RESUMEN

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY RELEVANCE: The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a therapeutic target of for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) owing to its regulatory role in lipid homeostasis. Schaftoside (SS) is a bioactive compound of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii, which has traditionally been used to treat hepatitis and cholelithiasis. However, the potential hepatoprotective effect of SS against NAFLD and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY: We investigated whether SS could improve NAFLD-induced liver injury by decreasing lipid accumulation via the activation of FXR signalling. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In vivo, the effects of SS on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced lipid accumulation in the liver of mice were evaluated by serum biochemical parameters and histopathological analysis. In vitro, the intracellular triglyceride (TG) level and Oil Red O staining were used to evaluate the lipid removal ability of SS in Huh-7 cells or FXR knockout mouse primary hepatocytes (MPHs) induced by oleic acid (OA). Moreover, FXR/sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) mRNA and protein expression levels were detected. RESULTS: SS reduced HFD-induced lipid accumulation in the liver, as indicated by decreased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), cholesterol (Ch), and TG levels in serum and TG levels in liver tissue, and subsequently resulting in attenuation of liver histopathological injury. Gene expression profiles demonstrated that SS dose-dependently prevented HFD-induced decrease of FXR expression and inversely inhibited SREBP1 expression in the nucleus. Furthermore, SS significantly suppressed excessive TG accumulation and decreased intracellular TG level in Huh-7 cells or MPHs via the upregulation of FXR and inhibition of SREBP1 expression in the nucleus. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that SS ameliorates HFD-induced NAFLD by the decrease of lipid accumulation via the control of FXR-SREBP1 signalling.

RESUMEN

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Geniposidic acid (GPA) is the main constituent of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (Rubiaceae), which has long been used to treat inflammation, jaundice and hepatic disorders. The cholagogic effect of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (Rubiaceae) and GPA have been widely reported, but the underlying occurrence mechanism remains unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY: This investigation was designed to evaluate the hepatoprotection effect and potential mechanisms of GPA derived from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (Rubiaceae) on fighting against α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) caused liver injury with acute intrahepatic cholestasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were intragastrically (i.g.) administered with the GPA (100, 50 and 25mg/kg B.W. every 24h) for seven consecutive days, and then they were treated with ANIT (i.g. 65mg/kg once in the 5th day) which induced liver injury with acute intrahepatic cholestasis. Serum and bile biochemical analysis, bile flow rate and liver histopathology were measured to evaluate the protective effect of GPA fight against ANIT treatment. The protein and mRNA expression levels of farnesoid X receptor (Fxr), bile-salt export pump (Bsep), multidrug resistance associated protein2 (Mrp2), were evaluated to study the effect of liver protection about GPA against ANIT induced hepatotoxicity and underlying mechanisms. RESULTS: Some abnormalities were observed on ANIT treated rats including weight loss, reduced food intake and hair turned yellow. Obtained results demonstrated that at dose 100 and 50mg/kg B.W. (P<0.01) and 25mg/kg B.W. (P<0.05) of GPA pretreated dramatically prevented ANIT induced decreased in bile flow rate. Compared with ANIT treated group, the results of bile biochemical parameters about total bile acid (TBA) was increased by GPA at groups with any dose (P<0.01), glutathione (GSH) was increased significantly at high dose (P<0.01) and medium dose (P<0.05), total bilirubin (TB) was increased at high and medium dose (P<0.05), direct bilirubin (DB) was only increased at high dose (P<0.01). Serum levels of glutamic-Oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (γ-GT), TB, DB and TBA in comparison with ANIT treated group (P<0.01) were reduced by GPA (between 100 and 50mg/kg B.W.) pretreatment. Histopathology of the liver tissue showed that pathological damages and hepatic portal area filled with bile were relieved after GPA pretreatment compared with ANIT treated group. The protein and mRNA expression of Fxr, Bsep and Mrp2 were decreased in ANIT treated group. On the contrary, the protein and mRNA of Fxr, Bsep and Mrp2 were up regulated significantly pretreatment by GPA at dose of high and medium groups. On protein level of Bsep and Mrp2 the result shown no statistical difference in GPA (25mg/kg B.W.), but it was not same shown in mRNA level. CONCLUSION: The results of this investigation have demonstrated that the GPA exerts a dose dependent hepatoprotection effect on ANIT induced liver damage with acute intrahepatic cholestasis in rats, which may due to Fxr mediated regulation of bile transporters like Bsep and Mrp2.

