[PMID: 38154270 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The plant Justicia procumbens is traditionally used in Asia to treat fever, cough, and pain. Previous studies have reported its anticancer and anti-asthmatic properties. However, its potential for preventing androgenic alopecia (AGA) has not yet been reported. AGA is a widespread hair loss condition primarily caused by male hormones. In this study, we examined the hair loss-preventing effects of an aqueous extract of J. procumbens (JPAE) using human hair follicle dermal papilla cell (HFDPC) and a mouse model of testosterone-induced AGA. JPAE treatment increased HFDPC proliferation by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Additionally, JPAE increased the expression of Wnt targets, such as cyclin D1 and VEGF, by promoting the translocation of β-catenin to the nucleus. Administration of JPAE reduced hair loss, increased hair thickness, and enhanced hair shine in an AGA mouse model. Furthermore, it increased the expression of p-GSK-3β and β-catenin in the dorsal skin of the mice. These findings imply that JPAE promotes the proliferation of HFDPC and prevents hair loss in an AGA mouse model. JPAE can therefore be used as a functional food and natural treatment option for AGA to prevent hair loss.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Justicia procumbens L. (JP) (Oriental Water Willow, Shrimp plant, Acanthaceae) is a herbaceous plant that is commonly found in India, Taiwan, Australia, Southern China, Vietnam, and Korea. The plant has been primarily used to treat fever, asthma, edema, cough, jaundice, urinary tract infection, and sore throat, as well as for snake bites and as a fish-killer. In the present review, the reported phyto-chemical, ethno-pharmacological, biological, and toxicological studies on J. procumbens were summarized. Special focus had been given to its reported lignans, regarding their isolation, characterization, quantitative estimation, and biosynthesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A survey of the literature was done using assorted databases and publishers; Scopus, Sci-Finder, Web of Science, PubMed, GoogleScholar, ScienceDirect, Wiley, Taylors&Francis, Bentham, Thieme, and Springer. RESULTS Currently, 95 metabolites have been separated fromJ. procumbens. Lignans and their glycosides were reported as main phyto-constituents of J. procumbens. Various methods are mentioned for quantitative estimation of these lignans. These phyto-constituents possessed wide pharmacological effectiveness, such as antiplatelet aggregation, antimicrobial, antitumor, and antiviral. CONCLUSIONS Many of the stated effects are harmonious with the reported traditional uses of this plant. This data could further support J. procumbens's utilization as a herbal remedy and drug lead. However, further study of J. procumbens toxicity, as well as preclinical and clinical investigation is required to ensure the safe usage of J. procumbens.

Determination of the geographical origin of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels & Gilg using an electronic nose technique with multiple algorithms. Heliyon 2022; 8:e10801. [PMID: 36203902 PMCID: PMC9529587 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e10801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels & Gilg, an herbal medicinal plant, is planted widely in bamboo forests in southern China to promote economic benefits. Volatile compounds (VOCs) of T. hemsleyanum from different geographical regions are difficult to identify in field forests. In this study, VOCs from leaf samples of different geographical origins were analyzed using an electronic nose with 10 different sensors. Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least-squares regression (PLS), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks were used to determine differences among different local samples. The results demonstrated that PCA achieved an accurate discrimination percentage of 91.31% for different samples and HCA separated the samples into different groups. The RBF neural network was successfully applied to predict samples with no specified localities. T. hemsleyanum samples from geographically close regions tended to group together, whereas those from distant geographical regions showed obvious differences. These results indicate that an electronic nose is an effective tool for detecting VOCs and discriminating the geographical origins of T. hemsleyanum. This study provides insights for further studies on the fast detection of VOCs from plants and effect of forests and plant herbal medicines on improving air quality.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 294:115392. [PMID: 35589019 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Justicia procumbens L. is a traditional Chinese medicine, first recorded in "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic", for the treatment of lumbar pain and fever. As a widely distributed herb, it has also been documented in India, Nepal, and Malaysia. In "Tang Materia Medica", a famous medicinal book of Tang Dynasty in ancient China, it was first used to treat diseases associated with blood stasis. Blood stasis syndrome is closely related to thrombus formation and platelet aggregation. Although some compounds isolated from this plant have anti-platelet aggregation effects, the main chemical components and mechanism of J. procumbens in terms of these effects are little known. AIMS OF THE STUDY Through in vivo and in vitro experiments, this studsy revealed the characteristic components and action mechanism of anti-platelet aggregation by J. procumbens from an overall perspective. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effective crude extracts of the whole plant were screened via an in vitro anti-platelet aggregation test. After incubating these extracts with apheresis platelets, high affinity compounds were detected by HPLC-MS and regulatory genes were detected using gene chips. The effective components and potential target proteins were analyzed using computational docking technology. Furthermore, the compound with the strongest predicted activity was evaluated in vivo via an anti-thrombotic test. RESULTS Integrin aⅡbβ3, PKCα, PI3Kγ, and mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 were found to be potential targets. Justicidin B, tuberculatin, chinensinaphthol methyl ether, and neojusticin B were effective compounds that inhibited human platelet aggregation by suppressing Gq-PLC-PKC and Gi-PI3K-MAPK signaling pathways. Among the compounds that bind to platelets, justicidin B showed the strongest virtual binding force. The test of carotid artery thrombosis induced by ferric chloride in SD rats confirmed that justicidin B inhibited thrombus formation. CONCLUSION Experimental investigation showed that arylnaphthalene lignan aglycones with one methylenedioxy group and two methoxy groups are effective components for anti-platelet aggregation by J. procumbens. These compounds inhibit Gq-PLC-PKC and Gi-PI3K-MAPK signaling pathways by suppressing the expression of genes such as ITGB3, PRKCA, PIK3CG, and MAPK14. These results reflected the characteristics of multi-component and multi-target synergistic treatment of Chinese medicine.

