Aconiti alkaloids, mainly including monoester-diterpenoidaconitines(MDAs) and diester-diterpenoidaconitines(DDAs), are considered to act as both bioactive and toxic constituents. In the present study, a feasible, economical, and accurate HPLC method for simultaneous determination of six alkaloid markers using the Single Standard for Determination of Multi-Components(SSDMC) method was developed and fully validated. Benzoylmesaconine was used as the unique reference standard. This method was proven as accurate(recovery varying between 97.5%-101.8%, RSD < 3%), precise(RSD 0.63%-2.05%), and linear(R > 0.999 9) over the concentration ranges, and subsequently applied to quantitative evaluation of 62 batches of samples, among which 45 batches were from good manufacturing practice(GMP) facilities and 17 batches from the drug market. The contents were then analyzed by principal component analysis(PCA) and homogeneity test. The present study provided valuable information for improving the quality standard of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata. The developed method also has the potential in analysis of other Aconitum species, such as Aconitum carmichaelii(prepared parent root) and Aconitum kusnezoffii(prepared root).展开更多

Cell proliferation was performed by trypan blue exclusion and 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-5-（3- carboxy- methoxyphenyl）-2-（4-sulfophenyl）-2H-tetrazolium （MTS） assays. Flow cytometry was used to assess cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. Cell migration was determined by wound-healing and transwell assays. Confocal microscopy was used to detect E-cadherin and actin filaments. RESULTS： The aqueous extract from Tubeimu （Rhizoma Bolbostemmatis）and Fuzi （Radix Aconiti lateralis Preparata） exerted synergetic effects on the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells and G1 phase arrest. When exposed to extracts at concentrations of 62.5 ：62.5 and 62.5：31.3 μg/mL, the combination index was 0.83 and 0.74, respectively. Interestingly, 62.5： 31.3 μg/mL of combined drugs enhanced the inhibitory effect of Tubeimu （Rhizoma Bolbostemmatis） on the migration of SKBR3 cells and reduced the stimulative effect of Fuzi （Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata） （P 〈 0.01）, in which cells showed an increased expression of E-cadherin and reorganization of actin filaments （P 〈 0.001）. 62.5：62.5 μg/mL extract also synergistically induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells （P 〈 0.05 and P 〈 0.001）. Acting as the main active ingredients in the extract, tubeimoside I and acetylbenzoylaconine at 10：10μg/ mL and 5：2.5 μg/mL also produced inhibitory effects on the proliferation and migration of cells （P 〈 0.01）. CONCLUSION： Tubeimu （Rhizoma Bolbostemmatis） and Fuzi （Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata） extracts had synergic effects on MDA-MB-231 and SKBR3 cells.展开更多

The mice were randomly divided into four groups of 13 mice(control, low-dose, moderate-dose, and high-dose), and gavaged once-daily for 21 consecutive days. The rates of tumor inhibition, metastasis, and metastasis inhibition were observed. The differential expressions of s P-selectin and vascular endothelial growth factor C(VEGFC) were compared between the treatment groups and the control group.RESULTS: The tumor weights differed significantly between the treatment groups and the control group(P < 0.05). Administration of SF in the moderate-dosage and low-dose groups significantly inhibited the expression of s P-selectin and VEGFC(both P < 0.05), suggesting anti-tumor activity.CONCLUSION: SF can inhibit the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma.展开更多

文摘OBJECTIVE： To test the synergistic effects of the aqueous extract of Tubeimu （Rhizoma Bolbosternmatis） and Fuzi （Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata） on MDA-MB-231 and SKBR3 breast cancer cells.METHODS： A combined index was created for the effects of Tubeimu （Rhizoma Bolbostemmatis） and Fuzi （Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata） extracts. Cell proliferation was performed by trypan blue exclusion and 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-5-（3- carboxy- methoxyphenyl）-2-（4-sulfophenyl）-2H-tetrazolium （MTS） assays. Flow cytometry was used to assess cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. Cell migration was determined by wound-healing and transwell assays. Confocal microscopy was used to detect E-cadherin and actin filaments. RESULTS： The aqueous extract from Tubeimu （Rhizoma Bolbostemmatis）and Fuzi （Radix Aconiti lateralis Preparata） exerted synergetic effects on the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells and G1 phase arrest. When exposed to extracts at concentrations of 62.5 ：62.5 and 62.5：31.3 μg/mL, the combination index was 0.83 and 0.74, respectively. Interestingly, 62.5： 31.3 μg/mL of combined drugs enhanced the inhibitory effect of Tubeimu （Rhizoma Bolbostemmatis） on the migration of SKBR3 cells and reduced the stimulative effect of Fuzi （Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata） （P 〈 0.01）, in which cells showed an increased expression of E-cadherin and reorganization of actin filaments （P 〈 0.001）. 62.5：62.5 μg/mL extract also synergistically induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells （P 〈 0.05 and P 〈 0.001）. Acting as the main active ingredients in the extract, tubeimoside I and acetylbenzoylaconine at 10：10μg/ mL and 5：2.5 μg/mL also produced inhibitory effects on the proliferation and migration of cells （P 〈 0.01）. CONCLUSION： Tubeimu （Rhizoma Bolbostemmatis） and Fuzi （Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata） extracts had synergic effects on MDA-MB-231 and SKBR3 cells.