RESUMEN

Shuanghuanglian injection (SHLI) has been widely used for administration with cephalosporin in China for long time. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacological properties and biochemical changes of cefepime combined with SHLI. The SD rats included were received either an intravenous (iv. 4 mL/kg) dose of normal saline, or intravenous (iv. 0.74, 0.37, 0.185 g/kg, respectively) doses of SHLI once daily for 7 days. After last administration, cefepime (0.41 g/kg) was intravenous injected to the animals. The serum and urine samples were acquired and stored at 4 °C. They were used for quantitative determination of urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CRE), urine protein, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and N-acetyl-B-d-glucosaminidase (NAG). At different time points, the levels of cefepime in rat plasma were estimated for pharmacokinetic measures by HPLC. Aspirin was selected as internal standard (IS). The results showed that there were positive effects by increasing the total amount of CRE, BUN, NAG and urine protein (p < 0.01 or <0.05) and decreasing the levels of ALP (especially the high dose group of SHLI with cefepime) (p < 0.01). Besides, the pharmacokinetic results indicated that cefepime was distributed as non-compartment model after intravenous administration. Compared with the corresponding values for the compounds given alone, the area under the blood drug concentration time curve (AUC0-t and AUC0-∞) was better increased in middle- and high-dose groups (pall < 0.01), the mean residence time (MRT) of cefepime was larger (pall < 0.01) and the total clearance (CL) was lower at different levels. The results mean that the duration and concentration of cefepime could be prolonged and the clearance reduced while in combination with SHLI. Furthermore, the cefepime in the three tested doses caused changes of renal tubular epithelial cells while the severity of changes mainly dependent on the specific doses. In conclusion, the results above-mentioned suggest a possible contribution of drug combination in the nephrotoxicity and biochemical alterations especially at high doses. Further, monitoring measures for the renal functions are warranted to evaluate during the combination of these two drugs.

RESUMEN

Many publications have reported the growing application of complementary and alternative medicine, particularly the use of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) in combination with routine pharmacotherapy (RP) for senile vascular dementia (SVD), but its efficacy remains largely unexplored. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of CHM adjunctive therapy (CHMAT), which is CHM combined with RP, in the treatment of SVD. Publications in seven electronic databases were searched extensively, and 27 trials with a total of 1961 patients were included for analysis. Compared with RP alone, CHMAT significantly increased the effective rate [odds ratio (OR) 2.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.30, 3.86]. In addition, CHMAT showed benefits in detailed subgroups of the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) score from time of onset to 4 weeks (WMD 3.01, 95% CI 2.15, 3.87), 8 weeks (weighted mean difference (WMD) 2.30, 95% CI 1.28, 3.32), 12 weeks (WMD 2.93, 95% CI 2.17, 3.69), and 24 weeks (WMD 3.25, 95% CI 2.61, 3.88), and in the activity of daily living scale score from time of onset to 4 weeks (WMD -4.64, 95% CI -6.12, -3.17), 8 weeks (WMD -4.30, 95% CI -6.04, -2.56), 12 weeks (WMD -3.89, 95% CI -4.68, -3.09), and 24 weeks (WMD -4.04, 95% CI -6.51, -1.57). Moreover, CHMAT had positive effects on changes in the Hasegawa dementia scale, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Clinical Dementia Rating, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores, as well as blood fat levels (total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoprotein E), platelet aggregation rate (1-min platelet aggregation rate, 5-min platelet aggregation rate, and maximal platelet aggregation rate), and blood rheology (whole-blood viscosity and hematocrit). No serious or frequently occurring adverse effects were reported. Weaknesses of methodological quality in most trials were assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, while the quality level of Grades of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence classification indicated 'very low'. This systematic review suggests that CHM as an adjunctive therapy can improve cognitive impairment and enhance immediate response and quality of life in SVD patients. However, because of limitations of methodological quality in the included studies, further research of rigorous design is needed.

