Hepatoprotective effect of phenylethanoid glycosides from Incarvillea compacta against CCl4-induced cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells

Abstract

The extraction and solvent partition of roots of Incarvillea compacta, a traditional Tibetan folk medicine, and repeated column chromatography and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography for n-butanol fraction yielded four phenylethanoid glycosides, crenatoside (1), 3 000 -O-methylcrenatoside (2), leucoseceptoside A (3), and martynoside (4). The chemical structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic data analyses including NMR and MS. All compounds were isolated for the first time from the plant. Compound 1 exerted better 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activity. In addition, compounds 1-4 were evaluated for their hepatoprotective activity on carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 )-induced liver injury in HepG2 cells. Pretreatment of HepG2 cells with compound 1-4 significantly increased the viability on CCl 4 -induced cell death. Furthermore, compounds 1-4 also alleviated CCl 4 -induced hepatotoxicity by enhancement of the antioxidant enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase and reduction of the malondialdehyde content, intracellular ROS as well as NF-jB transactivation. Our results suggest that phenylethanoid glycosides ameliorate CCl 4 -induced cell injury, and this protection was likely due to antioxidative activity and down-regulation of NF-jB.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Chloranthalactone B in LPS-Stimulated RAW264.7 Cells

“…Twenty-microgram samples of cell lysates were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and transferred to PVDF membranes. Immunoblotting was performed as described previously [50]. The immunoreactive bands were detected by ECL detection system.…”

Hepatoprotective effect of meal replacement seeds juice based on sweet potato (MRSJ) against CCl4-induced cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells

“…The generated free radicals cause lipid hyperoxidation by attacking the lipid membranes in the vicinity, induce hepatotoxicity involving necrosis, and promote fatty infiltration or reduced microsomal enzyme activity by binding to the macromolecules such as intracellular proteins and lipids. They can change the antioxidant status of the tissues including the release of cytosolic enzymes, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), into the serum, and ultimately mediate apoptosis (Shen et al, 2015). Hence, the removal of ROS is critical in the treatment and prevention of hepatic diseases.…”

A New Cytotoxic Cyclolanostane Triterpenoid Xyloside from Souliea vaginata

“…Cells were incubated at 37°C in a moist atmosphere containing 5% CO 2 . HepG2 cells (5 × 10 4 /well) were plated in a 96-well plate for 16 h. Then, the medium was aspirated and replaced with serum-free medium of different concentrations of compound 2 for 6 h. After removing the supernatant of each well, 10 μL of MTT solution was added to each well at the time of incubation for 4 h. The formazan crystals were solubilized with 100 μL of MTT stop solution and measured using an Infinite M200 Pro spectrophotometer [13]. Cytoprotective activity of test samples on CCl 4 -induced cell injury was investigated.…”
