnic acid (45), (p-hydroxybenzyl)malonic acid (46), quercitrin (47), quercetin 3-O-(6″-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranoside) (48), 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid (49), rutin (50), and tiliroside (51) (Fig. 2).

5,6-Dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (38) and 5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2(5H)-furanone (39) were obtained as a mixture from Todea barbara in a ~2:1 ratio, as judged by NMR spectroscopic and GC-MS analysis (see Supplementary Material). Osmundalin (40) was also isolated from T. barbara. Lactones 3840 have been isolated from Osmunda japonica, a common Japanese fern species, and are reported to exhibit antifeedant properties against the larvae of yellow butterfly, Eurema hecabe mandarina.[57,58] In addition, all three natural products have also been isolated from Angiopteris caudatiformis, a fern species used in Chinese folk medicine for the treatment of a broad range of ailments.[59] Natural products 38 and 39 have been isolated from the fern species A. esculenta[60] and angiopteroside, an epimer of osmundalin (40), was isolated from Angiopteris evecta.[61]

4β-Carboxymethyl-(−)-epicatechin (42),[62] was isolated from Polystichum vestitum. This secondary metabolite has been isolated from Davallia divaricata,[62] D. solida[63] and Dryopteris crassirhizoma.[64] We also obtained molecule 42 from Polystichum proliferum and Lecanopteris pustulata subsp. pustulata. All of these fern species are members in the order Polypodiales. Dihydrobenzofuran neolignane, (−)-trans-blechnic acid (45) was isolated from Austroblechnum penna-marina subsp. alpina; a species formerly classified within the genus Blechnum. (−)-trans-Blechnic acid (45) and its epimer, epiblechnic acid, represent characteristic constituents of the family Blechnaceae.[65] Blechnic acid has been isolated from various fern species, including Blechnopsis orientalis, Spicantopsis amabilis, S. niponica, Woodwardia orientalis, W. prolifera, Brainea insignis[65] and Struthiopteris spicant.[66] We isolated 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid (49) (0.5% w/w yield) from Parablechnum wattsii (also formerly in the genus Blechnum). Compound 49 is a major secondary metabolite present in this fern and a known enzymatic browning agent present in dates, Phoenix dactylifera.[55,67] It is a major phytochemical and an anti-thiamine factor isolated from Pteridium aquillinum var. latiusculum and reportedly causes depression of leucocytes and thrombocytes in calves.[68] 5-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid is found widely distributed in Equisetaceae family and in ferns from the families Adiantaceae, Dryopteridaceae, Athyriaceae, Dennstaedtiaceae, Osmundaceae and Thelypteridaceae.[69] Interestingly, we isolated p-hydroxybenzylmalonic acid (46) and 4β-carboxymethyl-(–)-epicatechin (42) from Lecanopteris pustulata subsp. pustulata. Natural product 46 has been isolated from liquorice previously.[70] Liquorice primarily derives from three species, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Glycyrrhiza inflata and the presence of p-hydroxybenzylmalonic acid (46) has been reported from all three.[71]

Flavonoid glycosides 41, 43, 44, 47, 48, 50, and 51 were also isolated in our study. Specifically, we obtained the common flavonoid glucoside astragalin (41) from Alsophila australis, Calochalaena dubia and Pteridium esculentum. It has been isolated from many plant species including from the bracken fern P. aquilinum.[7276] We isolated (2R)-eriodictyol-7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (43) from P. vestitum. This natural product has been isolated from a wide range of flowering plants.[7785] In ferns, its presence has been identified in species of Pyrrosia.[86] Molecule 43 is a reported Nrf2 activator and confers protection against cisplatin-induced toxicity and cerebral ischemic injury.[84,87] Naringin (44) and rutin (50) were isolated from Pellaea falcata and Gleichenia alpina, respectively. Both are commonly reported flavonoid glycosides found in citrus, and exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activity.[8895] Compounds 44 and 50 have also been found in fern species.[9699] Trace amounts of quercitrin (47) and quercetin 3-O-(6″-acetyl)-glucoside (48) were isolated from Lomaria nuda. Both molecules are present in an array of plant species and possess wide ranging biological properties. Tiliroside (51), a kaempferol flavonoid glucoside with a coumaroyl moiety, was isolated from Pteridium esculentum. Its presence has been identified in various plant species, including P. aquilinum; and compound 51 is a reported carcinogen found in bracken fern.[100103] However, tiliroside also exhibits profound anti-hyperglycemic, anti-hyperlipidemic and antioxidant effects, and has potential therapeutic applications for the treatment of diabetes.[100,104106]

