Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2023; 267:109575. [PMID: 36813020 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2023.109575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023]
Abstract
Botrytis cinerea can reduce the yield of fruits and vegetables by infecting plants. The conidia produced by Botrytis cinerea can be transmitted to the aquatic environment via air and water, but the effects of Botrytis cinerea on aquatic animals is unknown. In this research, the influence of Botrytis cinerea on the development, inflammation, and apoptosis of zebrafish larvae and the underlying mechanism was evaluated. Results indicated that, compared with the control group, the larvae exposed to 101-103 CFU/mL of Botrytis cinerea spore suspension had a delayed hatching rate, lower head and eye area, shorter body length, and larger yolk sac at 72 h post-fertilization. In addition, the quantitative fluorescence intensity of treated larvae displayed a dose-dependent increase in apoptosis sign, revealing that Botrytis cinerea could generate apoptosis. Subsequently, zebrafish larvae were inflamed after exposure to Botrytis cinerea spore suspension, which was characterized as inflammatory infiltration and macrophage aggregation in the intestine. The enrichment of the pro-inflammatory factor TNF-α activated the NF-κB signaling pathway, generating the increase of the transcription level of target genes (jak3, pi3k, pdk1, akt, and ikk2) and the high expression of major proteins NF-κB (P65) in this pathway. Likewise, elevated content of TNF-α could activate JNK, which turned on the P53 apoptotic pathway, leading to a significant increase in the bax, caspase3, and caspase9 transcript abundances. This study demonstrated that Botrytis cinerea could cause developmental toxicity, morphological malformation, inflammation, and cell apoptosis in zebrafish larvae, which provided data support and a theoretical basis for ecological health risk assessment and filled the gap in biological research of Botrytis cinerea.

Abstract
Abstract:
The discovery and synthesis of natural products, especially those possessing novel scaffolds, are crucial to the development of new drugs. Dracaenones are part of homoisoflavone natural products, owning a complex spiro-bridged polycyclic structures bearing benzylic quaternary carbon centers, and some of them reveal considerable biological activity. There have been continuous studies on these compounds due to the rare structure and the important biological properties. However, a systematic summary and analysis for dracaenone is lacking. This review aims to generally summarize the natural source, synthetic strategies and biological activities of dracaenones, moreover, the limitations, challenges, and future prospects were discussed, wishing to provide references for the follow-up study of compounds with similar skeleton.

Abstract
Caesalpinia sappan L. is a traditional medicinal plant which is used for promoting blood circulation and cerebral apoplexy therapy in China. Previous reports showed that the extracts of Caesalpinia sappan L. could exert vasorelaxant activity and anti-inflammation activity. Protosappanin B is a major constituent of C. sappan L., and showed several important bioactivities. The separation was achieved by an Acquity UPLC BEH Symmetry Shield RP18 column (1.7 μm, 2.1 × 100 mm) column with the gradient mobile phase consisting of 5 mm ammonium acetate aqueous solution and acetonitrile. Detection was carried out by using negative-ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry via multiple reaction monitoring. Plasma samples were preprocessed by an extraction with ethyl acetate, and apigenin was used as internal standard. The current UPLC-MS/MS assay was validated for linearity, accuracy, intraday and interday precisions, stability, matrix effects and extraction recovery. After oral and intravenous administration, the main pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: peak concentrations, 83.5 ± 46.2 and 1329.6 ± 343.6 ng/mL; areas under the concentration-time curve, 161.9 ± 69.7 and 264.9 ± 56.3 μg h/L; and half-lives, 3.4 ± 0.9 and 0.3 ± 0.1 h, respectively. The absolute bioavailability in rats of protosappanin B was 12.2%. The method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic and bioavailability study of protosappanin B in rats.

An LC/MS/MS method for simultaneous quantitation of two homoisoflavones: protosappanin B and brazilin with hypoglycemic activity in rat plasma and its application to a comparative pharmacokinetic study in normal and streptozotocin-treated rats. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2013; 148:682-690. [PMID: 23707335 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2013.05.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2013] [Revised: 05/07/2013] [Accepted: 05/15/2013] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The heartwood of Caesalpinia sappan L. (Leguminosae), a widely used Chinese medicine in folk, has been used for the treatment of traumatic injury, stasis pain, amenorrhea, dysmenorrheal, as well as stabbing pain in the chest, abdomen and so on. Protosappanin B and brazilin, as the major bioactive homoisoflavones of Sappan Lignum, are used as the marker components for the quality control of the herb in China Pharmacopoeia. AIM OF THE STUDY To establish a sensitive LC/MS/MS method for investigating the pharmacokinetic properties of protosappanin B and brazilin in rats after oral administration of Sappan Lignum extract, and compare their pharmacokinetics difference between normal and streptozotocin-treated rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS A rapid, selective and sensitive LC/MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of protosappanin B and brazilin in rat plasma. Normal and streptozotocin-treated rats were orally administered with the Sappan Lignum extract at the same dose of 2.83 g extract/kg body weight (equivalent to 35.56 mg/kg of protosappanin B and 52.25 mg/kg of brazilin), respectively. RESULTS After oral administration of Sappan Lignum extract, a remarkable increase (p<0.05) in the value of AUC0-24h, AUC0-∞, Cmax and T1/2 associated with protosappanin B and brazilin was observed in the streptozotocin-treated group. Compared with the normal rats, elimination of both compounds in the streptozotocin-treated rats was slower. CONCLUSION The established method was successfully applied to compare the pharmacokinetic behaviors of protosappanin B and brazilin in rat plasma after oral administration of Sappan Lignum extract between normal and streptozotocin-treated groups; the results might suggest the accumulation of both compounds in diabetic pathologic states and the adverse reaction should be considered when it was used.

Abstract
Exacerbated production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is a key event in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) and represents a promising target for the management of OA with nutraceuticals. In this study, we sought to determine the MMP-inhibitory activity of an ethanolic Caesalpinia sappan extract (CSE) in human OA chondrocytes. Thus, human articular chondrocytes isolated from OA cartilage and SW1353 chondrocytes were stimulated with Interleukin-1beta (IL1β), without or with pretreatment with CSE. Following viability assays, the production of MMP-2 and MMP-13 was assessed using ELISA, whereas mRNA levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-13 and TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3 were quantified using RT-qPCR assays. Chondrocytes were co-transfected with a MMP-13 luciferase reporter construct and NF-kB p50 and p65 expression vectors in the presence or absence of CSE. In addition, the direct effect of CSE on the proteolytic activities of MMP-2 was evaluated using gelatin zymography. We found that CSE significantly suppressed IL1β-mediated upregulation of MMP-13 mRNA and protein levels via abrogation of the NF-kB(p65/p50)-driven MMP-13 promoter activation. We further observed that the levels of IL1β-induced MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-7, and MMP-9 mRNA, but not TIMP mRNA levels, were down-regulated in chondrocytes in response to CSE. Zymographic results suggested that CSE did not directly interfere with the proteolytic activity of MMP-2. In summary, this study provides evidence for the MMP-inhibitory potential of CSE or CSE-derived compounds in human OA chondrocytes. The data indicate that the mechanism of this inhibition might, at least in part, involve targeting of NF-kB-mediated promoter activation.
