药物引起的肝损伤是全世界关注的健康问题,药源性肝损伤的早期诊断仍然是临床治疗肝损伤的一大难题。本研究中,首先利用对乙酰氨基酚、四氯化碳、大黄素、雷公藤甲素和马兜铃酸构建不同类型的肝细胞损伤模型,利用超高效液相色谱-质谱联用技术(UPLC-MS)分别得到正常组和损伤组的细胞代谢轮廓谱。然后利用模式识别构建分类模型,筛选肝损伤相关的差异代谢物。结果显示,不同类型肝损伤在肝细胞代谢谱上可以被区分开,最终鉴定出14种差异代谢物。损伤组肝细胞经保肝阳性药联苯双酯干预后,差异代谢物水平均趋向于正常组,在一定程度上验证了差异标志物与肝损伤的相关性。实验结果表明细胞代谢组学是研究药物肝损伤的有效工具之一。     

肝损伤代谢组学模型的构建及其中药提取物水飞蓟宾治疗的评价

利用四氯化碳致肝损伤动物模型,以尿液为样本,采用构建的色谱基线漂移和外源性代谢物信号消除的方法,获得了内源性代谢物总离子流色谱,建立了肝损伤代谢组学模型,该模型表达的四氯化碳致毒特征与组织细胞显微特征和血清学指标一致。当模型动物给予水飞蓟宾治疗时,治疗前的代谢组学分类特征与模型组一致,治疗后与正常对照组一致;代谢组学表征的"治疗后肝损伤回调"特征与肝组织显微成像特征一致,然而血清学指标虽然也明显回调,但还未回调到与正常对照组一致。由此表明,代谢组学疗效评价的灵敏性与"损伤性"的作为"金标准"的组织显微成像一致,而明显高于常规血清学检测。建立的代谢组学模型实现了非损伤、准确、灵敏的中药治疗评价。

Synthesis and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of chrysin,diosmetin, apigenin,and luteolin derivatives

Several derivatives have been synthesized from chrysin, diosmetin, apigenin, and luteolin, which were isolated from diverse natural plants. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of these compounds was evaluated. The glucosidase inhibitory activity of all derivatives （IC50 〈 24.396 μmol]L） was higher compared with that of the reference drug, acarbose （IC50=563.601 ±40.492μmol/L）, and 1- deoxynojirimycin （IC50 = 226.912± 12.573 μmol/L）. O3＇,O7-Hexyl diosmetin （IC50 = 2.406 ± 0.101μmol/L） was the most potent inhibitor identified. These compounds showed a higher inhibitory ability compared with their precursors except the luteolin derivatives. In general, the inhibitory activity of the synthetic derivatives was enhanced with long alkyl chains at positions 3＇, 4＇ and 7 of the flavonoid.

Synthesis and pharmacological properties of naturally occurring prenylated and pyranochalcones as potent anti-inflammatory agents

An efficient approach has been developed for the synthesis of naturally occurring prenylated chalcones viz. kanzonol C(1), stipulin(2), crotaorixin(3), medicagenin(4), licoagrochalcone A(5) and abyssinone D(6) along with the pyranochalcones paratocarpin C(7), anthyllisone(8) and 3-O-methylabyssinone A(9).The key step of the synthesis is a Claisen–Schmidt condensation. Subsequently, their anti-inflammatory effects were investigated in lipopolysaccharides(LPSs)-induced RAW-264.7 macrophages. Of the synthesized chalcones, compounds 5(IC_(50)= 10.41 μmol/L), 6(IC_(50)= 9.65 μmol/L) and 8(IC_(50)= 15.34 μmol/L) show remarkable activity with no cytotoxicity. Compound 9(IC_(50)= 4.5 μmol/L)exhibits maximum(83.6%) nitric oxide(NO) inhibition, but shows slight cytotoxicity. The results reveal that the chalcones bearing the prenyl group at 3- and/or 5-position on ring A(acetophenone moiety), i.e.,1–4 and 7 show weak, or no inhibition activity, whereas chalcones having the prenyl group only on ring B(aldehyde part), i.e., 5, 6 and 8 show significant activity on the production of inflammatory mediated NO with no cytotoxicity.     

Metabolic alterations in triptolide‐induced acute hepatotoxicity

Triptolide, a major active constitute of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F, is prescribed for the treatment of autoimmune diseases in China. One of its most severe adverse effects observed in the clinical use is hepatotoxicity, but the mechanism is still unknown. Therefore, the present study applied an LC/MS‐based metabolomic analysis to characterize the metabolomic changes in serum and liver induced by triptolide in mice. Mice were administered triptolide by gavage to establish the acute liver injury model, and serum biochemical and liver histological analyses were applied to assess the degree of toxicity. Multivariate data analyses were performed to investigate the metabolic alterations. Potential metabolites were identified using variable importance in the projection values and Student's t‐test. A total of 30 metabolites were observed that were significantly changed by triptolide treatment and the abundance of 29 metabolites was correlated with the severity of toxicity. Pathway analysis indicated that the mechanism of triptolide‐induced hepatotoxicity was related to alterations in multiple metabolic pathways, including glutathione metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, purine metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, pyrimidine metabolism and amino acid metabolism. The current study provides new mechanistic insights into the metabolic alterations that lead to triptolide‐induced hepatotoxicity.     

