RESUMO
Consistency in quality of traditional Chinese medicine granules is an important factor to ensure reproducible clinical efficacy. In this study rhubarb dispensing granules were utilized to construct an efficacious near-infrared spectroscopy (eNIRS) assay by combining NIRS and biopotency. A NIR method for assaying rhubarb dispensing particles was established, and information on different batches was collected. The diarrhea-inducing biopotency of rhubarb dispensing granules was determined based on a constipation model induced by diphenoxylate in mice. The animal protocol was approved by the Animal Ethic Committee of 302 Hospital of Chinese PLA People's Liberation Army (ID: IACUC-2019-0010). Ten anthraquinones were determined in rhubarb dispensing granules by UPLC. The correlation between NIR and biopotency was analyzed and five characteristic bands that correlated highly with bioactivity were identified, including 4 011-4 390, 4 859-5 461, 7 012-7 493, 10 992-11 312 and 11 871-12 489 cm-1. There were some differences in the main bands of different chemical constituents. In summary, five active bands based on NIRS were identified and found to be able to achieve rapid on-line detection of rhubarb dispensing granule quality. This research model may also provide reference for quality control of other Chinese medicine dispensing granules.
RESUMO
To investigate the protective effects of oxymatrine (OMT) against H2O2-induced damage in L02 cells and research the mechanism,L02 cells were used as the research object. The oxidative stress model of L02 was established by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). CCK-8 was used to detect the cell activation of L02 cells treated by different OMT. FCM (flow cytometry) assay was used to evaluate the cell proliferation of L02 cells treated by OMT. The apoptosis of L02 cells was detected using Annexin-V/7-AAD apoptosis detection kit. The level of ROS was detected by DCFH-DA fluorescence probe. The GSH-PX and SOD were detected by micro plate and colorimetric method. Results showed that when the concentration of OMT is between 6.25 and 100 mg•L⁻¹, it could promote the production of NADPH and strengthen the activity of GSH-PX and SOD to get rid of the ROS to protect the L02 cell from the apoptosis of L02 cell induced by H2O2.
RESUMO
This paper was aimed to investigate the protective effects of luteolin (Lut) against acetaminophen（APAP）-induced damage in L02 liver cells. CCK-8 was used to detect the cell activation of L02 cells treated by different Lut. The concentration and time of APAP induced L02 cell damage was screened. The effect of Lut on APAP induced apoptosis of L02 cells was detected by cell morphological observation, CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry. The contents of MDA, GSH and SOD activity in cell supernatant were detected by colorimetric assay. The expression of apoptosis-related genes Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase-3 was detected by RT-PCR. The results showed that Lut in 2.5-40 μmol•L⁻¹ range does not affect the activity of L02 cells; 12 mmol•L⁻¹ APAP incubated with L02 cell 12 h to establish damage model. Compared with the model group, the cell status of Lut group was significantly improved, the cell body was increased, the adherence ability was recovered, and the apoptosis rate was obviously decreased. MDA content decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01), GSH and SOD activity significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), at the same time, it could up-regulate expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and down-regulate the expression of Bax and caspase-3 mRNA. In conclusion,Lut has protective effect on APAP induced L02 cell injury, and its mechanism may be related to the reduction of oxidative stress and inhibition of apoptosis.
