Introduction: The available literature indicates that Hyssopus officinalis and Grindelia robusta are raw materials with great potential for use in prevention and therapy. Therefore, the aims of this study were to assess the phytochemical profile and antioxidant and cytoprotective properties of extracts prepared using various solvents, additionally taking into account different methods of drying the plant material. Methods: Hydrodistilled oil was analysed by GC-MS. The chemical composition of the extracts was estimated by spectrophotometry and the HPLC–DAD method. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH and FRAP and measuring the intracellular level of ROS. Alamar Blue and Neutral Red tests were used to assess the cytotoxicity of the extracts on skin cells - keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Results: The major components of hyssop essential oil were cis- (44.9%) and trans- (18.2%) pinocamphone, while borneol (16.1%), and α-pinene (12.0%) were predominant in grindelia essential oil. Flavonoids were dominant in the extracts (water:ethanol, water:methanol, and water: glycerol) from hot-air dried hyssop herb, while phenolic acids were the predominant compounds in the grindelia herb extracts. The water:ethanol hyssop extract had the highest total content of flavonoids (42.26 mg CE/mL), among which isoquercitrin and rutin were present in the highest quantities (32.61 mg/mL and 21.47 mg/mL, respectively). In the case of grindelia, the highest total phenolic acid content (26.24 mg CAE/mL) was recorded in the water:ethanol extract, and the dominant compounds among them were 1,5-dicaffeoylquinic and chlorogenic acid (10.85 and 6.39 mg/mL, respectively). The water:ethanol extract from both plants also exhibited the highest antioxidant activity in the DPPH and FRAP tests (79.19% and 1.39 mmol/L, respectively, for grindelia and 67.61% and 1.04 mmol/L for hyssop) and was most effective at reducing the level of ROS in cells. In addition, water:ethanol extracts may have a positive impact on the viability of skin cells in vitro. Conclusion: Water:ethanol extracts from H. officinalis and G. robusta herb are promising sources of active compounds and may find application as natural materials with valuable biological properties, which require further in vitro and in vivo testing.
导言:现有文献表明,Hyssopus officinalis 和 Grindelia robusta 是极具预防和治疗潜力的原材料。因此,本研究旨在评估使用不同溶剂制备的提取物的植物化学成分、抗氧化性和细胞保护性,同时考虑到植物材料的不同干燥方法。方法:采用 GC-MS 对水蒸馏油进行分析。通过分光光度法和 HPLC-DAD 法估算提取物的化学成分。使用 DPPH 和 FRAP 评估抗氧化活性,并测量细胞内的 ROS 水平。阿拉玛蓝和中性红测试用于评估提取物对皮肤细胞--角质细胞和成纤维细胞--的细胞毒性。结果百日草精油的主要成分是顺式(44.9%)和反式(18.2%)蒎烷,而研磨精油中主要是龙脑(16.1%)和α-蒎烯(12.0%)。黄酮类化合物在热风干燥的百日草提取物(水:乙醇、水:甲醇和水:甘油)中占主导地位,而酚酸类化合物则是研磨草提取物中的主要化合物。水:乙醇百日草提取物中黄酮类化合物的总含量最高(42.26 毫克 CE/毫升),其中异槲皮素和芦丁的含量最高(分别为 32.61 毫克/毫升和 21.47 毫克/毫升)。磨芋的水乙醇提取物中总酚酸含量最高(26.24 毫克 CAE/毫升),其中最主要的化合物是 1,5-二咖啡酰奎宁酸和绿原酸(分别为 10.85 毫克/毫升和 6.39 毫克/毫升)。在 DPPH 和 FRAP 试验中,这两种植物的水乙醇提取物也表现出最高的抗氧化活性(苦参碱的抗氧化活性分别为 79.19% 和 1.39 毫摩尔/升,百日草的抗氧化活性分别为 67.61% 和 1.04 毫摩尔/升),在降低细胞中的 ROS 水平方面最为有效。此外,水:乙醇提取物可能会对体外皮肤细胞的活力产生积极影响。结论从百日草和罗布麻中提取的水乙醇萃取物是很有前景的活性化合物来源,可作为具有宝贵生物特性的天然材料加以应用,但还需要进一步的体外和体内测试。

