CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINES 2024; 16:457-465. [PMID: 39072204 PMCID: PMC11283214 DOI: 10.1016/j.chmed.2023.07.005] [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: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To investigate the plasma pharmacokinetics of six representative components (nodakenin, osthole, 5-O-methylvisammioside, ferulic acid, liquiritigenin, and liquiritin), which were the ingredients of Qianghuo Shengshi Decoction (QSD) granules, in normal and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats administrated QSD granules intragastrically. Methods A rapid and accurate ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of six components in plasma, and it showed a good specificity, linearity, intra-day and inter-day precision, intra-day and inter-day accuracy, extraction recovery, stability, and the less matrix effect. Results The validated LC-MS/MS method was successfully used to compare the plasma pharmacokinetics of six ingredients between normal and RA rats after intragastrical administration of QSD granules and differences in the pharmacokinetics were found in two types of rats. The absorption rate in the RA rats was lower for nodakenin, osthole, 5-O-methylvisammioside, liquiritigenin and liquiritin than in the normal group, while the absorption rate of ferulic acid remained constant in two groups. In comparison with the normal rats, the exposure concentration of nodakenin was higher and that of other five components except for nodakenin was lower under pathological conditions. Additionally, the absorptive amount of nodakenin, osthole, 5-O-methylvisammioside and liquiritin was increased and that of ferulic acid and liquiritigenin was reduced in the RA rats than in the normal rats. Compared with the normal rats, the retention time of nodakenin, ferulic acid and liquiritin was reduced in vivo, whereas the retention time of osthole, 5-O-methylvisammioside and liquiritigenin was raised in the body for the RA rats. In contrast to the normal rats, the data demonstrated an increase in the elimination velocity of nodakenin and a decrease in the elimination velocity of the other five components except for nodakenin in the pathological state. Conclusion This study showed that the pharmacokinetic behavior of the six components, nodakenin, osthole, 5-O-methylvisammioside, ferulic acid, liquiritigenin, and liquiritin, is different in vivo between normal and pathological states of rats, and this research provided the necessary experimental data to explain the pharmacokinetics of QSD granules in both normal and pathological states and provide some references for its clinical application at some level.

Abstract
The genus Angelica comprises various species utilized for diverse medicinal purposes, with differences attributed to the varying levels or types of inherent chemical components in each species. This study employed DNA barcode analysis and HPLC analysis to genetically authenticate and chemically classify eight medicinal Angelica species (n = 106) as well as two non-medicinal species (n = 14) that have been misused. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region revealed differences ranging from 11 to 117 bp, while psbA-trnH showed variances of 3 to 95 bp, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis grouped all samples except Angelica sinensis into the same cluster, with some counterfeits forming separate clusters. Verification using the NCBI database confirmed the feasibility of species identification. For chemical identification, a robust quantitative HPLC analysis method was developed for 46 marker compounds. Subsequently, two A. reflexa-specific and seven A. biserrata-specific marker compounds were identified, alongside non-specific markers. Moreover, chemometric clustering analysis reflecting differences in chemical content between species revealed that most samples formed distinct clusters according to the plant species. However, some samples formed mixed clusters containing different species. These findings offer crucial insights for the standardization and quality control of medicinal Angelica species.

Abstract
The extraction, purification, qualification, and quantification of polyphenols (PPs) in vinegar are challenging owing to the complex matrix of vinegar and the specific physicochemical and structural properties of PPs. This study aimed to develop a simple, efficient, low-cost method for enriching and purifying vinegar PPs. The enrichment and purification effects of five solid phase extraction (SPE) columns and five macroporous adsorption resins (MARs) for PPs were compared. The results show that SPE columns were more effective in purifying vinegar PPs than MARs. Among them, the Strata-XA column showed a higher recovery (78.469 ± 0.949%), yield (80.808 ± 2.146%), and purity (86.629 ± 0.978%) than other columns. In total, 48 PPs were identified and quantified using SPE and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry from the SPE column extracts; phenolic acids, such as 4-hydroxyphenyllactic acid, vanillic acid, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, and 3-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) propionic acid, occupy a major position in SAV. Furthermore, considering the potential applications of PPs, the concentrates were characterized based on their bioactive properties. They exhibited high total PP, flavonoid, and melanoidin contents and excellent anti-glycosylation and antioxidant activities. These results indicate that the established methodology is a high-efficiency, rapid-extraction, and environment-friendly method for separating and purifying PPs, with broad application prospects in the food, chemical, and cosmetic industries.

