Herbal remedies in the management of hyperuricemia and gout: A review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical evidences. Phytother Res 2024. [PMID: 38655878 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Gout, or hyperuricemia is a multifactorial and multi-faceted metabolic disease that is quite difficult to manage and/or treat. Conventional therapies such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as allopurinol, corticosteroids and colchicine amongst others, have helped in its management and treatment to some extent. This study aimed to compile and analyze the different herbal remedies used in the management of hyperuricemia and gout. A literature search was conducted from key databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar) using relevant keywords via the PRISMA model. Smilax riparia A.DC. from Traditional Chinese Medicine is used in many countries for its therapeutic effect on lowering serum urate levels. No single study was able to establish the efficacy of a specific traditionally used herb via in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. Patients were found to use a panoply of natural remedies, mainly plants to treat hyperuricemia and gout, which have been validated to some extent by in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. Nonetheless, further research is needed to better understand the ethnopharmacological relationship of such herbal remedies.

Abstract
Phyla nodiflora (Linnaeus) Greene (1899) is a perennial creeping herb belonging to the family Verbenaceae. It has numerous pharmacological properties, including anti-dandruff, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-melanogenesis, anti-hypertensive, and anti-hyperuricemic properties. We generated the complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. nodiflora using Illumina paired-end sequencing data. The P. nodiflora chloroplast genome is 154,341 bp in length, containing a large single copy (LSC) region of 85,185 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,222 bp, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,967 bp. The genome contained 128 genes, including 86 protein-coding, 34 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. Six genes had one intron, one gene had two introns, and the others did not have an intron. Overall GC content of the chloroplast genome was 39%, while those of LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 38.2%, 33.7%, and 44%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast genome revealed that P. nodiflora is closely related to the other species from Verbenaceae.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Shi Wei Ru Xiang powder (SWR) is a traditional Tibetan medicinal formula with the effect of dispelling dampness and dispersing cold. In clinical practice, SWR is generally used for the treatment of hyperuricemia (HUA). However, its exact pharmacological mechanism remains unclear. AIMS OF THE STUDY To preliminarily elucidate the regulatory effects and possible mechanisms of SWR on hyperuricemia using network pharmacology and experimental validation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A mouse model of hyperuricemia was used to evaluate the alleviating effect of SWR on hyperuricemia. The major components of SWR were acquired by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. The potential molecular targets and associated signaling pathways were predicted through network pharmacology. The mechanism of action of SWR in ameliorating hyperuricemia was further investigated by pharmacological evaluation. RESULTS Mice with hyperuricemia and renal dysfunction were ameliorated by SWR. The 36 components of SWR included phenolic acids, terpenoids, alkaloids and flavonoids were identified. Network pharmacological analysis showed the involvement of the above compounds, and 115 targets were involved to treat hyperuricemia, involving multiple biological processes and different signaling pathways. Pharmacological experiments validated that SWR ameliorated hyperuricemic nephropathy in mice by modulating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathway and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. CONCLUSION MAPK signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway play important roles in the therapeutic effects of SWR on hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Background. Chinese herbal medicines are widely used to lower serum uric acid levels. However, no systemic review summarizes and evaluates their efficacies and the underlying mechanisms of action. Objectives. To evaluate the clinical and experimental evidences for the effectiveness and the potential mechanism of Chinese herbal medicines in lowering serum uric acid levels. Methods. Four electronic databases PubMed, Wed of Science, the Cochrane Library and Embase were used to search for Chinese herbal medicines for their effects in lowering serum uric acid levels, dated from 1 January 2009 to 19 August 2020. For clinical trials, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included; and for experimental studies, original articles were included. The methodological quality of RCTs was assessed according to the Cochrane criteria. For clinical trials, a meta-analysis of continuous variables was used to obtain pooled effects. For experimental studies, lists were used to summarize and integrate the mechanisms involved. Results. A total of 10 clinical trials and 184 experimental studies were included. Current data showed that Chinese herbal medicines have promising clinical efficacies in patients with elevated serum uric acid levels (SMD: −1.65, 95% CI: −3.09 to −0.22; p = 0.024). There was no significant difference in serum uric acid levels between Chinese herbal medicine treatments and Western medicine treatments (SMD: −0.13, 95% CI: −0.99 to 0.74; p = 0.772). Experimental studies revealed that the mechanistic signaling pathways involved in the serum uric acid lowering effects include uric acid synthesis, uric acid transport, inflammation, renal fibrosis and oxidative stress. Conclusions. The clinical studies indicate that Chinese herbal medicines lower serum uric acid levels. Further studies with sophisticated research design can further demonstrate the efficacy and safety of these Chinese herbal medicines in lowering serum uric acid levels and reveal a comprehensive picture of the underlying mechanisms of action.

