Wu N, Liu H, Lv X, Sun Y, Jiang H. Neobaicalein prevents isoflurane anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment in neonatal mice via regulating CREB1. Clinics (Sao Paulo) 2023; 78:100201. [PMID: 37120983 PMCID: PMC10173397 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinsp.2023.100201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Isoflurane (ISO) is widely used in the clinic and research. The authors aimed to explore whether Neobaicalein (Neob) could protect neonatal mice from ISO-induced cognitive damage. METHOD The open field test, Morris water maze test, and tail suspension test was performed to assess the cognitive function in mice. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to evaluate inflammatory-related protein concentrations. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess Ionized calcium-Binding Adapter molecule-1 (IBA-1) expression. Hippocampal neuron viability was detected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Double immunofluorescence staining was employed to confirm the interaction between proteins. Western blotting was used to assess protein expression levels. RESULTS Neob notably improved cognitive function and exhibited anti-inflammatory effects; moreover, under iso-treatment, it exhibited neuroprotective effects. Furthermore, Neob suppressed interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 levels and upregulated interleukin-10 levels in ISO-treated mice. Neob significantly mitigated iso-induced increases in IBA-1-positive cell numbers of the hippocampus in neonatal mice. Furthermore, it inhibited ISO-induced neuronal apoptosis. Mechanistically, Neob was observed to upregulate cAMP Response Element Binding protein (CREB1) phosphorylation and protected hippocampal neurons from ISO-mediated apoptosis. Moreover, it rescued ISO-induced abnormalities of synaptic protein. CONCLUSIONS Neob prevented ISO anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment by suppressing apoptosis and inflammation through upregulating CREB1.

Novel transketolase inhibitor oroxylin A suppresses the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway and hepatocellular carcinoma tumour growth in mice and patient-derived organoids. Clin Transl Med 2022; 12:e1095. [PMID: 36314067 PMCID: PMC9619225 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.1095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transketolase (TKT), a key rate-limiting enzyme in the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), provides more than 85% of the ribose required for de novo nucleotide biosynthesis and promotes the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Pharmacologic inhibition of TKT could impede HCC development and enhance treatment efficacy. However, no safe and effective TKT inhibitor has been approved. METHODS An online two-dimensional TKT protein immobilised biochromatographic system was established for high-throughput screening of TKT ligands. Oroxylin A was found to specifically bind TKT. Drug affinity responsive target stability, cellular thermal shift assay, surface plasmon resonance, molecular docking, competitive displacement assay, and site mutation were performed to identify the binding of oroxylin A with TKT. Antitumour effects of oroxylin A were evaluated in vitro, in human xenograft mice, diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced HCC mice, and patient-derived organoids (PDOs). Metabolomic analysis was applied to detect the enzyme activity. Transcriptome profiling was conducted to illustrate the anti-HCC mechanism of oroxylin A. TKT knocking-down HCC cell lines and PDOs were established to evaluate the role of TKT in oroxylin A-induced HCC suppression. RESULTS By targeting TKT, oroxylin A stabilised the protein to proteases and temperature extremes, decreased its activity and expression, resulted in accumulation of non-oxidative PPP substrates, and activated p53 signalling. In addition, oroxylin A suppressed cell proliferation, induced apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest, and inhibited the growth of human xenograft tumours and DEN-induced HCC in mice. Crucially, TKT depletion exerted identical effects to oroxylin A, and the promising inhibitor also exhibited excellent therapeutic efficacy against clinically relevant HCC PDOs. CONCLUSIONS These results uncover a unique role for oroxylin A in TKT inhibition, which directly targets TKT and suppresses the non-oxidative PPP. Our findings will facilitate the development of small-molecule inhibitors of TKT and novel therapeutics for HCC.

