Rosmarinic acid (RosA), a hydrophilic phenolic compound found in various plants, has several biological effects such as anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis activities. However, its potential impact on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its underlying mechanism has not been investigated. In this study, we explored the potential therapeutic effects and mechanism of RosA on COPD airway inflammation and alveolar epithelial apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. Our data suggested that RosA may be a therapeutic candidate for COPD with low toxicity. The corresponding mechanism lies in its anti-inflammatory effect on macrophage and bronchial epithelial cells, as well as protective effect on lung epithelial apoptosis via the jointly cross-target spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk).
迷迭香酸(RosA)是一种存在于多种植物中的亲水性酚类化合物,具有多种生物效应,如抗炎和抗细胞凋亡活性。然而,它对慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)的潜在影响及其内在机制尚未得到研究。在这项研究中,我们探讨了 RosA 在体内和体外对慢性阻塞性肺病气道炎症和肺泡上皮细胞凋亡的潜在治疗作用及其机制。我们的数据表明,RosA 可能是慢性阻塞性肺病的一种低毒性候选治疗药物。其相应的机制在于它对巨噬细胞和支气管上皮细胞的抗炎作用,以及通过共同的交叉靶标脾酪氨酸激酶(Syk)对肺上皮细胞凋亡的保护作用。

To elucidate the structure-activity relationship of 17 matrine alkaloids from Oxytropis ochrocephala Bunge, their effect on hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) secretion was studied using the MTT assay. A 3D-QSAR analysis showed a strong correlation between chemical structures and biological activities (q2 = 0.625, r2 = 0.859). Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with hepatitis B core protein (PDB:5T2P) are key to inhibiting HBsAg secretion, suggesting potential for developing natural anti-hepatitis B drugs.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of wild Cordyceps sinensis on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rats through metabolomics approach, combined with biochemical parameters evaluations. Consequently, C. sinensis exhibited regulatory effects on the lung's metabolic profiles in COPD rats. Treatment with C. sinensis potentially modulated glycerophospholipid metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and tryptophan metabolism, thereby alleviating oxidative stress (by decreasing MDA and GSSG, while increasing SOD and GSH) and inflammatory response (by inhibiting TNF-α, IL-8, and MMP-9) in COPD rats while improving lung tissue damage.

The venom of the Odontobuthus doriae scorpion, prevalent in East Asia and Iran, has not been fully characterized. This study provides the first proteomic profile of O. doriae venom to explore its potential as a medical. 2D-PAGE analysis revealed 96 protein spots with isoelectric points from 3 to 9 and molecular weights between 6.6 to 205 kDa. Fourteen toxin fractions were isolated via HPLC, and SDS-PAGE showed seven protein bands ranging from 3.8 to 182 kDa. MALDI-TOF MS identified Peptide 1 and Peptide 2, resembling Hemoglobin beta-2 chain and Chaperonin HSP60 and suggest potential therapeutic applications for P1 and P2.

Polygoni Multiflori Caulis (PMC) is commonly used in clinical practice. While the adverse reactions of Polygoni Multiflori Radix (RPM) are well-known, the potential adverse reactions of PMC are often neglected. This article aims to clarify the relationship between hepatotoxic components in PMC and its various producing areas. This study provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of PMC from various regions, which can serve as a basis for safe usage.

Polygonati rhizoma (Huangjing in Chinese) is a common clinical tonic with the traditional effects of tonifying Qi, nourishing Yin. However, the lack of precise control of processing parameters has led to the uneven quality of processed Huangjing. A prediction model using the CRITIC method optimizes processing by correlating method, component contents, and biological activity, ensuring consistent quality and efficacy.

Ribosomally synthesized post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a novel category of bioactive natural products (NPs). Streptomyces bacteria are a potential source of many bioactive NPs. Limited opportunities are available to characterize all the bioactive NP gene clusters. In this study, 410 sequences of Streptomyces were analyzed for RiPPs through genome mining using the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), by combining BAGEL and anti-SMASH. A total of 4098 RiPPs were found; including both classified (lanthipeptide, RiPP-like, bacteriocin, LAPs, lassopeptide, thiopeptides) and nonclassified RiPPs. Soil was identified as a rich habitat for RiPPs. These data may offer alternative future remedies for various health issues.
