A total of 20 compounds were isolated and identified based on spectroscopic methods, as succinic acid （1）, mono-methyl succinate （2）, L-malic acid （3）, L-l-methyl malate （4）, L-4-methyl malate （5）, L-dimethyl malate （6）, L-6-ethyl citrate （7）, L-1-methyl citrate （8）, L-1,5-dimethyl citrate （9）, 4-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3-carboxylic acid （10）, 5-hydroxymethyl-furoic acid （11）, stearic acid （12）, L-pyroglutamic acid （13）, cyclo-（tyrosine-leucine） （14）, L-isoleucine （15）, （-）-dehydrovomifoliol （16）, （-）-epiloliolide （17）, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol （18）, succinimide （19）, and uracil （20）. Among them, 14 compounds （2, 4-8, 10, 11, 13-18） were isolated from P. oleracea for the first time. Compotmd 18 （12.5 μM） exhibited potent anti-inflammatory effect in lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced macrophage cells （RAW264.7） by reducing NO production, and it also increased QR activity in Hepa lclc7 cells. Compound 16 （50 μM） showed weak QR inductive activity. None of other compounds showed anti-inflammatory or QR inductive activities.展开更多

文摘目的:研究熊果酸对经氧化性低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL)干预后人脐静脉血管内皮细胞(human umbilical vein endothelial cells,HUVECs)醌还原氧化酶1表达的影响,以进一步探讨熊果酸抗动脉粥样硬化的机制。方法:体外培养人脐静脉内皮细胞,进行分组处理,每组n=5。对照组,不加任何处理;ox-LDL组,加入ox-LDL培养24h,终浓度为20mg/L;ox-LDL+低浓度熊果酸组,先加入ox-LDL(浓度20mg/L)孕育半小时,然后与熊果酸(浓度1.5μmlo/L)共同培养24h;ox-LDL+高浓度熊果酸组,先加入ox-LDL(浓度20mg/L)孕育半小时,然后与熊果酸(浓度4.5μmlo/L)共同培养24h;采用MTT试验测定细胞吸光度值,检测熊果酸对ox-LDL损伤的保护作用,采用RT-PCR法检测NQO1mRNA的表达,采用Western blot法检测NQO1蛋白的表达。结果:熊果酸减弱ox-LDL对HUVECs的损伤作用;ox-LDL组NQO1mRNA的表达量(0.624±0.009)明显高于对照组(0.521±0.007),P<0.01。熊果酸呈浓度依赖性的提高NQO1mRNA的表达量(ox-LDL+低浓度熊果酸组vs ox-LDL组:0.722±0.058 vs 0.624±0.009,P<0.01;ox-LDL+高浓度熊果酸组vs ox-LDL组:0.826±0.059 vs 0.624±0.009,P<0.01)。ox-LDL组NQO1蛋白的表达量(0.624±0.009)明显高于对照组(0.521±0.007),P<0.01。熊果酸呈浓度依赖性的提高NQO1蛋白的表达量(ox-LDL+低浓度熊果酸组vs ox-LDL组:0.710±0.058 vs 0.574±0.024,P<0.01;ox-LDL+高浓度熊果酸组vs ox-LDL组:0.831±0.034 vs 0.574±0.024,P<0.01)。结论:熊果酸可上调ox-LDL诱导的人脐静脉血管内皮细胞NQO1的表达,表明其可能具有抗氧化应激及抗动脉粥样硬化的作用。
