Naringin （20, 40 and 80 mg/kg） was given orally for 7 days to Wistar rats before induction of colitis by intrarectal instillation of 2 mL of 4% （v/v） acetic acid solution. The degree of colonic mucosal damage was analyzed by examining mucosal damage, ulcer area, ulcer index and stool consistency. Intrarectal administration of 4% acetic acid resulted in significant modulation of serum alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase （SOD）, glutathione （GSH）, malondialdehyde （MDA） and myeloperoxidase （MPO） content along with colonic nitric oxide （NO）, xanthine oxidase （XO） level and protein carbonyl content in the colonic tissue as well as in blood. Naringin （40 and 80 mg/kg） exerted a dose dependent （P 〈 0.05） ameliorative effect, as it significantly increased hematological parameter as well as colonic SOD and GSH. There was a significant （P 〈 0.05） and dose dependant inhibition of macroscopical score, ulcer area along with colonic MDA, MPO activity by the 7 days of pretreatment of naringin （40 and 80 mg/kg）. Biochemical studies revealed a significant （P 〈 0.05） dose dependant inhibition in serum alkaline phosphatase （ALP） and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） levels by pretreatment of naringin. Increased levels of colonic NO, XO, protein carbonyl content and DNA damage were also sig- nificantly decreased by naringin pretreatment. The findings of the present investigation propose that naringin has an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic potential effect at colorectal sites as it modulates the production and expression of oxidative mediators such as MDA, MPO, NO and XO, thus reducing DNA damage.展开更多

The changes in enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°) of the interaction were found to be +18.73 kJ/mol and +143.64 J mol-1 K-1 respectively, indicating that the interaction of naringin with bovine serum albumin occurred mainly through hydrophobic interactions. Negative values of free energy change (ΔG°) at different temperatures point toward the spontaneity of the interaction. Circular dichroism studies reveal that the helical content of bovine serum albumin decreased after interaction with naringin. According to the F?rster non-radiative energy transfer theory the distance between Trp 213 residue and naringin was found to be 3.25 nm. Displacement studies suggest that naringin binds to site 1 (subdomain IIA) of bovine serum albumin (BSA) which was also substantiated by molecular docking studies.展开更多

The chemical structures of the four products were elucidated as naringin-6＂acetate （2）, naringenin （3）, phloretic acid （4）, and phloroglucinol （5） on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Naringin-6＂-acetate was specifically formed by acetylation at C6-OH of glucosyl group of 1. The result obtained in the present research could account for the lower bioavailability of 1 after oral administration, suggesting that some biological properties of 1 in vivo may be mediated by its intestinal flora converted product 3. The biotransforrnation of 1 by intestinal flora leading to their systemic absorption deserves further attention and may provide valuable insights into pre-systemic drug metabolism, delivery or toxicity.展开更多

文摘The interaction of naringin with bovine serum albumin has been performed using fluorescence, circular dichroism and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in 20 mM phosphate buffer of pH 7.0 as well as molecular docking studies. The changes in enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°) of the interaction were found to be +18.73 kJ/mol and +143.64 J mol-1 K-1 respectively, indicating that the interaction of naringin with bovine serum albumin occurred mainly through hydrophobic interactions. Negative values of free energy change (ΔG°) at different temperatures point toward the spontaneity of the interaction. Circular dichroism studies reveal that the helical content of bovine serum albumin decreased after interaction with naringin. According to the F?rster non-radiative energy transfer theory the distance between Trp 213 residue and naringin was found to be 3.25 nm. Displacement studies suggest that naringin binds to site 1 (subdomain IIA) of bovine serum albumin (BSA) which was also substantiated by molecular docking studies.
文摘Objective:To explore the possible effects of naringin on acrylamide-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.Methods:Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into five groups.The control group was given intragastric(i.g.)saline(1 mL)for 10 d.The acrylamide group was given i.g.acrylamide in saline(38.27 mg/kg titrated to 1 mL)for 10 d.The treatment groups were administered with naringin in saline(50 and 100 mg/kg,respectively)for 10 d and given i.g.acrylamide(38.27 mg/kg)1 h after naringin injection.The naringin group was given i.g.naringin(100 mg/kg)alone for 10 d.On day 11,intracardiac blood samples were obtained from the rats when they were under anesthesia,after which they were euthanized.Urea and creatinine concentrations of blood serum samples were analyzed with an autoanalyzer.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantify malondialdehyde,superoxide dismutase,glutathione,glutathione peroxidase,catalase,tumor necrosis factor-α,nuclear factor-κB,interleukin(IL)-33,IL-6,IL-1β,cyclooxygenase-2,kidney injury molecule-1,mitogen-activated protein kinase-1,and caspase-3 in kidney tissues.Renal tissues were also evaluated by histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations for 8-OHdG and Bcl-2.Results:Naringin attenuated acrylamide-induced nephrotoxicity by significantly decreasing serum urea and creatinine levels.Naringin increased superoxide dismutase,glutathione,glutathione peroxidase,and catalase activities and decreased malondialdehyde levels in kidney tissues.In addition,naringin reduced the levels of inflammatory and apoptotic parameters in kidney tissues.The histopathological assay showed that acrylamide caused histopathological changes and DNA damage,which were ameliorated by naringin.Conclusions:Naringin attenuated inflammation,apoptosis,oxidative stress,and oxidative DNA damage in acrylamide-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