Modulation of diverse oncogenic signaling pathways by oroxylin A: An important strategy for both cancer prevention and treatment. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 105:154369. [PMID: 35985182 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/31/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Regardless of major advances in diagnosis, prevention and treatment strategies, cancer is still a foreboding cause due to factors like chemoresistance, radioresistance, adverse side effects and cancer recurrence. Therefore, continuous development of unconventional approaches is a prerequisite to overcome foregoing glitches. Natural products have found their way into treatment of serious health conditions, including cancer since ancient times. The compound oroxylin A (OA) is one among those with enormous potential against different malignancies. It is a flavonoid obtained from the several plants such as Oroxylum indicum, Scutellaria baicalensis and S. lateriflora, Anchietea pyrifolia, and Aster himalaicus. PURPOSE The main purpose of this study is to comprehensively elucidate the anticancerous effects of OA against various malignancies and unravel their chemosensitization and radiosensitization potential. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of OA have also been investigated. METHOD The literature on antineoplastic effects of OA was searched in PubMed and Scopus, including in vitro and in vivo studies and is summarized based on a systematic review protocol prepared according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The term "oroxylin A" was used in combination with "cancer" and all the title, abstracts and keywords appeared were considered. RESULTS In Scopus, a total of 157 articles appeared out of which 103 articles that did not meet the eligibility criteria were eliminated and 54 were critically evaluated. In PubMed, from the 85 results obtained, 26 articles were eliminated and 59 were included in the preparation of this review. Mounting number of studies have illustrated the anticancer effects of OA, and its mechanism of action. CONCLUSION OA is a promising natural flavonoid possessing wide range of pleiotropic properties and is a potential anticancer agent. It has a great potential in the treatment of multiple cancers including brain, breast, cervical, colon, esophageal, gall bladder, gastric, hematological, liver, lung, oral, ovarian, pancreatic and skin. However, lack of pharmacokinetic studies, toxicity assessments, and dose standardization studies and adverse effects limit the optimization of this compound as a therapeutic agent.

In situ synthesis and unidirectional insertion of membrane proteins in liposome-immobilized silica stationary phase for rapid preparation of microaffinity chromatography. Acta Pharm Sin B 2022; 12:3682-3693. [PMID: 36176904 PMCID: PMC9513493 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2022.04.010] [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: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Cell membrane affinity chromatography has been widely applied in membrane protein (MP)-targeted drug screening and interaction analysis. However, in current methods, the MP sources are derived from cell lines or recombinant protein expression, which are time-consuming for cell culture or purification, and also difficult to ensure the purity and consistent orientation of MPs in the chromatographic stationary phase. In this study, a novel in situ synthesis membrane protein affinity chromatography (iSMAC) method was developed utilizing cell-free protein expression (CFE) and covalent immobilized affinity chromatography, which achieved efficient in situ synthesis and unidirectional insertion of MPs into liposomes in the stationary phase. The advantages of iSMAC are: 1) There is no need to culture cells or prepare recombinant proteins; 2) Specific and purified MPs with stable and controllable content can be obtained within 2 h; 3) MPs maintain the transmembrane structure and a consistent orientation in the chromatographic stationary phase; 4) The flexible and personalized construction of cDNAs makes it possible to analyze drug binding sites. iSMAC was successfully applied to screen PDGFRβ inhibitors from Salvia miltiorrhiza and Schisandra chinensis. Micro columns prepared by in-situ synthesis maintain satisfactory analysis activity within 72 h. Two new PDGFRβ inhibitors, salvianolic acid B and gomisin D, were screened out with KD values of 13.44 and 7.39 μmol/L, respectively. In vitro experiments confirmed that the two compounds decreased α-SMA and collagen Ӏ mRNA levels raised by TGF-β in HSC-T6 cells through regulating the phosphorylation of p38, AKT and ERK. In vivo, Sal B could also attenuate CCl4-induced liver fibrosis by downregulating PDGFRβ downstream related protein levels. The iSMAC method can be applied to other general MPs, and provides a practical approach for the rapid preparation of MP-immobilized or other biological solid-phase materials.

