ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease. Keratinocytes hyperproliferation and excessive inflammatory response contribute to psoriasis pathogenesis. The agents able to attenuate keratinocytes hyper-proliferation and excessive inflammatory response are considered to be potentially useful for psoriasis treatment. Daphnetin exhibits broad bioactivities including anti-proliferation and anti-inflammatory. This study aims to evaluate the anti-psoriatic potential of daphnetin in vitro and in vivo, and explore underlying mechanisms. METHODS: HaCaT keratinocytes was stimulated with the mixture of IL-17A, IL-22, oncostatin M, IL-1α, and TNF-α (M5) to establish psoriatic keratinocyte model in vitro. Cell viability was measured using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to measure the mRNA levels of hyperproliferative marker gene keratin 6 (KRT6), differentiation marker gene keratin 1 (KRT1) and inflammatory factors IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-23A and MCP-1. Western blotting was used to detect the protein levels of p65 and p-p65. Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) was carried out to detect p65 nuclear translocation. Imiquimod (IMQ) was used to construct psoriasis-like mouse model. Psoriasis severity (erythema, scaling) was scored based on Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI). Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed to examine histological change in skin lesion. The expression of inflammatory factors including IL-6, TNF-α, IL-23A and IL-17A in skin lesion was measured by qRT-PCR. RESULTS: Daphnetin attenuated M5-induced hyperproliferation in HaCaT keratinocytes. M5 stimulation significantly upregulated mRNA levels of IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-23A and MCP-1. However, daphnetin treatment partially attenuated the upregulation of those inflammatory cytokines. Daphnetin was found to be able to inhibit p65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation in HaCaT keratinocytes. In addition, daphnetin significantly ameliorate the severity of skin lesion (erythema, scaling and epidermal thickness, inflammatory cell infiltration) in IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mouse model. Daphnetin treatment attenuated IMQ-induced upregulation of inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, IL-23A and IL-17A in skin lesion of mice. CONCLUSIONS: Daphnetin was able to attenuate proliferation and inflammatory response induced by M5 in HaCaT keratinocytes through suppression of NF-κB signaling pathway. Daphnetin could ameliorate the severity of skin lesion and improve inflammation status in IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mouse model. Daphnetin could be an attractive candidate for future development as an anti-psoriatic agent.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the dual role of daphnetin in suppressing high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) release and blocking HMGB1-induced inflammatory response.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells were cultured in the presence of daphnetin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or both. HMGB1 release from the cells was determined using ELISA, and phosphorylations of JAK1/2 and of STAT1 were detected by Western blotting. Human monocytic THP-1 cells exposed to daphnetin, rhHMGB1, or both were examined for NO production using a NO detection kit, for the release of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) using ELISA, and for expressions of iNOS, COX-2 and phosphorylated p38, ERK, and JNK with Western blotting.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Daphnetin dose-dependently reduced the release of HMGB1 in RAW264.7 cells and suppressed rhHMGB1-induced iNOS and COX-2 expressions and release of TNF-α, IL-6, PGE2, and NO in THP-1 cells. Western blotting revealed that daphnetin significantly down-regulated the phosphorylations of JAK-STAT1 pathway in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells but did not suppress the phosphorylations of MAPKs signaling pathway induced by rhHMGB1 in THP-1 cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Daphnetin can reduce the release of HMGB1 and suppress HMGB1-induced inflammatory response. In RAW264.7 cells, daphnetin inhibited LPS induced HMGB1 release is at least partly mediated by suppressing JAK-STAT1 signaling pathway activation.</p>

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Justicia pectoralis Jacq. (Acanthaceae) is medicinal plant species commonly used in Cuba for the treatment of nervous disorders because of its sedative effect. Coumarin is one of its main active phytochemicals present in the extracts obtained from this plant and used as analytic marker in quality control. On the other hand, this compound contributes to the sedative effect attributed to this plant. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the influence of harvest time on the coumarin and umbelliferone (7-hydroxycoumarin) in Justicia pectoralis extracts. METHODS: the experiment lasted two years. The harvest was performed at 4, 6 and 8 months after planting. Aqueous and hydroalcohol extracts were produced and the coumarin and umbelliferone contents were determined by high resolution liquid chromatography. RESULTS: the achieved results showed the presence of coumarin and umbelliferone in both extracts. Both methods can be used for the extraction of these components from the plant, although in the case of umbelliferone, the best extraction results were achieved by using aqueous extract. In both cases, the recovery percentages were more than 98 percent. This study confirmed that the harvest time significantly influences on the coumarin and umbelliferone contents. CONCLUSIONS: the best results are observed in the first two harvests (4 and 6 months at summer time), which indicates that the industry should process the vegetal material in these two periods of the year(AU)

ABSTRACT

This study is aimed to establish a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for simultaneous determination of skimmin, scopolin and umbelliferone in Saussurea hieracioides. Samples were analyzed on a Wondasil C18-WR column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) with methanol (A) and water containing 0.1% phosphate (B) as mobile phases for gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). The detection wavelength and column temperature were set at 325 nm and 35 degrees C, respectively, and the sample size was 10 microL. The results showed that skimmin, scopolin and umbelliferone were simultaneously achieved within 40 min under the above conditions. A good linearity was observed in the range of 0.18-5.6 microg (r = 1.000 0), 0.060-1.8 microg (r = 0.999 9), 0.032-0.97 microg (r = 0.999 8) for skimmin, scopolin and umbelliferone, respectively, with the average recoveries of 99.16% (RSD = 0.41%), 100.3% (RSD = 0.79%), 102.2% (RSD = 0.87%). The method is simple, accurate and reproducible and can be used for the quality control of S. hieracioides.

