International audience. In an effort to find potent natural inhibitors of RhoA and p115 signaling G-proteins, a systematic in vitro evaluation using enzymatic and plasmonic resonance assays was undertaken on 11 317 plant extracts. The screening procedure led to the selection of the New Caledonian endemic species Meiogyne baillonii for a chemical investigation. Using a bioguided isolation procedure, three enediyne-γ-butyrolactones (1–3) and two enediyne-γ-butenolides (4 and 5), named sapranthins H–L, respectively, two enediyne carboxylic acid (6 and 7), two depsidones, stictic acid (8) and baillonic acid (9), aristolactams AIa and AIIa (10 and 11), and two aporphines, dehydroroemerine (12) and noraristolodione (13), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the bark. The structures of the new compounds (1–6, 9, and 11) and their relative configurations were established by NMR spectroscopic analysis and by X-ray diffraction analysis for compound 9. Only stictic acid (8) exhibited a significant inhibiting activity of the RhoA–p115 complex, with an EC50 value of 0.19 ± 0.05 mM. This is the first time that a natural inhibitor of the complex RhoA–p115’s activity was discovered from an HTS performed over a collection of higher plant extracts. Thus, stictic acid (8) could be used as the first reference compound inhibiting the interaction between RhoA and p115.
