Antioxidant and antihepatotoxic effect of Spirulina laxissima against carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity in rats

The vast biodiversity of nature provides bioactive compounds that may be useful in the fight against chronic diseases. This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of the ethanol extract of Spirulina laxissima West (Pseudanabaenaceae) (EESL) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxicities in rats. Male albino rats of Sprague-Dawley strain were treated orally with the ethanol extract of S. laxissima (50, 100 mg kg(-1) body wt.) 1 h before each CCl4 administration. The ethanol extract of S. laxissima showed the maximum antioxidant property in vitro. There were statistically significant losses in the activities of antioxidant enzymes and an increase in TBARS and liver function marker enzymes in the serum of the CCl4-treated group compared with the control group. However, all the tested groups were able to counteract these effects. The antioxidant activity of the extracts might be attributable to its proton-donating ability, as evidenced by DPPH. In the present study, the decline in the level of antioxidant observed in CCl4-treated rats is a clear manifestation of excessive formation of radicals and activation of the lipid peroxidation system resulting in tissue damage. The significant increases in the concentration of antioxidant enzymes in tissues of animals treated with CCl4 + EESL indicate the antioxidant effect of EESL. This study suggests that EESL can protect the liver against CCl4-induced oxidative damage in rats, and the hepatoprotective effect might be correlated with its antioxidant and radical-scavenging effects.

Antitumor and antioxidant status of Terminalia catappa against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in Swiss albino mice

Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antitumor and antioxidant status of ethanol extract of Terminalia catappa leaves against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice. Materials and Methods: The leaves powder was extracted with Soxhlet apparatus and subjected to hot continuous percolation using ethanol (95% v/v). Tumor bearing animals was treated with 50 and 200 mg/kg of ethanol extract. EAC induced in mice by intraperitoneal injection of EAC cells 1 x 10(6) cells/mice. The study was assed using life span of EAC-bearing hosts, hematological parameters, volume of solid tumor mass and status of antioxidant enzymes such as lipid peroxidation (LPO), reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities. Total phenolics and flavonoids contents from the leaves extract were also determined. Results: Total phenolics and flavonoids contents from the leaves extract were found 354.02 and 51.67 mg/g extract. Oral administration of ethanol extract of T. catappa (50 and 200 mg/kg) increased the life span (27.82% and 60.59%), increased peritoneal cell count (8.85 +/- 0.20 and 10.37 +/- 0.26) and significantly decreased solid tumor mass (1.16 +/- 0.14 cm(2)) at 200 mg/kg as compared with EAC-tumor bearing mice (P < 0.01). Hematological profile including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, hemoglobin (11.91 +/- 0.47 % g) and protein estimation were found to be nearly normal levels in extract-treated mice compared with tumor bearing control mice. Treatment with T. catappa significantly decreased levels of LPO and GSH, and increased levels of SOD and CAT activity (P < 0.01). Conclusion: T. catappa exhibited antitumor effect by modulating LPO and augmenting antioxidant defense systems in EAC bearing mice. The phenolic and flavonoid components in this extract may be responsible for antitumor activity.

Avaliação do potencial anti-inflamatório agudo e crônico e imunossupressor do extrato etanólico de Pterodon polygalaeflorus através de estudos in vivo e in vitro

