Lai J, Li C. Review on the pharmacological effects and pharmacokinetics of scutellarein. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2024:e2400053. [PMID: 38849327 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202400053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
Scutellarein is a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi that has been shown to have a variety of pharmacological activities. This review aims to summarize the pharmacological and pharmacokinetic studies on scutellarein and provide useful information for relevant scholars. Pharmacological studies indicate that scutellarein possesses a diverse range of pharmacological properties, including but not limited to anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, neuroprotective, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anticancer, and cardiovascular protective effects. Further investigation reveals that the pharmacological effects of scutellarein are driven by multiple mechanisms. These mechanisms encompass the scavenging of free radicals, inhibition of the activation of inflammatory signaling pathways and expression of inflammatory mediators, inhibition of the activity of crucial viral proteins, suppression of gluconeogenesis, amelioration of insulin resistance, improvement of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, induction of apoptosis in cancer cells, and prevention of myocardial hypertrophy, among others. In summary, these pharmacological studies suggest that scutellarein holds promise for the treatment of various diseases. It is imperative to conduct clinical studies to further elucidate the therapeutic effects of scutellarein. However, it is worth noting that studies on the pharmacokinetics reveal an inhibitory effect of scutellarein on uridine 5'-diphosphate glucuronide transferases and cytochrome P450 enzymes, potentially posing safety risks.

Abstract
In parallel with a steady rise in cancer incidence worldwide, the scientific community is increasingly focused on finding novel, safer and more efficient modalities for managing this disease. Over the past decades, natural products have been described as a significant source of new structural leads for novel drug candidates. Scutellaria root is one of the most studied natural products because of its anticancer potential. Besides just describing the cytotoxic properties of plant constituents, their molecular mechanisms of action in different cancer types are equally important. Therefore, this review article focuses on the role of the Scutellaria flavones wogonin, baicalein, baicalin, scutellarein and scutellarin in regulating the autophagic machinery in diverse cancer models, highlighting these molecules as potential lead compounds for the fight against malignant neoplasms. The knowledge that autophagy can function as a dual-edged sword, acting in both a pro- and antitumorigenic manner, further complicates the issue, revealing an amazing property of flavonoids that behave either as anti- or proautophagic agents.

NANOMEDICINE : NANOTECHNOLOGY, BIOLOGY, AND MEDICINE 2022; 45:102594. [PMID: 35934306 DOI: 10.1016/j.nano.2022.102594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a polypeptide sequence useful in regulating physiological functions like homeostasis, feeding, etc., but its usage is restricted due to its short half-life. β-cyclodextrin-crosslinked nanosponges improve the drug release and stability due to its wide cavity, which is helpful to deliver therapeutics. The present work aimed to formulate synthetic NPY-based nanocarriers as sponges by polymer condensation mechanism using design experiment to improve the peptide release and stability. The validated nanosponges exhibited a particle size of 423.42 ± 5.32 nm, 75.82 ± 7.43 % entrapment efficiency and 83.50 ± 6.54 % NPY release for 24 h. The NPY and β-cyclodextrin interaction was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The NPY-loaded nanosponges were found stable for 6 months at two conditions (5 ± 2 °C and 25 ± 2 °C). The cross-linked nanocarriers of synthetic peptide-based nanosponges powder at different doses were administered intranasally using a metered-dose inhaler in the animal model to check its antiepileptic activity. The synthetic NPY-loaded nanosponges at higher doses showed significant antiepileptic effects equivalent to the standard drug (administered orally) in maximal electroshock and chemically-induced seizures with an increase of NPY in the brain directly proportional to GABAergic signalling by increase in GABA levels resulting in convulsions attenuation.

