Abstract
In traditional medicine, many medicinal plants are used in the treatment of various diseases caused by inflammation. The objective of the present study is to elucidate for the first time the effects of Cotinus coggygria (CC) ethanol extract (CCE) on colonic structure and inflammation of acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rats. Colonic damage was assessed using disease activity index score, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Also, in vitro antioxidant activity of CCE was investigated by ABTS methods. Total phytochemical content of CCE was measured spectroscopically. Acetic acid caused colonic damage according to disease activity index and macroscopic scoring. CCE significantly reversed these damages. While the levels of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and TGF-1beta increased in tissue with UC, IL-10 level decreased. CCE increased inflammatory cytokine levels to values close to the sham group. At the same time, while markers indicating disease severity such as VEGF, COX-2, PGE2, and 8-OHdG indicated the disease in the colitis group, these values returned to normal with CCE. Histological research results support biochemical analysis. CCE exhibited significant antioxidant against ABTS radical. Also, CCE was found to have a high content of total polyphenolic compounds. These findings provide evidence that CCE might be benefit as a promising novel therapy in the treatment of UC in humans due to high polyphenol content and justify the use of CC in folkloric medicine for treatment of inflamed diseases.

PHARMACEUTICAL BIOLOGY 2021; 59:683-695. [PMID: 34110957 PMCID: PMC8204966 DOI: 10.1080/13880209.2021.1928240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Jian Pi Qing Chang Hua Shi decoction (JPQCHSD) has been considered as an effective remedy for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Chinese traditional medicine. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the efficacy of JPQCHSD on 2-4-6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced IBD rats and the responsible mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Except the rats of the control group (50% ethanol), Sprague-Dawley rats (180 ± 20 g) induced by TNBS (150 mg/kg in 50% ethanol), received water extract of JPQCHSD daily at 0, 9.5, 19, or 38 g/kg for 12 days. The rats were sacrificed, and their colons were removed to evaluate the disease activity index. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), myeloperoxidase (MPO), immunoglobulin A (IgA), tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and nuclear factor-κB were evaluated. RESULTS JPQCHSD extract significantly reduced the disease activity index of TNBS-induced colitis with a median effective dose (ED50) of 26.93 g/kg. MPO and MDA were significantly reduced in the 19 and 38 g/kg groups (ED50 values 37.38 and 53.2 g/kg, respectively). The ED50 values for the increased SOD and IgA were 48.98 and 56.3 g/kg. ED50 values for inhibition of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were 32.66, 75.72, and 162.06 g/kg, respectively. DISCUSSION JPQCHSD promoted mucosal healing in IBD rats via its anti-inflammation, immune regulation, and antioxidation properties. CONCLUSIONS JPQCHSD has healing function on IBD. Further clinical trials are needed to demonstrate its efficacy and tolerance to IBD.

Latex proteins from Plumeria pudica reduce ligature-induced periodontitis in rats. Oral Dis 2021; 28:786-795.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that latex proteins from Plumeria pudica (LPPp) have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects in rats of LPPp on ligature-induced periodontitis, an inflammatory disease. METHODS The animals were divided into groups: saline (animals without induction of periodontitis), periodontitis (induced periodontitis and untreated) and LPPp (induced periodontitis and treated with 40 mg/kg). The following parameters were evaluated after 20 consecutive days of treatment: gingival bleeding index (GBI), probing pocket depth (PPD), alveolar bone height (ABH) and gingival myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. In the hepatic tissue, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and histopathological alterations were evaluated. Blood levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured. RESULTS Significant reduction in GBI, PPD and gingival MPO activity and ABH was seen in animals treated with LPPp compared with periodontitis. Values of GSH, MDA, ALT and histopathological evaluation were preserved in animals treated with LPPp. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with LPPp improved clinical aspects of periodontitis, reduced the blood and hepatic alterations and prevented alveolar bone loss. Data suggest that LPPp have potential for treatment of periodontitis.

Latex Proteins from Plumeria pudica with Therapeutic Potential on Acetaminophen-Induced Liver Injury. Mini Rev Med Chem 2020; 20:2011-2018. [DOI: 10.2174/1389557520666200821121903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2020] [Revised: 05/29/2020] [Accepted: 06/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Liver disease is global health problem. Paracetamol (APAP) is used as an analgesic drug
and is considered safe at therapeutic doses, but at higher doses, it causes acute liver injury. N-acetyl-p-
Benzoquinone Imine (NAPQI) is a reactive toxic metabolite produced by biotransformation of APAP.
NAPQI damages the liver by oxidative stress and the formation of protein adducts. The glutathione
precursor N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is the only approved antidote against APAP hepatotoxicity, but it
has limited hepatoprotective effects. The search for new drugs and novel therapeutic intervention strategies
increasingly includes testing plant extracts and other natural products. Plumeria pudica (Jacq.,
1760) is a plant that produces latex containing molecules with therapeutic potential. Proteins obtained
from this latex (LPPp), a well-defined mixture of chitinases, proteinases proteinase inhibitors have
shown anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antidiarrheal effects as well as a protective effect against
ulcerative colitis. These studies have demonstrated that LPPp acts on parameters such as Glutathione
(GSH) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity, Myeloperoxidase
(MPO) activity, and TNF- α IL1-β levels. Since oxidative stress and inflammation have been
reported to affect the initiation and progression of liver injury caused by APAP, it is suggested that
LPPp can act on aspects related to paracetamol hepatoxicity. This article brings new insights into the
potential of the laticifer proteins extracted from the latex of P. pudica and opens new perspectives for
the treatment of this type of liver disease with LPPp.