ABSTRACT

Ferula is a genus of about 130 species of flowering plants in the family Umbelliferae, of which 30 species are found in Iran. Many species of this family possess medicinal qualities and have long been used in traditional medicine. This research aims to isolate, separate and determine the structure of the compounds found in the chloroform extract of the aerial parts of Ferula hirtella. We collect F. hirtella from the site of its natural habitat in Abade, Fars Province. The chloroform extract of the aerial parts is derived and then mixture separation using Column chromatography is performed. Using Column chromatography purification methods, we were able to separate, for the first time, two coumarins, Farneciferol C and Umbelliprenin, and a steroid compound, beta-stigmasterol from the chloroform extract of the F. hirtella which were identified using C NMR and H NMR spectral data. A majority of the compounds found in the chloroform extract of the aerial parts of F. hirtella are coumarins. Separation of beta-stigmasterol from the chloroform extract of this genus was achieved for the first time

ABSTRACT

In this study, daphnetin and its major metabolites in the intestinal wall of rats were identified by liquid chromatography and quatrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry. Perfusion fluid of duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon were collected separately for 2 hours from the rat intestine following perfusion with daphnetin. The metabolites of daphnetin in the perfusion fluid of different intestine segments were analyzed by the liquid chromatography and quatrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry. It is shown that the parent drug daphnetin and four metabolites were found in the perfusion fluid of duodenum, jejunum and ileum. However, no metabolites were found in the colon. Among the four metabolites, two daphnetin sulfates (m/z 257) were first discovered as the phase II metabolites of daphnetin in rats, which revealed a new way of daphnetin metabolism in rats.

ABSTRACT

Recently, loss of endogenous glutathione during N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated excitotoxic injury, and the resultant overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through an arachidonic acid cascade process in brain, have been implicated in neuronal damage in various neurodegenerative diseases. Glutathione depletion induced by L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, is known to cause arachidonic acid-mediated excitotoxicity in primary mixed cortical cultures. The aim of this study was to investigate whether esculetin (6,7-dihydroxycoumarin), an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, protects against neurotoxicity induced by NMDA or BSO. We observed that neurotoxicity induced by NMDA but not kainic acid was attenuated by esculetin. At the same concentration (100 microM), esculetin attenuated the 45Ca2+ uptake elevation induced by NMDA. Free radical-mediated neuronal injury induced by H2O2 and xanthine/xanthine oxidase was concentration-dependently blocked by esculetin. Esculetin (1-30 microM) dose-dependently inhibited BSO-induced neuronal injury. In addition, arachidonate-induced neurotoxicity was completely blocked by esculetin. BSO also reduced glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, but did not change glutathione reductase (GR) activity 24 h after treatment. Esculetin dose-dependently increased GR activity, but did not alter GPx activity. These findings suggest that esculetin can contribute to the rescue of neuronal cells from NMDA neurotoxicity and that this protective effect occurs partly through NMDA receptor modulation and the sparing of glutathione depletion.

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effects of concentration, intestinal section, pH and P-gp on the absorption of daphnetin. The absorptions of three concentrations (10, 20, 40 microg x mL(-1)) of daphnetin in different intestinal segments were studied with phenol red as the marker by in situ rats single pass perfusion model. The results showed that daphnetin was stable under pH 6.0 condition and little affected by metabolism enzyme. There was upgrade tendency between the Peff of duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon in different concentration of daphnetin, and it has obvious difference between the high concentration and low concentration in jejunum and colon, which indicated that the absorption of daphnetin was passive diffusion and no difference in different segments of rat intestine. However, compared with colon, the absorption of small intestine was better significantly (P < 0.05). Daphnetin may be not a substrate of P-gp as verapamil had not significantly affected the absorption of daphnetin in different intestinal segments of rats.

ABSTRACT

7-prenyloxycoumarins including 7-isopentenyloxycoumarin, auraptene and umbelliprenin, and herniarin have been widely recognized as bioactive coumarins. This paper presents the ways to synthesis these compounds. 7-prenyloxycoumarins were synthesized by reaction between 7-hydroxycoumarin [1 M] and relevant prenyl bromides [1.5 M] in acetone at room temperature. The reaction was carried out in the presence of DBU [1, 8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene] [2 M]. After 24 hr. the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The compounds were purified by column chromatography. Three bioactive 7-prenyloxycoumarins, namely, umbelliprenin, auraptene and 7-isopentenyloxycoumarin, together with herniarin were synthesized from 7-hydroxycoumarin under alkaline conditions [DBU] and then purified by column chromatography. The structures of the products were characterized by NMR spectroscopic method including [1]H- and [13]C-NMR experiments. The method of synthesis for 7-prenyloxycoumarins and herniarin which is presented here has not been reported yet. Moreover, for the first time, umbelliprenin was chemically prepared in this work