: This manuscript is a meta-analysis performed according to PRISMA guidelines. It shows that acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19 complicated by airway obstruction with sputum and mucus, as well as cases of asphyxia with blood, serous fluid, pus, or meconium, can sometimes cause hypoxemia because the medical standard does not include intrapulmonary solutions that release oxygen. One promising avenue for finding and developing the necessary drugs may be the physical-chemical repurposing of hydrogen peroxide solution from antiseptics into inhaled and intrapulmonary mucolytics, pyolytics, and oxygen-releasing antihypoxants by replacing the acidic properties of hydrogen peroxide with alkaline properties. The fact is that an alkaline hydrogen peroxide solution liquefies said biological masses through alkaline saponification of lipid and protein-lipid complexes and simultaneously “blasts” the masses through catalase cleavage of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas, since these masses are rich in catalase. The results of the first experiments show that inhalation and intrapulmonary injections of alkaline hydrogen peroxide solutions can significantly optimize the treatment of suffocation and hypoxemia. Value of the data: 1. Why are these data useful? These data provide a new perspective way for intrapulmonary drugs and new technologies for the emergency increase of blood oxygenation through the lungs in asphyxia with thick sputum, mucus, pus, meconium and blood. 2. Who can benefit from these data? New drug developers, drug manufacturers, medical professionals providing emergency medical care, as well as pulmonologists, physiatrists, obstetricians and gynecologists can benefit from the data presented in this article. 3. How can these data be used/reused for further insights or development of experiments? These data can be used to develop new drugs and new technologies for the treatment of suffocation and hypoxia in the final stage of COVID-19, severe asthma attacks, purulent obstructive bronchitis, blood asphyxia in cancer and wounded lung in intensive care and anesthesiology departments. In addition, these data can be used to modernize expectorant, mucolytic, pyolytic, hemolytic and meconiolytic and expand the arsenal of intrapulmonary drugs.
:本稿件是根据 PRISMA 指南进行的荟萃分析。它表明,COVID-19 中因痰液和粘液导致气道阻塞而并发的急性呼吸窘迫综合征,以及因血液、浆液、脓液或胎粪导致的窒息病例,有时会引起低氧血症,因为医疗标准不包括释放氧气的肺内溶液。寻找和开发必要药物的一个很有希望的途径可能是将过氧化氢溶液从防腐剂转变为吸入和肺内粘液溶解剂、溶脓剂和释放氧气的抗低氧血症剂,用碱性取代过氧化氢的酸性。事实上,碱性过氧化氢溶液通过碱性皂化脂质和蛋白质-脂质复合物,使上述生物质液化,同时通过过氧化氢的过氧化氢酶裂解为水和氧气,使生物质 "爆炸",因为这些生物质富含过氧化氢酶。首次实验结果表明,吸入和肺内注射碱性过氧化氢溶液可显著优化窒息和低氧血症的治疗。数据的价值:1.为什么这些数据有用?这些数据为肺内药物和新技术提供了新的视角方式,可在痰液、粘液、脓液、胎粪和血液粘稠的窒息情况下,通过肺部紧急增加血液含氧量。2.谁能从这些数据中获益?新药研发人员、药品生产商、提供紧急医疗护理的专业医务人员以及肺科医生、物理治疗师、产科医生和妇科医生均可从本文提供的数据中获益。3.如何使用/重复使用这些数据来进一步深入了解或开发实验?这些数据可用于开发新药物和新技术,以治疗 COVID-19 最后阶段的窒息和缺氧、严重哮喘发作、化脓性阻塞性支气管炎、癌症中的血液窒息以及重症监护和麻醉科的伤肺。此外,这些数据还可用于使祛痰剂、粘液溶解剂、溶脓剂、溶血剂和溶菌剂现代化,并扩大肺内药物库。

