RESUMO

A novel benzofuranone unprecedentedly with a prenyl group at C-3, nigranol A (1), a new flavonol, nigranol B (2), and three known compounds, sanggenon M (3), nigrasin C (4), and nigrasin A (5) were isolated from the twigs of Morus nigra Linn. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of the analysis of multiple spectroscopic data. All of the compounds, along with eight previously isolated ones (6-13) were investigated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. The result showed that compounds 1-13 except 4 exhibited prominent inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase. Among them, compounds 2 and 7 were the best α-glucosidase inhibitory candidates with IC50 values at 1.63 and 1.43 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the structure-activity relationships of the sanggenon-type flavanones were summarized.

RESUMO

Selenium (Se) is one of the essential elements required to maintain human health. Although various kinds of Se supplements are now available on the market, their biological activities and toxicities vary based on the transportation characteristics of Se. In this study, we compared the absorption and distribution of Se in rats administered with different Se supplements: Se-enriched Bifidobacterium longum DD98 (Se-DD98), selenized yeast (Se-Y), and sodium selenite (Na2SeO3). Se-DD98, Se-Y, and Na2SeO3 were orally administered to rats. The plasma Se content at different time points after administration was determined within 72 h. Pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed to reveal the absorption of Se. Se-DD98, Se-Y, and Na2SeO3 were also repeatedly administered by oral gavage for 30 days, and Se content of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and muscle was determined to analyze the distribution of Se. The results showed that the organic Se supplements (Se-DD98 and Se-Y) were more easily absorbed into the blood and retained longer in the plasma than the inorganic Na2SeO3 was. Moreover, Se-DD98 induced better absorption of Se in plasma than Se-Y did. Furthermore, significantly higher concentrations of Se were found in the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and muscle of rats administered with organic Se supplements (Se-DD98 and Se-Y) than those administered the inorganic Na2SeO3. Rats administered Se-DD98 accumulated more Se in the spleen, lung, and kidney than those administered Se-Y, while Se-Y led to higher concentration of Se in the liver compared to Se-DD98. These results suggest that the organic form of Se was better absorbed and accumulated than the inorganic form was. Se-enriched B. longum DD98 induced greater absorption of Se in plasma and accumulation of Se in several organs than the selenized yeast did, which could suggest the potential superior nutritional function of Se-DD98.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of a novel selenium-enriched Bifidobacterium longum DD98 (Se-B. longum DD98) supplement food and its repairing effects on the intestinal ecology of mammals. We assessed the growth, Se accumulation, and Se biotransformation of B. longum DD98 and its effects on antibiotic-induced intestinal dysbacteriosis in mice. The viable bacterial count at the end of fermentation was not significantly affected by the presence of Se. Bifidobacterium longum DD98 took up inorganic Se from the medium and biotransformed it into Se-containing proteins and selenoamino acids. The dominant Se species was selenomethionine (SeMet), which comprised 87% of the total Se in Se-B. longum DD98. Furthermore, Se-B. longum DD98 showed better regulation of the disrupted intestinal microbiota back to normal levels and repaired damaged colon tissues compared to the natural recovery and B. longum DD98 treatments. These findings suggest that B. longum DD98 efficiently biotransformed inorganic Se into more bioactive organic Se forms and may have therapeutic potential for the restoration of antibiotic-induced intestinal dysbacteriosis.

RESUMO

An undescribed isoprenylated flavonol racemate, nigranol C, with an unprecedented 7/6/6 ring system, was isolated from the twigs of Morus nigra L. The structure was assigned through a comprehensive analysis of HRMS, IR, and NMR data. Chiral separation of nigranol C was successfully carried out to yield a pair of enantiomers, nigranol C-a and nigranol C-b, whose absolute configurations were determined by ECD calculation. A plausible biogenetic pathway for nigranol C was proposed. A previously isolated sanggenon-type flavonone racemate, nigragenon E, was also well resolved by chiral HPLC to offer another pair of enantiomers, nigragenon E-a and nigragenon E-b, whose stereo configurations were determined by ECD data. All of the isolated compounds showed prominent α-glucosidase inhibitory activities with IC50 values ranging from 9.79 to 30.21 µM, while only the sanggenon-type flavonones exhibited tyrosinase inhibitory effects comparable to that of the positive control, kojic acid, the IC50 value of which was 27.14 µM. In addition, it was found that the stereo configurations of these compounds seemed to play a negligible role in their inhibitory activities towards the two enzymes.

