Abstract
Inflammation is a complex biological response involving immune cells to an infection creating injury to the normal tissues. The anti-inflammatory efficacy of embelin, a benzoquinone from the plant Embelia ribes, was screened for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan and Freund's adjuvant-induced inflammation models. Embelin exhibited significant dose-dependent antioxidant potential. In carrageenan-induced inflammation, embelin (20 mg/kg) showed an inhibition of oedema by 71.01 ± 0.12% and 81.91 ± 0.67% in Freund's adjuvant-treated chronic inflammation model and resulted in a noticeable increase in adrenal size and restoration of the weight of spleen. Embelin also demonstrated cytoprotective effects on HEK-293 cells under induced oxidative stress. In silico analysis, embelin demonstrated binding energy of - 7.7 kcal/Mol and - 7.0 kcal/Mol with COX1 and COX2 with two hydrogen bonds. These results further prove that embelin could be a promising anti-inflammatory agent and supports the traditional use of Embelia ribes for rheumatism.

Identification and quantification of oleanane triterpenoid saponins and potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities from the roots and rhizomes of Panax stipuleanatus. J Ginseng Res 2021; 45:305-315. [PMID: 33841011 PMCID: PMC8020355 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgr.2020.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2019] [Revised: 04/26/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Panax stipuleanatus represents a folk medicine for treatment of inflammation. However, lack of experimental data does not confirm its function. This article aims to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of triterpenoid saponins isolated from P. stipuleanatus. METHODS The chemical characterization of P. stipuleanatus allowed the identification and quantitation of two major compounds. Analgesic effects of triterpenoid saponins were evaluated in two models of thermal- and chemical-stimulated acute pain. Anti-inflammatory effects of triterpenoid saponins were also evaluated using four models of acetic acid-induced vascular permeability, xylene-induced ear edema, carrageenan-induced paw edema, and cotton pellet-induced granuloma in mice. RESULTS Two triterpenoid saponins of stipuleanosides R1 (SP-R1) and R2 (SP-R2) were isolated and identified from P. stipuleanatus. The results showed that SP-R1 and SP-R2 significantly increased the latency time to thermal pain in the hot plate test and reduced the writhing response in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. SP-R1 and SP-R2 caused a significant decrease in vascular permeability, ear edema, paw edema, and granuloma formation in inflammatory models. Further studies showed that the levels of inflammatory mediators, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin 6 in paw tissues were downregulated by SP-R1 and SP-R2. In addition, the rational harvest of three- to five-year-old P. stipuleanatus was preferable to obtain a higher level of triterpenoid saponins. SP-R2 showed the highest content in P. stipuleanatus, which had potential as a chemical marker for quality control of P. stipuleanatus. CONCLUSION This study provides important basic information about utilization of P. stipuleanatus resources for production of active triterpenoid saponins.

Iridoid glycosides from Morinda officinalis How. exert anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects through inactivating MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. BMC Complement Med Ther 2020; 20:172. [PMID: 32503513 PMCID: PMC7275542 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-020-02895-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Accepted: 03/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The root of Morinda officinalis How. (MO, the family of Rubiaceae) has long been used to treat inflammatory diseases in China and other eastern Asian countries, and iridoid glycosides extracted from MO (MOIG) are believed to contribute to this anti-inflammatory effect. However, the mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities of MOIG has not been elucidated. The aim of the present study was to determine how MOIG exerted anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects in vivo and in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Methods MOIG were enriched by XDA-1 macroporous resin. The maximum feasible dose method was adopted to evaluate its acute toxicity. The analgesic effect of MOIG was evaluated by acetic acid writhing test and the anti-inflammatory effect was evaluated by cotton-pellet granuloma test in rats and air pouch granuloma test in mice. The anti-arthritic effect was evaluated by establishing an adjuvant arthritis model induced by Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA). The viability of the cultured RAW 264.7 macrophages was assessed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by measuring NO, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The protein level of inflammatory responsive genes was evaluated by Western blot analysis. Results MOIG had no significant toxicity at maximum feasible dose of 22.5 g/kg. MO extracts and MOIG (50,100 and 200 mg/kg) all evoked a significantly inhibitory effects on the frequency of twisting induced by acetic acid in mice compared with the model control group. Administration of MO extracts and MOIG markedly decreased the dry and wet weight of cotton pellet granuloma in rats and air pouch granuloma in mice. MOIG significantly attenuated the paw swelling and decreased the arthritic score, weight loss, spleen index, and the serum level of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-17a in CFA-induced arthritic rats. MOIG inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, and the expressions of iNOS, COX-2 and proteins related to MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Conclusion MOIG exerted anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities through inactivating MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, and this finding may provide a sound experimental basis for the clinical treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with MOIG.