Abstract
Justicia procumbens L. is known across Korea, India, China, and Taiwan as a remedy against fever, cough, sore throat, and cirrhosis of ascites. J. procumbens provides the raw material for a candidate anti-asthma drug (DW2008S) currently completing phase I clinical trials sponsored by Dong Wha Pharmaceutical Company. HPLC-DAD was used to quantify phytochemical constituents of J. procumbens, and HPLC and 1H-NMR results were assessed by multivariate analysis. This is the first time a comparative study using HPLC-DAD and NMR fingerprints has been applied to identify chemical differences between wild and cultivated J. procumbens. The amount of justicidin B as the marker compound was higher in cultivated samples (0.80 ± 0.25 mg/g) than in wild ones (0.63 ± 0.30 mg/g). Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) from HPLC and NMR data revealed that there were clear differences between wild and cultivated types and identified five secondary metabolites, which could help distinguish between wild and cultivated plants. Among these five lignans, diphyllin showed the most potent discrimination between two types and was significantly detected higher in cultivated ones than in wild ones. A combination of 1H-NMR and HPLC-DAD analysis is effective for J. procumbens standardization and metabolomics studies.

Abstract
Ten compounds, including three lignan glycosides and seven lignans, were purified from Justicia procumbens L. in 8 h using an efficient strategy based on high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The two-phase solvent system composed of petroleum–ethyl acetate–methanol–H2O (1:0.7:1:0.7, v/v) was firstly employed to separate the crude extract (320 mg), from which 19.3 mg of justicidin B (f), 10.8 mg of justicidin A (g), 13.9 mg of 6′-hydroxyjusticidin C (h), 7.7 mg of justicidin E (i), 6.3 mg of lignan J1 (j) were obtained with 91.3 mg of enriched mixture of compounds a–e. The enriched mixture (91.3 mg) was further separated using the solvent system consisting of petroleum–ethyl acetate–methanol–H2O (3:3.8:3:3.8, v/v), yielding 12.1 mg of procumbenoside E (a); 7.6 mg of diphyllin-1-O-β-d-apiofuranoside (b); 7.4 mg of diphyllin (c); 8.3 mg of 6′-hydroxy justicidin B (d); and 7.9 mg of diphyllin acetyl apioside (e). The purities of the 10 components were all above 94%, and their structures were identified by NMR and ESI-MS spectra. The results demonstrated that the strategy based on HSCCC for the separation of lignans and their glycosides was efficient and rapid.

