Exploration of potential antidiabetic and antioxidant components from the branches of Mitragyna diversifolia and possible mechanism. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 180:117450. [PMID: 39312881 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2024] [Revised: 09/07/2024] [Accepted: 09/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, sixteen compounds were isolated from the branches of Mitragyna diversifolia, including twelve triterpenes (1-12), a phenolic compound (13), and three flavonoids (14-16). Among them, compounds 1-7, and 10-16 were reported for the first time from this plant. Compounds 7, 14, and 15 exhibited significant inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase, with IC50 values of 18.48 ± 2.74, 12.14 ± 1.58 and 35.77 ± 4.52 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the inhibitory kinetics of α-glucosidase revealed that all fractions, active compounds 7, 14, and 15 belong to the mix inhibition type. In molecular docking, the analysis showed that compounds 13, 14, 15, and 16 possessed superior binding capacities with α-glucosidase (-8.3, -9.6, -9.9, and -9.2 kcal/mol, respectively). The results of the glucose uptake experiment indicated that only compound 14 showed a significant promotion effect on the glucose uptake rate of 3T3-L1 adipocytes (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, compounds 13, 14, 15, and 16 possessed potent antioxidant abilities with DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP. In DNA and protein oxidative damage assays, compound 15 had a stronger effect than the positive control Vc. The network-based pharmacological analysis platform was used to predict the diabetes-related target proteins of active compounds 7, 13, 14, 15, and 16, and two candidate targets (ALB and PPARG) related to their therapeutic effects on diabetes were identified.

Animal Model Exp Med 2024; 7:433-443.

Abstract
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), based on various pathogenic symptoms and the 'golden chamber' medical text, Huangdi Neijing, diabetes mellitus falls under the category 'collateral disease'. TCM, with its wealth of experience, has been treating diabetes for over two millennia. Different antidiabetic Chinese herbal medicines reduce blood sugar, with their effective ingredients exerting unique advantages. As well as a glucose lowering effect, TCM also regulates bodily functions to prevent diabetes associated complications, with reduced side effects compared to western synthetic drugs. Chinese herbal medicine is usually composed of polysaccharides, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids. These active ingredients reduce blood sugar via various mechanism of actions that include boosting endogenous insulin secretion, enhancing insulin sensitivity and adjusting key enzyme activity and scavenging free radicals. These actions regulate glycolipid metabolism in the body, eventually achieving the goal of normalizing blood glucose. Using different animal models, a number of molecular markers are available for the detection of diabetes induction and the molecular pathology of the disease is becoming clearer. Nonetheless, there is a dearth of scientific data about the pharmacology, dose-effect relationship, and structure-activity relationship of TCM and its constituents. Further research into the efficacy, toxicity and mode of action of TCM, using different metabolic and molecular markers, is key to developing novel TCM antidiabetic formulations.

Molecular Networking, Network Pharmacology, and Molecular Docking Approaches Employed to Investigate the Changes in Ephedrae Herba before and after Honey-Processing.

Abstract
Raw Ephedrae herba (REH) and honey-processed Ephedrae herba (HEH) were the different decoction pieces of Ephedrae herba (EH). Honey-processing that changes REH into HEH has been shown to relieve cough and asthma to a synergistic extent. However, the chemical markers and the synergistic mechanism of HEH need to be further studied. In this study, the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with hybrid quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and molecular networking (MN) were used to investigate the chemical composition of REH and HEH, which led to the identification of 92 compounds. A total of 38 differential chemical markers for REH and HEH were identified using principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Network pharmacology suggests that the synergistic effect of HEH in relieving cough and asthma may be due to 31 differential chemical markers acting through 111 biological targets. Among them, four compounds and two targets probably played an important role based on the results of molecular docking. This study enriched our knowledge about the chemical composition of REH and HEH, as well as the synergistic mechanism of HEH.
