    Steroids, 2018
    Co-Authors: Feng-ying Han, Xiao-yu Song, Jing-jie Chen, Guo-dong Yao, Shaojiang Song
    Abstract:

    Timosaponin AIII, a major steroidal saponin found in Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge., which has been widely used as anti-pyretic, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet aggregator and anti-depressant agents in traditional Chinese medicine. Recent pharmacological study showed that timosaponin AIII had potent cytotoxicity, which was potential to be developed as an anticancer agent, however the molecular mechanism underlying the anticancer activity has not been fully elucidated. This review aims to give a systematic summary of the study of timosaponin AIII to reveal its anti-tumor activities by investigating invasion and migration, apoptosis, autophagy and reversing multi-drug resistance. Furthermore, we also make an overview of the mechanisms identified till now. These meaningful findings may provide novel insights on exploiting timosaponin AIII as a new anti-tumor agent.

    Abstract:

    Two new components, Anemarrhena A (1) and Anemarrhena B (2), together with five known ones (3–7), were isolated from the rhizome of Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. Their structures were established by detailed spectral studies, including 1D-NMR (1H NMR, 13C NMR and DEPT), 2D-NMR (HSQC, HMBC and NOESY), HR-ESI-MS and by the comparison with literature data. The absolute configuration of 2 was further determined by CD analysis. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their antiplatelet aggregative activity. Compounds 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 exhibited moderate activity of antiplatelet aggregation in vitro, compound 4 showed potential antiplatelet aggregation activity.

  • The water-eluting component of Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. laxative effects on loperamide-induced constipation rats
    2020
    Co-Authors: Yan Liu, Yong-gang Xia, Bing-you Yang, Yanping Sun, Hai-xue Kuang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background Slow transit functional constipation (STC) is the most common type of chronic constipation,with seriously affecting people's survival and quality of life in the recent years. Based on the safety and small side effects of traditional Chinese medicine, it is urgent to research and develop new medicine for the treatment of constipation. As a traditional Chinese medicine, Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. has been reported treat constipation in a long time, and carbohydrate is its active ingredient. Methods ELISA used for detection of serum gastrointestinal hormones and neurotransmitters levels. HE stain was analyzed to evaluate the colon injury. Western blot and RT-PCR detected interstitial cells of Cajal markers (SCF/c-Kit) and aquaporins (AQPs). Results The mainly compositions of oligosaccharide and amino acid from AABW was determined by HPLC. Based on the laxative activities of AABW in the study, AABW obviously enhanced the contents of VIP, Gas, MTL, SP and 5-HT and decreased the levels of NO from loperamide-induced rats by Elisa kits. Additionally, AABW could up-regulate the expressions of SCF, c-Kit, AQP3, VIP and down-regulate AQP8 to repair the damage of colon. Conclusion These findings suggested that AABW, which could treat constipation through mediating intestinal motility and water metabolism, were laxative active constituents from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge..

  • Physicochemical properties and laxative effects of polysaccharides from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. in loperamide-induced rats.
    Journal of ethnopharmacology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Yan Liu, Wei Guan, Yong-gang Xia, Yuan-yuan Zhou, Bing-you Yang, Hai-xue Kuang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance As a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. possesses the effects of nourishing yin, moistening dryness, clearing lungs and relieving fire. Simultaneously, it has been used to treat constipation for more than one thousand years in China. However, modern medical studies are limited and lacking on its therapeutic mechanism. Aim of the study: This current study was aimed to investigate the laxative activities and explore the potential mechanism of Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. polysaccharides (AABP) in loperamide-induced constipation rats. Materials and methods The structure of AABP was determined by using infrared spectrum, high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), multitudinous methods were adopted to explore the underlining therapeutic mechanism of AABP in treating constipation, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), histopathological, immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Results In the present study, the average molecular weight of AABP was determined as 1.11 × 103 kDa. The primary monosaccharide compositions were analyzed including D-mannose, L-rhamnose, D-galacturonic acid, D-glucose, D-galactose and L-arabinose (1, 0.04, 0.53, 0.11, 0.33, 0.25, respectively) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). AABP significantly increased the levels of gastrin (Gas), motilin (MTL), substance P (SP), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and decreased the NO content of loperamide-induced rats to ameliorate constipation in the rats. Whilst, AABP repaired the damaged colons by regulating PCNA and ICAM-1 protein expressions. Additionally, AABP up-regulated the levels of SCF, c-Kit, AQP3 and VIP as well as down-regulated the expressions of AQP8, AQP4 and PGE2. Conclusion The present findings suggested that AABP were the laxative active ingredients isolated from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge., which could treat constipation through regulating the gastrointestinal hormones and neurotransmitters to improve the intestinal motility and water metabolism.

    2018
    Co-Authors: Yunfang Zhao, Yu-wei Zhang, Yinru Wang, Tingting Shang, Susan L. Morris-natschke, Wei Liu, Hong Yin, Kuo-hsiung Lee, Xue-feng Huang
    Abstract:

    Timosaponin B III is a major bioactive steroidal saponin isolated from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. To potentially discover derivatives with better biological activity, timosaponin B III was structurally modified via acid hydrolysis to yield one new (2, timopregnane A I) C21 steroidal glycoside and seven known compounds. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. All eight compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against MCF7, SW480, HepG2, and SGC7901 cell lines in vitro. As a result, compounds 6 and 7 showed significant activity (IC50 2.94–12.2 μM) against all tested cell lines. Structure–activity relationships of these compounds were investigated and the preliminary conclusions were provided. Moreover, a new transformation pathway was discovered in the acid hydrolysis of timosaponin B III for the first time.