RESUMO

Gnaphalium affine D. Don, a medicinal and edible plant, has been used to treat gout in traditional Chinese medicine and popularly consumed in China for a long time. A detailed phytochemical investigation on the aerial part of G. affine led to the isolation of two new esters of caffeoylquinic acid named (-) ethyl 1, 4-di-O-caffeoylquinate (1) and (-) methyl 1, 4-di-O-caffeoylquinate (2), together with 35 known compounds (3-37). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data and first-order multiplet analysis. All the isolated compounds were tested for their xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity with an in vitro enzyme inhibitory screening assay. Among the tested compounds, 1 (IC50 11.94 µmol·L-1) and 2 (IC50 15.04 µmol·L-1) showed a good inhibitory activity. The current results supported the medical use of the plant.

RESUMO

A novel dihydroflavonol unprecedentedly with a prenyl group at C-2, nigragenon A (1), four new sanggenon-type flavonones, nigragenons B-E (2-5), along with six known isoprenylated flavonoids (6-11) were isolated from the twigs of Morus nigra. Their structures were elucidated through extensive analysis of spectroscopic data. Interestingly, compound 1 was the first reported biogenetic precursor of sanggenon-type flavanones and the biogenetic pathway from 1 to sanggenol F was proposed. The PPAR γ agonistic activity was investigated in HEK293 cells using dual luciferase reporter assay. Compounds 2, 4, 7, and 9 showed obvious agonistic activities on PPAR γ, and compound 2 was a potential PPAR γ partial agonist. Moreover, the preliminary structure-activity relationships for the tested compounds were discussed.

RESUMO

The aim of the study was to investigate the anti-proliferation and apoptosis-inducing effects of S1, a novel tetrandrine derivative, in human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells and explore the possible mechanism of action. The anti-proliferative activity was determined by MTT assay; the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Quantitative real time RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to evaluate the mRNA and protein expression levels in mitochondrial pathway. S1 significantly reduced cell viability and induced a G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis in dose- and time-dependent manner. Further studies showed that S1 increased mRNA and protein expression of Bax and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Moreover, S1 decreased the protein expression of procaspase-9 and procaspase-3, suggesting that the induction of apoptosis may be related to the alteration of the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and the activation of caspases. These findings suggested that S1 merits further investigation as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of human gastric cancer.

RESUMO

Tetrandrine possesses antitumor activity, however, only a few studies on its structure modification were reported. To improve the antitumor activity of tetrandrine, 20 new tetrandrine derivatives were designed and synthesized by Sonogashira and Suzuki reactions. Their antitumor activities were evaluated against three tumor cell lines including A549, HepG2, and BGC-823 by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay with taxol as a positive control. The results showed that compounds 2c and 2g were highly potent against BGC-823 cell line, and compounds 1i and 1k showed particular activity against HepG2 cells. These results demonstrated that compounds 1i, 1k, 2c, and 2g were promising leads for further investigation.

RESUMO

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Corydalis decumbens, a Traditional Chinese Medicine listed in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, is clinically used for the treatment of paralytic stroke, headache, rheumatic arthritis and sciatica in China. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study was aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of protopine, tetrahydropalmatine, bicuculline, and egenine in three formulations prepared from the rhizomes of Corydalis decumbens. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Alkaloid extract (CDAs-SFE) was prepared from the rhizomes of Corydalis decumbens by supercritical CO2 fluid extraction; CDAs-SFE/HPßCD (hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin inclusion complex), and CDAs-SFE/HCl (hydrochloride freeze-dried powder) were resulted from CDAs-SFE through complexation with HPßCD and hydrochloride, respectively. An UFLC-MS/MS method was developed for quantitative analysis of protopine, tetrahydropalmatine, bicuculline and egenine simultaneously in rat plasma after oral administration. The differences of pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of the four alkaloids in three formulations were determined by pharmacokinetics analyses. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The Cmax, AUC and bioavailability of protopine and tetrahydropalamatine (bioactive components) in CDAs-SFE/HCl were significantly higher than in CDAs-SFE and in CDAs-SFE/HPßCD. In contrast, in CDAs-SFE/HPßCD, AUC and bioavailability of tetrahydropalamatine were significantly lower, while those of bicuculline (toxic compound) appeared to be higher than both in CDAs-SFE and in CDAs-SFE/HCl. The results indicated that CDAs-SFE/HCl was the best beneficial formulation among the three formulations for the alkaloid extract prepared from the rhizomes of Corydalis decumbens, in which protopine and tetrahydropalamatine displayed higher bioavailability, but lower for bicuculline.
