ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To research the effect and mechanism of ethyl acetate extract from Kadsura longipedunculata Finet et Gagnep. METHODS: The 70 SD male rats were randomly divided into 7 groups: normal control group, model group, tripterginum glycosides(TG) group, dexamethasone(DXM) group, ethyl acetate extract from Kadsura longipedunculata Finet et Gagnep. low, medium and high dosage groups(0.063, 0.126, 0.252 g·kg-1·d-1), the CIA(collagen induced arthritis) model of rats was adopted. Under 28 days intragastric administration, the rats' state, weight, degree of paw swelling, arthritis index and pathological changes of ankle joints were observed. Their serologic contents of interleukin 1β(IL-1β), interleukin-6(IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were examined by means of ELISA, and the expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA in joint synovial tissues were tested via quantitative Real-time PCR method. RESULTS: The ethyl acetate extract from Kadsura longipedunculata Finet et Gagnep. is found obviously effective in inhibiting CIA rats' paw swelling, decreasing serologic content of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, as well as the expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA in synovial tissues.Its effect is dosage-related, and stronger than that of TG, weaker than that of DXM. CONCLUSION: Kadsura longipedunculata Finet et Gagnep. is, to some extent, effective against RA, the mechanism of which is related to the transcription of NF-κB p65.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the roots of Kadsura longipedunculata. Methods: The constituents were isolated and purified by various chromatographic methods, and the structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Results: Fifteen compounds including 10 lignans and five triterpenoids were isolated from the roots of K. longipedunculata and the structures were identified as (2S,3S)-4,4-bis (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethyl-1-butanol (1), (2S,3S)-4,4-bis (4-hydroxy-3- methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethyl-1-butanol (2), kadangustin K (3), benzoyloxokadsuranol (4), propoxyloxokadsuranol (5), kadsutherin C (6), heteroclitin E (7), schiarisanrin C (8), heteroclitin J (9), kadsuphilin J (10), propindilactone J (11), kadcoccilactone C (12), kadsuphilactone B (13), wuweizidilactone D (14), and wuweizidilactone H (15). Conclusion: All compounds are isolated from K. longipedunculata for the first time, and compounds 1, 2, 11, and 14 are isolated from the genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. for the first time, compounds 1 and 2 are new natural products.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the roots of Kadsura longipedunculata. Methods: The constituents were isolated and purified by various chromatographic methods, and the structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Results: Sixteen compounds were isolated from the roots of K. longipedunculata and the structures were identified as pinobatol (1), leptolepisol B (2), 7S,8R-erythro-4,7,9,9'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-8-O-4'-neolignan (3), 2,3-bis-(α-hydroxy-4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-butane-1,4-diol (4), (7'S,8R,8'S)-4,4',9-trihydroxy-3,3',5-trimethoxy-9'-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-2,7'-cyclo-lignan (5), aviculin (6), ent-isolariciresinol (7), lawsorosemarinol (8), (+)-anwulignan (9), isolariciresinol-2α-O-β-D-xyloside (10), procyanidin B3 (11), prodelphinidin B3 (12), (-)-gallocatechin (13), (+)-catechin (14), abscisic acid-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (15), and (-)-oleuropeic acid 8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (16). Conclusion: Compounds 1-8, 11-13, 15, and 16 are isolated from the plants of Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. for the first time.