O gênero Pterodon pertence à família das Papilonaceas e inclui cinco espécies nativas do Brasil: P. pubescens Benth., P. emarginatus Vog., P. apparicioi Pedersoli e P. abruptus Benth., sendo a espécie objeto deste estudo a P. polygalaeflorus Benth.. Seus frutos são livremente comercializados em mercados da flora medicinal e utilizados pela medicina popular devido a propriedades anti-reumática, analgésica, antiinflamatória, dentre outros efeitos associados a esses frutos. O principal uso popular está relacionado ao efeito antiartrítico que parece se encontrar na fração oleosa do fruto. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o extrato etanólico de Pterodon polygalaeflorus (EEPpg) quanto ao seu potencial antiinflamatório crônico através do modelo de artrite induzida por colágeno (CIA) e seu efeito sobre os linfócitos in vitro, bem como sobre a expansão de células MAC-1+ induzida por adjuvante completo de Freund (AFC). A caracterização química do EEPpg foi realizada por cromatografia em camada delgada (TLC), cromatografia líquida de alta performance (HPLC) e cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectrômetro de massa (GC-MS), através dos quais uma gama de compostos, incluindo terpenóides de polaridades variadas e flavonóides, foram observados. No modelo de CIA, o EEPpg reduziu significativamente parâmetros associados ao desenvolvimento e progressão da doença e à severidade da doença , inibindo em até 99% o seu desenvolvimento e levando a ausência de sinais clínicos evidentes após tratamento com as menores doses do extrato (0,01 mg/kg e 0,001 mg/kg). O tratamento com EEPpg também reduziu características histopatológicas típicas de articulações de animais com CIA, que também são observadas na artrite reumatóide. O EEPpg reduziu significativamente o peso dos linfonodos dos camundongos, bem como o número absoluto de segmentados, monócitos e linfócitos no sangue. In vitro, O EEPpg mostrou uma atividade anti-proliferativa dos esplenócitos estimulados com concanavalina A (Con A) ou lipopolissacarídeo (LPS) analisada através do ensaio de redução do sal de tetrazólio MTT, corroborada pelo seu efeito sobre o ciclo celular de linfócitos estimulados com Con A, onde o EEPpg nas concentrações de 5, 10 e 20 μg/mL reduziu significativamente, de maneira concentração-dependente, o número de células nas fases S+G2/M e aumentou na fase G0/G1 do ciclo celular. O efeito anti-proliferativo do EEPpg parece também estar associado ao aumento da apoptose dos linfócitos após estimulação com Con A, com aumento estatisticamente significativo no percentual de células mortas por apoptose nas maiores concentrações . O EEPpg inibiu a expansão de células Mac-1+ induzida por AFC no baço, porém não no peritônio. Esse resultado sugere um efeito inibidor do EEPpg sobre a migração celular para as articulações artríticas. Esses resultados contribuem para a validação do uso popular de P. polygalaeflorus contra doenças relacionadas a processos inflamatórios e imunes, sobretudo na artrite reumatóide, antes nunca demonstrado.

