A metabolic exposure-oriented network regulation strategy for the identification of effective combination in the extract of Ginkgo biloba L.
Publication date: 5 February 2018 Source:Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, Volume 149 Author(s): Xin-Guang Liu, Cai-Yi Cheng, Ji-Xin Wang, Hong Luo, Li-Fan Tu, Lin Lin, Bin Wu, Hui-Ying Wang, Ke Liu, Ping Li, Hua Yang Nowadays, network pharmacology-based methods were increasing proposed to screen synergistic or combinatorial compounds from herbal medicines (HMs), while these researches mainly focused on structural prediction or experiment-based interaction between single compound and target protein. The proportion of each chemical in the nature and their metabolic process was ignored, which might decide a...

Neuroprotective effects of Ginkgo biloba extract and Ginkgolide B against oxygen –glucose deprivation/reoxygenation and glucose injury in a new in vitro multicellular network model
AbstractAcute ischemic stroke (AIS), as the third leading cause of death worldwide, is characterized by its high incidence, mortality rate, high incurred disability rate, and frequent reoccurrence. The neuroprotective effects ofGinkgo biloba extract (GBE) against several cerebral diseases have been reported in previous studies, but the underlying mechanisms of action are still unclear. Using a novelin vitro rat cortical capillary endothelial cellastrocyte- neuron network model, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of GBE and one of its important constituents, Ginkgolide B (GB), against oxygen –glucose deprivation/...

Long-term pre-treatment of antioxidant Ginkgo biloba extract EGb-761 attenuates cerebral-ischemia-induced neuronal damage in aged mice.
Abstract Antioxidant activity has been attributed to the neuroprotective effects of Ginkgo biloba extract EGb-761 on brain disorders including ischemic stroke. It is suggested that oxidative stress implicates in neuron injuries during aging. However, whether or not EGb-761 could be used to treat age-related cerebral ischemia is unclear. In the present study, we directly studied the protective effects of EGb-761 in brain ischemia in the mice with different age. As expected, the recovery from brain damages was impaired in aged mice (24 months) in an animal model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Notably, a...

Voodoo Medicine: Time To Stop
The world's most celebrated athlete standing on the podium in Rio in honor of receiving yet another gold medal has something important in common with your lazy uncle throwing back a cold one in his Barcalounger. Yes, swimming powerhouse Michael Phelps, purple-spotted from cupping therapy, and your slovenly relative with a beer gut both share a bond -- a weakness in succumbing to the allure of voodoo medicine. Modern-day snake oil salesmen hawking quick cures and TV doctors peddling the latest diet miracle with blatantly ridiculous claims are everywhere on the tube, social media, the supermarket and old-fashioned billboards...

Traditional Chinese Patent Medicine for Acute Ischemic Stroke: An Overview of Systematic Reviews Based on the GRADE Approach
Abstract: The aim of the study is to conduct an overview of systematic reviews (SRs) to provide a contemporary review of the evidence for delivery of Traditional Chinese Patent Medicine (TCPMs) for patients with acute ischemic stroke. SRs were assessed for quality using the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) tool and the Oxman-Guyatt Overview Quality Assessment Questionnaire (OQAQ). We assessed the quality of the evidence of high methodological quality (an AMSTAR score ≥9 or an OQAQ score ≥7) for reported outcomes using the GRADE (the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) a...

Ginkgo biloba Extract Prevents Female Mice from Ischemic Brain Damage and the Mechanism Is Independent of the HO1/Wnt Pathway
Abstract It is well known that gender differences exist in experimental or clinical stroke with respect to brain damage and loss of functional outcome. We have previously reported neuroprotective properties of Ginkgo biloba/EGb 761® (EGb 761) in transient and permanent mouse models of brain ischemia using male mice, and the mechanism of action was attributed to the upregulation of the heme oxygenase 1 (HO1)/Wnt pathway. Here, we sought to investigate whether EGb 761’s protective effect in ovariectomized female mice following stroke is also mediated by the HO1/Wnt pathway. Female mice were ovariectomized (OVX) t...

Ginkgo biloba Extract (EGb 761®) Inhibits Glutamate‐induced Up‐regulation of Tissue Plasminogen Activator Through Inhibition of c‐Fos Translocation in Rat Primary Cortical Neurons
In this study, we investigated the effects of EGb 761 on the basal and glutamate‐induced activity and expression of tPA in rat primary cortical neurons. Under basal condition, EGb 761 inhibited both secreted and cellular tPA activities, without altering tPA mRNA level, as modulated by the activation of p38. Compared with basal condition, EGb 761 inhibited the glutamate‐induced up‐regulation of tPA mRNA resulting in the normalization of overt tPA activity and expression. c‐Fos is a component of AP‐1, which plays a critical role in the modulation of tPA expression. Interestingly, EGb 761 inhibited c‐Fos nuclear t...

Neuroprotective Effects of Ginkgolide B against Ischemic Stroke: a Review of Current Literature.
Abstract Extensive evidences have shown the promising effects of Ginkgo biloba consumption on several diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, ischemic stroke, etc. Several studies also reported its beneficial role on motor activity and cognitive function. This species contain unique class of diterpene, namely Ginkgolide B, which possess several pharmacological activities such as protective effect against cardiovascular disease; the most important causes of death worldwide. The promising effects of Ginkgolide B on stroke, both ischemic and hemorrhagic, are suggested by an overwhelming body of scientific evidences. M...