Therapeutic effects of columbianadin from Angelicae Pubescentis radix on the progression of collagen-induced rheumatoid aarthritis by regulating inflammation and oxidative stress. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023:116727. [PMID: 37277080 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Angelicae pubescentis radix (APR) has a long history in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China. It has the effects of dispelling wind to eliminate dampness, removing arthralgia and stopping pain in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, but its mechanisms was remained unclear. Columbianadin (CBN), one of the main bioactive compounds of APR, was reported that it has many pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory and immunosuppression. However, little study has been investigated therapeutic effect of CBN on RA. AIM OF THE STUDY A comprehensive strategy via incorporating pharmacodynamics, microbiomics, metabolomics, and multiple molecular biological methods was adopted to evaluated the therapeutic effects of CBN on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice and explored the potential mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A variety of pharmacodynamic methods were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of CBN on CIA mice. The microbial and metabolic characteristics of CBN anti-RA were obtained by metabolomics and 16S rRNA sequencing technology. The potential mechanism of CBN anti-RA was predicted through bioinformatics network analysis, and verified by a variety of molecular biology methods. RESULTS CBN effectively improve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in CIA mice, including paw swelling and arthritic scores. The inflammatory factors and oxidative stress markers were effectively regulated by the treatment of CBN. The fecal microbial communities and serum and urine metabolic compositions were significantly altered in CIA mice, CBN ameliorated the CIA-associated gut microbiota dysbiosis, and regulated the disturbance of serum and urine metabolome and reversed the changes of key CIA and gut microbiota-related metabolites. The acute toxicity test, results showed that the LD50 of CBN is greater than 2000 mg kg-1, which confirmed the security of CBN. CONCLUSIONS CBN exert anti-RA effects from four perspectives: inhibiting inflammatory response, regulating oxidative stress, and improving changes in gut microbiota and metabolites. The JAK1/STAT3, NF-κB and Keap1/Nrf2 pathway may be an important mechanism for CBN's inflammatory response and oxidative stress activity. CBN could be considered as a potential anti-RA drug for further study.

Abstract
An effective method for separating and purifying critical saponins (polyphyllin II and polyphyllin VII) from a Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis extract was developed in this study which was environmentally friendly and economical. Static adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics, and the dynamic adsorption-desorption of macroporous resins were investigated, and then the conditions of purification and separation were optimized by fitting with an adsorption thermodynamics equation and a kinetic equation. Effective NKA-9 resin from seven macroporous resins was screened out to separate and purify the two saponins. The static adsorption and dynamic adsorption were chemical and physical adsorption dual-processes on the NKA-9 resin. Under the optimum parameters, the contents of polyphyllin II and polyphyllin VII in the product were 17.3-fold and 28.6-fold those in plant extracts, respectively. The total yields of the two saponins were 93.16%. This research thus provides a theoretical foundation for the large-scale industrial production of the natural drugs polyphyllin II and polyphyllin VII.

