Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 6760: Exploratory Quality Control Study for Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. Using Dinuclear Anthraquinones with Potential Hepatotoxicity
un Shuangcheng Ma In recent years, the hepatotoxicity of Polygoni Multiflora Radix (PMR) has attracted increased research interest. Some studies suggest that anthraquinone may be the main hepatotoxic component. Most of the relevant studies have focused on the mononuclear anthraquinone component rather than binuclear anthraquinones. The hepatotoxicity of dinuclear anthraquinone (dianthrone) was investigated in a cell-based model. Next, a method for the determination of six free and total dianthonones in PMR and PMR Praeparata (PMRP) was established using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole m...

2,3,5,4 ′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside ameliorates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis via regulating pro-fibrotic signaling pathways
2,3,5,4′-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-Glucoside (THSG) is the main active ingredient extracted from Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. (PMT), which has been reported to possess extensive pharmacological properties. Nevertheless, the exact role of THSG in pulmonary fibrosis has not been demonstrated yet. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of THSG against bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung fibrosis in a murine model, and explore the underlying mechanisms of THSG in transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1)-induced fibrogenesis using MRC-5 human lung fibroblast cells. We found that THSG significa...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 6284: Analyze the Effect of Steaming on the Chemical Constituents, Defecation and Liver Injury of Polygonum Multiflorum Radix (Heshouwu) by Multiple Analysis Techniques Combined with Multivariate Statistics
Huibin Lin Steaming is a characteristic pharmaceutical skill in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Polygonum multiflorum radix (PM) and its steamed products have been used in Asia for centuries. Raw Polygonum multiflorum radix (RPM) is commonly used to promote defecation but can exert toxicity, especially in liver injury. However, RPM can be made converted into Polygoni multiflori radix praeparata (PMP) by steaming; this is considered a good method to reduce defecation and liver injury caused by PM in Asia. The chemical constituents of TCM are the key to its action. We systematically analyzed the effect of steaming...

Grossamide attenuates inflammation by balancing macrophage polarization through metabolic reprogramming of macrophages in mice
In this study, the potential of GSE on macrophage polarization was explored. GSE significantly down-regulated the levels of M1 macrophage biomarkers (Cd32a, Cd80 and Cd86) while increased the levels of M2 indicators (Cd163, Mrc1 and Socs1), showing its potential to inhibit LPS-induced M1 polarization of macrophages. This ability has close a link to its effect on metabolic reprogramming of macrophage. GSE shunted nitric oxide (NO) production from arginine by up-regulation of arginase and down-regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase, thus attenuated the inhibition of NO on OXPHOS. LPS created three breakpoints in the t...

A stepwise strategy integrating metabolomics and pseudotargeted spectrum –effect relationship to elucidate the potential hepatotoxic components in Polygonum multiflorum
In this study, we developed a stepwise strategy integrating metabolomics and pseudotargeted spectrum–effect relationship to illuminate the potential hepatotoxic components in PM. First, 112 components were tentatively identified using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). Second, based on the theory of toxicity attenuation after processing, we combined the UPLC-Q-TOF-MS method and plant metabolomics to screen out the reduced differential components in PM between raw and processed PM. Third, the proposed pseudotargeted MS of 16 differential components was estab...

Emodin-induced hepatotoxicity is enhanced by 3-methylcholanthrene through activating aryl hydrocarbon receptor and inducing CYP1A1 in vitro and in vivo
CONCLUSIONS: Our results validated that the metabolism of emodin to 5-hydroxyemodin by CYP1A played an important role in the hepatocellular toxicity of emodin and provided evidence that CYP1A1 and AhR could be used to predict and validate patient-specific liver injury of PMT or other herbs containing emodin.PMID:35934134 | DOI:10.1016/j.cbi.2022.110089 (Source: Chemico-Biological Interactions)
