Cui T, Li BY, Liu F, Xiong L. Research Progress on Sesquiterpenoids of Curcumae Rhizoma and Their Pharmacological Effects. Biomolecules 2024; 14:387. [PMID: 38672405 PMCID: PMC11048675 DOI: 10.3390/biom14040387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Curcumae Rhizoma, a traditional Chinese medicine with a wide range of pharmacological activities, is obtained from the dried rhizomes of Curcuma phaeocaulis VaL., Curcuma kwangsiensis S. G. Lee et C. F. Liang, and Curcuma wenyujin Y. H. Chen et C. Ling. Sesquiterpenoids and curcuminoids are found to be the main constituents of Curcumae Rhizoma. Sesquiterpenoids are composed of three isoprene units and are susceptible to complex transformations, such as cyclization, rearrangement, and oxidation. They are the most structurally diverse class of plant-based natural products with a wide range of biological activities and are widely found in nature. In recent years, scholars have conducted abundant studies on the structures and pharmacological properties of components of Curcumae Rhizoma. This article elucidates the chemical structures, medicinal properties, and biological properties of the sesquiterpenoids (a total of 274 compounds) isolated from Curcumae Rhizoma. We summarized extraction and isolation methods for sesquiterpenoids, established a chemical component library of sesquiterpenoids in Curcumae Rhizoma, and analyzed structural variances among sesquiterpenoids sourced from Curcumae Rhizoma of diverse botanical origins. Furthermore, our investigation reveals a diverse array of sesquiterpenoid types, encompassing guaiane-type, germacrane-type, eudesmane-type, elemane-type, cadinane-type, carane-type, bisabolane-type, humulane-type, and other types, emphasizing the relationship between structural diversity and activity. We hope to provide a valuable reference for further research and exploitation and pave the way for the development of new drugs derived from medicinal plants.

Abstract
Four new germacrane-type sesquiterpenes commiphoranes M1-M4 (1-4) together with eighteen sesquiterpenes were isolated from the Resina Commiphora. The structures and relative configurations of new substances were determined by using spectroscopic methods. Biological activity investigation revealed that nine compounds including 7, 9, 14, 16, (+)-17, (-)-17, 18, 19, and 20 could induce the apoptosis of prostate cancer originated PC-3 cells, through classic apoptosis signaling pathway, even using flow cytometry showed that the compound (+)-17 caused apoptosis of PC-3 cells more than 40 %, suggesting their potential therapeutic application in the development of novel drugs against prostate cancer.

Study on Quality Standards and Hepatoprotective Effect of Curcuma phaeocaulis Radix. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:6617009. [PMID: 33688362 PMCID: PMC7920706 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6617009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2020] [Revised: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Curcuma phaeocaulis Radix (Lüsiyujin) is a mainstream variety of Curcumae Radix cultivated in Sichuan for more than 900 years, but its broader utility is limited by a lack of quality control and pharmacodynamic research. We used the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, 2015 edition, to guide the determination of germacrone and furanodienone content in extracts. We established an animal model of Qi stagnation and blood stasis in a clinical context. Pathological changes in liver function indexes were evaluated to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of Lüsiyujin. In 20 extraction batches of Lüsiyujin, ethanol extracts yielded 9.22%-15.01%, average 12.03%. The germacrone content was 0.003%-0.011% (average 0.0069%), and the furanodienone content was 0.090%-0.478% (average 0.201%). Compared with the control group, the model rats exhibited functional liver damage. Serum markers of liver function varied after treatment with Lüsiyujin, but significant effects were observed with alanine aminotransferase and total bile acid. This study demonstrates a simple method of quality control for Lüsiyujin. The study also demonstrated that Lüsiyujin inhibits hepatocyte damage and regulates the excretion and secretion of hepatic bile. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for the formulation of quality standards, clinical application, and resource development for the utilisation of Lüsiyujin.
