RESUMO
In this study, eleven containing gallic acid moiety derivatives of Matijin-Su(MTS)were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-HBV activities in HepG2 2.2.15 cells in an effort to find novel effective anti-hepatitis B virus(HBV)agents. Compounds 5c, 6c and 6d exhibited significant anti-HBV activity with IC50 values of 6.12, 8.44 and 9.86 μmol·L-1, respectively. Incorporation of gallic acid moiety into MTS derivatives can lead to profound changes in their anti-HBV activity, and could be worth of further research.
RESUMO
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects and mechanism of extract of Apocynum venetum (AV) on kidneys of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The indexes of the blood glucose, renal function and oxidative stress were observed. The DM rats were administrated with the AV for 8 weeks, the above-mentioned indexes were detected. The blood glucose level, BUN, 24 h urine protein excretion, urine volume, renal index, renal cortex's MDA level in model groups all increased significantly. Renal cortex's SOD and GSH activities decreased significantly compared with the normal control group (P < 0.05). The above-mentioned indexes were significantly improved by the AV treatment (P < 0.05). AV have protective effects on renal function of kidneys of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, and maybe via inhibition of the renal oxidative stress.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of hyperin on the cccDNA of duck hepatitis B virus and its immunological regulation. Duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) infection model and normal mouse spleen lymphocyte were used to evaluate the anti-HBV and immunoregulation effects. The DHBV-DNA of serum was detected at different time points by using serum DOT-BLOT hybridization. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the determination of nuclear covalent closed circular DNA (cccDNA). Cytokine secretion was determined by ELISA method. DHBV-DNA were inhibited by hyperin (25 or 50 mg x kg(-1)), while cccDNA of liver could be eliminated efficiently by hyperin (25 or 50 mg x kg(-1), P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The T helper 1 effector cytokine was markedly enhanced by hyperin (25 or 50 microg x mL(-1), P < 0.01). In conclusion, hyperin has anti-HBV activity via multiple targets and pathways, and cccDNA may be one of the important targets.