: Dengue fever, caused by the Dengue virus (DENV) and transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, has become endemic in over 100 countries. Despite considerable research, there is a lack of specific drugs for clinical use against dengue. Hence, further exploration to identify anti-- dengue compounds is essential. In recent years, natural products have gained attention for their antiviral properties. Plant-based medicines are particularly appealing due to their safety and low toxicity. This review summarizes natural compounds with potential antiviral activity against DENV, highlighting their mechanisms of action. Various compounds, from traditional herbal remedies to novel plant isolates, show promise against dengue, targeting crucial viral proteins like the envelope protein, proteases, and RNA polymerase. Exploring natural sources of antiviral agents against dengue is crucial. These compounds offer hope for effective treatments and mitigating dengue's global impact.

Therapeutic Potential of Quercetin in Diabetic Neuropathy and Retinopathy: Exploring Molecular Mechanisms 槲皮素在糖尿病神经病变和视网膜病变中的治疗潜力:探索分子机制
IF 3.4 4区 医学 Q3 CHEMISTRY, MEDICINAL Pub Date : 2024-08-28 DOI: 10.2174/0115680266330678240821060623

Diabetes mellitus poses a significant health challenge globally, often leading to debilitating complications, such as neuropathy and retinopathy. Quercetin, a flavonoid prevalent in fruits and vegetables, has demonstrated potential therapeutic effects in these conditions due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. This review summarizes and provides a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the efficacy of quercetin in ameliorating diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. A thorough search was carried out across scientific databases, such as SciFinder, PubMed, and Google Scholar, to gather pertinent literature regarding the effect of quercetin on diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy till February 2024. Preclinical studies indicate that quercetin mitigates neuropathic pain, sensory deficits, and nerve damage associated with diabetic neuropathy by improving neuronal function, reducing DNA damage, regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, enhancing antioxidant enzyme levels and endothelial function, as well as restoring nerve injuries. In diabetic retinopathy, quercetin shows the potential to preserve retinal structure and function, inhibiting neovascularization, preventing retinal cell death, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increasing neurotrophic factor levels. Moreover, through modulating key signaling pathways, such as AMP-activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) activation, Glucose Transporter 4 (GLUT 4) upregulation, and insulin secretion regulation, quercetin demonstrates efficacy in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby protecting nerve and retinal tissues. Despite promising preclinical findings, challenges, such as limited bioavailability, necessitate further research to optimize quercetin’s clinical application in order to establish its optimal dosage, formulation, and long-term efficacy in clinical settings.
糖尿病是全球面临的一项重大健康挑战,通常会导致神经病变和视网膜病变等使人衰弱的并发症。槲皮素是一种普遍存在于水果和蔬菜中的类黄酮,由于其抗氧化、抗炎和保护神经的特性,它对这些病症具有潜在的治疗作用。本综述总结并全面阐述了槲皮素在改善糖尿病神经病变和视网膜病变方面功效的分子机制。我们在SciFinder、PubMed和Google Scholar等科学数据库中进行了全面搜索,收集了截至2024年2月有关槲皮素对糖尿病神经病变和视网膜病变影响的相关文献。临床前研究表明,槲皮素可通过改善神经元功能、减少 DNA 损伤、调节促炎细胞因子、提高抗氧化酶水平和内皮功能以及恢复神经损伤,减轻与糖尿病神经病变相关的神经性疼痛、感觉障碍和神经损伤。在糖尿病视网膜病变中,槲皮素显示出保护视网膜结构和功能的潜力,它能抑制新生血管,防止视网膜细胞死亡,减少促炎细胞因子,提高神经营养因子水平。此外,通过调节关键信号通路,如激活 AMP 激活蛋白激酶 (AMPK)、上调葡萄糖转运体 4 (GLUT 4) 和调节胰岛素分泌,槲皮素可有效降低氧化应激和炎症反应,从而保护神经和视网膜组织。尽管临床前研究结果令人鼓舞,但由于生物利用度有限等挑战,有必要开展进一步研究,以优化槲皮素的临床应用,从而确定其在临床环境中的最佳剂量、配方和长期疗效。