毛蕊异黄酮类似物的合成及其对JAK/STAT信号途径调控的构效关系研究

干扰素（IFNs）是最早发现的具有广泛用途的一类细胞因子，IFN-α通过JAK/STAT信号途径调控机体一系列生理和病理反应。至今尚未发现类干扰素的小分子。我们前期研究发现天然产物毛蕊异黄酮可激活干扰素诱导的JAK/STAT信号途径。为发现类干扰素小分子、获得小分子探针，本课题拟建立成熟的JAK/STAT信号途径的筛选模型，合成毛蕊异黄酮及其类似物，研究这些化合物的构效关系，进而尝试通过共价键标记生物素或香豆素来直接研究它们与相关受体的作用。 从异香草醛出发经7步合成反应得到了毛蕊异黄酮。采用平行合成策略得到异黄酮类化合物；采用分支式合成策略，以取代苯乙酸作为合成砌块，获得具有与异黄酮类似结构的香豆素、3-芳基喹诺酮。与分离得到的黄酮类化合物，构建了一个包括异黄酮、黄酮、香豆素、3-芳基喹诺酮在内的化合物库。 建立了包含IFN-α刺激反应元件 (ISRE)的荧光素酶报告基因体系，通过筛选化合物库中的化合物，发现异黄酮骨架为激活JAK/STAT信号途径必须结构、毛蕊异黄酮7-位酚羟基被取代后活性丧失。根据以上结果，对毛蕊异黄酮3′-位标记物的合成进行了初步尝试。 发现山茱萸科植物青荚叶(Helwingia japonica (Thunb.) Dietr.)有抑制蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酯酶1B（PTP1B）的活性。从其地上部分95%乙醇提取物的乙酸乙酯部分分离得到5个化合物,应用波谱方法及与已知品对照的手段鉴定它们为p-menth-2-en-1β, 4β, 8-triol (Z-1)、blumenol A (Z-2)、2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-五羟基查尔酮(Z-3)、洋芹素7-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷(Z-4)、木犀草素7-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷(Z-5). Interferons (IFNs) are one kind of cytokines with broad functions. IFN-α mediates series physiological and pathological changes of human body via JAK/STAT pathway. Untill now, no IFNs-like small molecules are discovered. In our preliminary experiment, the natural product calycosin has been observed to activate JAK/STAT pathway. Therefore, we establish a luciferase reporter gene system and synthesize calycosin and its analogues to reveal their structure-activity relationship (SAR). Besides, in order to prove that calycosin activates JAK/STAT pathway through IFN receptor, we attempted to tag it with biotin or coumarin by covalent bonding. Calycosin was synthesized from isovanillin via seven steps. Other isoflavones were obtained by parallel synthesis; coumarins and quinolones were prepared through divergent synthesis, using substituted phenylacetic acids as building blocks. Combing with natural flavones, a small molecule library was established. A luciferase reporter gene system, consisting of 5 copies of the ISRE (interferon-stimulated response element), was used for screening of small molecules from that library. We found that the core-structure of isoflavone was necessary, and if the 7-OH is substituted, the activity slumps. According to our observation, we tried to tag biotin or coumarin at 3′-OH of calycosin. The 95% ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Helwingia japonica (Thunb.) Dietr. showed protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity. Five compounds were isolated. On the basis of spectral data or by comparison with authentic samples, they were identified as p-menth-2-en-1β,4β,8-triol (1), blumenol A (2), 2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-pentahydroxychalcone (3), apigenin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), and luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5).

In the first and the second parts, thechemical constituents from the flower buds of Eugenia caryophyllata and therhizomes of Cimicifuga foetida were reported. The third part is a review on astructure-activity relationship of the cycloartane triterpenoid from Cimicifuga species. The first part is composed of two chapters. The chapter 1 is about the isolationand identification of the chemical constituents from the flower buds of E.caryophyllata. A new phenolic glucoside gallate, methyl 2-O-(6’-O-galloyl)-b-D-glucopyranosylbenzoate (24), together with thirty-three known compounds has beenisolated from the ethanol extract of the flower buds of E. caryophyllata throughrepeated column chromatography on normal and reversed phase silica gel. Thestructure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of spectral and chemicalevidence. Those kno wn compounds were belonged to flavone, triterpenoid, tannin andsome simple compounds. Among them, 12 compounds were isolated from the titleplant for the first time. The second chapter describes the capillary GC-MS analysis ofthe volatile components and the HPLC-MS/MS analysis of the polar constituents fromthe flower buds of E. caryophyllata, in order to detect the main constituents in thecrude extract rapidly and precisely. The third chapter is about the chemical constituents of the rhizomes C. foetida, atraditional Chinese medicine which was used as anti-inflammatory, analgesic andantipyretic agents. Our investigation of the bioactivities constituents of the rhizomesof C. foetida led to the isolation of five new cycloartane triterpenoids, which werecharacterized as cimicidol-3-one (38), 3'-O-acetyl cimicifugoside H-1 (41),2'-O-acetyl cimicifugoside H-1 (42), (3b,12b,16b)-12-acetoxy-16,23-epoxy-9,19-cyclolanost-22-ene-24-one 3-O-b-D-xylopyranoside (44) and cimicifugadine (54),along with fifteen known compounds through repeated column chromatography onnormal and reversed phase silica gel.

