Abstract
1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives (1,4-DHPs) are a class of drugs used to treat cardiovascular diseases, but these drugs can cause liver injury. To reveal the toxicity characteristics of these compounds, we used a series of assays, including cell viability, enzyme activity detection, and western blotting, to investigate the toxicity of seven kinds of 1,4-DHPs (0-100 μM) on HepG2 cells and establish 3D-QSAR model based on relevant toxicity data. After HepG2 cells were treated with 1,4-DHPs for 24 h, high-dose (100 μM) 1,4-DHPs decreased cell viability to varying degrees, while ROS and MDA contents were significantly increased, and ATP content was reduced. Moreover, with the concentration of 100 μM 1,4-DHPs (Nimodipine, Nitrendipine, Cilnidipine, and Manidipine) were markedly inhibited the phosphorylation levels of mTOR protein. The results of the 3D-QSAR model showed that the non-cross validation coefficient (R2) and cross validation coefficient (Q2) of the model were 0.982 and 0.652, respectively. Combined with external validation and the Williams diagram, the model showed good predictability and application domain. Based on the CoMSIA 3D contour map, the introduction of large volume and hydrogen bond receptor groups on the carbonyl oxygen side chains of the 1,4-DHPs ring 3- and 5- was beneficial for reducing the toxicity of 1,4-DHPs. The results of this study could supplement information on the cytotoxicity of 1,4-DHPs, and could provide theoretical support for predicting the toxicity of 1,4-DHPs.

Abstract
Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth, Kutki (P.kurroa) is an important medicinal plant, traditionally recommended and used in Ayurveda for millennia, with certain cautions. There has been a significant revival of keen interest in its pharmacology, pharmacognosy, and phytochemistry for the last few decades. The evidence of its hepatoprotective activity, in experimental and clinical studies, accelerated the correlation of the specific phytochemical constituents of P.kurroa with precise pharmacological activities. Iridoid glycosides, particularly picrosides, emerged as the active molecules. For effective translation of traditional remedies into modern therapy, value addition by mechanistic understanding of molecular actions, drug targets, the degrees of efficacy and safety as well as convenient dosage forms is needed. Reverse pharmacology approach and phytopharmaceutical drug category facilitate such a translation. The present review illustrates how a potential translation of traditional practices of using P.kurroa into a phytochemically standardized, clinically targeted natural product for global unmet medical needs viz. Fatty liver disease can be attained.

Abstract
The protective effect of plant active ingredients against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming increasingly prominent, and the terpenoids have always been the main active compounds in Chinese herbal medicine exerting hepatoprotective effects. However, the related pharmacological effects, especially for monoterpenoids or iridoid glycosides, which have obvious effects on improvement of NAFLD, have not been systematically analyzed. The objective of this review is to systematically examine the molecular mechanisms of monoterpenoids in NAFLD. The signaling pathways of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, insulin, nuclear factor κB, toll-like receptor, adipocytokine, RAC-α serine/threonine protein kinase, mammalian target of rapamycin, 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase, and autophagy have been proven to mediate this protective effect. We further compared the experimental data from animal models, including the dosage of these monoterpenoids in detail, and demonstrated that they are effective and safe candidate drugs for NAFLD. This review provides a reference for the development of NAFLD drugs as well as a research guideline for the potential uses of plant monoterpenoids.