CuS/RGO hybrid by one-pot hydrothermal method for efficient electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide

In this study,a non-enzymatic hydrogen peroxide sensor was successfully fabricated on the basis of copper sulfide nanoparticles/reduced graphene oxide(CuS/RGO) electrocatalyst.Using thiourea as reducing agent and sulfur donor,CuS/RGO hybrid was synthesized through a facile one-pot hydrothermal method,where the reduction of GO and deposition of CuS nanoparticles on RGO occur simultaneously.The results confirmed that the CuS/RGO hybrid helps to prevent the aggregation of CuS nanoparticles.Electrochemical investigation showed that the as-prepared hydrogen peroxide sensor exhibited a low detection limit of 0.18μmol/L(S/N = 3),a good reproducibility(relative standard deviation(RSD) of4.21%),a wide linear range(from 3 to 1215 μmol/L) with a sensitivity of 216.9 μA L/mmol/cm~2 under the optimal conditions.Moreover,the as-prepared sensor also showed excellent selectivity and stability for hydrogen peroxide detection.The excellent performance of CuS/RGO hybrid,especially the lower detection limit than certain enzymes and noble metal nanomaterials ever reported,makes it a promising candidate for non-enzymatic H_2O_2 sensors.     

Expeditious synthesis,antileishmanial and antioxidant activities of novel 3-substituted-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives

A series of novel 3-substituted-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives 6(a–1) were synthesized in high yield using one-pot three component coupling reaction catalyzed by ceric ammonium nitrate. These compounds were evaluated for antileishmanial activity against Leishmania donovani promastigotes and antioxidant activity(DPPH-radical scavenging activity). Two compounds, 6h(IC_(50)= 9.90 μmol/L) and 6i(IC_(50)= 6.90 μmol/L) displayed potent antileishmanial activity when compared with standard antileishmanial agents pentamidine(IC_(50)= 16.15 μmol/L) and miltefosine(IC_(50)= 12.50 μmol/L). Three compounds, 6c(IC_(50)= 10.79 μmol/L), 6h(IC50= 10.60 μmol/L), and 6i(IC_(50)= 10.73 μmol/L) showed significant antioxidant activity favorably with the antioxidant standards butylated hydroxy toluene(IC_(50)= 16.47 μmol/L) and ascorbic acid(IC_(50)= 12.69 μmol/L). A molecular docking study of compounds 6(a–1) suggested a possible mode of binding with the Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase enzyme of L.donovani. ADME properties were predicted in silico and support the potential of 6(a–1) to show favorable drug-like properties.

Microwave-assisted One-pot Synthesis of Ag NPs/C and Its Application in H2O2 and Glucose Detection

The facile preparation of Ag NPs/C via a one-pot strategy was carried out by microwave treatment of a mixed aqueous solution of AgNO₃ and glucose at 180℃ for 20 min without the presence of extra reducing agent. The as-synthesized Ag NPs/C showed high catalytic performance toward the reduction of H₂O₂. The H₂O₂ sensor constructed with as-synthesized Ag NPs/C exhibited a short amperometric response time of less than 2 s. The linear range was approximately (0.1-50) mmol/L(r=0.997), and the detection limit was approximately 3.3 μmol/L at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. A glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing glucose oxidase onto Ag NPs/C- modified glassy carbon electrode to detect glucose. The glucose sensor had a wide linear response range of 2-22 mmol/L(r=0.999) and a detection limit of 190 μmol/L.     

Preparation of Au Nanoparticles Decorated Polyaniline Nanotube and Its Catalytic Oxidation to Ascorbic Acid

With sulfonated electrospun polystyrene fiber as a template, uniform polyaniline(PANI) nanotubes were fabricated via polymerization of aniline followed by template removal. Au nanoparticles(Au_nano) were decorated on the PANI nanotube successfully via auto-reduction of HAuCl₄ on the PANI nanotube.

Glassy carbon electrode modified with the Au_nano decorated PANI nanotubes (Au_nano-PANI/GCE) was prepared and used seccessfully for the catalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid(AA). The results of differential pulse voltammetry indicate that there is a good linear relationship between the peak currents and the concentrations of AA in the range of 5-3000 μmol/L, with the limit of detection of 1 μmol/L(S/N>3). There is no mutual interference between AA and dopamine. The electrode has been successfully applied in the detection of AA in vitamin C tablet sample.
