Multiflorumisides HK, stilbene glucosides isolated from Polygonum multiflorum and their in vitro PTP1B inhibitory activities.
Abstract A phytochemical study on a 70% EtOH extract of dried roots of Polygonum multiflorum resulted in the isolation of four undescribed stilbene glucosides, namely multiflorumisides HK (1-4). The structures of the natural products were elucidated by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as well as mass spectroscopy analyses. Among them, multiflorumiside J (3) and multiflorumiside K (4) belong to rare tetramer stilbene glucosides. Moreover, the in vitro inhibitory activities against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) were evaluated and the putative biosynthetic pathway was proposed. Notably, co...

Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. Extract Stimulates Melanogenesis by Induction of COX2 Expression through the Activation of p38 MAPK in B16F10 Mouse Melanoma Cells.
We examined the effects of PME on cell viability, cellular melanin content, and tyrosinase activity in B16F10 cells. The melanogenic mechanism of PME was explored using signaling inhibitors and examining the expression of melanogenic genes and signaling molecules by western blot and RT-qPCR analyses. PME did not exhibit any cytotoxicity in B16F10 cells compared to that in control cells. PME treatment significantly increased melanin production and tyrosinase activity. In addition, PME induced the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) as well as that of melanogenic genes, such as microphthalmia-associated transcription facto...

Pharmacological and metagenomics evidence of polysaccharide from Polygonum multiflorum in the alleviation of insulin resistance.
Abstract Total polysaccharide from Polygonum multiflorum (PS) and 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (TSG) could relieve high-fat and high-sugar diet (HF-HSD) induced rats' insulin resistance (IR) by gut microbiota and host regulation. We found that PS and TSG significantly reversed the increase of fasting blood glucose and the decrease of glucose tolerance in HF-HSD induced IR rats. PS and TSG effectively reversed the imbalance of Firmicutes/Bacteroides caused by an HF-HSD, and significantly reduced the relative abundance of Proteobacteria. It also affected the functional genes of gut micro...

Molecules, Vol. 25, Pages 2278: Therapeutic Emergence of Rhein as a Potential Anticancer Drug: A Review of Its Molecular Targets and Anticancer Properties
umar B Kunnumakkara According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is the second-highest cause of mortality in the world, and it kills nearly 9.6 million people annually. Besides the fatality of the disease, poor prognosis, cost of conventional therapies, and associated side-effects add more burden to patients, post-diagnosis. Therefore, the search for alternatives for the treatment of cancer that are safe, multi-targeted, effective, and cost-effective has compelled us to go back to ancient systems of medicine. Natural herbs and plant formulations are laden with a variety of phytochemicals. One such compound ...

PARP1 might enhance the therapeutic effect of tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside in traumatic brain injury via inhibition of Ras/JNK signalling pathway.
In this study, we firstly detected the oxidative stress response related molecules in serum samples of TBI patients and a TBI mice model, and found that oxidative stress response was activated after TBI, and TSG would reduce this effect. We further noticed that inflammation related molecules presented a similar trend with oxidative stress response related molecules. These results indicated that inflammatory response and oxidative stress processes were both activated after TBI, and reduced after TSG treatment. We further detected that the apoptosis related proteins and anti-oxidative proteins were increased after TSG treatm...

Tetrahydroxy stilbene glycoside alleviated inflammatory damage by mitophagy via AMPK related PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway.
In conclusion, these phenomena suggested that TSG prevented LPS/ATP and Aβ-induced inflammation via AMPK/PINK1/Parkin-dependent enhancement of mitophagy. We found the neuroprotective effect of TSG, suggesting it may be beneficial for AD prevention and treatment by suppressing the activation of inflammation.