RESUMEN

Borneol is a commonly used herbal medication in China and Japan. Previous studies have indicated that borneol could reduce the plasma concentrations of oneself and concomitant drugs, and its first-pass metabolism could be catalyzed by the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) enzyme as well. The impact of borneol on CYP3A activity and efficacy in influencing the pharmacokinetics of co-administrated drugs is currently unknown. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of borneol on CYP3A enzyme in vivo. After treatment with borneol twice daily for 3 days, rat liver microsomes were exposed to probe substrates to determine CYP3A enzyme activity, protein, and RNA harvested using microsomal testosterone 6ß-hydroxylation as a marker of enzyme activity. To verify the result, the effect of borneol on the pharmacokinetics of the CYP3A model substrate midazolam was further examined. The results showed that borneol treatment had increased CYP3A expression at the mRNA, protein, and activity (testosterone 6ß hydroxylase activity) level in rat liver microsomes. In addition, borneol accelerated the metabolism of midazolam, which was consistent with the enhancement in CYP3A metabolic capacity. The hepatic clearance (Cl) of midazolam injected via the caudal vein in rats following borneol co-administration was higher; however, the area under the curve (AUC0-∞) was lower than the solvent. Hence, it was proposed that borneol could increase the metabolic activity of the CYP3A enzyme, which might cause drug-drug interactions in humans when using Chinese herbal or Western medicine with borneol.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To study the anti-portal hypertension effect of oleanolic acid (OA) in CCl4-induced cirrhosis rats and its mechanism. METHODS: Rats were induced to portal hypertension by CCl4. After treatment with low dose of OA (30 mg/kg) and high dose of OA (60 mg/kg) by intragastrically for a month, the parameters in serum or liver tissue including ALT, AST, MDA, GSH-Px, NOx, eNOS, cGMP and type I collagen were measured. The MAP, PP and HR were determined by hameodynamic method and the eNOS expression in liver was measured by western blot. The pathological changes of liver tissue were also tested by Masson dye. The normal group and model group were given 0.25% of CMC-Na solution. RESULTS: Compared with the model group, treatment with 30 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg OA significantly decreased the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, gamma-GT and MDA and enhanced the level of GSH-Px in liver (P<0.05). Moreover, the collagen content also notably lowered in CCl4-induced cirrhosis rats, thus decreasing the portal pressure (PP). However, the MAP and HR were not affected by OA treatment. In addition, the expression of eNOS in liver markedly increased after one mouth treatment of OA, hereof enhancing the level of cGMP and NOx in the CCl4-induced portal hypertensive rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: OA could inhibit the progress of fibrosis and lower the PP in CCl4-induced portal hypertensive rats and the anti-portal hypertension effect might be related to increasing the expression of eNOS and enhance the NOx level in liver.

RESUMEN

A simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method is presented for the simultaneous determination of oleanolic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, kaemperol and quercetin in rat plasma. Glycyrrhetinic acid was used as an internal standard, and sample pretreatment consisted of a liquid-liquid extraction. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Gemini 110A C18 column (50 × 2.0 mm i.d., 5 µm) by gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of methanol, acetonitrile and 0.01% formic acid in water. Tandem mass spectrometric detection was conducted using multiple reaction monitoring under negative ionization mode. Calibration curves offered linear ranges of two orders of magnitude with r > 0.99. The method was validated in terms of matrix effect, intra-day and inter-day precision, accuracy, linearity, specificity and stability. The relative standard deviation of intra-day and inter-day variations ranged from 2.66 to 14.74% and 1.9 to 14.55%. No substantial endogenous interference from blank plasma was observed. The method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of Oldenlandia diffusa extract after oral administration in rats.

RESUMEN

A novel, simple, and sensitive method for the determination of jujuboside A in rat plasma using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed. Following solid-phase extraction, measurement of jujuboside A was performed by negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The limit of detection was 1.25 ng/mL, and the lower limit of quantification was 5 ng/mL in rat plasma. Good linearity was obtained over the range of 6.25-500 ng/mL, and the correlation coefficient was better than 0.998. The intra- and inter-day precisions ranged 4.4-7.5% and 2.9-10.7%, respectively. The accuracy derived from QC samples ranged 3.2-7.8% and 2.2-3.5%, respectively. The recovery ranged from 72.9 to 75.1% and the matrix effect from 96.7 to 105.3%. The analyte was stable under various conditions (at room temperature, during freeze-thaw, in the autosampler and under deep-freeze conditions). The developed method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study in rats.

