Abstract
Honokiol (HK) is a traditional Chinese herbal bioactive compound that originates mainly from the Magnolia species, traditionally used to treat anxiety and stroke, as well as alleviation of flu symptoms. This natural product and its derivatives displayed diverse biological activities, including anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antimicrobial activities. However, its poor bioavailability and pharmacological activity require primary consideration in the development of HK-based drugs. Recent innovative HK formulations based on the nanotechnology approach allowed for improvement in both bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Chemical derivation and drug combination are also effective strategies to ameliorate the drawbacks of HK. In recent years, studies on HK derivatives and compositions have made great progress in the treatment of cancer, inflammation, bacterial infection, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular diseases, demonstrating better activity than HK. The objective of this review is an examination of the recent developments in the field of pharmacological activity of HK and its drug-related issues, and approaches to improve its physicochemical and biological properties, including solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Recent patents and the ongoing clinical trials in HK are also summarized.

Identification of the target protein and molecular mechanism of honokiol in anti-inflammatory action. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 109:154617. [PMID: 36610140 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154617] [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: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Searching the targets of natural products is very important for drug discovery and elucidating the mechanism of drug action and disease. Honokiol (HK), as the major active component of Magnolia officinalis Rehder & E.H.Wilson, has been widely used in medicine and cosmetics. Among its bioactivities, its anti-inflammatory activity is particularly impressive. However, the target protein of HK in anti-inflammatory action and its regulatory mechanism are unclear. PURPOSE Here, we identified the target protein and molecular mechanism of the anti- inflammatory action of HK. METHODS First, an LPS-induced septic shock model and DSS-induced ulcerative colitis model were used to assess the anti-inflammatory efficacy of HK. Second, the drug affinity responsive target stability, proteomics analysis, thermal shift assays and cellular thermal shift assays were used to identify and validate the target of HK. Finally, western blot, ELISA, LDH immunofluorescence staining, shRNA and LC/MS for L-leucine analysis were performed to determine the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory action of HK. RESULTS This study revealed that HK significantly alleviated LPS-induced septic shock and DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in vivo, suggesting that HK has significant anti-inflammatory activity. HK treatment dramatically reduced IL-1β release and caspase-1 activation at different time points, showing that HK could inhibit both NLRP3 inflammasome priming and activation processes in cells. HK also suppressed adaptor apoptosis speck-like protein oligomerization. Mechanistically, SLC3A2 was identified as a direct target of HK in THP-1 cells. HK downregulated SLC3A2 expression by promoting its degradation via proteasome-mediated proteolysis. Further study demonstrated that HK triggered SLC3A2 to suppress NLRP3 inflammasome activation by significantly reducing the content of L-leucine transported into cells and lysosomes to block the mTORC1 pathway. CONCLUSIONS Our work identified HK as a promising anti-inflammatory drug candidate through the SLC3A2/L-leucine/mTORC1/NLRP3 pathways.

Recent Progresses in Analytical Perspectives of Degradation Studies and Impurity Profiling in Pharmaceutical Developments: An Updated Review. Crit Rev Anal Chem 2022; 53:1094-1115.

Abstract
Forced degradation studies have been used to simplify analytical methodology development and achieve a deeper knowledge about the inherent stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and drug products. This provides insight into degradation species and pathways. Identification of impurities in pharmaceutical products is closely related to the selection of the most appropriate analytical methods like HPLC-UV, LC-MS/MS, LC-NMR, GC-MS, and capillary electrophoresis. Herein, recent trends in analytical perspectives during 2018-April 14, 2021, are discussed based on forced and impurity degradation profiling of pharmaceuticals. Literature review showed that several methods have been used for experimental design and analysis conditions such as matrix type, column type, mobile phase, elution modes, detection wavelengths, and therapeutic category. Thus, since these factors influence the separation and identification of the impurities and degradation products, we attempted to perform a statistical analysis for the developed methods according to the abovementioned factors.

Vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-phase microextraction for the analysis of main active compounds from Zi-Cao-Cheng-Qi decoction based on a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent. J Sep Sci 2021; 44:4376-4383. [PMID: 34693642 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202100270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Revised: 10/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a vortex-assisted hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent dispersive liquid-phase microextraction was developed and used for the extraction and preconcentration of six main active compounds in Zi-Cao-Cheng-Qi decoction. The deep eutectic solvent, prepared by mixing tetrabutylammonium chloride and hexanoic acid at a molar ratio of 1:1, was added to the sample solution containing the analytes. In the absence of disperser, the extractant was rapidly dispersed into fine droplets by the aid of vortex and adequately contacted with the analytes. Some key parameters affecting the approach including extraction solvent type and volume, sample phase pH, extraction time, centrifugation time, and salt concentration were investigated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, enrichment factors of the target analytes were in the range of 3-330. The calibration graphs were linear with a correlation coefficient (r) ≥ 0.9929. The detection limits were 0.3-0.9 ng/mL, and the satisfactory precisions (relative standard deviations, 0.5-8.9%) and accuracies (relative recoveries, 91.1-102.2%) were also obtained. The developed method was rapid (only 2 min), eco-friendly, effective, and easy to operate. And it has been successfully applied to simultaneous extraction, enrichment, and determination of the main active compounds in a traditional Chinese medicinal formula coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography.