Introduction: Oxidative response is a risk factor in the progression of arterial atherosclerosis. Objective: This research study aimed to examine the effects of oxidative response on atherosclerotic susceptibility as well as the development of arteriosclerosis occlusions of the tibial artery through pro-inflammatory mediator genes in elderly patients with occlusion of coronary arteries. Methods: We determined that oxidative stress biomarkers (Malondialdehyde-modified Low-density Lipoprotein (MDA-LDL), Oxidized Low-density Lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) as well as Heme Oxygenase- 1 (HO-1)] and the expressions of pro-inflammatory mediator genes [Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4), Nuclear Factor kappa-B (NF-κB), Myeloid Differentiating factor 88 (MyD88) and Growth Arrest-specific gene 6 (GAS6)] have an impact on the severity of arteriosclerosis occlusions of tibial artery in elderly patients suffering from occlusion of coronary arteries. Results: Levels of MDA-LDL, Ox-LDL, HO-1, TLR4, NF-κB, MyD88, and GAS6 were increased in the occlusion of tibial arteries + two-vessel coronary occlusion group compared to the CON group and occlusion of tibial arteries + one-vessel coronary occlusion group, respectively (p < 0.001); they were also elevated in occlusion of tibial arteries + multiple-vessel coronary occlusion group compared to occlusion of tibial arteries + one-vessel coronary occlusion group and occlusion of tibial arteries + two-vessel coronary occlusion group, respectively (P < 0.001). This has indicated the key roles of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory mediator genes in arteriosclerosis occlusions of tibial artery in elderly patients with occlusion of coronary arteries. Conclusion: Oxidative response may promote the expressions of inflammatory genes and enhance susceptibility to arteriosclerosis occlusions of the tibial artery in elderly patients with chronic total coronary occlusions.
导言氧化反应是动脉粥样硬化恶化的一个危险因素。研究目的本研究旨在探讨氧化反应对动脉粥样硬化易感性的影响,以及通过促炎介质基因对老年冠状动脉闭塞患者胫骨动脉硬化闭塞症的发展产生的影响。方法核因子卡巴-B(NF-κB)、髓样分化因子 88(MyD88)和生长停滞特异基因 6(GAS6)]的表达对老年冠状动脉闭塞患者胫动脉动脉硬化闭塞症的严重程度有影响。研究结果MDA-LDL、Ox-LDL、HO-1、TLR4、NF-κB、MyD88和GAS6的水平在胫动脉闭塞+双血管冠状动脉闭塞组分别高于CON组和胫动脉闭塞+单血管冠状动脉闭塞组(P < 0.001);与胫动脉闭塞+一脉冠状动脉闭塞组和胫动脉闭塞+二脉冠状动脉闭塞组相比,胫动脉闭塞+多脉冠状动脉闭塞组也分别升高(P < 0.)这表明氧化应激和促炎介质基因在老年冠状动脉闭塞患者胫动脉硬化闭塞中起着关键作用。结论氧化反应可能会促进炎症基因的表达,并增加慢性冠状动脉全闭塞老年患者胫动脉硬化闭塞的易感性。

Background: Cancers are complex multi-genetic diseases that should be tackled in multi-target drug discovery scenarios. Computational methods are of great importance to accelerate the discovery of multi-target anticancer agents. Here, we employed a ligand-based approach by combining a perturbation-theory machine learning model derived from an ensemble of multilayer perceptron networks (PTML-EL-MLP) with the Fragment-Based Topological Design (FBTD) approach to rationally design and predict triple-target inhibitors against the cancerrelated proteins named Tropomyosin Receptor Kinase A (TRKA), poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP-1), and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF1R).

Methods: We extracted the chemical and biological data from ChEMBL. We applied the Box- Jenkins approach to generate multi-label topological indices and subsequently created the PTML-EL-MLP model.

