Abstract
The non-selective cation channel TRPC1 is highly expressed in the brain. Recent research shows that neuronal TRPC1 forms heteromeric complexes with TRPC4 and TRPC5, with a small portion existing as homotetramers, primarily in the ER. Given that most studies have focused on the role of heteromeric TRPC1/4/5 complexes, it is crucial to investigate the specific role of homomeric TRPC1 in maintaining brain homeostasis. This review highlights recent findings on TRPC1 in the brain, with a focus on the hippocampus, and compiles the latest data on modulators and their binding sites within the TRPC1/4/5 subfamily to stimulate new research on more selective TRPC1 ligands.

Biotransformation of antioxidant eriocitrin into characteristic metabolites by the gut microbiota. JOURNAL OF ASIAN NATURAL PRODUCTS RESEARCH 2024; 26:510-518. [PMID: 37705345 DOI: 10.1080/10286020.2023.2251123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
Eriocitrin is a flavonoid glycoside with strong antioxidant capacity that has a variety of pharmacological activities, such as hypolipidemic, anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects. We found that the gut microbiota could rapidly metabolize eriocitrin. By using LC/MSn-IT-TOF, we identified three metabolites of eriocitrin metabolized in the intestinal microbiota: eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside, eriodictyol, and dihydrocaffeic acid. By comparing these two metabolic pathways of eriocitrin (the gut microbiota and liver microsomes), the intestinal microbiota may be the primary metabolic site of eriocitrin metabolism. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for the study of pharmacologically active substances.

Phytother Res 2023; 37:5700-5723. [PMID: 37748788 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023]
Abstract
Galangin is an important flavonoid with natural activity, that is abundant in galangal and propolis. Currently, various biological activities of galangin have been disclosed, including anti-inflammation, antibacterial effect, anti-oxidative stress and aging, anti-fibrosis, and antihypertensive effect. Based on the above bioactivities, more and more attention has been paid to the role of galangin in neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, skin diseases, and cancer. In this paper, the natural sources, pharmacokinetics, bioactivities, and therapeutic potential of galangin against various diseases were systematically reviewed by collecting and summarizing relevant literature. In addition, the molecular mechanism and new preparation of galangin in the treatment of related diseases are also discussed, to broaden the application prospect and provide reference for its clinical application. Furthermore, it should be noted that current toxicity and clinical studies of galangin are insufficient, and more evidence is needed to support its possibility as a functional food.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e16500. [PMID: 37251824 PMCID: PMC10213349 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e16500] [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: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Vascular alterations induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) are involved in the development of hypertension. Galangin, a flavonoid, is the major active compound isolated from galangal and propolis. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of galangin on aortic endothelial dysfunction and hypertrophy, and the mechanisms involved in HFD-induced metabolic syndrome (MS) in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (220-240 g) were separated into three groups: control + vehicle, MS + vehicle, and MS + galangin (50 mg/kg). Rats with MS received HFD plus 15% fructose solution for 16 weeks. Galangin or vehicle was orally administered daily for the final four weeks. Galangin reduced body weight and mean arterial pressure in HFD rats (p < 0.05). It also reduced circulating fasting blood glucose, insulin, and total cholesterol levels (p < 0.05). Impaired vascular responses to the exogenous acetylcholine observed in the aortic ring of HFD rats were restored by galangin (p < 0.05). However, the response to sodium nitroprusside did not differ between the groups. Galangin enhanced the expression of the aortic endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein and increased circulating nitric oxide (NO) levels in the MS group (p < 0.05). Aortic hypertrophy in HFD rats was alleviated by galangin (p < 0.05). Increases in tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 levels, angiotensin-converting enzyme activity and angiotensin II (Ang II) concentrations in rats with MS were suppressed in galangin treated group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, galangin reduced the upregulation of angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) expression in rats with MS (p < 0.05). In conclusion, galangin alleviates metabolic disorders and improves aortic endothelial dysfunction and hypertrophy in the MS group. These effects were consistent with increased NO availability, reduced inflammation, and suppressing Ang II/AT1R/TGF-β signalling pathway.