Among the 14 secondary metabolites isolated in this study, osmundalin (40), 4β-carboxymethyl-(−)-epicatechin (42) and trans-blechnic acid (45) have only been isolated from fern sources to date (Table 2). This reveals that various Australian fern species investigated in our study contain secondary metabolites that are consistent with other members in the genera, families or orders that are found distributed beyond Australia. For example, Todea barbara is exclusively a southern hemisphere species and both Osmunda japonica and Angiopteris caudatiformis are species found in eastern Asia regions. trans-Blechnic acid (45) has only been obtained from fern species of the family Blechnaceae. The remaining natural products are regularly isolated from angiosperms, including various fern species. 4β-Carboxymethyl-(−)-epicatechin (42) is a particularly rare natural product and its isolation solely from ferns suggests that its formation might derive from a biosynthetic pathway unique to certain fern species (Scheme 1).

Conclusions

Our natural products isolation studies provide further evidence that fern species represent a source of structurally diverse phytochemicals with interesting biological properties. Phytochemical screening of 16 native Australian ferns enabled the isolation of 14 previously reported compounds. The structures of these compounds were primarily elucidated via 1D (1H and 13C) and 2D (COSY, HSQC and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy. In each case, the characterisation data were consistent with equivalent data reported in the literature. These isolated compounds included flavonoid glycosides, caffeic acid esters, lactones, and a dihydrobenzofuran neolignan. Lactone molecules, 5,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one, 5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2(5H)-furanone and osmundalin were isolated from Todea barbara. 4β-Carboxymethyl-(−)-epicatechin was isolated from both species of Polystichum investigated in this study. Our isolation of (−)-trans-blechnic acid from Austroblechnum penna-marina subsp. alpina is consistent with this natural product representing a characteristic compound in the family Blechnaceae.


Experimental

Leaf material from 13 ferns Todea barbara, Alsophila australis, Dicksonia antarctica, Calochlaena dubia, Polystichum proliferum, P. vestitum, Pellaea falcata, Lecanopteris pustulata subsp. pustulata, Oceaniopteris cartilaginea, Lomaria nuda, Doodia australis, Austroblechnum penna-marina subp. alpina and Parablechnum wattsii were collected from the Royal Botanical Gardens of Tasmania in Hobart during February 2020. Aerial parts of Gleichenia alpina was collected from Wombat Moor at Mt Field National Park (42.6829°S, 146.6174°E; 1073 m above sea level) in February 2021. Histiopteris incisa was collected from Mt Field National Park (42.7806°S, 146.5844°E; 461 m above sea level) in February 2021. Aerial parts of Pteridium esculentum were collected from five healthy plants growing at Marion Bay (42.8218°S, 147.8671°E) in October 2021. Voucher specimens have been provided to the Tasmanian Herbarium, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (no. HO607603–HO607618). With the exception of Pteridium esculentum, all plant material was air-dried for 2 weeks and stored prior to extraction. P. esculentum plant material was dried in an oven at 45°C for 3 days prior to extraction.