文摘Objective:To explore the potential of metanephric mesenchymal cells(MMCs)for osteogenesis and naringin’s ability to enhance this process and its molecular mechanism.Methods:Porcine MMCs at 70 days of gestation were used as tool cells,cultured in osteogenic induction medium,identified by immunocytochemistry staining.Osteogenic potential of porcine MMCs and naringin’s ability to enhance this process was tested by detecting changes in cell viability,alkaline phosphatase(ALP)activity,the expression of runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2),osteopontin(OPN)and osteocalcin(OCN),and the formation of mineralized nodules,and the application of the p38 signaling pathway inhibitor SB203580 vitiated the osteogenesis-promoting effect of naringin.Results:Immunocytochemical staining showed that the cells were Vimentin and Six2(+),E-cadherin and CK-18(−).Naringin can activate the p38 signaling pathway to enhance the osteogenesis of porcine MMCs by increasing cell viability,ALP activity,the expressions of Runx2,OPN and OCN,and the formation of mineralized nodules(P<0.05).The application of p38 signaling pathway inhibitor SB203580 vitiated the osteogenesis-promoting effect of naringin,manifested by decreased ALP activity,the expressions of Runx2,OPN and OCN,and the formation of mineralized nodules(P<0.05).Conclusion:Naringin,the active ingredient of Chinese herbal medicine Rhizoma Drynariae for nourishing Shen(Kidney)and strengthening bone,enhances the osteogenic differentiation of renal MMCs through the p38 signaling pathway.
文摘Background:Naringin as a bioflavanone glycoside is abundant in citrus fruits,which since ancient times have been utilized as natural herbal treatments in traditional medicine.Naringin has potent antioxidant effect that may mitigate oxidative stress mediated cardiovascular and renal dysfunctions in mammalian systems.Objective:To explore probable modulatory actions of naringin on fipronil-induced cardio-renal dysfunctions.Methods:Twenty-four Wistar rats weighing 140±3.0 g were divided into four groups including normal control(saline),10 mg/kg Fipronil(FIP),FIP+100 mg/kg naringin,and 100 mg/kg naringin.Administration of naringin and fipronil was by oral gavage for 28 consecutive days.Urinalysis,blood pressure monitoring,biochemical assays,histology,and immunohistochemical evaluations were performed.Results:Naringin significantly(P<0.001)lessened blood pressure parameters,oxidative stress markers but significantly(P<0.001)heightened the systemic antioxidants.Likewise,naringin prevented fipronil-induced histopathological lesions such as congestion and cellular infiltration in cardiac and renal tissues.Moreover,naringin attenuated the immunohistochemical expression of troponin 1 and matrix metalloperoxidase-2 in cardiac tissues,but heightened angiotensin converting enzyme 2 expression in contrast to that of fipronil group.Conclusion:The observation in this study shows potent attenuation of fipronil-induced toxicity by naringin,through inhibiting processes related to oxidation and inflammation.

文摘Naringin （1）, the highest-content flavanone glycoside in sour oranges, was incubated with human intestinal flora, and four biotransforrnation products （2-5） were obtained from the incubated mixture by chromatographic methods. The chemical structures of the four products were elucidated as naringin-6＂acetate （2）, naringenin （3）, phloretic acid （4）, and phloroglucinol （5） on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Naringin-6＂-acetate was specifically formed by acetylation at C6-OH of glucosyl group of 1. The result obtained in the present research could account for the lower bioavailability of 1 after oral administration, suggesting that some biological properties of 1 in vivo may be mediated by its intestinal flora converted product 3. The biotransforrnation of 1 by intestinal flora leading to their systemic absorption deserves further attention and may provide valuable insights into pre-systemic drug metabolism, delivery or toxicity.
