ABSTRACT
To isolate corynoline from Corydalis bungeana Turcz.and study its anti-inflammatory mechanism via TLRs/NF-κB signal pathway.Corynoline was extracted by 80％ ethanol and purified by silicagel column chromatography.The structure and purity of corynoline was determined by UPLC,MS,1H NMR and 13C NMR.In the course of experiment,the cytotoxicity of corynoline was evaluated by MTT assay.And the inflammation model was established by RAW264.7 macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS),which was intervened by coryno line.The expression levels of TLR4,TLR2 and nuclear transcription factor-κB(NF-κB) signaling pathways related proteinsin RAW264.7 macrophages were detected by Western blot.Furthermore,the expressionof NF-κB p65 mRNA and nuclear p65 were determined by the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) and Western blot.Results showed that 5-40 μmol/L corynoline reduced the expression level of TLR4 and TLR2,and inhibited the phosphorylation level of IκBα and the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65 at gene and protein levelin a dose-dependent manner in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells.This study indicated the protective effect of corynoline on LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages may be related with the inhibition of TLRs/NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
@#In this paper, water extract of Nauclea officinalis was absorbed by AB-8 macroporous resin and subsequently gradient-eluted with alcoholic solution of different proportion to prepare pumiloside monomer of high purity. The metabolites in urine, feces and bile of rats with gavage administration were analyzed by UPLC-QTOF/MS. Accurate MS/MS data of all components were collected with full scan mode, and analyzed by MetaboLynx software. Results showed that the monomer of high-purity pumiloside was prepared and four metabolites in rats were identified.
ABSTRACT
In order to study the chemical constituents in the water extract of the stem of Nauclea officinalis, column chromatography over D101 macroporous resin and silica gel and an automatic purification system were used to isolate and purify the chemical constituents from the extract. Nine compounds were obtained. By analysis of the physicochemical properties and spectral data, their structures were identified as naucleamide G (1), 3, 4-dimethoxyphenol-beta-D-apiofuranosyl (1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), kelampayoside A (3), 3alpha, 5alpha-tetrahydrodeoxycordifoline lactam (4), naucleamide A-10-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5), pumiloside (6), 3-epi-pumiloside (7), strictosamide (8) and vincosamide (9), separately. Among them, compound 1 is a new compound, compound 2 was found in plants of the genus Nauclea for the first time, and compounds 3 and 4 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