Results: Our PTML-EL-MLP model exhibited an accuracy of around 80%. The application FBTD permitted the physicochemical and structural interpretation of the PTML-EL-MLP model, thus enabling a) the chemistry-driven analysis of different molecular fragments with a positive influence on the multi-target activity and b) the use of those favorable fragments as building blocks to virtually design four new drug-like molecules. The designed molecules were predicted as triple-target inhibitors against the aforementioned cancer-related proteins.

Conclusion: Our study envisages the capabilities of combining PTML modeling with FBTD for the generation of new chemical diversity for multi-target drug discovery in oncology research and beyond.

背景:癌症是一种复杂的多基因疾病,应在多靶点药物发现方案中加以解决。计算方法对于加速多靶点抗癌药物的发现非常重要。在这里,我们采用了一种基于配体的方法,将从多层感知器网络集合(PTML-EL-MLP)中衍生出的扰动理论机器学习模型与基于片段的拓扑设计(FBTD)方法相结合,合理地设计和预测了针对肿瘤相关蛋白--肌球蛋白受体激酶A(TRKA)、聚[ADP-核糖]聚合酶1(PARP-1)和胰岛素样生长因子1受体(IGF1R)--的三靶点抑制剂:我们从 ChEMBL 中提取了化学和生物学数据。方法:我们从 ChEMBL 中提取了化学和生物数据,并采用 Box- Jenkins 方法生成了多标签拓扑指数,随后创建了 PTML-EL-MLP 模型:结果:我们的 PTML-EL-MLP 模型显示出约 80% 的准确率。应用 FBTD 可以对 PTML-EL-MLP 模型进行物理化学和结构解释,从而能够:(a)从化学角度分析对多靶点活性有积极影响的不同分子片段;(b)利用这些有利片段作为构建模块,虚拟设计出四种新的类药物分子。所设计的分子被预测为针对上述癌症相关蛋白的三靶点抑制剂:我们的研究设想了将 PTML 建模与 FBTD 结合起来,为肿瘤学研究及其他领域的多靶点药物发现创造新的化学多样性的能力。

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is known to have an impact on the health of the male reproductive system. It is linked to low sperm quality, increased oxidative stress, and an increased generation of reactive oxygen species in the seminal fluid. Pomegranate extract has phenolic compounds and significant protective properties against oxidative stress, male sex hormone disruptions, and sperm abnormalities.

Objective: The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Pomegranate Peel Extract Nanoparticles (PPENPs) on male fertility in diabetic rats.

Methods: DM was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). Twenty-four rats were divided into four groups, 6 rats in each group: control, DM, DM+empty NPs (60 mg/kg, orally), and DM+PPENPs (60 mg/kg, orally).

Results: Administration of PPENPs increased the levels of insulin, FSH, LH, testosterone, catalase, glutathione reduced, and semen fructose. PPENPs also improved sperm quality, as seen by improvements in sperm morphology, motility, count, and the ability of metabolically active spermatozoa to convert blue resazurin dye to pink resorufin. However, PPENPs decreased levels of glucose, malonaldehyde, nitric oxide, and sperm abnormalities. Also, histological investigation of the PPENPs showed improvement in testis tissue architecture and increased the diameter size of seminiferous tubules and germinative layer thickness.

Conclusion: Our investigation proved that the treatment of PPENPs has a protective effect on the reproductive system of male diabetic rats, improving fertility parameters, healthy sperm profiles, and the antioxidant system.

