Transdermal behaviors comparisons among Evodia rutaecarpa extracts with different purity of evodiamine and rutaecarpine and the effect of topical formulation in vivo

Aim

Evodiamine (EVO) and rutaecapine (RUT), the major active components from Evodia rutaecarpa extract (EE), are recognized as a depended analgesic agent. This study was designed to investigate the effect of purity and chemical enhancers on the transdermal behavior of EVO and RUT, and the pharmacological effect of their topical cream in vivo.

Material and methods

Transdermal delivery across a full thickness pig abdominal skin was detected in vitro by Franz-type diffusion cell, with HPLC for quantification of the permeation of EVO and RUT. The activity of topical cream in vivo was evaluated by a mice pain model induced by formalin and hot plate.

Results

Transdermal characters of EVO and RUT showed a low transdermal rate, long lag time and low cumulative amount. The transdermal rate and cumulative amount could be promoted by lipophilic enhancers, whereas lag time was shortened by hydrophilic surfactant, but these permeation parameters were not markedly influenced by purity of EE (p > 0.05). The effect in vivo was confirmed by analgesic models in topical cream of EE, which produced a significant (p < 0.05) inhibitory effects on pain response in dose-dependent manner.

Conclusion

The purity of EVO and RUT from EE has no significant effect on their permeation through porcine skin, but oleic acid or nerolidol can markedly elevate the transdermal rate of EVO and RUT. High purity of EE is the best choice for topical preparation to increase the drug loading. The effect of EE in vivo is verified by formalin model and hot plate test.     

Study on the hypoglycemic activities and metabolism of alcohol extract of Alismatis Rhizoma

The Alisma rhizoma is widely used in the therapy of diabetes in traditional folk medicine of China. Compositional analysis of the alcohol extract of Alismatis Rhizoma (AEA) revealed that the eight compounds gotten from AEA are all belonging to protostane-type triterpenes. The AEA and compounds were incubated with 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, glucose level in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes culture medium and lipid content in 3T3-L1 adipocytes were measured, and analysis of alpha-glucosidase inhibition of AEA and compounds. At the same time, the uptake of AEA by 3T3-L1 adipocytes and the metabolism of AEA in SD rats were analyzed by HPLC-ESI/MS. As result, AEA increased glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocyte model, not increase adipogenesis; AEA inhibited alpha-glucosidase activity; alisol A-24-aceate (8) was absorbed by 3T3-L1 adipocytes; and two compounds were detected in blood and three were detected in urine in SD rats. So AEA had protostane-type triterpenes, these type compounds in AEA may have hypoglycemic activity via inhibition of alpha-glucosidase activity and promotion of glucose uptake. In contrast to the anti-diabetic drug thiazolidinediones, they did not induce adipogenesis, avoiding the displeased effects of rosiglitazone.

Excess dietary cholesterol may have an adverse effect on growth performance of early post-larval Litopenaeus vannamei

One experiment was conducted to determine the nutritive value of cholesterol for post-larval shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Four isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets supplemented with four levels of cholesterol (D1, D2, D3 and D4 with 0, 0.5%, 1% and 2% cholesterol, respectively) were fed to triplicate groups of L. vannamei shrimp (mean initial wet weight 0.8 mg) for 27 days. After the trial, shrimp fed the D1 diet had the best growth performance (final body weights: FBW; weight gain: WG; specific growth rate: SGR), while there was no significant difference between diet treatments with respect to survival. The whole body crude protein level in the shrimp decreased with the increase in dietary cholesterol levels, while the whole body crude lipid level in shrimps in the D4 diet treatment was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than in other diet treatments. Dietary analysis indicated that the D1 diet contained 0.92% cholesterol prior to supplementation, which may have satisfied the dietary cholesterol requirement of post-larval L. vannamei; excess dietary cholesterol may thus lead to adverse effects on the growth performance of post-larval shrimp.     

川乌头F3′5′H基因的cDNA克隆与表达分析

利用RT-PCR结合RACE技术,从川乌头(Aconitum carmichaeli Debx.)花朵中克隆到1个类黄酮-3′,5′-羟基化酶基因的cDNA全长序列,全长1720bp,包含1个编码506个氨基酸的开放阅读框,命名为Ac-F3′5′H(GenBank登录号:JN635708)。序列分析表明Ac-F3′5′H编码的氨基酸序列中包含有已确定的保守基序,包括CYP基序、I螺旋区和血红素结合区等。氨基酸序列比对显示Ac-F3′5′H与其它物种的F3′5′H有很高的序列相似性。以川乌头18SrRNA基因(FJ748878)为内参,通过半定量RT-PCR对Ac-F3′5′H的时空表达模式进行了分析,结果显示Ac-F3′5′H随花朵发育,表达量呈递增趋势,并且在正在开放的花朵中达到最高,而在根、茎、叶中不表达,推测该基因可能在调节川乌头蓝色花朵形成中发挥作用。     

Effects of IL-32γ on proliferation and cell cycle of rat vascular smooth muscle cells

AIM: To observe the effects of interleukin-32γ (IL-32γ)on the proliferation and cell cycle of rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS: The VSMCs were isolated from the thoracic aorta of SD rats by the method of tissue-piece inoculation. The cells were cultured and treated with different concentrations of IL-32γ. The proliferation of the cells was examined by MTT assay. The cell cycles were analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of NF-κB p65 and cyclin D1 were detected by Western blotting. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)was examined by immunocytochemical staining. RESULTS: Administration of IL-32γ at the concentrations of 10~50 μg/L for 24~48 h significantly promoted the proliferation of VSMCs in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After stimulation with IL-32γ at the concentration of 50 μg/L for 24 h, the cell cycle transition from G₁ phase to S/G₂ phase was accelerated and the expression levels of NF-κB p65, cyclin D1 and PCNA increased as compared with those in control group. CONCLUSION: IL-32γ promotes the proliferation of rat VSMCs and accelerates the cell cycle transition via upregulating the expression of NF-κB p65 and cyclin D1.