Abstract
4-hydroxyl coumarin (HC), an important intermediate during the synthesis procedure of rodenticide and anti-cardiovascular drug, shows highly medicinal value and economic value. To achieve the efficient adsorption of HC from natural biological samples, a novel magnetic surface molecularly imprinted polymer (HC/SMIPs) was constructed by employing methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer, organic silane modified magnetic particles as matrix carrier and HC as template molecule. Due to the numerous specific imprinted cavities on the HC/SMIPs, the maximum adsorption capacity of HC/SMIPs for 4-hydroxycoumarin could reach to 22.78 mg g−1 within 20 min. In addition, HC/SMIPs exhibited highly selective adsorption for 4-hydroxycoumarin compared with other active drug molecules (osthole and rutin) and showed excellent regeneration performance. After 8 cycles of adsorption-desorption tests, the adsorption capacity of HC/SMIPs just slightly decreased by 6.64%. The efficient selective removal and easy recycle of 4-hydroxycoumarin from biological samples by HC/SMIPs made a highly promising to advance the application of imprinting polymers in complex practical environments.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Angelicae pubescentis radix (APR) has a long history in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China. It has the effects of dispelling wind to eliminate dampness, removing arthralgia and stopping pain in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, but its mechanisms was unclear. Columbianadin (CBN) was one of the main bioactive compounds of APR, and has many pharmacological effects. But the immunosuppressive effect of CBN on DCs and the potential mechanism needed to be explored. AIM OF THE STUDY The study was aimed to clarify the immunosuppressive effect of CBN on maturation, migration, allogenic T cell stimulation and phagocytosis capacity of TNF-α induced DCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bone marrow-derived DCs were obtained and cultured from C57BL/6 mice in accordance with protocol. The phenotypic study (CD11c, CD40, CD80, CD86 and MHC Ⅱ) were measured by flow cytometry. FITC-dextran were uptaked by DCs and the change of endocytosis activity were mediated by acquired mannose receptor. Transwell chambers were used to detect the migration ability of DCs. Mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) assay was used to detect the allostimulatory ability of CBN on TNF-α stimulated DCs. The secretion of cytokines and chemokines was measured by ELISA Kit. TLRs gene and MAPKs/NF-κB protein expression were checked by qRT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS CBN inhibited the maturation of TNF-α-induced DCs while maintaining phagocytosis capabilities. Additionally, CBN inhibited the migration of TNF-α stimulated DCs, which related to reduce the production of chemokines (MCP-1, MIP-1α). Notably, CBN could suppress the proliferation of CD4+T cells by inhibiting DCs maturation, and decrease the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 production. Furthermore, CBN inhibited mRNA expression of TLR2, TLR7 and TLR9 in TNF-α-activated DCs. Meanwhile, the phosphorylation of p38, JNK1/2 and NF-κB protein were significantly inhibited in CBN treated DCs. CONCLUSIONS These findings provided novel insights into the pharmacological activity of CBN. They also indicated that inhibition DCs maturation owning to the immunosuppressive effect of CBN. CBN was expected as a potential immunosuppressant and TLRs/MAPKs/NF-κB pathway may be an important mechanism for CBN's immunosuppressive activity.

Abstract
Columbianadin (CBN) is a bioactive coumarin-type compound with various biological activities. However, the action of CBN on the ionic mechanism remains largely uncertain, albeit it was reported to inhibit voltage-gated Ca2+ current or to modulate TRP-channel activity. In this study, whole-cell patch-clamp current recordings were undertaken to explore the modifications of CBN or other related compounds on ionic currents in excitable cells (e.g., pituitary GH3 cells and HL-1 atrial cardiomyocytes). GH3-cell exposure to CBN differentially decreased peak or late component of voltage-gated Na+ current (INa) with effective IC50 of 14.7 or 2.8 µM, respectively. The inactivation time course of INa activated by short depolarization became fastened in the presence of CBN with estimated KD value of 3.15 µM. The peak INa diminished by 10 µM CBN was further suppressed by subsequent addition of either sesamin (10 µM), ranolazine (10 µM), or tetrodotoxin (1 µM), but it was reversed by 10 µM tefluthrin (Tef); however, further application of 10 µM nimodipine failed to alter CBN-mediated inhibition of INa. CBN (10 µM) shifted the midpoint of inactivation curve of INa to the leftward direction. The CBN-mediated inhibition of peak INa exhibited tonic and use-dependent characteristics. Using triangular ramp pulse, the hysteresis of persistent INa enhanced by Tef was noticed, and the behavior was attenuated by subsequent addition of CBN. The delayed-rectifier or erg-mediated K+ current was mildly inhibited by 10 µM CBN, while it also slightly inhibited the amplitude of hyperpolarization-activated cation current. In HL-1 atrial cardiomyocytes, CBN inhibited peak INa and raised the inactivation rate of the current; moreover, further application of 10 µM Tef attenuated CBN-mediated decrease in INa. Collectively, this study provides an important yet unidentified finding revealing that CBN modifies INa in electrically excitable cells.

Abstract
Angiogenesis, the process of formation and recruitment of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, plays an important role in the development of cancer. Therefore, the use of antiangiogenic agents is one of the most critical strategies for the treatment of cancer. In addition, the complexity of cancer pathogenicity raises the need for multi-targeting agents. Coumarins are multi-targeting natural agents belonging to the class of benzopyrones. Coumarins have several biological and pharmacological effects, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammation, anticoagulant, anxiolytic, analgesic, and anticancer properties. Several reports have shown that the anticancer effect of coumarins and their derivatives are mediated through targeting angiogenesis by modulating the functions of vascular endothelial growth factor as well as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, which are involved in cancer pathogenesis. In the present review, we focus on the antiangiogenic effects of coumarins and related structure-activity relationships with particular emphasis on cancer.