本论文由三章组成。第一章介绍了中药蜘蛛香的化学成分的研究成果，第二章为羧甲基魔芋葡苷聚糖-壳聚糖为细胞膜的天冬酰胺酶人工细胞的研究，第三章综述了人工细胞在生物医学领域的应用。 第一章报道了中药蜘蛛香（Valeriana wallichii）根部乙醇提取物的化学成分，采用正、反相硅胶层析等分离方法和MS、NMR等多种波谱手段，从中共分离鉴定出17个化合物，分别为缬草素(valtrate，1)，valechlorine（2），homobadrinal（3），baldrinal（4），乙酰缬草素(acevaltrate 5)，valeriotetrate C（6），valeriotetrate B（7），对羟基苯乙酮(4'-hydroxy-acetophenone 8)，7-hydroxy valtrate（9），8-methylvalepotriate（10），1,5-dihydroxy-3,8-epoxyvalechlorine A（11），二氢缬草素(didrovaltrate 12)，胡萝卜苷（13），橙皮苷 (hesperidin 14)，prinsepiol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside（15），longiflorone（16），乙基糖苷（17）。其中化合物6、7、10、和11为新化合物，化合物9、15、16为首次从该植物中得到。新化合物11为含有氯原子的刚性骨架环烯醚萜，并且确定了其绝对构型。 第二章报道了以羧甲基魔芋葡苷聚糖（CKGM）和壳聚糖（CS）为膜的固定化L-天冬酰胺酶人工细胞研究成果。利用羧甲基魔芋葡苷聚糖和壳聚糖两种生物相容性很好的天然多糖之间的静电吸引力，在非常温和的条件下制备成具有半透过性膜的人工细胞，将治疗儿童急性成淋巴细胞性白血病(ALL)的药物L-天冬酰胺酶包裹在内。通过考察温度和pH对人工细胞的影响,结果表明以CKGM- CS为膜的L-天冬酰胺酶人工细胞对温度和pH的稳定性和耐受性均高于自由酶，说明CKGM-CS对酶具有保护作用，而且小分子底物和产物可以自由进出膜内外，而包裹在膜内的生物大分子则不能泄露出来。 第三章综述了微囊化人工细胞的研究进展。 This dissertation consists of three parts. In the first part, the chemical constituents from the root of Valeriana wallichii were reported. In the second part, preparation and characteristics of L-Asparaginase Artificial cell were reported. The third part is a review on progress of microcapsule artificial cell. The first chapter is about the isolation and identification of the chemical constituents from the root of V. wallichii. Seventeen compounds were isolated from the ethanol extract of roots of V. wallichii through repeated column chromatography on normal and reversed phase silica gel. By the spectroscopic and chemical evidence, their structures were elucidated as valtrate (1), valechlorine (2), homobadrinal (3), baldrinal (4), acevaltrate (5), valeriotetrate C (6), valeriotetrate B (7), 4'-hydroxy-acetophenone (8), 7-hydroxy valtrate (9), 8-methylvalepotriate (10), 1,5-dihydroxy-3,8-epoxyvalechlorine A (11), didrovaltrate (12), daucosterol (13), hesperidin (14), prinsepiol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (15), longiflorone (16), and ethyl glucoside (17). Among them, 6, 7, 10, and 11 are new compounds. 15, 16 and 9 were isolated from this plant for the first time. The absolute configuration of compound 11, an unusual iridoid bearing a C-10 chlor-group and an oxo-bridge connecting C-3 and C-8 resulting in a rigid skeleton, was confirmed. The second chapter is about the semi-permeable microcapsule of carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan-chitosan for L-asparaginase immobilization. Carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan-chitosan (CKGM-CS) microcapsules, which have good biocompatibility, prepared under very mild conditions via polyelectrostatic complexation, were used for immobilize L-asparaginase-a kind of drug for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The activity and stability under different temperature and pH of the enzyme loaded-microcapsules were studied. The results indicated the immobilized enzyme has better stability and activity contrasting to the native enzyme. The study illustrates that the L-asparaginase could be protected in CKGM-CS microcapsules, the substrate and product could pass through the system freely.