Abstract
A rapid, stable, and sensitive method based on ultra-fast liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-ESI-MS/MS) was established and optimized for quantification and pharmacokinetics analysis of chinensinaphthol methyl ether (CME) in rat urine. Samples were prepared by liquid phase extraction with ethyl acetate, and chromatographic separation was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC(®) BEH Phenyl column (2.1×50mm, 1.7μm). For gradient elution, we used a mobile phase consisting of water containing 0.1% formic acid and 5mmol/L ammonium formate and methanol with 0.1% formic acid. The quantification was executed under multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in positive mode. The precursor/product transition (m/z) in the positive ion mode was [M+H](+)m/z=395.1→346.1. This method was validated by evaluating specificity, linearity, matrix effects, recovery, accuracy, precision, and stability, which were all shown to be reasonable and reliable. The lower limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.5ng/mL, and the linear range was 0.5-100ng/mL. The method was successfully applied to quantify and analyze the pharmacokinetics of CME in rat urine. After oral administration of a single dose of CME (5.0mg/kg), the accumulated amount of CME excreted in urine was 162.3±54.1ng, and the terminal elimination half-life was 53.4±5.3h, indicating low CME excretion in urine and significant CME metabolism in vivo.

This cyclolignan exhibits a wide array of biological properties ranges from piscicidal to antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial activities. Activity against Trypanosoma brucei makes justicidin B a potential antiprotozoal agent for the treatment of neglected tropical diseases. Pharmacological properties like antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory and bone resorption inhibition have been also attributed to justicidin B. This compound is a potent cytotoxic substance on several cell lines, especially chronic myeloid and chronic lymphoid leukemia. Pharmacological values, natural variation, as well as biotechnological production of justicidin B by plant cell, tissue and organ culture are also described in this review. Chemical characteristics and chromatographic methods to identify justicidin B and its biosynthetic pathway have been discussed. Different approaches to the total synthesis of justicidin B are compared. This review would shed light on the role of justicidin B as an intriguing natural compound and provides a chance to optimize conditions for industrial applications.

Abstract
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge. var. alba C.Y. Wu and H.W. Li has wide prospects in clinical practice. A useful comprehensive method was developed for the quality evaluation of S. miltiorrhiza var. alba by three quantitative parameters: high-performance liquid chromatography fingerprint, ten-component contents, and antioxidant activity. The established method was validated for linearity, precision, repeatability, stability, and recovery. Principal components analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis were both used to evaluate the quality of the samples from different origins. The results showed that there were category discrepancies in quality of S. miltiorrhiza var. alba samples according to the three quantitative parameters. Multivariate linear regression was adopted to explore the relationship between components and antioxidant activity. Three constituents, namely, danshensu, rosmarinic acid, and salvianolic acid B, significantly correlated with antioxidant activity, and were successfully elucidated by the optimized multivariate linear regression model. The combined use of high-performance liquid chromatography fingerprint analysis, simultaneous multicomponent quantitative analysis, and antioxidant activity for the quality evaluation of S. miltiorrhiza var. alba is a reliable, comprehensive, and promising approach, which might provide a valuable reference for other herbal products in general to improve their quality control.

Abstract
Our previous reports showed that justicidin A (JA), a novel and pure arylnaphthalide lignan isolated from Justicia procumbens, induces apoptosis of human colorectal cancer cells and hepatocellular carcinoma cells, leading to the suppression of both tumor cell growth in NOD-SCID mice. Here, we reveal that JA induces autophagy in human colorectal cancer HT-29 cells by conversion of autophagic marker LC3-I to LC3-II. Furthermore, LC3 puncta and autophagic vesicle formation, and SQSTM1/p62 suppression were observed. Administration of autophagy inhibitor (bafilomycin A1 and chloroquine) and transfection of a tandem fluorescent-tagged LC3 (mRFP-GFP) reporter plasmid (ptfLC3) demonstrated that JA induces autophagy flux in HT-29 cells. Expression of LC3, SQSTM1, Beclin 1, and nuclear DNA double-strand breaks (representing apoptosis) were also detected in the tumor tissue of HT-29 cells transplanted into NOD-SCID mice orally administrated with JA. In addition, the expression of autophagy signaling pathway-related molecules p-PDK1, p-mTOR, p-p70S6k/p-RPS6KB2 was decreased, whereas that of class III PI3K, Beclin 1, Atg5-Atg12, and mitochondrial BNIP3 was increased in response to JA. Pre-treatment of the cells with class III PI3K inhibitor 3-methyladenine or Atg5 shRNA attenuated JA-induced LC3-II expression and LC3 puncta formation, indicating the involvement of class III PI3K and Atg5. A novel mechanism was demonstrated in the anticancer compound JA; pre-treatment with 3-methyladenine or Atg5 shRNA blocked JA-induced suppression in cell growth and colony formation, respectively, via inhibition of apoptosis. In contrast, administration of apoptosis inhibitor Z-VAD did not affect JA-induced autophagy. Our data suggest the chemotherapeutic potential of JA for treatment of human colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Lignans, which are recognized as main constituents in Justicia procumbens, have attracted considerable attention due to their pharmacological activities, including antitumor, anti-hepatitic, cytotoxic, anti-microbial, and anti-virus properties. Preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was successfully applied to the isolation and purification of four lignans (justicidin B (1), justicidin A (2), 6'-hydroxyjusticidin C (3) and lignan J1 (4)) from J. procumbens using stepwise elution with a pair of two-phase solvent systems composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water at (1.3:1:1.3:1, v/v) and (2.5:1:2.5:1, v/v). The preparative HSCCC separation was performed on 300 mg of crude sample yielding compounds 1 (19.7 mg), 2 (9.86 mg), 3 (11.26 mg), and 4 (2.54 mg) in a one-step separation, with purities over 95% as determined by HPLC. The structures of these compounds were identified by MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. This is the first report on the application of HSCCC to the efficient separation of lignans from J. procumbens.