Abstract
Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is a biomimetic chromatographic method based on the ability of membrane receptors to selectively interact with their ligands in vivo. Using membrane receptors as a stationary phase, the CMC method helps in determining the binding characteristics between ligands and membrane receptors and in efficiently identifying specific target components in a complex sample that produce the cellular biological effects of ligands (drugs, antibodies, enzymes, cytokines, etc.). CMC is an analytical tool for revealing characteristics of ligand-receptor interactions, screening and discovering target substances, and accurately controlling the quality of drugs. Since establishment of CMC in the early 1990s, with the rapid development of cell biology, significant progress has been made in the development of high-expression receptors, engineered cell cultures, and standardized preparations, which allowed in vitro immobilization of cell membrane receptors and miniaturization of binding assays. A variety of CMC models have been established using different membrane receptors as a stationary phase, and many new methods have been developed by combining CMC with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/mass spectrometry or HPLC-IT-TOF technologies. CMC methods have been widely used to study drug-receptor interactions and to screen complex samples for effective or harmful components.

Abstract
Screening active components targeting membrane proteins is important for drug discovery from traditional Chinese medicine. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) has achieved a wide application in screening active components on pathological cells due to its high sensitivity and effectiveness. However, it is hard to clarify the specific target protein through simply using pathological and normal cells. In this study, a novel comparative two-dimensional (2D) cell membrane chromatography system was established. Based on the construction of hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SK-Hep1-GPC3 with high expression of protein Glypican-3 (GPC3), SK-Hep1-GPC3/CMC column was loaded to screen selective antitumor components from Scutellariae Radix according to the retention behaviors on column. Viscidulin I was retained on SK-Hep1-GPC3/CMC column, and showed 4.33 μM affinity to GPC3 according to surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The IC50 of viscidulin I on SK-Hep1-GPC3 cells was 18.01 μM in cell proliferation assay. Thus, this method can be applied to screen complex herbal medicines for ligands bound to specific target protein receptor related to hepatic carcinoma.

Abstract
Pneumonia is a serious global health problem and the leading cause of mortality in children. Antibiotics are the main treatment for bacterial pneumonia, but there are serious drug resistance problems. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used to treat diseases for thousands of years and has a unique theory. This article takes the treatment of pneumonia with Ephedra sinica as a representative hot medicine and Scutellariae Radix as a representative cold medicine as an example. We explore and explain the theory of treating the same disease with different TCM treatments. Using transcriptomics and network pharmacology methods, GO, KEGG enrichment, and PPI network construction were carried out, demonstrating that Ephedra sinica plays a therapeutic role through the NF-κB and apoptosis signaling pathways targeting PLAU, CD40LG, BLC2L1, CASP7, and CXCL8. The targets of Scutellariae Radix through the IL-17 signaling pathway are MMP9, CXCL8, and MAPK14. Molecular docking technology was also used to verify the results. In short, our results provide evidence for the theory of treating the same disease with different treatments, and we also discuss future directions for traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract
Crystal-induced kidney injury (CIKI) is the fundamental pathological change during nephrolithiasis, although the molecular mechanism is still unclear. Pyrrosia calvata (Bak.) Ching has been used in folk medicine to treat urolithiasis for years. To clarify the pharmacodynamic substances and the mechanism of its antiurolithiasis effects, in this study, a novel, stop-flow, comprehensive, two-dimensional (2D) HK-2 and HK-2/CIKI cell membrane chromatography (CMC) comparative analysis system was developed to screen for the potential active ingredients from Pyrrosia calvata (Bak.) Ching against CIKI. The comprehensive 2D CMC comparative analysis system showed satisfactory selectivity, and eight ingredients were screened and identified by this system. Among them, mangiferin exhibited higher affinity for the HK-2/CIKI CMC column than the HK-2 CMC column and was selected for further efficacy verification. Cell proliferation assays showed that mangiferin could protect HK-2 cell viability after stimulation with sodium oxalate (NaOX). Additionally, in a rodent model of CIKI, mangiferin decreased the deposition of calcium oxalate (CaOX) crystals in mouse kidneys, alleviated the pathological damage to kidney tissue, and inhibited the upregulation of OPN, MCP1, and CD44 expression caused by CaOX crystals. The established comprehensive 2D CMC comparative analysis system can be applied to screen active ingredients with disease specificity from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is suitable for other cell models.