文摘OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the protective effects of Renshen(Radix Ginseng)and Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)on myocardial infarction(MI)through regulating myocardial autophagy.METHODS:Thirty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into five groups(n=6 or 7 for each).After treatment for 3 weeks,electrocardiogram(ECG)and cardiac function were recorded.Hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining was used to detect pathological changes in the heart.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect serum B-type brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),cardiac troponin T(c Tn T),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and serum inflammatory cytokines.Metabolomic analysis was used to identify differential biomarkers of MI in rats.Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were used to detect BNP,cTnT,TNF-α,LC3B,Beclin-1,p62,and adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase(AMPK)expression in cardiac tissue.RESULTS:Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)alone or Renshen(Radix Ginseng)plus Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)markedly ameliorated cardiac dysfunction and abnormal ECGs,demonstrated by decreases in the heart weight/body weight ratio,BNP,and c Tn T.Pro-inflammation cytokine interleukin(IL)-1αsignificantly decreased and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 significantly increased in Renshen(Radix Ginseng)single or Renshen(Radix Ginseng)plus Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)groups compared with the control group.HE results suggested that co-treatment produced a greater reduction in cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area than Renshen(Radix Ginseng)or Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)alone.Renshen(Radix Ginseng)plus Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)reversed these changes to different degrees in MI rats.Furthermore,Renshen(Radix Ginseng)plus Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)down-regulated LC3 B,Beclin-1,and AMPK expression in cardiac tissue and upregulated p62 expression.CONCLUSIONS:Renshen(Radix Ginseng)plus Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)may have a greater effect on heart injury induced by MI in rats than Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)treatment alone,and the underlying mechanism may be associated with the regulation of myocardial autophagy and anti-inflammation effects.These results provide fresh insight into the mechanism of co-treatment with Renshen(Radix Ginseng)and Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)for MI.

文摘OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of Sumu(Lignum Sappan) plus Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata)(SF) on the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma.METHODS: A lung carcinoma model was established by subcutaneously inoculating Lewis lung carcinoma cells into C57 BL/6 mice. The mice were randomly divided into four groups of 13 mice(control, low-dose, moderate-dose, and high-dose), and gavaged once-daily for 21 consecutive days. The rates of tumor inhibition, metastasis, and metastasis inhibition were observed. The differential expressions of s P-selectin and vascular endothelial growth factor C(VEGFC) were compared between the treatment groups and the control group.RESULTS: The tumor weights differed significantly between the treatment groups and the control group(P < 0.05). Administration of SF in the moderate-dosage and low-dose groups significantly inhibited the expression of s P-selectin and VEGFC(both P < 0.05), suggesting anti-tumor activity.CONCLUSION: SF can inhibit the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma.

文摘OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between the cardiotonic activity of Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata,RALP)and its fingerprint determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS).METHODS:First,the fingerprints of six processed products of RALP were established by high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(HPLC-Q-TOF-MS)followed by analysis of the principal component of the relative peak area of its common peaks.Next,the scores of the first five principal components were used as input for an artificial neural network(ANN).Additionally,the therapeutic effect of RALP was assessed by measuring the hemodynamic indexes of heart failure model rats.Subsequently,fluorescence semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit were used to determine the effects of RALP-processed products on the serum levels of noradrenaline(NA),angiotensin-Ⅰ(Ang-Ⅰ),and the expression ofβ-norepinephrine receptor m RNA(β-NRm)in the rat cardiac tissues.P<0.05 was used as the output of the ANN.Finally,a network was constructed to display the relationship between the LC-MS fingerprints and the cardiotonic activity of the RALP-processed products.RESULTS:Several types of RALPs can improve diastolic function,systolic function and heart rate.On the basis of the findings from the principal component analysis(PCA)of 16 common peaks of fingerprints of six RALP-processed products,it was revealed that the first five principal components may include 100%of the information of the original data.As observed from the multilayer perceptron neural network analysis,principal component 4 presented with the strongest effects on serum levels of NA and Ang-Ⅰin rats,while principal component1 exerted the greatest effect onβ-NRm expression in cardiac tissue.CONCLUSION:The key findings obtained from this study indicated that the network constructed by the PCA-ANN may predict pharmacodynamic effects of the main ingredients of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM).This method may serve as a new approach to identify the relationship between LC-MS fingerprints and the pharmacodynamic effects of TCM ingredients.
文摘The compatibility of Chinese herbs is the focus and the difficulty in traditional Chinese medicine research,and it has an important guiding role for clinical medicine.Some scholars believe that the Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata,FZ)compatibility with Tubeimu(Rhizoma Bolbostemmatis,TBM)/Gualou(Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim,GL)does not meet the Chinese medicine theory of“eighteen incompatibilities”.However,this combination has been used many times in many clinical medications.This study reviewed the research progress of pharmacological effects of FZ,and FZ compatibility with TBM/GL,in order to correctly understand and apply the“eighteen incompatibilities”drugs,and provide a reference for further exploration of the combined application in clinical treatment.
