Herb-drug interaction in the protective effect of Alpinia officinarum against gastric injury induced by indomethacin based on pharmacokinetic, tissue distribution and excretion studies in rats. J Pharm Anal 2020; 11:200-209. [PMID: 34012696 PMCID: PMC8116206 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2020.05.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2019] [Revised: 05/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Alpinia officinarum Hance of the Chinese traditional herb for the treatment of emesis, abdominal pain and diarrhea has been used to counteract gastric disease induced by indomethacin in rats without obvious side effects. However, the role of herb-drug interaction between indomethacin and A. officinarum based on pharmacokinetic, tissue distribution and excretion still remains unknown. In this study, an ultra-fast liquid-tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS/MS) method was developed for simultaneous determination of indomethacin and its three metabolites, O-desmethylindomethacin (ODI), deschlorobenzoylindomethacin (NDI) and indomethacin acyl-β-D-glucuronide (IDAβG) by oral administration of indomethacin solution with and without the ethanolic extract of A. officinarum and applied to comparative pharmacokinetic, tissue distribution and excretion studies. Our results clarified that oral administration of A. officinarum produced significant alterations in the pharmacokinetic parameters of indomethacin. And the pharmacokinetic interaction between indomethacin and A. officinarum reduced the systemic exposure of indomethacin and increased its elimination. Tissue distribution results demonstrated that co-administration of A. Officinarum could not reduce the accumulation of indomethacin in the target tissue of the stomach, but could accelerate the excretions of indomethacin and its three metabolites including ODI, NDI and IDAβG in the bile and feces of rats in the excretion study. Therefore, A. Officinarum might have a gastrointestinal protective effect through the interaction role with indomethacin based on the pharmacokinetics and excretion in rats.

Abstract
CONTEXT Alpinia officinarum Hance (Zingiberoside) has a long history in treating gastrointestinal diseases, but its mechanisms of action are not yet known. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of the ethanol extract of A. officinarum rhizomes in an indomethacin-induced gastric injury rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Indomethacin (0.3 g/kg) was orally administered to Sprague-Dawley rats to induce gastric damage; after 7 h, the rats were treated with 0.03, 0.09, or 0.18 g/kg of the plant extract, galangin (0.2 g/kg), or bismuth potassium citrate (0.08 g/kg), once a day for 6 days. Rats in the control group received an equivalent volume of vehicle solution for 6 days. Gastric damage was evaluated by gross ulcer and histological indexes. Cyclooxygenase and non-cyclooxygenase pathway proteins were quantified by western blotting and ELISA. RESULTS Alpinia officinarum extract ameliorated gastric injury in a dose-dependent manner, and 0.18 g/kg dose exhibited the best performance by reducing the gross ulcer (from 20.23 ± 1.38 to 1.66 ± 0.37) and histological (from 4.67 ± 1.03 to 0.33 ± 0.51) indexes, decreasing serum TNF-α level (14.17%), increasing serum VEGF level (1.58 times), increasing cyclooxygenase-1 level (1.25 times, p < 0.001) in the gastric mucosa, and reversing indomethacin-induced changes in the expression of non-cyclooxygenase pathway proteins (p < 0.05). Galangin was less effective as an antiulcer agent than the whole extract, indicating that other components also contributed to the protective effect. CONCLUSIONS Alpinia officinarum extract and galangin exert antiulcer effects through cyclooxygenase and non-cyclooxygenase pathways validating use of galangin as a treatment for gastric damage.

Comparison of the effects of pachymic acid, moronic acid and hydrocortisone on the polysome loading of RNAs in lipopolysaccharide-treated THP-1 macrophages. J Nat Med 2018; 73:190-201. [PMID: 30414015 DOI: 10.1007/s11418-018-1260-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2017] [Accepted: 10/17/2018] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
We have proposed that analysis of ribosome-loaded mRNAs (i.e., the translatome) is useful for elucidation of pharmacological effects of phytocompounds in immune cells, regarding the involvement of post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms. In the present study, we compared the effects of pachymic acid from Poria cocos fungus and moronic acid from propolis with those of hydrocortisone on the translatomes of THP-1 macrophages exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to find clues to their biological effects. Polysome-associated RNAs collected from cells treated for 3 h with LPS plus each of the compounds were analyzed by DNA microarray followed by analyses of pathways/gene ontologies (GO). Upregulated mRNAs in enriched pathways that were found to contain AUUUA (AU)-rich motifs were checked by real-time PCR, and expression of candidate RNA-binding proteins stabilizing/destabilizing such AU-rich mRNAs was checked by Western blotting. The numbers of upregulated and downregulated genes (fold-changes ± 2.0 versus vehicle-control) were, respectively, 209 and 125 for moronic acid, 23 and 2 for pachymic acid, and 214 and 59 for hydrocortisone treatment. Overlapping with hydrocortisone treatment for upregulation were 158 genes in moronic acid and 17 in pachymic acid treatment; of these, 16 overlapped within all treatments (C-X-C motif chemokine ligands, interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats, etc.). Pathway analyses showed GO enrichments such as 'immune response', 'receptor binding', 'extracellular space' etc. The pachymic acid-upregulated mRNAs (highly overlapped with the other 2 treatments) showed the presence of signal peptides and AU-rich motifs, suggesting regulation by AU-rich element (ARE)-binding proteins. The expression of ARE-binding protein HuR/ELAV-1 was increased by the 3 compounds, and AUF1/hnRNP D was decreased by pachymic acid. These results suggested that pachymic acid and moronic acid effects may involve as yet unknown post-transcriptional modulation via ARE-binding proteins resembling that of glucocorticoids.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the bioactive components of Alpinia japonica as anti-inflammatory compounds using searches of the Alpinia genus, and subsequently demonstrated that alpinone 3-acetate markedly inhibits 12-O-tetradecanoyiphorbol 13-acetate-induced inflammation in a mouse model of ear edema. To assess other bioactivities of alpinone 3-acetate, we performed translatome analyses and compared them with those of hydrocortisone. Polysome-associated mRNAs were prepared from alpinone 3-acetate- or hydrocortisone-treated and control cells from 12-O-tetradecanoyiphorbol 13-acetate-induced THP-1-derived macrophages cultured in the presence of Escherichia coli O-111 lipopolysaccharide. Subsequent microarray analysis revealed that alpinone 3-acetate and hydrocortisone upregulated and downregulated the same 155 and 41 genes, respectively. Moreover, direct comparisons of translationally regulated genes indicated 5 and 10 gene probes that were upregulated and downregulated by alpinone 3-acetate and hydrocortisone, respectively. In conclusion, assays of 12-O-tetradecanoyiphorbol 13-acetate-induced inflammation ear edema in mice and polysome profiling of alpinone 3-acetate bioactivities indicated similar medicinal possibilities to those of hydrocortisone.
