ABSTRACT
Phyllanthi Fructus is a dried and ripe fruit that comes from Phyllanthus emblica of Euphorbiaceae. It is a characteristic Chinese and Tibetan medicine and one of homologous varieties of medicine and food with the breeding potential and development value. Abundant patents of P. emblica have been applied in recent years, which have advantages in food and beverages with rich downstream product development. However, the upstream industry chain has weak patent protection with low patents conversion rate, and the basic research of patent application is weak. Therefore, technological breakthroughs and technical protection in the upstream and middle reaches of the industrial chain should be strengthened. At the same time, the quality of patents should be improved, the status of varieties of P. emblica should be enhanced, the collaboration between industry, university and research institute should be strengthened and the basic and applied research should be improved. Based on the Incopat global patent database, the combination of patent analysis method and SWOT analysis method was used to analyze the status and development trends of domestic and foreign patents applications in P. emblica industrial chain, with a view to providing a reference for the development and utilization of P. emblica in the new era, industry chain patent layout and related industries, and the improvement of international competitiveness.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents and its anti-inflammtory activity effect of Phyllanthus emblica. Methods: The chemical constituents of P. emblica were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography, ODS column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography and recrystallization method. Through their spectra data, physical and chemical properties analysis, the structures of those compounds with high content were identified. LPS-induced RAW264.7 inflammatory cell model was established to evaluate the effect of compounds in P. emblica on proinflammatory factors (NO, IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1) of RAW264.7 inflammatory cells. Results: Totally, 14 compounds were isolated from P. emblica. and idetified as isovanillic acid (1), trans-cinnamic acid (2), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3), coniferyl aldehyde (4), quercetin (5), kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnose (6), naringenin (7), 2-hydroxy-3-methyl phenylpropiolate (8), hydroquinone (9), myricetin (10), 2-furoic acid (11), methyl gallate (12), protocatechuic acid (13), gallic acid (14). The experiment of anti-inflammatroy effects showed that those compounds had different inhibitory effects on the production of inflammatory factors NO, IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1. Conclusion: Compounds 1, 3, 4, 8-11 and 13 are isolated from P emblica for the first time. The anti-inflammatory effect of P. emblica is related to its phenolic acids.

ABSTRACT
Valproic acid (VPA), widely used in treating epileptic patients, can damage reproductive parameters causing male infertility. This study aimed to investigate protective effect of Phyllanthus emblica L. branch (PE) extract on rat testicular damage induced with VPA. Male rats were divided into 6 groups (control, VPA, 250 mg/kgBW PE only, and 50, 100, 250 mg/kgBW PE+VPA, respectively). Animals were pretreated with PE for 23 days and co-administered with VPA for 10 days before all reproductive parameters were determined. The results showed all doses of PE significantly protected the decrease testicular weight and testosterone level in VPA rats. PE significantly improved the decrease sperm concentration in VPA treated rats. Moreover, testicular histology of PE+VPA groups showed declining of testicular histopathologies as compared to VPA group. Therefore, it seems that PE branch extract can prevent testicular damages including male reproductive parameters in rats induced with VPA.
El ácido valproico (AVP) es utilizado frecuentemente en el tratamiento de pacientes epilépticos y puede dañar los parámetros reproductivos que causan la infertilidad masculina. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar el efecto protector de la rama Phyllanthus emblica L. (PE) sobre el daño testicular de ratas inducidas con AVP. Ratas machos fueron divididas en 6 grupos (control, AVP, PE 250 mg/kg peso corporal, APV+ PE 50, 100, 250 mg/kg peso corporal, respectivamente). Los animales fueron pretratados con PE durante 23 días y se administró AVP durante 10 días antes de medir todos los parámetros reproductivos. Los resultados mostraron que todas las dosis de PE protegen significativamente el peso y los niveles reducidos de testosterona testicular en ratas con AVP. El extracto de PE mejoró significativamente la concentración de espermatozoides en ratas tratadas con AVP. Por otra parte, la histología testicular de los grupos PE+AVP mostró disminución de la histopatología testicular en comparación con el grupo tratado sólo con AVP. Por lo tanto, parece que el extracto de la rama PE puede prevenir daños testiculares incluyendo los parámetros reproductores masculinos en ratas inducidas con AVP.

Objective: To study the protection of extract from Phyllanthus emblica (EPE) on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and its mechanism. Methods: Male SD rats were divided into six groups such as Sham, model, Ginkgo biloba extract (100 mg/kg, positive control), low-, mid-, and high-dose (crude drug 6.0, 3.0, and 1.5 g/kg) EPE groups. The rats in the treatment groups were ig administered once daily for 10 d. On day 10 the focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rat model was established using middle cerebral artery occlusion method. After the model establishment, the neurological function scores were observed, the infarct size was measured by TTC staining, and the contents of SOD, MDA, NO, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS, and NF-κB in brain tissue were measured. Results: Compared with the model group, EPE could significantly reduce the neurological function scores (P < 0.05), decrease the cerebral infarct size (P < 0.05), increase the activity of SOD (P < 0.05), and reduce the contents of MDA, NO, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS, and NF-κB (P < 0.05) in brain tissue. Conclusion: EPE has the significant protection on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats due to increasing the anti-oxidant activity and inhibiting the inflammatory reaction.