Abstract
Natural products have provided numerous lead compounds for drug discovery. However, the traditional analytical methods cannot detect most of these active components, especially at their usual low concentrations, from complex natural products. Herein, we reviewed the recent technological advances (2015–2019) related to the separation and screening bioactive components from natural resources, especially the emerging screening methods based on the bioaffinity techniques, including biological chromatography, affinity electrophoresis, affinity mass spectroscopy, and the latest magnetic and optical methods. These screening methods are uniquely advanced compared to other traditional methods, and they can fish out the active components from complex natural products because of the affinity between target and components, without tedious separation works. Therefore, these new tools can reduce the time and cost of the drug discovery process and accelerate the development of more effective and better-targeted therapeutic agents.

Development of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS)-modified bone marrow mononuclear cell membrane chromatography for screening anti-osteoporosis components from Scutellariae Radix. Acta Pharm Sin B 2020; 10:1856-1865. [PMID: 33163340 PMCID: PMC7606177 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2020.01.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2019] [Revised: 12/13/2019] [Accepted: 12/16/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a bone metabolic disease caused by the imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts due to excess osteoclastogenesis, manifesting in the decrease of bone density and bone strength. Scutellariae Radix shows good anti-osteoporosis activity, but the effective component is still unclear. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is a biological affinity chromatography with membrane immobilized on a silica carrier as the stationary phase. It can realize a dynamical simulation of interactions between drugs and receptors on cell membrane, which is suitable for screening active compounds from complex systems. In this study, the components of Scutellariae Radix with potential anti-osteoporosis activity through inhibiting the differentiation from bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) to osteoclast were screened by a BMMC/CMC analytical system. Firstly, a new 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS)-modified BMMC/CMC stationary phase was developed to realize covalent binding with cell membrane fractions. By investigating the retention time (tR) of the positive drug, the life span of the MPTS-modified CMC columns was significantly improved from 3 to 12 days. Secondly, 6 components of Scutellariae Radix were screened to show affinity to membrane receptors on BMMCs by a two-dimensional BMMC/CMC–TOFMS analytical system. Among them, tectochrysin demonstrated the best anti-osteoporosis effect in vitro, which has never been reported. We found that tectochrysin could inhibit the differentiation of BMMCs into osteoclasts induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κΒ ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in a concentration-dependent manner in vitro. In vivo, it significantly reduced the loss of bone trabeculae in ovariectomized mice, and decreased the level of C-terminal cross-linking telopeptides of type 1 collagen (CTX-1), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP-5b), interleukin 6 (IL-6) in serum. In conclusion, tectochrysin serves as a potential candidate in the treatment of osteoporosis. The proposed two-dimensional MPTS-modified BMMC/CMC-TOFMS analytical system shows the advantages of long-life span and fast recognition ability, which is very suitable for infrequent cell lines.