Aurisin A Complexed with 2,6-Di- O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin Enhances Aqueous Solubility, Thermal Stability, and Antiproliferative Activity against Lung Cancer Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23179776. [PMID: 36077178 PMCID: PMC9456185 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23179776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Aurisin A (AA), an aristolane dimer sesquiterpene isolated from the luminescent mushroom Neonothopanus nambi, exhibits various biological and pharmacological effects. However, its poor solubility limits its use for further medicinal applications. This study aimed to improve the water solubility of AA via complexation with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and its derivatives (2,6-di-O-methyl-βCD (DMβCD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-βCD (HPβCD). A phase solubility analysis demonstrated that the solubility of AA linearly enhanced with increasing concentrations of βCDs (ranked in the order of AA/DMβCD > AA/HPβCD > AA/βCD). Notably, βCDs, especially DMβCD, increased the thermal stability of the inclusion complexes. The thermodynamic study indicated that the complexation between AA and βCD(s) was a spontaneous endothermic reaction, and AA/DMβCD possesses the highest binding strength. The complex formation between AA and DMβCD was confirmed by means of FT-IR, DSC, and SEM. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the stability and compactness of the AA/DMβCD complex were higher than those of the DMβCD alone. The encapsulation of AA led to increased intramolecular H-bond formations on the wider rim of DMβCD, enhancing the complex stability. The antiproliferative activity of AA against A549 and H1975 lung cancer cells was significantly improved by complexation with DMβCD. Altogether, the satisfactory water solubility, high thermal stability, and enhanced antitumor potential of the AA/DMβCD inclusion complex would be useful for its application as healthcare products or herbal medicines.

Abstract
Bupivacaine hydrochloride (BVC) represents an option to produce long-lasting analgesia, and complexation in cyclodextrins has shown improvements in biopharmaceutical properties. This study aimed to characterize and test the cytotoxicity and antinociceptive effects of BVC complexed in sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBEβCD). The kinetics and stoichiometry of complexation and BVC-SBEβCD association constant were evaluated by phase solubility study and Job's plot. Evidence of the BVC-SBEβCD complex formation was obtained from scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The cytotoxicity was evaluated in keratinocyte (HaCaT) and neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y). Antinociceptive effects were registered via orofacial pain models: the formalin test, carrageenan-induced hyperalgesia, and postoperative pain (intraoral incision). The complex formation occurred at a 1:1 BVC-SBEβCD molar ratio, with a low association constant (13.2 M-1). SEM, DSC, and FTIR results demonstrated the host-guest interaction. The IC50% values determined in SH-SY5Y were 216 µM and 149 µM for BVC and BVC-SBEβCD, respectively (p < 0.05). There was no difference in HaCaT IC50%. In orofacial pain model, BVC-SBEβCD significantly prolonged antinociceptive effect, in about 2 h, compared to plain BVC. SBEβCD can be used as a drug delivery system for bupivacaine, whereas the complex showed long-lasting analgesic effects.

Abstract
The β-diketo-modified isoxazole derivative of curcumin (IOC) is well renowned for its anticancer, antioxidant, antimalarial, antiproliferative, and many other biological activities. With the aim of obtaining fundamental knowledge on the photophysics of IOC, the present work was directed toward delineating those at different pH environments and studying the degradation profiles of IOC at five different pH values. Because one of the primary drawbacks of curcumin is its rapid degradation at physiological conditions, the studies showed that the problem could be resolved, as the IOC molecule was extremely stable even in a highly alkaline medium. Further, in order to encounter the problems associated with the low solubility of IOC in aqueous media, β-CD (β-cyclodextrin) was used and calculations of the thermodynamic parameters revealed that the process of development of the host-guest inclusion complex was highly spontaneous in nature. The synthesis of the IOC:β-CD inclusion complex has also been accomplished in the solid state, and the solid formed has been characterized using various physicochemical techniques. Finally, while variations in the pH as well as addition of foreign metal ions in +1 and +2 oxidation states showed minimal effect on the photophysics of the IOC:β-CD inclusion complex, antiproliferative studies performed with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays revealed their nontoxic nature on fibroblast L929 normal cell lines and extremely toxic activity on human lung cancer A549 cell lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects of lidocaine have been reported in tumor cells. However, the use of these drugs is restricted due to their short action with rapid dispersion from the injected site. The complexation of local anesthetics in 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) is able to improve pharmacological features. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the antitumor effects of lidocaine and the complex HP-β-CD-lidocaine (HP-β-CD-lido). METHODS In vitro;, human adenocarcinoma (HeLa) and keratinocytes (HaCaT) were exposed to lidocaine formulations and cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis induction were measured. In vivo;, Walker 256 carcinoma cells were subcutaneously injected into the plantar region of the rat right hind paw. The animals were treated with a local application of 5% lidocaine or 5% HP-β-CD-lido. Doxorubicin (3 mg/Kg/day, intraperitoneal) was used as a positive control. Edema sizes were measured daily and the release of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1α and CXCL-1) and prostaglandin E2 was evaluated. Histological analysis was also performed. RESULTS HaCaT IG50 values were 846 μM and 2253 μM for lido and HP-β-CD-lido, respectively. In HeLa cells, the IG50 was 1765 μM for lido and 2044 μM for HP-β-CD-lido. Lidocaine formulations significantly reduced the paw edema on day 6 after Walker 256 cells inoculation. However, there were no differences in the release of inflammatory mediators in comparison to the control group. CONCLUSION Lidocaine formulations were able to reduce the edema in vivo;, without affecting the tumor- induced inflammatory response. The antiproliferative effects of lidocaine formulations may have contributed to tumor reduction.

