Mice were given0.027 g/kg cyclosporine or 0.2 g/kg flavone lavage daily in either the cyclosporine or flavone group respectively. Platelet count, mitochondrial transmembrane potential(ΔΨm), cytochrome C(Cyt C), phosphatidylserine(PS), changes of calcium ion(Ca^(2+)),and protein expression of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway including B-cell lymphoma-2(bcl-2) Homologous Antagonist-Killer Protein(Bak), bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax), caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 were examined and compared.RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, the BMF group had significantly lower levels of platelet count, ΔΨm, and expressions of caspase family proteins as well as higher levels of Cyt C, PS,Ca^(2+), and expressions of Bak and Bax(all P < 0.05).Compared with the BMF group, the CSA and flavone groups had significantly higher ΔΨm and expressions of caspase family proteins(all P < 0.05)whereas the levels of Cyt C, PS, Ca^(2+), and expressions of Bak and Bax were reduced(all P < 0.05).More importantly, the flavone group had higher levels of Cyt C, Ca^(2+)and expressions of Bak and Bax compared with the CSA group(all P < 0.05), while the levels of PS and caspase family proteins were reduced(all P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Flavone from Zhongjiefeng(Herba Sarcandrae Glabrae) significantly increases the platelet number and prevents its apoptosis through mitochondrial pathway.展开更多

Under the optimal analysis conditions, the low detection limit[l.0×10^-7 mol/L（S/N=3）] and the wide linear range（1.0×10^-7-1.0×10^-4 mol/L） were obtained for quality standard compound of isofraxidin. The precisions of the peak current and the migration time（as RSDs） for the real sample analysis were 2.0%-2.6%, and 1.2%-1.8% for isofraxidin, respectively. The contents of isofraxidin detected were 15.77 μg/tablet, 0.48 mg/capsule, 1.2 mg/ampoule（Jiangxi）, and 0.44 mg/ampoule（Dalian） for Fufang Caoshanhu tablets, Qingrexiaoyanning capsules, and Xuekang oral liquids from different manufacturers, respectively. Quality estimate was conducted by comparing the contents of isofraxidin in the herbal medicine products with the demanded values of Chinese pharmacopeia. In addition, based on their own unique CE-ED profiles（namely, CE-ED electropherograms） the Xuekang oral liquids from the different manufacturers could be easily identified.展开更多

[Method] An inflammation model was established by xylene-induced inflammation test and carrageenan- induced inflammation test to analyze the anti-inflammatory effect of compound sarcandra aerosol. By bacteriostasis test in vitro, the antibacterial effect of compound sarcandra aerosol against five common pathogens of pharyngitis was investigated. Blood samples were collected from Wistar rats in different compound sarcandra aerosol groups and control group to compare blood routine indicators and interleukin-1 （IL-1） levels. [Result] Three different concentrations of compound sarcandra aerosol could reduce degrees of xylene-induced ear edema in mice and carrageenan- induced paw edema in rats, but the anti-inflammatory effect of compound sarcandra aerosol was reduced as the concentration declined. In bacteriostasis test in vitro, the minimum inhibitory concentration of compound sarcandra aerosol against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus hemolytis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium was 76, 105 38, 65 and 30 mg/ml, respectively. Compound sarcandra aerosol reduced white blood cell count, neutrophil count and lymphocyte percentage in pharyngitis model rats. Moreover, interleukin-1 level in watermelon frost lozenge group and different compound sarcandra aerosol groups was lower compared with control group. [Conclusion] Compound sarcandra aerosol can effectively treat pharyngitis by exerting anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect and reducing interleukin-1 level. This study laid a solid foundation for clinical application of compound sarcandra aerosol.展开更多

文摘Background:Sarcandra glabra(Thunb.)Nakai,a traditional Chinese herbal medicine,exhibits various biological activities,including antibacterial,anti-inflammatory,and antioxidant properties.However,the biological activities of its volatile oil components are not well understood.Purpose:This study was aimed to investigate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Sarcandra glabra essential oil(SGEO)and explore its potential protective effect on Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced intestinal inflammatory injury in mice.Methods:First,GC-MS was used to identify and quantify the components of SGEO.Its antioxidant activity was assessed by evaluating its free radical scavenging ability.The antibacterial mechanism of SGEO against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)was explored by examining changes in MRSA ultrastructure,leakage of cellular contents,ROS levels,and biofilm formation.Next,the protective effects of SGEO(400 and 1200 mg/kg)on intestinal inflammatory damage in mice were evaluated by analyzing physiological parameters,immune and antioxidant responses,jejunal histology,and Tight junction(TJ)protein expression levels.The microbial composition in the cecal contents of mice was analyzed using 16S rDNA sequencing,and the content of short-chain fatty acids was measured by HPLC.Results:SGEO exhibits strong antioxidant activity and inhibits MRSA growth by disrupting the MRSA cell membrane structure,inducing oxidative stress,and inhibiting biofilm formation.Additionally,SGEO alleviates LPS-induced intestinal inflammatory damage in mice by increasing the expression of TJ proteins and regulating the intestinal microecological environment.

文摘Sarcaglarols A-D(1-4),two pairs of lindenane-monoterpene heterodimers fused by a 1,2-dioxane moiety,were discovered and isolated from the leaves of Sarcandra glabra guided by MS/MS molecular networking-based strategy.Their planar structures,absolute configurations of basic skeleton and flexible polyhydric side chain were established by analysis of HRESIMS,NMR spectroscopic data,ECD spectrum,and the X-ray diffraction study of isopropylidene derivatives.An intermolecular[2+2+2]cycloaddition may play a key role in the biosynthesis pathway of the 1,2-dioxane moiety fused lindenane-monoterpene heterodimer skeleton,which can be recognized as the biogenetic precursors of our previous reported lindenane-normonoterpene conjugates.In addition,compounds 1,3 and 4 exhibited moderate inhibitory effects of lipid accumulation in free fatty acid-exposed L02 cells.

文摘Objective:The study objective was to determine phenolic components for the quality control(QC)of cultivated Sarcandra glabra(Thunb.)Makino(S.glabra).Materials and Methods:A sensitive,ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method for the simultaneous determination of 12 phenolic components has been developed.Six caffeoylquinic acids,two caffeoylshikimic acids,and four flavanonol glucosides were selected for the comprehensive analysis of distribution in different parts(root,stem,and leaf).Results:Twelve phenolic components were linear in the concentration range of 0.005–5.0μg/mL(R^(2)>0.995).The relative standard deviation of intra-day and inter-day precision across three validation runs over the entire concentration range was<5%.The recovery determined was within 5%in terms of relative error.Our results showed that the 12 phenolic compounds were mainly distributed in leaves and stems far more than those in roots.Conclusions:This study provided an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatograph with triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer quantitative method of 12 phenolic components for the QC of cultivated S.glabra.It was found that the phenolic components were significantly accumulated in the aerial parts(stems and leaves)of cultivated S.glabra.