Abstract
Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) has been widely used for characterizing the interaction between drugs and membrane receptors to screen target components from herbal medicines. However, the column life, stability, and the efficiency cannot meet the needs of high-throughput screening purpose. In this study, a P-glycoprotein immobilized cell membrane stationary phase (P-gp/CMSP) was prepared with a simple and mild two-step aldehyde modification, realizing the covalent bonding between cell membrane and stationary phase. The column life and stability were significantly enhanced compared with the unmodified columns. The P-gp/CMC column was equipped into a comprehensive 2D P-gp/CMC/Capcell-C18/TOFMS system, which actualizes the automated and high-throughput analytical process and rapid identification of complex chemical samples with no data loss. Five compounds with significant retention were screened out and unambiguously identified by the comprehensive 2D analytical system. Baicalin was confirmed as a P-gp inhibitor with ATP depletion inhibition ratio of 83.4%. Moreover, the reversal index of baicalin on DOX significantly increased to 11.13 when its concentration reached 25 μM, revealing that baicalin could effectively reverse the MDR cell model induced by DOX. The integrated system is a practical drug discovery platform and could be applied to other transmembrane protein models.

Abstract
Psoralea corylifolia (P corylifolia) has been popularly applied in traditional Chinese medicine decoction for treating osteoporosis and promoting fracture healing since centuries ago. However, the bioactive natural components remain unknown. In this study, applying comprehensive two-dimensional cell membrane chromatographic/C18 column/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (2D CMC/C18 column/TOFMS) system, neobavaisoflavone (NBIF), for the first time, was identified for the bioaffinity with RAW 264.7 cells membranes from the extracts of P corylifolia. Here, we revealed that NBIF inhibited RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis in bone marrow monocytes (BMMCs) and RAW264.7 cells dose dependently at the early stage. Moreover, NBIF inhibited osteoclasts function demonstrated by actin ring formation assay and pit-formation assay. With regard to the underlying molecular mechanism, co-immunoprecipitation showed that both the interactions of RANK with TRAF6 and with c-Src were disrupted. In addition, NBIF inhibited the phosphorylation of P50, P65, IκB in NF-κB pathway, ERK, JNK, P38 in MAPKs pathway, AKT in Akt pathway, accompanied with a blockade of calcium oscillation and inactivation of nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1). In vivo, NBIF inhibited osteoclastogenesis, promoted osteogenesis and ameliorated bone loss in ovariectomized mice. In summary, P corylifolia-derived NBIF inhibited RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis by suppressing the recruitment of TRAF6 and c-Src to RANK, inactivating NF-κB, MAPKs, and Akt signalling pathways and inhibiting calcium oscillation and NFATc1 translocation. NBIF might serve as a promising candidate for the treatment of osteoclast-associated osteopenic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify the bioactive ingredients of Huangqin-Baishao herb pair and to reveal its anti-cancer mechanisms through a pharmacology approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS Detailed information on compounds in the HQ-BS herb pair was obtained from the Traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology (TCMSP) and screened by the criteria of OB ≥30% and DL ≥0.18. A systematic drug targeting model (SysDT) was used for compound targets prediction, and then the targets were analyzed for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of HQ-BS targets was constructed, after identifying core networks through Cytoscape plugins. RESULTS We found 47 bioactive compounds of HQ-BS and 107 human-derived targets. A compound target network and a target signal pathway network were constructed and used for topological analysis. Kaempferol, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, wogonin, and oroxylin-a were identified as core compounds and pathways in cancer. The calcium signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, chemical carcinogenesis, estrogen signaling pathway, proteoglycans in cancer, HIF-1 signaling pathway, thyroid hormone signaling pathway, VEGF signaling pathway, small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, and T cell receptor signaling pathway were found to be potential signals of HQ-BS in treating cancer. Through PPI network analysis, TNF signaling pathway, tryptophan metabolism, proteoglycans in cancer, cell cycle, and chemical carcinogenesis sub-networks were obtained. CONCLUSIONS HQ-BS contains various bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, phytosterols, and other compounds, and these compounds can inhibit or activate multiple targets and pathways against cancer.