Abstract
A novel β-cyclodextrin pendant polymer (ε-PL-CD), composed of poly(ε-lysine) (ε-PL) main chain and glycine-β-cyclodextrin (Gly-CD) side chains, was prepared by a simple two-step procedure. The ε-PL-CD was investigated as a drug carrier of hydrophobic drug scutellarin (SCU). The characterization and complexation mode of the SCU:ε-PL-CD were researched in both solution and solid state by means of photoluminescence spectroscopy, 1H and 2D NMR, X-Ray powder diffraction (XRPD), thermal gravimetric analysis, Particle size and Zeta potential. The solubility test indicated that the solubilizing ability of SCU:ε-PL-CD was significantly improved compared with SCU:β-CD and free SCU. Besides, in vitro cell experiment, it was found that SCU:ε-PL-CD has a strong inhibitory effect on the growth and invasion of tumor cells. The present study provides useful information for ε-PL-CD as a drug carrier material.

Abstract
The plant Scutellaria barbata (SB) is commonly used as herbal medicines for treating cancer. The present pre-clinical study aimed to validate the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (CP) recommended dosages of SB water extract (SBW) in treating colon tumors. The content of chemical marker scutellarin in SBW was quantified using UPLC. Mice bearing human HCT116 xenografts or murine colon26 tumors received oral administration of SBW or scutellarin for 4 weeks. Results showed that SBW (615 and 1,230 mg/kg) and scutellarin (7 mg/kg) treatments significantly reduced human xenograft weights by 28.7, 36.9 and 28.8%, respectively. Lung metastasis area could be ameliorated after SBW (615 mg/kg) and scutellarin (7 mg/kg) treatments by 23.4 and 29.5%, respectively. Expressions of colon cancer metastasis-related proteins E-cadherin, Tspan 8 and CXCR4, as well as Src kinase in tumors were first shown to be regulated by SBW. Furthermore, in murine colon26 tumor-bearing mice, SBW (615 mg/kg) and scutellarin (7 mg/kg) treatments reduced the orthotopic tumor burden by 94.7% and lung metastatic tumor burden by 94.1%, respectively. Our findings provided evidences that SBW (at the mouse equivalent dosages to clinical dosages recommended by CP) could exert anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects in colon cancer animal models.

