[PMID: 38735486 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2024.108656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
In recent decades, natural products have attracted worldwide attention and become one of the most important resources for pharmacological industries and medical sciences to identify novel drug candidates for disease treatment. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is an alkaloid extracted from Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., which has shown great therapeutic potential in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, liver and renal injury, as well as cancer. In this review, we analyzed 1270 papers published on the Web of Science Core Collection from 2002 to 2022 and found that TMP exerted significant protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury that is the cause of pathological damages in a variety of conditions, such as ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, acute kidney injury, and liver transplantation. TMP is limited in clinical applications to some extent due to its rapid metabolism, a short biological half-life and poor bioavailability. Obviously, the structural modification, administration methods and dosage forms of TMP need to be further investigated in order to improve its bioavailability. This review summarizes the clinical applications of TMP, elucidates its potential mechanisms in protecting I/R injury, provides strategies to improve bioavailability, which presents a comprehensive understanding of the important compound. Hopefully, the information and knowledge from this review can help researchers and physicians to better improve the applications of TMP in the clinic.

Abstract
Cancer remains a major public health threat. The mitigation of the associated morbidity and mortality remains a major research focus. From a molecular biological perspective, cancer is defined as uncontrolled cell division and abnormal cell growth caused by various gene mutations. Therefore, there remains an urgent need to develop safe and effective antitumor drugs. The antitumor effect of plant extracts, which are characterized by relatively low toxicity and adverse effect, has attracted significant attention. For example, increasing attention has been paid to the antitumor effects of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), the active component of the Chinese medicine Chuanqiong, which can affect tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis, as well as reverse chemotherapeutic resistance in neoplasms, thereby triggering antitumor effects. Moreover, TMP can be used in combination with chemotherapeutic agents to enhance their effects and reduce the side effect associated with chemotherapy. Herein, we review the antitumor effects of TMP to provide a theoretical basis and foundation for the further exploration of its underlying antitumor mechanisms and promoting its clinical application.

Abstract
RATIONALE Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second leading cause of dementia worldwide. It is very important to find the possible pharmacological agents which may be useful in management and therapy of VaD. OBJECTIVES The present study investigates the effect of ozagrel, a selective thromboxane A2 (TXA2) synthase inhibitor, in a rat model of VaD. METHODS Single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin [STZ, (50 mg/kg)] was administered to Wistar rats to induced diabetes-associated vascular endothelial dysfunction and memory impairment. Morris water maze (MWM) test was employed to assess learning and memory. Endothelial dysfunction was assessed in the isolated aorta by observing endothelial-dependent vasorelaxation and levels of serum nitrite. Various biochemical and histopathological estimations were also performed. RESULTS STZ treatment produced endothelial dysfunction, impairment of learning and memory, reduction in body weight and serum nitrite/nitrate, and increase in serum glucose, brain oxidative stress (increased brain thiobarbituric acid reactive species and decreased reduced glutathione levels), brain acetylcholinesterase activity and brain myeloperoxidase activity. Further a significant rise in brain tumor necrosis factor-α & interleukin-6 levels and brain neutrophil infiltration were also observed. Treatment of ozagrel (10 & 20 mg/kg, p. o.)/donepezil (0. 5 mg/kg, i.p., serving as standard) ameliorated STZ induced endothelial dysfunction; memory deficits; biochemical and histopathological changes. CONCLUSIONS It may be concluded that ozagrel markedly improved endothelial dysfunction; learning and memory; biochemical and histopathological alteration associated with STZ induced dementia and that TXA2 can be considered as an important therapeutic target for the management of VaD.

Abstract
Natural products have a significant role in the prevention of disease and boosting of health in humans and animals. Stroke is a disease with high prevalence and incidence, the pathogenesis is a complex cascade reaction. In recent years, it’s reported that a vast number of natural products have demonstrated beneficial effects on stroke worldwide. Natural products have been discovered to modulate activities with multiple targets and signaling pathways to exert neuroprotection via direct or indirect effects on enzymes, such as kinases, regulatory receptors, and proteins. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the established pharmacological effects and multiple target mechanisms of natural products for cerebral ischemic injury in vitro and in vivo preclinical models, and their potential neuro-therapeutic applications. In addition, the biological activity of natural products is closely related to their structure, and the structure-activity relationship of most natural products in neuroprotection is lacking, which should be further explored in future. Overall, we stress on natural products for their role in neuroprotection, and this wide band of pharmacological or biological activities has made them suitable candidates for the treatment of stroke.