Abstract
Angelica sinensis (AS; Dang Gui), a traditional Chinese herb, has for centuries been used for the treatment of bone diseases, including osteoporosis and osteonecrosis. However, the effective ingredient and underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we identified guaiacol as the active component of AS by two‐dimensional cell membrane chromatography/C18 column/time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (2D CMC/C18 column/TOFMS). Guaiacol suppressed osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast function in bone marrow monocytes (BMMCs) and RAW264.7 cells in vitro in a dose‐dependent manner. Co‐immunoprecipitation indicated that guaiacol blocked RANK‐TRAF6 association and RANK‐C‐Src association. Moreover, guaiacol prevented phosphorylation of p65, p50, IκB (NF‐κB pathway), ERK, JNK, c‐fos, p38 (MAPK pathway) and Akt (AKT pathway), and reduced the expression levels of Cathepsin K, CTR, MMP‐9 and TRAP. Guaiacol also suppressed the expression of nuclear factor of activated T‐cells cytoplasmic 1(NFATc1) and the RANKL‐induced Ca2+ oscillation. In vivo, it ameliorated ovariectomy‐induced bone loss by suppressing excessive osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, our findings suggest that guaiacol inhibits RANKL‐induced osteoclastogenesis by blocking the interactions of RANK with TRAF6 and C‐Src, and by suppressing the NF‐κB, MAPK and AKT signalling pathways. Therefore, this compound shows therapeutic potential for osteoclastogenesis‐related bone diseases, including postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Ligand-target interactions play a central role in drug discovery processes because these interactions are crucial in biological systems. Small molecules-proteins interactions can regulate and modulate protein function and activity through conformational changes. Therefore, bioanalytical tools to screen new ligands have focused mainly on probing ligand-target interactions. These interactions have been evaluated by using solid-supported proteins, which provide advantages like increased protein stability and easier protein extraction from the reaction medium, which enables protein reuse. In some specific approaches, precisely in the ligand fishing assay, the bioanalytical method allows the ligands to be directly isolated from complex mixtures, including combinatorial libraries and natural products extracts without prior purification or fractionation steps. Most of these screening assays are based on liquid chromatography separation, and the binding events can be monitored through on-line or off-line methods. In the on-line approaches, solid supports containing the immobilized biological target are used as chromatographic columns most of the time. Several terms have been used to refer to such approaches, such as weak affinity chromatography, high-performance affinity chromatography, on-flow activity assays, and high-performance liquid affinity chromatography. On the other hand, in the off-line approaches, the binding event occurs outside the liquid chromatography system and may encompass affinity and activity-based assays in which the biological target is immobilized on magnetic particles or monolithic silica, among others. After the incubation step, the supernatant or the eluate from the binding assay is analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to various detectors. Regardless of the selected bioanalytical approach, the use of solid supported proteins has significantly contributed to the development of automated and reliable screening methods that enable ligands to be isolated and characterized in complex matrixes without purification, thereby reducing costs and avoiding time-laborious steps. This review provides a critical overview of recently developed assays.

Natural products (NPs) have a long history of clinical use and are rich source of bioactive compounds. The development of tools and techniques for identifying and analyzing NP bioactive compounds to ensure their quality and discover new drugs is thus very important and still in demand. Screening techniques have proven highly useful for screening and analyzing active components in complex mixtures, which rely on cell culture, dialysis, ultrafiltration, chromatographic methods and target molecule immobilization, using biological targets to identify the active compounds. The recent progress in biological screening techniques in the field of natural products is reviewed here. This includes a review on the strategy and application of the screening methods, their detailed description and discussion of their existing limitations of the different models along with prospective in future development of screening techniques.