General

Solvents used in all experiments were of analytical grade or purified by standard laboratory procedures. Plant material was ground using a Sunbeam spice grinder. Pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE) was performed using Breville Expresso Machine Model 800ES. This PHWE method is a well-established natural products extraction technique.[107109] The extracted organic solvents were dried using anhydrous MgSO4 and Na2SO4. Solvents were removed under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator. Flash column chromatography was performed using flash grade silica gel (Kieselgel 60). Automated flash chromatography was performed using a Grave Reveleris X2 flash column chromatography system or a Büchi Flash Pure system with 40 µm silica gel cartridges. TLC analysis was performed using Merck silica gel 60-F254 plates. NMR spectroscopy was performed on a Bruker Avance III NMR spectrometer operating at 400 MHz (1H) and 100 MHz (13C) or Bruker AscendTM 600 NMR spectrometer operating at 600 MHz for (1H) and 150 MHz (13C). The deuterated solvents used were D2O, CDCl3, acetone-d6, CD3OD and DMSO-d6. Spectra were calibrated by assignment of the residual solvent peak to δH 7.26 and δC 77.16 for CDCl3; δH 2.50 and δC 39.52 for DMSO-d6; δH 3.31 and δC 49.00 for CD3OD; δH 4.79 for D2O; and δH 2.05 and δC 29.84 for acetone-d6.[110] Infrared spectroscopy was performed using a Shimadzu FTIR 8400s spectrometer, with samples prepared as thin films on NaCl plates. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) experiments were performed on Agilent 6850 GC and Agilent 5975C mass spectrometers. HRESIMS analyses were conducted on a Thermo LTQ Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Extraction and isolation

PHWE of Todea barbara

T. barbara dried leaflets (29 g) were finely ground using a spice grinder, mixed with sand (~4 g), and extracted via PHWE (35% EtOH/H2O). This provided a hot extract (200 mL) that was cooled immediately in an ice bath. This process was repeated a further two times to provide a combined extract (600 mL). The extract was concentrated under reduced pressure (35°C) to remove EtOH and extracted with EtOAc (150 mL and 2 × 100 mL). The combined organic phase was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide extract A (646 mg). The remaining aqueous phase was concentrated under reduced pressure (50°C) to yield a dark brown extract B (10 g). Extract A: Extract A (646 mg) was redissolved in EtOAc, adsorbed onto silica/Celite® (1:1 mixture by mass), and subjected to flash column chromatography {silica; hexanes (50 mL), 10% acetone/hexanes (50 mL), 20% acetone/hexanes (100 mL), 30% acetone/hexanes (150 mL), 40% acetone/hexanes (100 mL), 50% acetone/hexanes (50 mL), 60% acetone/hexanes (50 mL) and acetone (150 mL)} to provide a mixture of compounds 38 and 39 (23 mg, 0.8% w/w yield in a ~2:1 ratio) as colourless crystalline solids. This mixture was analysed by GC-MS. Extract B: Extract B (10 g) was soaked in MeOH (~200 mL) for 1 h, repeated five times, combined, and concentrated to provide extract B.1 (4 g). Extract B.1 was then soaked in acetone (~200 mL) for 1 h, repeated 5 times, combined, and concentrated to provide extract B.2 (~2 g). Extract B.2 (~1 g) was redissolved in acetone, absorbed onto silica/Celite® (1:1 mixture by mass), and subjected to flash column chromatography {silica; hexanes (50 mL), 10% acetone/hexanes (100 mL), 50% acetone/hexanes (50 mL), acetone (50 mL) and 50% MeOH/acetone (50 mL)}. Following TLC and 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis, the resulting fractions were combined to afford six fractions, F.1–6. Fraction F.5 (709 mg) was again adsorbed onto silica/Celite® (1:1 mixture by mass) and subjected to flash column chromatography {silica; hexanes (50 mL), 10% acetone/hexanes (50 mL), 30% acetone/hexanes (200 mL), 50% acetone/hexanes (200 mL), and acetone (30 mL)}, which provided compound 40 (570 mg, 2.0% w/w yield) as an off-white solid. Extract B.1 (1.5 g) was absorbed onto silica/Celite® (1:1 mixture by mass) and subjected to flash column chromatography {silica; CH2Cl2 (75 mL), 13% MeOH/CH2Cl2 (150 mL), 27% MeOH/CH2Cl2 (75 mL), 53% MeOH/CH2Cl2 (150 mL) and MeOH (100 mL)}. Following TLC and 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis the resulting fractions were combined to afford four fractions, F.1–4. Fraction F.3 (641 mg) was redissolved in MeOH, absorbed onto silica/Celite® (1:1 mixture by mass) and subjected to flash column chromatography {silica; CH2Cl2 (50 mL), 25% MeOH/CH2Cl2 (100 mL), 66% MeOH/CH2Cl2 (75 mL) and MeOH (50 mL)}, which provided compound 40 (30 mg, 2.0% w/w yield) as an off-white solid.