Abstract
Styryllactones, a class of compounds obtained from the genus Goniothalamus (Annonaceae), have demonstrated in vitro antitumor activity. However, the aqueous solubility of these compounds is poor. In this study, we identified the absolute configurations of the previously isolated compounds, which were first isolated in our laboratory, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis using Cu Kα radiation. Subsequently, the antitumor activities of the compounds were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide staining in four tumor cell lines. The induced apoptosis activity of leiocarpin E-7'-Monoacetate was studied by an annexin V fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide double-staining experiment, and the caspase activity was tested in the SW1116 cell line. The results demonstrated that the antitumor activities of cheliensisin A and goniodiol-7-monoacetate were limited by their poor water solubility. To address this issue, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) complexes of the compounds were synthesized by the saturated aqueous method. The complexes were then analyzed using a differential scanning calorimeter. The IC50 of cheliensisin A was reduced by 45% and 58% against SW1116 and SMMC-7721 cell lines, respectively. Similarly, the IC50 of goniodiol-7-monoacetate was reduced by 55% and 34% against the two tumor cell lines, respectively. To further evaluate whether the styryllactones and complexes possessed selectivity against cancer cell lines and normal cell lines, toxicity against human normal cell line (HEK293T) was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the HP-β-CD complexes displayed more cytotoxicity than the respective pristine compounds against the HEK293T cell line. However, there existed a therapeutic window when the complexes were applied against cancer cell lines. In summary, the synthesis of several styryllactone compounds complexed with HP-β-CD was reported for the first time. These complexes could significantly enhance the cytotoxic effects of styryllactone compounds.

Abstract
Scutellarein has been identified to serve an anti-tumor function in human colon cancer, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. The present study further investigated the effect and mechanism of scutellarein, extracted from wild chrysanthemum, in the progression of colon cancer. MTT, clone formation, flow cytometry and tumor-bearing mice assays were used to detect cell viability, clone formation, apoptosis and tumorigenesis, respectively. Western blot and quantitative PCR assays were performed for protein and mRNA expression detection. The results revealed that, compared with the control group, scutellarein treatment significantly inhibited the viability and induced the apoptosis of colon cancer cells (P<0.05), with significant decreases in receptor for advanced glycosylation end products (RAGE) protein expression and stability and an increase in RAGE ubiquitination (P<0.05). However, the effects of scutellarein exerted in cell apoptosis and viability were rescued by RAGE overexpression, and accelerated by RAGE knockdown. Additionally, it was observed that scutellarein treatment induced a significant increase in the expression of cell division control protein 4 (CDC4) compared with the control group (P<0.05), which was then verified to interact with RAGE protein and mediate its ubiquitination. Overexpression of CDC4 inhibited colon cancer cell viability and promoted the apoptosis of SW480 and T84 cells, whereas this function was weakened when RAGE was overexpressed. Furthermore, CDC4 downregulation significantly neutralized scutellarein functions in promoting cell apoptosis and inhibiting cell viability and tumorigenesis in colon cancer cells compared with the scutellarein group (P<0.05). In conclusion, the present study revealed that scutellarein inhibited the development of colon cancer through upregulating CDC4-mediated RAGE ubiquitination.

Enhanced Solubility and Anticancer Potential of Mansonone G By β-Cyclodextrin-Based Host-Guest Complexation: A Computational and Experimental Study. Biomolecules 2019; 9:biom9100545. [PMID: 31569832 PMCID: PMC6843486 DOI: 10.3390/biom9100545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 09/26/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Mansonone G (MG), a plant-derived compound isolated from the heartwood of Mansonia gagei, possesses a potent antitumor effect on several kinds of malignancy. However, its poor solubility limits the use for practical applications. Beta-cyclodextrin (βCD), a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of seven (1→4)-linked α-D-glucopyranose units, is capable of encapsulating a variety of poorly soluble compounds into its hydrophobic interior. In this work, we aimed to enhance the water solubility and the anticancer activity of MG by complexation with βCD and its derivatives (2,6-di-O-methyl-βCD (DMβCD) and hydroxypropyl-βCD). The 90-ns molecular dynamics simulations and MM/GBSA-based binding free energy results suggested that DMβCD was the most preferential host molecule for MG inclusion complexation. The inclusion complex formation between MG and βCD(s) was confirmed by DSC and SEM techniques. Notably, the MG/βCDs inclusion complexes exerted significantly higher cytotoxic effect (~2–7 fold) on A549 lung cancer cells than the uncomplexed MG.