Abstract
Screening active components from Chinese traditional medicine is an effective approach to discover new drugs or active structures. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC), developed rapidly because of its high sensitivity and effectiveness, has achieved a wide application in screening active components on pathological cells or tissues. However, it is hard to clarify the selectivity between pathological and normal tissues through simply using pathological cells. In this study, a novel comparative two-dimensional (2D) cell membrane chromatography system was established. Briefly, hepatic carcinoma HepG2 CMC columns and normal hepatic L02 CMC columns were simultaneously loaded to screen potential selective antitumor components from Scutellariae Radix by comparing the retention behaviors on two kinds of cells. Totally 13 components in Scutellariae Radix retained on both HepG2/ CMC and L02/ CMC columns. Among them, three components, oroxylin A, wogonin and chrysin, were screened out to perform stronger affinity on HepG2 columns, and in further cell proliferation assay, IC50 of these three compounds of HepG2 cells were 9.66 μM, 66.77 μM and 36.26 μM respectively, while of L02 cells, IC50 of chrysin was 59.10 μM and over 200 μM of the other two components. On the whole, the toxity of these three compounds to hepatoma cells was stronger than to normal cells. It can be supposed that oroxylin A, wogonin, and chrysin own the potential to be developed as selective anti-hepatoma active components, which expects further research to validate.

Abstract
Radix Sophorae flavescentis is generally used for the treatment of different stages of prostate cancer in China. It has ideal effects when combined with surgical treatment and chemotherapy. However, its active components are still ambiguous. We devised a comprehensive two-dimensional PC-3 prostate cancer cell membrane chromatography system for screening anti-prostate cancer components in Radix Sophorae flavescentis. Gefitinib and dexamethasone were chosen as positive and negative drugs respectively for validation and optimization the selectivity and suitability of the comprehensive two-dimensional chromatographic system. Five compounds, sophocarpine, matrine, oxymatrine, oxysophocarpine, and xanthohumol were found to have significant retention behaviors on the PC-3 cell membrane chromatography and were unambiguously identified by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Cell proliferation and apoptosis assays confirmed that all five compounds had anti-prostate cancer effects. Matrine and xanthohumol had good inhibitory effects, with half maximal inhibitory concentration values of 0.893 and 0.137 mg/mL, respectively. Our comprehensive two-dimensional PC-3 prostate cancer cell membrane chromatographic system promotes the efficient recognition and rapid analysis of drug candidates, and it will be practical for the discovery of prostate cancer drugs from complex traditional Chinese medicines.

Abstract
Rhizoma corydalis and Radix Angelicae Dahurica (Yuanhu–Baizhi) herbal medicine pair has been used for thousands of years and has been reported to be potentially active in recent cancer therapy. But the exact active components or fractions remain unclear. In this study, a new comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-decorated MCF7-cell membrane chromatography (CMC)/capcell-C18 column/time-of-flight mass spectrometry system was established for screening potential active components and clarifying the active fraction of Yuanhu–Baizhi pair. APTES was modified on the surface of silica, which can provide an amino group to covalently link cell membrane fragments with the help of glutaraldehyde in order to improve the stability and column life span of the MCF7 CMC column. The comprehensive 2D MCF7-CMC system showed good separation and identification abilities. Our screen results showed that the retention components are mainly from the alkaloids in Yuanhu (12 compounds) and the coumarins (10 compounds) in Baizhi, revealing the active fractions of Yuanhu–Baizhi herbal medicine pair. Oxoglaucine, protopine, berberine, osthole, isopimpinellin and palmitic acid were selected as typical components to test the effects on cell proliferation and their IC50 were calculated as 38.17 μM, 29.45 μM, 45.42 μM, 132.7 μM, 156.8 μM and 90.5 μM respectively. Cell apoptosis assay showed that the drug efficacy was obtained mainly through inducing cell apoptosis. Furthermore, a synergistic assay results demonstrated that oxoglaucine (representative of alkaloids from Yuanhu) and isopimpinellin (representative of coumarins from Baizhi) showed significant synergistic efficacy with GFT, indicating that these components may act on other membrane receptors. The proposed 2D CMC system could also be equipped with other cells for further applications. Besides, the follow-up in-vitro experimental strategy using cell proliferation assay, cell apoptosis assay and synergistic assay proved to be a practical way to confirm the active fractions of herbal medicine.
