At the same time, various laboratories have found that it has the potential to treat ischemic heart failure, lower extremity varicose veins, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, and hyperlipidemia. Previous studies in our laboratory have found that different concentrations of ethanol were used to separate the polar components of Buyang-Huanwu decoction, and the therapeutic effects of each group on pulmonary fibrosis and hyperlipidemia were different. Therefore, we analyzed and explored Buyang Huanwu decoction and its products. Methods: The isolated components were obtained by treatment with absolute ethanol, 30% (v/v), 50% (v/v), 75% (v/v), and 90% (v/v) ethanol, and the components were analyzed by UPLC-MS. Results: The separation method used in our laboratory could well separate the components of Buyang Huanwu Decoction, and simply enrich carbohydrates, organic acids, phenylpropanoid compounds, lipids, nucleotides, and lignans. Conclusions: The products treated with different concentrations of ethanol have different therapeutic potentials. The high content components of 30% ethanol eluate and 50% ethanol eluate have good therapeutic effects on osteoarthritis and bone loss, while the high content components of the precipitate components and 75% eluate are more likely to be related to glucose and lipid metabolism disorders and cardiovascular diseases.","PeriodicalId":19019,"journal":{"name":"Natural Product Communications","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approximately 3.6 million tons of citrus waste are disposed of annually after processing, despite most bioactive molecules being found in fruit peels. Objectives/methodology: This work explored the biochemical and carbohydrate polymer profile of methanolic extract of the soft, spongy Citrus reticulata ( C. reticulata) albedo through proximate analysis, antioxidant and scavenging potential analysis, carbohydrate analysis, antioxidant enzyme and genotoxicity analysis, which were further quantified by MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Results: The results revealed that the citrus albedo comprised an ample amount of ash (3.30 g/100<jats:sup>−g</jats:sup> of fresh weight (FW), moisture (52.67 g/100<jats:sup>−g</jats:sup> FW), fiber (30.80 g/100<jats:sup>−g</jats:sup> FW), lipid (5.58 g/100<jats:sup>−g</jats:sup> FW), protein (9.62 Kcal/ 100<jats:sup>−g</jats:sup> FW) and carbohydrate contents, ie, pectin (18.5 mg/g of dry weight (DW), glucosamine (5.05 mg/g DW), maltose (6.5 mg/g DW), D-xylose (35.5 mg/g DW), cellulose (12.2 mg/g DW), total soluble sugars (13.5 mg/g DW), starch (29% w/w). The antioxidant enzyme exhibited excellent activities (23.06 IU/mL for superoxide dismutase, 37.10 IU/mL for catalase and 1.27 IU/mL for peroxidase). The bioactive molecules of the citrus albedo showed maximum total phenolic content (TPC) (2.30 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/ g DW), total flavonoid contents (TFC) (1.71 mg quercetin equivalent (QE)/ g DW) and scavenging potential (50.67% inhibition) when used at a higher concentration of 100 mg/mL. FTIR and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) findings concluded that the citrus albedo was rich in polysaccharides including pectin, glucosamine and antioxidants like caffeic acid, quercitin, naringenin, hesperidin and resveratrol. Moreover, the MTT assay showed that the hepatoblastoma cell line (HepG2) underwent apoptosis after 72-h exposure to C. reticulata albedo extract at varied concentrations. Conclusion: These findings suggest that citrus albedo can be a potential chemotherapeutic agent against hepatocellular carcinoma.","PeriodicalId":19019,"journal":{"name":"Natural Product Communications","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blanche. is one of the significant medicinal plants extensively utilized in folk medicine in Syria. So, this study aimed to identify the chemical components with potential pharmacological properties of essential oils extracted from the aerial parts of the Syrian P. longifolia plant for the first time. Methods: The aerial parts of the plant were collected from a mountainous area in Latakia Province, Syria. Subsequently, the essential oils were obtained using hydrodistillation with a yield of (0.14% for flowers, 0.075% for calyxes, and 0.19% for leaves) using a Clevenger-type apparatus and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results: A total of 63, 61, and 48 compounds, which represent (98.0%, 97.1%, and 97.9%) of the total oils, were identified for flowers, calyxes, and leaves, respectively. The major compounds identified in the flower's essential oil were: widdrol (29.8%), β-caryophyllene (9.7%), and (E)-nerolidyl acetate (5.8%). While in the calyx's essential oil were: (E)-nerolidyl acetate (8.6%), α-humulene (8.1%), and β-caryophyllene (7.7%). As for the leave's essential oil were: (E)-nerolidyl acetate (11.4%), β-caryophyllene (9.5%), α-amorphene (8.8%), caryophyllene oxide (6.7%), α-humulene (5.3%), and 3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-one (5.2%). Additionally, the majority of the identified compounds have various biological activities, according to the published literature. Conclusion: In this work, the chemical composition of essential oils extracted from the aerial parts of P. longifolia was determined for the first time by GC-MS. Terpenes were the dominant chemical content of essential oils (83.3% for flowers, 72.7% for calyxes, and 80.9 for leaves), and sesquiterpenes had the highest concentration among them (77.3% for flowers, 65.7% for calyxes, and 77.1% for leaves).

Adzuki bean-derived polyphenols, such as (+)-catechin 7- O- β-d-glucopyranoside (C7G) and (+)-epicatechin 7- O- β-d-glucopyranoside (E7G), could be potential inhibitors of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, however, few studies of the activity of adzuki polyphenols have been performed in vivo. Thus, we evaluated the antihyperglycemic effects of crude adzuki bean extract containing polyphenols (ABP), and purified C7G or E7G using mice and Caco-2 cells.MethodsSix-week-old male ICR mice were orally administered ABP (100 or 250 mg/kg), C7G or E7G (15 or 40 mg/kg), and sucrose (2 g/kg). Blood samples were taken from the lateral tail vein to measure the blood glucose levels at various times over 0–120 min. Cultured caco-2 cells, an intestinal model, were treated with ABP, C7G, or E7G. The glucose concentration in the medium was measured to examine the activity of α-glucosidase.ResultsAdministration of adzuki polyphenols decreased blood glucose levels, especially E7G administration significantly showed antihyperglycemic effects in vivo. In Caco-2 cells, α-glucosidase activity was significantly decreased by ABP, C7G, or E7G addition in a dose-dependent manner without cytotoxicity.ConclusionThese results suggest that C7G and E7G in adzuki bean extract inhibited sucrose-degrading enzymes to elicit antihyperglycemic effects in vivo, which supports the results of previous studies using adzuki beans, and may contribute to health promotion.","PeriodicalId":19019,"journal":{"name":"Natural Product Communications","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neuroinflammation is a common feature of aging brains and neurodegenerative diseases. Inflammasome-related neuroinflammation is involved in the progression of PD. Methods: The effects of cimifugin was investigated in a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced mouse model of PD. Cimifugin is one of the main components of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischkin. Behavioral tests, such as the rotarod, pole, and traction tests, were conducted to measure the recovery effects of Parkinson-related motor deficiencies. Results: Our analyses showed that cimifugin treatment mitigates motor dysfunction in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, cimifugin conferred neuroprotection by increasing the survival of dopaminergic neurons, as measured by tyrosine hydroxylase immunostaining. Neuroinflammation was reduced by cimifugin by inhibiting NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3)/caspase-1/interleukin 1β signaling in the MPTP-insulted SN. Moreover, monosodium urate crystals, an NLRP3 agonist, reversed cimifugin-induced improvement in motor function in the PD model.