Classical Active Ingredients and Extracts of Chinese Herbal Medicines: Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Molecular Mechanisms for Ischemic Stroke. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:8868941.

Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and approximately 87% of cases are attributed to ischemia. The main factors that cause ischemic stroke include excitotoxicity, energy metabolism disorder, Ca+ overload, oxidative damage, apoptosis, autophagy, and inflammation. However, no effective drug is currently available for the comprehensive treatment of ischemic stroke in clinical applications; thus, there is an urgent need to find and develop comprehensive and effective drugs to treat postischemic stroke. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages in treating ischemic stroke, with overall regulatory effects at multiple levels and on multiple targets. Many researchers have studied the effective components of TCMs and have achieved undeniable results. This paper reviews studies on the anticerebral ischemia effects of TCM monomers such as tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1), tanshinone IIA (TSA), gastrodin (Gas), and baicalin (BA) as well as effective extracts such as Ginkgo biloba extract (EGB). Research on the anticerebral ischemia effects of TCMs has focused mostly on their antioxidative stress, antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, proangiogenic, and proneurogenic effects. However, the research on the use of TCM to treat ischemic stroke remains incompletely characterized. Thus, we summarized and considered this topic from the perspective of pharmacokinetics, pharmacological effects, and mechanistic research, and we have provided a reference basis for future research and development on anticerebral ischemia TCM drugs.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a common neurological disease that can lead to mortality and disability. The current curative effect remains unsatisfactory because drug accumulation in the diseased areas is insufficient as a result of the unique blood–brain barrier. Therefore, much attention has been paid to develop a novel therapeutic compound, paeonol-ozagrel conjugate (POC), for ischemic stroke. Then, POC was successfully synthesized by conjugating of paeonol and ozagrel as mutual prodrug. A series of in vitro characterizations and evaluations, including high - resolution mass spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, partition coefficient, and assessment of cytotoxicity against PC12 cells, were performed. Pharmacokinetic study demonstrated POC is eliminated quickly (t1/2 = 53.46 ± 19.64 min), which supported a short dosing interval. The neurological score, infarct volume, histopathological changes, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines levels, and TXA2 levels also were evaluated in vivo in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rats. All results showed that POC had a significant curative and therapeutic effect on ischemic stroke, as evaluated by the middle cerebral artery occlusion. Overall, POC can be expected to become a new drug candidate for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has neuroprotective effects in the pathogenesis of some human diseases, such as Parkinson's disease. The present study aimed to investigate the role of TMP in isoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction in rats, and further identify the mechanisms involved in the protective effects of TMP. The Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the cognitive function of rats exposed to isoflurane or treated with TMP. ELISA was conducted to evaluate the effects of isoflurane or TMP on neuroinflammation. The expression of microRNA-150 (miR-150) was measured using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, and the potential target genes of miR-150 were predicted and verified. The impaired cognitive function induced by isoflurane in the rats was significantly ameliorated by treatment with TMP. In addition, TMP treatment in rats attenuated neuroinflammation caused by isoflurane. The expression of miR-150 was inhibited by isoflurane exposure, but was enhanced by TMP treatment in rats. Furthermore, the overexpression of miR-150 alleviated the isoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction and neuroinflammation, while the neuroprotective effects of TMP were significantly abrogated by the knockdown of miR-150. AKT3 was a direct target of miR-150, and its mRNA expression was significantly decreased by the overexpression of miR-150 in isoflurane- and TMP-treated rats. These results demonstrated the protective effects of TMP against isoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction, which were achieved by attenuating neuroinflammation via the regulation of the miR-150/AKT3 pathway. In addition, miR-150 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for the alleviation of cognitive dysfunction induced by anesthetics.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 67:153158. [PMID: 31999981 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2019.153158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2019] [Revised: 12/03/2019] [Accepted: 12/21/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Background Shengui Sansheng Pulvis (SSP) has about 300 years history used for stroke treatment, and evidences suggest it has beneficial effects on neuro-angiogenesis and cerebral energy metabolic amelioration post-stroke. However, its protective action and mechanisms on blood-brain barrier (BBB) is still unknown. Purpose Based on multiple neuroprotective properties of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in neurological disorders, we investigate if SSP maintaining BBB integrity is associated with VIP pathway in rat permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) model. Methods Three doses of SSP extraction were administered orally. Evaluations of motor and balance abilities and detection of brain edema were performed, and BBB permeability were assessed by Evans blue (EB) staining. Primary brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation, and incubated with high dose SSP drug-containing serum and VIP-antagonist respectively. Transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) assay and Tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC)-dextran (4.4 kDa) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran (70 kDa) were used to evaluate the features of paracellular junction. Western blot detected the expressions of Claudin-5, ZO-1, Occludin and VE-cadherin, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2/9 and VIP receptors 1/2, and immunofluorescence staining tested VIP and Claudin-5 expressions. Results Our results show that SSP significantly reduces EB infiltration in dose-dependent manner in vivo and attenuates TRITC- dextran and FITC-dextran diffusion in vitro, and strengthens endothelial junctional complexes as represented by decreasing Claudin-5, ZO-1, Occludin and VE-cadherin degradations and MMP 2/9 expression, as well as promoting TEER in BMECs after ischemia. Moreover, it suggests that SSP notably enhances VIP and its receptors 1/2 expressions. VIP-antagonist exacerbates paracellular barrier of BMECs, while the result is reversed after incubation with high dose SSP drug-containing serum. Additionally, SSP also improve brain edema and motor and balance abilities after ischemic stroke. Conclusions we firstly demonstrate that the ameliorated efficacy of SSP on BBB permeability is related to the enhancements of VIP and its receptors, suggesting SSP might be an effective therapeutic agent on maintaining BBB integrity post-stroke.

