The release of lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase activity and levels of malondialdehyde were determined by UV spectrophotometry. The changes in mitochondrial membrane potential and the intracellular concentration of calcium were determined by flow cytometry, and the activity of caspase-3 was monitored by western blot. According to cell viability and apoptosis studies, MPP＋-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells was inhibited in the presence of 10 tJg/mL of Eleutheroside B Our results indicate that the neuroprotective effect of Eleutheroside B, following MPP＋-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells, involves increasing the anti-oxidative stress capacity of cells, maintaining the high-energy state of mitochondrial membrane potential, reducing intracellular calcium concentration and inhibiting caspase-3 activity.展开更多

The incidence of AS is increasing in the last decades. So development of safe and effective therapeutics for treating AS has become prominently important. Although there are numerous chemical drugs available for treating AS, some drugs are not effective and some have serious side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has a long history for the prevention and treatment of AS due to its less side effects and superior efficacy. This paper describes the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms for prevention and treatment of AS by TCM or its active components. Some TCM, e.g. XuemaiNing, Tongxinluo and Salvia miltiorrhiza have been reported to have cardio-protective effect. Some active components of TCM, e.g. saikosaponin-A, kuwanon G, luteolin and β-elemene have been isolated from various TCM and demonstrated to have beneficial effects on prevention and treatment of AS.展开更多

It is often used for the treatment of external skin infection, sore throat, snake bite, fall pain, frightening convulsion, and other diseases. PR has analgesic, sedative, anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, and renal and liver protective effects;inhibition of angiogenesis;immune regulation;and antioxidant and cardiovascular effects, and antifertility and anti-early pregnancy sperm killing effects. Steroidal saponins, β-ecdysone, polysaccharides, microelements, flavonoid glycosides, and amino acids were isolated from PR. In this paper, its pharmacology, application, ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, quality control, toxicology, and pharmacokinetics were reviewed. This information suggests that we should focus on the development of new drugs related to PR, including specific ingredients, so as to make PR play a greater therapeutic potential. At the same time, attention should be paid to the rational use of PR resources to avoid excessive using, resulting in resource shortage. Therefore, we can carry out the research on the substitutes of PR, a large-scale planting of(Paridis Rhizoma) PR, and develop the same genus of PR and other resources. So far, great progress has been made in pharmacology and phytochemistry, especially in antitumor research, and many traditional uses have been confirmed and clarified by modern pharmacological research. However, there are few studies on the mechanism of its pharmacological action and few studies on processing. To develop new drugs in the future, more studies and experiments are still needed to prove the effect of PR and explore more new effects.展开更多

文摘Dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A(DYRK1A)is the most promising target for diabetes treatment by promotingβ-cell proliferation.The desmethylbellidifolin(DMB)as a DYRK1A inhibitor could facilitateβ-cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro.However,DMB has the problem of weak binding affinity to DYRK1A,which means that continuous high concentration administration of DMB is effective for the diabetes.In order to solve this problem,we designed and synthesized a series of DMBbased proteolysis targeting chimeras(PROTACs)by taking advantage of the property of PROTAC that induce protein degradation in a cycle-catalytic manner.MDM2-based PROTAC X1-4P-MDM2 was identified as the most active PROTAC molecule.Mechanism research showed that X1-4P-MDM2 formed a ternary complex with DYRK1A and murine double minute 2(MDM2),and induced the degradation of DYRK1A through the ubiquitin-proteasome system pathway.At a dose much lower than that of DMB,X1-4PMDM2 still significantly enhancedβ-cell proliferation by inhibiting transforming growth factor beta(TGF-β)and promoting the mitogen-activated protein kinases/extracellular signal-regulated kinase(MAPK/ERK)signaling pathway,which may provide a new strategy for the application of DMB in diabetes.

文摘Worldwide,gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths and the fifth most common malignant tumor.Gastric cancer is believed to be caused by a variety of factors,such as genetics,epigenetics,and environmental influences.Among the pathogenic factors,inflammation has been considered as one of the main risk factors for gastric cancer.There are currently limited ways to prevent gastric cancer.Although the combined application of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce the risk,it has great side effects and can easily cause gastric perforation or gastric bleeding.Therefore,an alternative plan is urgently needed.Curcumin is the yellow pigment in the rhizome of the plant turmeric.Current studies have found that curcumin has a protective effect on gastric mucosal damage caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,gastric mucosal damage in rats,and gastric mucosal damage caused by stress bleeding and Helicobacter pylori infection.Curcumin shows significant antiinflammatory and anti-cancer activities by regulating DNA methylation,histone modification,nuclear factor erythrocyte 2 related factor 2 and other related signal pathways.In this article,the latest evidence of curcumin for epigenetic changes in gastric cancer and its potential contribution to gastric cancer were discussed.

文摘Paridis Rhizoma(PR) is also known as the flower with seven leaves and one branch, PR with golden thread, etc. It tastes bitter, numb, and slightly cold and has little poison. It is often used for the treatment of external skin infection, sore throat, snake bite, fall pain, frightening convulsion, and other diseases. PR has analgesic, sedative, anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, and renal and liver protective effects;inhibition of angiogenesis;immune regulation;and antioxidant and cardiovascular effects, and antifertility and anti-early pregnancy sperm killing effects. Steroidal saponins, β-ecdysone, polysaccharides, microelements, flavonoid glycosides, and amino acids were isolated from PR. In this paper, its pharmacology, application, ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, quality control, toxicology, and pharmacokinetics were reviewed. This information suggests that we should focus on the development of new drugs related to PR, including specific ingredients, so as to make PR play a greater therapeutic potential. At the same time, attention should be paid to the rational use of PR resources to avoid excessive using, resulting in resource shortage. Therefore, we can carry out the research on the substitutes of PR, a large-scale planting of(Paridis Rhizoma) PR, and develop the same genus of PR and other resources. So far, great progress has been made in pharmacology and phytochemistry, especially in antitumor research, and many traditional uses have been confirmed and clarified by modern pharmacological research. However, there are few studies on the mechanism of its pharmacological action and few studies on processing. To develop new drugs in the future, more studies and experiments are still needed to prove the effect of PR and explore more new effects.