背景:众所周知,糖尿病(DM)会影响男性生殖系统的健康。它与精子质量低下、氧化应激增加以及精液中活性氧生成增加有关。石榴提取物含有酚类化合物,对氧化应激、男性性激素紊乱和精子异常具有显著的保护作用:本研究旨在评估石榴皮提取物纳米颗粒(PPENPs)对糖尿病大鼠雄性生育能力的影响:方法:通过腹腔注射链脲佐菌素(60 毫克/千克)诱导糖尿病大鼠。24只大鼠分为四组,每组6只:对照组、DM组、DM+空NPs(60毫克/千克,口服)组和DM+PPENPs(60毫克/千克,口服)组:结果:服用 PPENPs 提高了胰岛素、FSH、LH、睾酮、过氧化氢酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶和精液果糖的水平。PPENPs 还能改善精子的质量,这体现在精子的形态、活力、数量以及代谢活跃的精子将蓝色藜芦素染料转化为粉红色藜芦素的能力。不过,PPENPs 能降低葡萄糖、丙二醛、一氧化氮的水平,并减少精子畸形。此外,PPENPs 的组织学调查显示,睾丸组织结构得到了改善,曲细精管的直径和生精层的厚度都有所增加:我们的研究证明,PPENPs 对雄性糖尿病大鼠的生殖系统具有保护作用,可改善生育参数、精子健康状况和抗氧化系统。

IF 2.9 4区 医学 Q3 CHEMISTRY, MEDICINAL Pub Date : 2024-08-20 DOI: 10.2174/0115680266309291240808114508

Aim: Our goal was to investigate the use of Cyclodextrin in creating an aqueous extract of Cinnamon with a high content of its bioactive ingredients, validated by cell-based assays.

Background: Due to their safety and cost-effectiveness, natural compounds have garnered attention for cancer therapy, which often faces challenges related to drug toxicity and resistance. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum; also known as Ceylon Cinnamon) is a commonly used spice with a history in folk medicine for treating various ailments. However, its active ingredients suffer from poor solubility, stability, and bioavailability, which limits its use and benefits.

Objective: We prepared γCyclodextrin (γCD)-assisted aqueous extract of Cinnamon (CD-CIN) and compared its activity with the DMSO extract (DM-CIN).

Methods: The cells were exposed to CD-CIN and DM-CIN extracts under normal and stressed (oxidative, metal, and hypoxic) conditions and then analyzed for stress and cancerous phenotypes using various molecular assays.

Results: We found that CD-CIN possesses considerable anticancer activity that involves the activation of tumor suppressor proteins and DNA damage response. Low, non-toxic concentrations of DM-CIN and CD-CIN caused comparable inhibition of migration and invasion capability of cells, supported by molecular marker analyses. Furthermore, protection against oxidative, metal, and hypoxia stress, as well as induction of differentiation, was recorded in both DM-CIN and CD-CIN treated cells, as compared to the control.

Conclusion: We report CD-CIN as a new economic and easy Cinnamon-derived resource that possesses considerable anticancer and antistress activities and hence warrants further chemical, in vitro, and in vivo studies.

目的:我们的目标是研究如何使用环糊精提取出具有高生物活性成分的肉桂水提取物,并通过基于细胞的检测进行验证:背景:天然化合物因其安全性和成本效益,在癌症治疗中备受关注。肉桂(Cinnamomum verum,又称锡兰肉桂)是一种常用香料,在民间医学中具有治疗各种疾病的历史。然而,其活性成分的溶解性、稳定性和生物利用度较差,限制了其使用和功效:我们制备了γ-环糊精(γCD)辅助的肉桂水提取物(CD-CIN),并将其活性与 DMSO 提取物(DM-CIN)进行了比较:在正常和应激(氧化、金属和缺氧)条件下,将细胞暴露于 CD-CIN 和 DM-CIN 提取物,然后使用各种分子检测方法分析应激和癌症表型:结果:我们发现 CD-CIN 具有相当强的抗癌活性,其中包括激活肿瘤抑制蛋白和 DNA 损伤反应。分子标记分析证实,低无毒浓度的 DM-CIN 和 CD-CIN 对细胞迁移和侵袭能力的抑制作用相当。此外,与对照组相比,DM-CIN 和 CD-CIN 处理过的细胞对氧化、金属和缺氧应激以及诱导分化都有保护作用:我们报告的 CD-CIN 是一种新的经济、简便的肉桂衍生资源,具有相当强的抗癌和抗应激活性,因此值得进行进一步的化学、体外和体内研究。