Abstract
The current study aimed to investigate the effects of tetramethylprazine (TMP) on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury and its underlying mechanisms. MI/R rat model and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) cardiomyocytes model were established. CK level and LDH activity were detected to evaluate MI/R and H/R injury. Cell viability was determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell apoptosis were identified by flow cytometry and autophagy were detected by western blot. Treatment with TMP significantly reduced CK level and LDH activity and decreased myocardial infarct size in MI/R rats. TMP reduced autophagy dysfunction induced by MI/R. Moreover, TMP treatment decreased H/R-induced injury and attenuated autophagy dysfunction in cardiomyocytes. Inhibiting autophagic flux with chloroquine (CQ) decreased the cardioprotection exerted by TMP in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, the effects of TMP on the modulation of autophagy were inhibited by LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitor) in H/R cardiomyocytes. Our findings suggested TMP exerted cardioprotection against MI/R injury by decreasing Beclin-1 associated autophagy dysfunction through PI3K pathway.

Anti-inflammatory Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicines on Preclinical in vivo Models of Brain Ischemia-Reperfusion-Injury: Prospects for Neuroprotective Drug Discovery and Therapy. Front Pharmacol 2019; 10:204. [PMID: 30930774 PMCID: PMC6423897 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2019.00204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2018] [Accepted: 02/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Acquired brain ischemia-and reperfusion-injury (IRI), including both Ischemic stroke (IS) and Traumatic Brain injury (TBI), is one of the most common causes of disability and death in adults and represents a major burden in both western and developing countries worldwide. China’s clinical neurological therapeutic experience in the use of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), including TCM-derived active compounds, Chinese herbs, TCM formulations and decoction, in brain IRI diseases indicated a trend of significant improvement in patients’ neurological deficits, calling for blind, placebo-controlled and randomized clinical trials with careful meta-analysis evaluation. There are many TCMs in use for brain IRI therapy in China with significant therapeutic effects in preclinical studies using different brain IRI-animal. The basic hypothesis in this field claims that in order to avoid the toxicity and side effects of the complex TCM formulas, individual isolated and identified compounds that exhibited neuroprotective properties could be used as lead compounds for the development of novel drugs. China’s efforts in promoting TCMs have contributed to an explosive growth of the preclinical research dedicated to the isolation and identification of TCM-derived neuroprotective lead compounds. Tanshinone, is a typical example of TCM-derived lead compounds conferring neuroprotection toward IRI in animals with brain middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) or TBI models. Recent reports show the significance of the inflammatory response accompanying brain IRI. This response appears to contribute to both primary and secondary ischemic pathology, and therefore anti-inflammatory strategies have become popular by targeting pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, other inflammatory mediators, reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, and several transcriptional factors. Here, we review recent selected studies and discuss further considerations for critical reevaluation of the neuroprotection hypothesis of TCMs in IRI therapy. Moreover, we will emphasize several TCM’s mechanisms of action and attempt to address the most promising compounds and the obstacles to be overcome before they will enter the clinic for IRI therapy. We hope that this review will further help in investigations of neuroprotective effects of novel molecular entities isolated from Chinese herbal medicines and will stimulate performance of clinical trials of Chinese herbal medicine-derived drugs in IRI patients.