Abstract
This study used a network pharmacology approach to investigate the potential active ingredients of Plantaginis Herba and its underlying mechanisms in hyperuricemia treatment. The potential active ingredients of Plantaginis Herba were obtained from TCMSP and ETCM databases, and the potential targets of the active ingredients were predicted using the Swiss TargetPrediction database. The potential therapeutic targets of hyperuricemia were retrieved from the GeneCards, DisGeNET, and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) databases. Then, the integrative bioinformatics analyses of candidates were performed by GO analysis, KEGG analysis, and PPI network construction. There were 15 predicted active ingredients in Plantaginis Herba and 41 common targets that may be involved in the treatment of hyperuricemia. A total of 61 GO annotations and 35 signaling pathways were identified by enrichment analysis (P < 0.01). The underlying mechanisms of Plantaginis Herba may be related to insulin resistance, PI3K/AKT, TNF, VEGF, AMPK, and glucagon signaling pathways. Thus, the present study provided potential and promising strategies of Plantaginis Herba for hyperuricemia treatment.

Potential Molecular Mechanisms of Plantain in the Treatment of Gout and Hyperuricemia Based on Network Pharmacology. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:3023127. [PMID: 33149752 PMCID: PMC7603577 DOI: 10.1155/2020/3023127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2020] [Revised: 07/13/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Background The incidence of gout and hyperuricemia is increasing year by year in the world. Plantain is a traditional natural medicine commonly used in the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia, but the molecular mechanism of its active compounds is still unclear. Based on network pharmacology, this article predicts the targets and pathways of effective components of plantain for gout and hyperuricemia and provides effective reference for clinical medication. Method Traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP) and SymMap databases were used to screen out the active compounds and their targets in plantain. GeneCards, Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) databases were used to find the targets corresponding to gout and hyperuricemia. Venn diagram was used to obtain the intersection targets of plantain and diseases. The interaction network of the plantain active compounds-targets-pathways-diseases was constructed by using Cytoscape 3.7.2 software. Finally, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were carried out. Result Seven active compounds were identified by network pharmacological analysis, including dinatin, baicalein, baicalin, sitosterol, 6-OH-luteolin, stigmasterol, and luteolin. Plantain plays a role in gout and hyperuricemia diseases by regulating various biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions. The core targets of plantain for treating gout are MAPK1, RELA, TNF, NFKBIA, and IFNG, and the key pathways are pathways in cancer, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway, interleukin (IL)-17 signaling pathway, Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis), and relaxin signaling pathway. The core targets of plantain for hyperuricemia are RELA, MAPK1, NFKBIA, CASP3, CASP8, and TNF, and the main pathways are pathways in cancer, apoptosis, hepatitis B, IL-17 signaling pathway, and toxoplasmosis. Conclusion This study explored the related targets and mechanisms of plantain for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia from the perspective of network pharmacological analysis, reflecting the characteristics of multiple components, multiple targets, and multiple pathways, and it provides a good theoretical basis for the clinical application of plantain.

Abstract
Premna serratifolia, commonly known as Arogo in Tentena-Sulawesi, is a popular vegetable. As a promising herbal tea and food ingredient, further investigation is required to find the best knowledge for medicinal use of P. serratifolia leaves. This research investigated the antioxidant activity of the ethanol (EEPS) and water (WEPS) extracts of P. serratifolia leaves, based on their scavenging activities on DPPH radicals and their reducing capacities (CuPRAC, total antioxidant/phosphomolybdenum, and ferric thiocyanate reducing power assays). The DNA-protecting effect by EEPS was tested using pBR322 plasmid DNA against •OH radical-induced damage. The inhibition potentials of both extracts against several enzymes related to metabolic diseases (α-glucosidase, α-amylase, xanthine oxidase, and protease) were evaluated. The phytochemical analysis was conducted by an LC-QTOF-MS/MS technique. EEPS proved to be a better antioxidant and had higher phenolic content compared to WEPS. EEPS demonstrated a protective effect on DNA with recovery percentage linearly correlated with EEPS concentrations. Strong inhibition on α-glucosidase and α-amylase was observed for EEPS; however, EEPS and WEPS showed weak inhibitions on xanthine oxidase and protease. LC-QTOF-MS/MS analysis identified seven main components in EEPS, namely scroside E, forsythoside A and forsythoside B, lavandulifolioside, diosmin, nobilin D, campneoside I, and isoacteoside. These components may be responsible for the observed enzymes inhibitions and antioxidant properties. Premna serratifolia leaves can be an appropriate choice for the development of nutraceutical and drug preparations.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is a common metabolic disease that is caused by high serum uric acid levels. It is considered to be closely associated with the development of many chronic diseases, such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. While pharmaceutical drugs have been shown to exhibit serious side effects, and bioactive compounds from plant-based functional foods have been demonstrated to be active in the treatment of hyperuricemia with only minimal side effects. Indeed, previous reports have revealed the significant impact of bioactive compounds from plant-based functional foods on hyperuricemia. This review focuses on plant-based functional foods that exhibit a hypouricemic function and discusses the different bioactive compounds and their pharmacological effects. More specifically, the bioactive compounds of plant-based functional foods are divided into six categories, namely flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, saponins, polysaccharides, and others. In addition, the mechanism by which these bioactive compounds exhibit a hypouricemic effect is summarized into three classes, namely the inhibition of uric acid production, improved renal uric acid elimination, and improved intestinal uric acid secretion. Overall, this current and comprehensive review examines the use of bioactive compounds from plant-based functional foods as natural remedies for the management of hyperuricemia.

EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:9531725. [PMID: 32184901 PMCID: PMC7060854 DOI: 10.1155/2020/9531725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2019] [Revised: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 12/24/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Hyperuricemia is characterized by elevated uric acid (UA) levels on blood, which can lead to gout, a common pathology. These high UA levels are associated with increased purine ingestion and metabolization and/or its decreased excretion. In this field, xanthine oxidase (XO), by converting hypoxanthine and xanthine to UA, plays an important role in hyperuricemia control. Based on limitations and adverse effects associated with the use of allopurinol and febuxostat, the most known approved drugs with XO inhibitory effect, the search for new molecules with XO activity is growing. However, despite the high number of studies, it was found that the majority of tested products with relevant XO inhibition were left out, and no further pharmacological evaluation was performed. Thus, in the present review, available information published in the past six years concerning isolated molecules with in vitro XO inhibition complemented with cytotoxicity evaluation as well as other relevant studies, including in vivo hypouricemic effect, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile was compiled. Interestingly, the analysis of data collected demonstrated that molecules from natural sources or their mimetics and semisynthetic derivatives constitute the majority of compounds being explored at the moment by means of in vitro and in vivo animal studies. Therefore, several of these molecules can be useful as lead compounds and some of them can even have the potential to be considered in the future clinical candidates for the treatment of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
The phenylethanoid glycosides and flavonoids of Lippia nodiflora were reported as xanthine oxidase inhibitors that possessed antihyperuricemic effects in chemically-induced hyperuricemic rats. The present study developed a validated high performance liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous phytochemical analysis of five isolated antihyperuricemic constituents in L. nodiflora, comprising two phenylethanoid glycosides, arenarioside (1) and verbascoside (2), and three flavonoids, 6-hydroxyluteolin (3), 6-hydroxyluteolin-7- O-glycoside (4) and nodifloretin (5). These compounds were analysed at 340 nm, using gradient elution of 0.1 % aqueous acetic acid and acetonitrile. The limits of detection were 78.1 ng/mL for 3 and 39.1 ng/mL for the other compounds at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The limits of quantification were 312.5 ng/mL for 3 and 156.3 ng/mL for the rest at a signal-to-noise ratio of 12. The intra-day and inter-day accuracy for the five bioactive constituents were between 98.60 % and 100.97 % while their precision values were below 2.11 %. The method was then successfully applied for the quantification of 1-5 in the methanolic extract of L. nodiflora whole plant and its fractions (F1-F4), the methanolic plant part extracts (leaves, stems, roots, and flowers), and water extract of the L. nodiflora whole plant at room temperature.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Traditional Chinese herbal formulas are difficult to be understood because of complex compositions and specific therapeutic principles. To better understand herbal compatibility in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this study was conducted to investigate the effects of a Chinese pharmacopoeia-listed formula, Erding Formula (EF) and its constituent herbs for a new indication, hyperuricaemia.
Methods
A hypoxanthine and potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic mouse model, a xylene-induced inflammatory mouse model and an acetic acid-induced pain model were used to test the effects of EF and its constituent herbs. In addition, we investigated whether EF and/or its relevant herbs had an impact on the expression of URAT1 and OAT3 mRNA.
Key findings
The results showed EF and individual herbs had pharmacological effects on selected targets. Only Viola yedoensis Makino (Viola) lowered uric acid levels, while all four herbs had anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The EF may lower the uric acid level through inhibiting the expression of URAT1 mRNA and enhancing the expression of OAT3 mRNA.
Conclusions
These findings provide pharmacological insights into the effects of EF and individual herbs on UA excretion. This study suggests that Viola is the main herb in EF. This study facilitates better understanding of TCM principles and theories using modern pharmaceutical approaches.
