Résumé
@#Eubhorbia neriifolia L. is a plant of Euphorbia family.Five known lignans were isolated from the aerial parts of E. neriifolia L. by silica gel for column chromatography and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Their potential antitumor activities were evaluated in vitro.Compound 2 exhibited proliferation inhibition and cytotoxicity against esophageal squamous cancer cells, especially KYSE-410 and KYSE-450 cells.Further analyses showed that compound 2 could significantly induce apoptosis through the activation of caspase 3/9 and down-regulation of the Bcl-2/Bax protein ratio.These results suggested that compound 2 had a significant inhibitory effect on the esophageal squamous cancer cells, especially KYSE-410, which deserves further research as a potential antitumor agent.
Résumé
Aim To study the anti-inflammatory activity of the Channa argus bile.Methods The bile was isolated and purified by extraction and silica gel column chromatography.Then the compounds were identified by hydrogen and carbon spectra.The spleen lymphocytes proliferation assay and Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) induced mouse macrophage RAW264.7 releasing Nitrogen Monoxide(NO) experiment were used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity.Results Compound(C1) of sodium taurocholate and compound(C2) of sodium taurochenodeoxycholate were isolated by activity tracing.The cell relative viabilities of the two compounds on Concanavalin A(Con A) induced spleen lymphocytes proliferation assay were 65.9%±11.7% and 60.5%±9.4%, which were significantly different from the result of model group (P<0.01), respectively.The NO production of LPS-induced RAW264.7 release of NO was (16.4±1.9) μmol·L-1 and (15.5±1.7) μmol·L-1, which were significantly different from the result of model group(P<0.01).Conclusion Sodium taurocholate and sodium taurochenodeoxycholate from Channa argus perform the anti-inflammatory activities but have no cytotoxic effect on spleen lymphocytes and macrophage.
