PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 221:114064. [PMID: 38508326 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
Abri Herba (AH, known as 'Ji-Gu-Cao' in China) has a long-term medicinal history of treating cholecystitis, acute and chronic hepatitis and non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) in China or other Asian countries. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of AH in terms of ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and toxicology. The information involved in the study was collected from a variety of electronic resources, and >100 scientific studies have been used since 1962. Until now, 95 chemical compounds have been isolated and identified from AH and the seeds of Abrus cantoniensis Hance (ACH), including 47 terpenoids, 26 flavonoids and 4 alkaloids. The pharmacological activities of AH extracts and their pure compounds have been explored in the aspects of anti-hyperlipidaemia, hepatoprotection, anti-tumour, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, immunomodulation, antioxidant and others. The pharmacokinetics and excretion kinetics of AH in vivo and 15 traditional and clinical prescriptions containing AH have been sorted out, and the potential therapeutic mechanism and drug metabolism pattern were also summarised. The pods of ACH are toxic, with a median lethal dose (LD50) of 10.01 ± 2.90 g/kg (i.g.) in mice. Interestingly, the toxicity of ACH's pods and seeds decreased after boiling. However, the toxicity mechanism of pods of ACH is unclear, limiting its clinical application. Clinical trials in the future should be used to explore its safety. Meanwhile, as one of the relevant pharmacological activities, the effects and mechanism of AH on anti-hyperlipidaemia and hepatoprotection should be further studied, which is of great significance for understanding its mechanism of action in the treatment of NAFL disease and improving its clinical application.

Zhang J, Nan Y, Su J, Jibril AU, Lv G. Qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of Leptadenia hastata: exploring a traditional african medicinal plant. Front Chem 2024; 12:1397549. [PMID: 38708031 PMCID: PMC11066277 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2024.1397549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Leptadenia hastata (Pers.) Decne is a commonly used food source and prescribed as a traditional African medicine for treatment of various diseases, such as diabetes, skin disorders, wounds, and ulcers. However, quality control has become a bottleneck restricting the therapeutic development and utilization of this plant. In this study, a reliable method for qualitative and quantitative determination of components in Leptadenia hastata was established. The components of L. hastata were profiled using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadruple time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS). Subsequently, an ultra-high performance tandem diode array detector (UHPLC-DAD)-based method was used for simultaneous quantitative analysis of five major constituents in six batches of L. hastata samples. As a result, 35 compounds were tentatively identified. The quantities of the five constituents (vicenin-Ⅱ, orientin, schaftoside, chrysin 6-C-arabinoside 8-C-glucoside, chrysin 6-C-glucoside 8-C-arabinoside) were determined as 124.8-156.9 μg/g, 170.5-216.0 μg/g, 61.31-93.73 μg/g, 85.13-119.3 μg/g and 99.82-129.4 μg/g, respectively. This method offers a successful strategy for precise and effective evaluation of the constituents of L. hastata, providing a robust foundation for holistic quality assessment of medicinal plants.

Xanthine oxidase inhibition study of isolated secondary metabolites from Dolichandrone spathacea (Bignoniaceae): In vitro and in silico approach. Saudi Pharm J 2024; 32:101980. [PMID: 38439949 PMCID: PMC10909772 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsps.2024.101980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Xanthine oxidase (XO) has been widely recognized as a pivotal enzyme in developing hyperuricemia, primarily contributing to the excessive production of uric acid during purine metabolism in the liver. One of the standard treatment approaches involves reducing uric acid levels by inhibiting XO activity. In this study, the leaf extract of Dolichandrone spathacea, traditionally used in folk medicine, was found to inhibit XO activity in the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions at a concentration of 100 µg/mL, their values were 78.57 ± 3.85 % (IC50 = 55.93 ± 5.73 µg/ml) and 69.43 ± 8.68 % (IC50 = 70.17 ± 7.98 µg/ml), respectively. The potential XO inhibitory components were isolated by bioactivity assays and the HR-ESI-MS and NMR spectra system. The main constituents of leaf extracts of Dolichandrone spathacea, six compounds, namely trans-4-methoxycinnamic acid (3), trans-3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid (4), p-coumaric acid (5), martynoside (6), 6-O-(p-methoxy-E-cinnamoyl)-ajugol (7), and scolymoside (17), were identified as potent XO inhibitors with IC50 values ranging from 19.34 ± 1.63 μM to 64.50 ± 0.94 μM. The enzyme kinetics indicated that compounds 3-5, 7, and 17 displayed competitive inhibition like allopurinol, while compound 6 displayed a mixed-type inhibition. Computational studies corroborated these experimental results, highlighting the interactions between potential metabolites and XO enzyme. The hydrogen bonds played crucial roles in the binding interaction, especially, scolymoside (17) forms a hydrogen bond with Mos3004, exhibited the lowest binding energy (-18.3286 kcal/mol) corresponding to the lowest IC50 (19.34 ± 1.63 μM). Furthermore, nine compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant. In conclusion, Dolichandrone spathacea and its constituents possess the potential to modulate the xanthine oxidase enzyme involved in metabolism.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common metabolic liver disease globally, and the incidence of NAFLD has been increasing rapidly year by year. Currently, there is no effective pharmacotherapy for NAFLD. Therefore, studies are urgently needed to explore therapeutic drugs for NAFLD. In this study, we show that isoschaftoside (ISO) dramatically reduces lipid deposition in cells. Meanwhile, ISO treatment reverses the NAFLD and reduces hepatic steatosis in mice. Importantly, we reveal that ISO suppresses the expression of light-chain 3-II (LC3-II) and SQSTM1/p62 in palmitic acid (PA) induced autophagy inhibition in the cell model and the NAFLD mouse model, which suggests that ISO might reverse NAFLD through regulating autophagy flux. We propose that ISO might alleviate hepatic steatosis in NAFLD via regulating autophagy machinery. Consequently, our study suggests that ISO might be of potential clinical value in the field of NAFLD therapy. ISO might have the potential for future therapeutic application.

Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:862006. [PMID: 35498747 PMCID: PMC9051509 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.862006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
As a metabolic disease, fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) has become a serious concern in laying hens worldwide. Abrus cantoniensis Hance (AC) is a commonly used plant in traditional medicine for liver disease treatment. Nevertheless, the effect and mechanism of the decoction of AC (ACD) on FLHS remain unclear. In this study, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography analysis was used to identify the main phytochemicals in ACD. FLHS model of laying hens was induced by a high-energy low-protein (HELP) diet, and ACD (0.5, 1, 2 g ACD/hen per day) was given to the hens in drinking water at the same time for 48 days. Biochemical blood indicators and histopathological analysis of the liver were detected and observed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of ACD. Moreover, the effects of ACD on liver metabolomics and gut microbiota in laying hens with FLHS were investigated. The results showed that four phytochemicals, including abrine, hypaphorine, vicenin-2, and schaftoside, were identified in ACD. ACD treatment ameliorated biochemical blood indicators in laying hens with FLHS by decreasing aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total cholesterol, and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In addition, lipid accumulation in the liver and pathological damages were relieved in ACD treatment groups. Moreover, distinct changes in liver metabolic profile after ACD treatment were observed, 17 endogenous liver metabolites mainly associated with the metabolism of arachidonic acid, histidine, tyrosine, and tryptophan were reversed by ACD. Gut microbiota analysis revealed that ACD treatment significantly increased bacterial richness (Chao 1, P < 0.05; Ace, P < 0.01), and upregulated the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and downregulated Proteobacteria, improving the negative effects caused by HELP diet in laying hens. Taken together, ACD had a protective effect on FLHS by regulating blood lipids, reducing liver lipid accumulation, and improving the dysbiosis of liver metabolomics and gut microbiota.

Abstract
Background:
Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) participates in the degradation of different
types of collagens in the extracellular matrix and basement membrane. Up-regulation of the
MMP-8 has been demonstrated in many disorders including cancer development, tooth caries, periodontal/
peri-implant soft and hard tissue degeneration, and acute/chronic inflammation. Therefore,
MMP-8 has become an encouraging target for therapeutic procedures for scientists. We carried out a
molecular docking approach to study the binding affinity of 29 flavonoids, as drug candidates, with
the MMP-8. Pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of the compounds were also studied.
Moreover, it was attempted to identify the most important amino acids participating in ligand binding
based on the degree of each of the amino acids in the ligand-amino acid interaction network for
MMP-8.
Methods:
Three-dimensional structure of the protein was gained from the RCSB database (PDB ID: 4QKZ).
AutoDock version 4.0 and Cytoscape 3.7.2 were used for molecular docking and network analysis,
respectively. Notably, the inhibitor of the protein in the crystalline structure of the 4QKZ was considered
as a control test. Pharmacokinetic and toxicological features of compounds were predicted
using bioinformatics web tools. Post-docking analyses were performed using BIOVIA Discovery
Studio Visualizer version 19.1.0.18287.
Results and Discussions:
According to results, 24 of the studied compounds were considered to be
top potential inhibitors for MMP-8 based on their salient estimated free energy of binding and inhibition
constant as compared with the control test: Apigenin-7-glucoside, nicotiflorin, luteolin,
glabridin, taxifolin, apigenin, licochalcone A, quercetin, isorhamnetin, myricetin, herbacetin,
kaemferol, epicatechin, chrysin, amentoflavone, rutin, orientin, epiafzelechin, quercetin-3-
rhamnoside, formononetin, isoliquiritigenin, vitexin, catechine, and isoquercitrin. Moreover, His-
197 was found to be the most important amino acid involved in the ligand binding for the enzyme.
Conclusion:
The results of the current study could be used in the prevention and therapeutic procedures
of a number of disorders such as cancer progression and invasion, oral diseases, and
acute/chronic inflammation. Although, in vitro and in vivo tests are inevitable in the future.

Abstract
The extracts from the bark of Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus have been analyzed by using high pressure liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. For the first time in the bark of Prunus species flavonoid C-glycosides have been detected. On the basis of the characteristic fragmentation patterns of their [M-H]- and [M + H]+ ions, three flavonoid C-glycosides have been identified, namely apigenin-6,8-di-C-glucoside (vicenin-2), apigenin-6-C-glucoside (isovitexin) and chrysin-8-C-glucoside. Taking into account the widely studied biological activities of flavonoid C-glycosides, the barks of these common fruit trees seem to be interesting materials of potential medical or cosmetic application.