Abstract
Plants are known to possess plenty of pharmacological activities as a result of various phytoconstituents. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), one of the most widely used medicinal compound isolated from traditional Chinese herb, is usually employed for anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-platelet aggregation, anti-lipid, anti-fibrosis, as well as activating blood, removing stasis, dilating small arteries, improving microcirculation and antagonizing calcium. In the present paper, the anti-adhesion effect of TMP were reviewed. TMP was found to play a multi-target and muti-link role in anti-adhesion by inhibiting hyperplasia of collagen and overexpression of adhesion-related factors and reducing the concentration of white blood cells and fibrin in plasma. Because previous studies mostly focused on in vitro experiments and animal experiments, there is an urgent need for clinical research with abundant indicators to further prove its anti-adhesion potency. Future basic research should concentrate on the development of TMP as a biological material.

Abstract
Background Intranasal calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) delivery offers a noninvasive method of bypassing the blood-brain barrier for the delivery of CGRP to the brain. Here, we first reported the therapeutic benefits of intranasal CGRP delivery in rats following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Material/Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), rat MCAO model, TTC (2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride) staining, hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining, Morris water maze test, TUNEL assay, immunofluorescence, and western blot assay were used to investigate the role of CGRP in rats. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, colony formation assay, cell cycle assay, apoptosis assay, western blot assay, and TOP/FOP assay were used to investigate the role of CGRP in normal human astrocytes (NHA) cells. Results The CGRP-MCAO-NDDS (nasal drug delivery system) group showed a significant reduction in the infarct volume and improvement in neurologic deficit tests of motor, sensory, reflex and vestibulo-motor functions compared to those rats in the CGRP-MCAO-IV group. CGRP markedly inhibited apoptosis and increased the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bFGF and decreased the expression of GAP43 in the cortex of MCAO rats. CGRP promoted cell proliferation and cell cycle process and inhibited cell apoptosis through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in NHA cells. Conclusions This noninvasive, simple, and cost-effective method is a potential treatment strategy for focal cerebral ischemic injury.

Tetramethylpyrazine‑2'O‑sodium ferulate provides neuroprotection against neuroinflammation and brain injury in MCAO/R rats by suppressing TLR-4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Pharmacol Biochem Behav 2018; 176:33-42.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation following cerebral ischemia is a serious risk factor in stroke patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of tetramethylpyrazine‑2'O‑sodium ferulate (TSF), a structurally modified compound from tetramethylpyrazine and ferulate, on cerebral ischemic injury and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Focal transient cerebral ischemia was induced in rat for 2 h by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and the protective effect of TSF was studied using different doses of the drug (10.8, 18, 30 mg/kg, intravenously); Ozagrel (18 mg/kg) was used as the positive control. The drugs were given immediately after MCAO and the efficacy and mechanisms were evaluated at 72 h of reperfusion. The level of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β and anti-inflammatory molecules such as IL-10 was measured; other factors such as neurological deficit, brain water content and infarct size and the level of MCP-1, ICAM-1, iNOS, CD11b, TLR-4/NF-κBp65 were also measured. RESULTS TSF at the doses of 18, 30 mg/kg significantly improved neurological deficit, reduced brain water content and infarct size, accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1, ICAM-1, iNOS and an increase in the concentration of IL-10. The amount of CD11b and ICAM-1 was found largely decreased and the expression of TLR-4 and the nuclear NF-κBp65 was weakened in TSF-treatment group. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that TSF possesses a neuroprotective effect against ischemic stroke which might be mediated through suppression of the inflammatory pathways in the brain following ischemic stroke.

Abstract
MicroRNA-146a (miR-146a) is reportedly implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, its role in cerebral I/R injury is unclear and requires further investigation. In this study, cerebral I/R injury was established in mice via middle cerebral artery occlusion, and the expression of miR-146a was detected in the brain tissue via quantitative real-time PCR. We found that the expression of miR-146a was upregulated. Furthermore, the endogenous miR-146a was antagonized by its specific inhibitor. The results indicated that the inhibition of miR-146a deteriorated I/R-induced neurobehavioral impairment, exaggerated the infarct size, and exacerbated blood-brain barrier leakage. Cerebral I/R injury-induced generation of inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6, was further promoted by miR-146a inhibitor. The expression of interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), a target of miR-146a, was upregulated upon miR-146a inhibition. In addition, the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway was over-activated when miR-146a was antagonized as manifested by the increased levels of phospho-NF-κB inhibitor α and nuclear p65. In summary, our findings demonstrate that the elevation of miR-146a may be one of the compensatory responses after the cerebral I/R injury and suggest miR-146a as a potential therapeutic target for cerebral I/R injury.