Abstract
A well-designed and synthesized water-soluble class of β-cyclodextrin supported palladium complex PdLn@Et-β-CD could efficiently validate high catalytic activity and act as a supramolecular platform for phosphine-free Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions between arylboronic acid/ arylboronic ester and aryl halides in water under mild conditions. The presented novel PdLn@Pr-β-CD complex catalyst was characterized by NMR, XRD, FT-IR, and DSC analysis. Furthermore, the role of the PdLn@Et-β-CD fragment in the reaction mechanism studied by molecular complexation was proposed based on FT-IR, 2D NMR (ROESY) spectroscopy, FE-SEM, and DSC spectroscopic analysis. The important benefits of this technique comprise simple phosphine-free preparation of the palladium catalyst, a wide range of functional-group tolerance, and easy recyclability; this method, furthermore, eschews hazardous reagents or solvents.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins, one of safe excipients, are able to form host-guest complexes with fitted molecules given the unique nature imparted by their structure in result of a number of pharmaceutical applications. On the other hand, targeted or responsive materials are appealing therapeutic platforms for the development of next-generation precision medications. Meanwhile, cyclodextrin-based polymers or assemblies can condense DNA and RNA in result to be used as genetic therapeutic agents. Armed with a better understanding of various pharmaceutical mechanisms, especially for cancer treatment, researchers have made lots of works about cyclodextrin-based drug delivery systems in materials chemistry and pharmaceutical science. This Review highlights recent advances in cyclodextrin-based delivery systems for cancer treatment capable of targeting or responding to the physiological environment. Key design principles, challenges and future directions, including clinical translation, of cyclodextrin-based delivery systems are also discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant disease that affects the oral cavity. Lidocaine has shown antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity on several cell types. The rapid dispersion is a limitation issue; however, the complexation in cyclodextrin improved pharmacological features and modified the drug release. This study investigated the effects of lidocaine (lido) complexed with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD-lido) on cell viability and proliferation of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma SCC9 and SCC25. METHODS The complex formation was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cells SCC9 and SCC25 were exposed to lido and HP-β-CD-lido (40-4000 μm), and the effects on cell viability (MTT) and antiproliferative activity (SRB) were tested. KEY FINDINGS Differential scanning calorimetry and SEM results demonstrated the occurrence of host-guest interaction. Lido and HP-β-CD-lido (4000 μm) significantly reduced the viability of SCC9 cells to 83% and 63%, respectively. The viability of SCC25 treated with lido, and HP-β-CD-lido (4000 μm) was 71% and 44%, respectively. Lido (4000 μm) reduced the proliferation of SCC9 and SCC25 to 39.5% and 23.7%, respectively. HP-β-CD-lido (4000 μm) was cytotoxic for both cell lines. CONCLUSIONS HP-β-CD was able to potentiate the in vitro cytotoxic effects of lidocaine on human squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
This article describes the preparation of a series of inclusion complexes of anhydrolycorine with three cyclodextrins (CDs), namely β-CD, γ-CD, and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), and their successful characterization through UV, TG, DSC, XRD, SEM, 1H NMR, and 2D NMR spectroscopies. The results demonstrated that the water solubility of anhydrolycorine increased notably by about 23–42 times after the inclusion complexation with these CDs. Furthermore, preliminary in vitro cytotoxicity experiments on human colon cancer cell lines HT-29, SW480, HCT116, and DLD-1 were also performed, and the complexes showed remarkable anticancer activity against HT-29, SW480, and HCT116. These results suggested that the inclusion complexes would be potentially useful for applications for human colon cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Oleanolic acid (OA) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid acid of natural abundance in plants which possesses important biological activities. However, its medicinal applications were severely impeded by the poor water solubility and resultant low bioavailability and potency. In this work, studies on solid inclusion complexes of OA with a series of amino-appended β-cyclodextrins (ACDs) were conducted in order to address this issue. These complexes were prepared by suspension method and were well characterized by NMR, SEM, XRD, TG, DSC and Zeta potential measurement. The 2:1 inclusion mode of ACDs/OA complexes was elucidated by elaborate 2D NMR (ROESY). Besides, water solubility of OA was dramatically promoted by inclusion complexation with ACDs. Moreover, in vitro anticancer activities of OA against human cancer cell lines HepG2, HT29 and HCT116 were significantly enhanced after formation of inclusion complexes, while the apoptotic response results indicated their induction of apoptosis of cancer cells. This could provide a novel approach to development of novel pharmaceutical formulations of OA.