RESUMEN

AIM OF THE STUDY: Ferulic acid (FA), a compound isolated from herbs, has a big potential to be developed into a useful drug for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Early estimation of potential drug interaction is critical for drug development. As a common Chinese herb and Western drug respectively, Honghua and clopidogrel are often combined with FA-containing herbs to treat cardiovascular disease in clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of FA and potential interaction with Honghua and clopidogrel in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The experiments were performed on following three groups: FA alone (10mg/kg, P.O.), combination of FA and Honghua (700 mg/kg, P.O.), combination of FA and clopidogrel (7 mg/kg, P.O.). Blood samples were collected before dosing and at 0, 2, 4, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 min after drug administration to determine the plasma drug concentration of FA. RESULTS: FA was rapidly absorbed following oral administration with a mean time to peak plasma concentration (T(max)) of 0.03 h. The corresponding maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) were 8174.55 ng/L and 2594.45 h ng/mL respectively. Coadministration of Honghua and clopidogrel resulted in a 63.5% and 79.7% increase in the AUC respectively. The C(max) of FA was significantly increased by coadministration with clopidogrel (74.3%, p<0.01). Moreover, the T(max) of FA when coadministered with Honghua or clopidogrel was 3 and 3.76 times slower than when administered alone. Other pharmacokinetic parameters estimated for FA were also altered by the coadministrations, but no statistically significant differences were observed. CONCLUSION: FA was rapidly absorbed with a low bioavailability after a single oral administration. The pharmacokinetics profile of FA in rats was partly altered by the coadministration of FA with Honghua or clopidogrel.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To observe anticoagulative effect and antiplatelet aggregation effect of the combination of Hirudo and Tabanus with different dose-ratio on rat model of blood stasis syndrome. METHODS: The rat model of blood stasis syndrome was established by subcutaneous injection of adrenaline combined with stimulation of icy water. Then prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB) contents and inhibition rate of blood platelet aggregation were determined. RESULTS: Platelet aggregation increases, APTT and PT reduced, and FIB contents increased in model control group significantly (P<0.001). Hirudo, Tabanus and the combination of Hirudo and Tabanus had antiplatelet aggregation effect in varying degrees. APTT and PT were prolonged significantly (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively) in Hirudo group, Tabanus group and combination groups, especially in the group with dose-ratio of Hirudo to Tabanus being 4:3. FIB contents decreased significantly in combination group with dose-ratio being 3:1 (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The combination groups of Hirudo and Tabanus have better effect of anticoagulation and antiplatelet aggregation than Hirudo group and Tabanus group. While in the four combination groups, the group recommended by classical TCM monograph with dose-ratio of Hirudo to Tabanus being 4:3, has the best anticoagulation effect.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Rhizoma Zingiberis and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae extracts on acute myocardial ischemia rats and explore the mechanism. METHODS: The model of myocardial ischemia in rats was established by ligating the front descending anterior branch of the coronary artery. With Fufang Danshen Pill as positive control drug,the effects of Rhizoma Zingiberis and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae extracts on the electrocardiogram (ECG), the extension of myocardial infarction, the hemorheology indexes, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rats were evaluated. RESULTS: Rhizoma Zingiberis and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae extracts decreased the ST-segment of ECG (P < 0.01), reduced the extension of myocardial infarction (P < 0.05), decreased the contents of CK and LDH in serum (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), improved hemorheology (P < 0.05), increased SOD and GSH-Px activity and decreased MDA content (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Rhizoma Zingiberis and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae extracts have protective effect on myocardial ischemia in rats, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting lipid peroxidation.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of Wuling Powder extract on rats with renal hypertension and to evaluate the influence of it on the volume of urine and the concentrations of Na(+), K(+), Cl(-). METHODS: Reformed Gold-blatt hypertension rat model (G-2K1C) was established. The rats were divided into 6 groups as follows: sham-operation group; model group, Wuling Powder high dosage group (80 g/kg), Wuling Powder middle dosage group (40 g/kg), Wuling Powder low dosage group (20 g/kg), and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) group (25 mg/kg). Urine volume of the rats was measured during the experiment. Tail arterial pressure and [Na(+)], [K(+)], [Cl(-)] in serum of the rats were detected after 30 days of treatment. RESULTS: The blood pressure of the G-2K1C rats was decreased in the three Wuling Powder groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but higher than that of the false-operation group (P<0.01), and there was no difference between each of the Wuling Powder groups and the HCT group (P>0.05). Diuretic effect of the three dosages of Wuling Powder was weaker than that of the HCT (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The effects of the three dosages of Wuling Powder and HCT on [Na(+)] and [Cl(-)] in the serum were not obviously different (P>0.05), but [K(+)] of the HCT group was significantly decreased compared with that of the false-operation group and the three Wuling Powder groups (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Wuling Powder extract had satisfying therapeutic effects in increasing the discharge of urine, decreasing the blood pressure and keeping the balance of the serum electrolyte contents in rats with renal hypertension.