Abstract
Polygonum capitatum, a traditional Miao medicinal plant, has significant effects on the treatment of urinary system infections and pyelonephritis. However, no study about the comprehensive quality evaluation of P. capitatum has been reported. In this contribution, a rapid and validated method based on HPLC coupled with triple quadrupole MS was established for the simultaneous determination of six active flavonoids, six phenolic acids, and a lignan in extracts of P. capitatum. These compounds were separated within 10 min on a C18 analytical column with gradient elution. All analyses were performed on an Agilent XDB C18 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 3.5 μm) with a linear gradient elution of acetonitrile/water. The proposed method was applied to analyze 15 batches of samples with acceptable linearity (r(2) , 0.9923-0.9992), precisions (RSD, 1.0-3.0%), repeatability (RSD, 2.0-3.2%), stability (RSD, 2.2-3.2%), and recovery (RSD, 2.1-3.6%) of the 13 compounds. These results demonstrated that this presented method was effective and reliable for the comprehensive quality evaluation of P. capitatum. Moreover, our study can provide chemical evidence to reveal the material basis of its therapeutic effects.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive HPLC coupled with photodiode array (HPLC-PDA) method was developed for simultaneous determination of seven lignans in Justicia procumbens using relative response factors (RRFs). The chromatographic separation was performed on a Shiseido Capcell Pak C(18) column (250 × 4.6 mm id, 5 μm), a gradient elution of acetonitrile/water, and a photodiode array detector. The column temperature was maintained at 35°C and the detection wavelength was set at 256 nm. Chinensinaphthol methyl ether was selected as the reference compound for calculating the relative response factors of the lignans. It has shown that the RRFs for lignans are quite similar at 256 nm of detection under different analytical conditions (different columns and HPLC instruments). Using RRFs, not every lignan is needed as a reference standard, making the method ideal for rapid, routine analysis, especially for those laboratories where lignans standards are not readily available. An economic and practicable HPLC method using RRFs was established for the determination of seven lignans in J. procumbens. This method not only can determine multiple indexes in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) simultaneously, but also resolve the problem of lacking of chemical standards. It will be a good quality evaluation method and pattern for TCMs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The large-leaved Kudingcha from the genus Ilex, which is used as a traditional Chinese tea, contains several characteristic triterpenoid saponins that can be subjected to quality control evaluation. OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a rapid method incorporating reverse-phase ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light scattering detection (UPLC-ELSD) for the simultaneous determination of the five triterpenoid saponins kudinoside L (1), kudinoside C (2), kudinoside A(3), kudinoside F(4) and kudinoside D(5) in several species of the large-leaved Kudingcha from the genus Ilex and 'Yerba Mate' (Ilex paraguariensis). METHODOLOGY The five compounds were separated using a water-acetonitrile mobile phase with a Waters Acquity BEH C(18)-column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm). RESULTS Separation took 13 min with detection and quantification limits ranging from 12.5 to 29.8 ng and 41.3 to 98.2 ng, respectively. The method was validated according to the regulatory guidelines with respect to precision, stability, repeatability and recovery. The triterpenoid saponins showed a good regression relationship (r(2) > 0.999) within the test ranges, and the recovery of the method was in the 95-105% range. CONCLUSION The present method can be used successfully for the quality control of the large-leaved Kudingcha. The different Ilex species showed differences in distribution of the five triterpenoids. Ilex kudingcha, which makes up the major species of the large-leaved Kudingcha, contains the maximum amount of triterpenoid saponins.
