Isopimpinellin, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties in areas beyond CAC, may target arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5). This study aims to investigate the regulation of the isopimpinellin/ALOX5 axis in CAC. CAC mouse model was induced through intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg azoxymethane and administration of 2% dextran sulfate sodium salt in drinking water. Oral isopimpinellin (50 or 100 mg/kg) was administered. ALOX5 expression was upregulated via adenovirus delivery. Non-targeted metabolomics was employed to analyze the influence of isopimpinellin on metabolic profiles. The 100 mg/kg isopimpinellin demonstrated promising therapeutic effects, as evidenced by protected colon tissue and the inhibition of inflammation and tumor. Pro-inflammatory factors were elevated in para-carcinoma tissues, while anti-inflammatory cytokines were upregulated in cancer tissues. M2 macrophages were increased in cancer tissues, whereas M1 macrophages were elevated in para-carcinoma tissues. Oral administration of isopimpinellin suppressed M2 polarization and M1 polarization in macrophages of cancer and para-carcinoma tissues, respectively. The overexpression of ALOX5, which was expressed in macrophages in the colon, abolished the effects of isopimpinellin. Finally, isopimpinellin altered metabolism in CAC mice, involving cancer-related metabolic processes and signaling pathways in cancer tissues, and amino acid metabolic pathways in para-carcinoma tissues. Isopimpinellin inhibits macrophage M1 polarization in cancer tissues and M2 polarization in para-carcinoma tissues by targeting ALOX5, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and inflammatory response in CAC mice.

Network pharmacology suggested anti-inflammatory potential, which was confirmed by PCR showing reduced levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Expression analysis of seven Sirtuin and four NOD-like receptor family members revealed that GC's anti-inflammatory effect was mediated by upregulation of Sirt3, leading to inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, decreased Caspase-1 activity, and reduced secretion of IL-1β and IL-18. Additionally, GC modulated ischemia-induced metabolic disturbances, notably restoring disrupted amino acid and unsaturated fatty acid metabolism. In conclusion, GC exerted cardioprotective effects by suppressing inflammation through the Sirt3/NLRP3 axis and restoring metabolic homeostasis.

The gut barrier and brain blood barrier (BBB) functions were observed by pathological methods. Fecal microbiota transplantation was used to demonstrate the causality of microbiota-mediated effects. The results showed that ICS II alleviated obesity status and depressive-like behaviors. ICS II reshaped gut microbiota and increased SCFAs. Meanwhile, ICS II relieved gut barrier impairment and systemic inflammation. In the brain, ICS II alleviated neuroinflammation and BBB injury. Intriguingly, fecal microbiota from ICS II-treated HFD mice improved depressive-like behaviors, intestinal barrier dysfunction, and BBB damage compared with those receiving microbiota from HFD mice.

Catalpol targets critical processes involved in cancer cell progression, like malignant proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis. Additionally, catalpol presents potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties crucial for cancer prevention and intervention. Due to the absence of clinical trials, this review investigates twelve studies, encompassing in vitro and animal trials from reputable databases, such as PubMed, with no time restrictions. Therefore, we covered evidence from catalpol's effects against several types of cancer, including breast, liver, colorectal, lung, gastric, bladder, and ovarian cancer, as well as osteosarcoma, and assessed various outcomes related to cell viability, apoptosis, migration, and modulation of molecular mechanisms by catalpol. Notably, catalpol induced cancer cell death via induction of mitochondrial apoptosis pathways, regulation of the expression of specific microRNAs, modulation of Sirt1, Kras, RACK1, PARP, PI3K/Akt, Bcl-2, and STAT3/JAK2/Src signaling pathways, and inactivation of NF-kB and Smad 2/3 signaling pathways. Furthermore, catalpol limits cancer metastasis due to modulation of critical metalloproteinases associated with cancer migration. Catalpol also synergizes with chemotherapeutic and adjuvant agents to induce cancer control, including regorafenib in liver cancer and chloroquine in gastric cancer, promoting increased anticancer action via upregulated cancer cell apoptosis, decreased proliferation, and inhibited angiogenesis via PI3K/p-Akt/mTOR/NF-κB, VEGF/VEGFR2, and Bax signaling pathways modulation. Catalpol derivatives also gained attention. Pyrazole-, imidazole-, and hydrolyzed-based catalpol derivatives increase cancer cell apoptosis and death and decrease tumor angiogenesis through similar pathways.

Notably, it is the center of metabolism and detoxification, and is important for immune regulation and inflammatory response. Isoferulic acid (IFA), as a phenolic acid compound naturally found in Cimicifuga plants, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and free radical-scavenging properties. However, its protective mechanism underlying sepsis-induced acute liver injury remains unknown. The present work focused on examining the effect of IFA on treating sepsis-mediated liver injury and exploring its potential protective mechanism. In the in vivo experiments, the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model was used to induce sepsis in mice. EX-527 was administered through intraperitoneal injection, while IFA was given via intragastric administration. Thereafter, hepatic pathological damage was assessed through hematoxylin-eosin staining. Lipid peroxidation levels were determined by measuring MDA, SOD, GSH, and ferrous iron contents. Meanwhile, relevant gene and target protein levels were analyzed using qPCR, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting. For the in vitro experiments, ferroptosis was induced in AML12 cells with erastin, followed by transfection with SIRT1-siRNA and treatment with IFA. Subsequently, ROS levels were systematically assessed, the extent of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) damage was quantified, and Nrf2 immunofluorescence staining analysis was performed in AML12 cells. Finally, molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technologies were applied in confirming the SIRT1-IFA interaction. From the in vivo experiments, sepsis induced by CLP triggered hepatic ferroptosis. While intragastric administration of IFA reduced liver ferroptosis, the intraperitoneal injection of EX-527 combined with intragastric administration of IFA reversed the protective effect of IFA. As revealed by the in vitro experiments, IFA mitigated the erastin-induced ferroptosis of AML12 cells. After transfection with SIRT1-siRNA, the protective effect of IFA was reversed.
