大黄蒽醌衍生物是中药大黄的主要成份。该类衍生物与钙调素(calmo-dulin,CaM)依赖的磷酸二酯酶(PDE)的相互作用表明:它们可作用子钙调素。其中,大黄酸结合CaM并抑制CaM依赖的磷酸二酯酶(CaM-PDE);而大黄素、大黄酚和芦荟大黄素既刺激CaM-PDE的活力,又刺激PDE的基础活力,其作用机制尚待阐明;当有Ca~(2+)或无Ca~(2+)条件下测定时,大黄酸对PDE基础活力均无影响。表明:象其它的CaM拮抗剂一样,大黄酸能抑制钙调素依赖的PDE的活力。 相似文献

Aloe-emodin (AE) and derivatives may be present as undesired components co-extracted during extraction of plants containing anthraquinonic derivatives for preparation of diacetylrhein. AE is a well-known in vitro mutagen, but up to now it failed to induce any clear in vivo genotoxic activity in the chromosome aberration assay in rat bone marrow or the in vivo/in vitro UDS test in liver. However, the two target organs noted during rodent carcinogenicity studies with danthron and emodin, two other well-known anthraquinone derivatives, are the colon and the kidney. Therefore, the choice of the organs for testing the genotoxicity of AE, i.e. bone marrow and liver, may be considered inadequate to demonstrate a possible in vivo genotoxic activity. In this context, the in vivo mouse comet assay was performed on both isolated kidney and colon cells in order to demonstrate a possible organospecific genotoxicity after oral administration of AE. Concurrently, the Ames test and the in vitro micronucleus assay with TK6 human lymphoblastoid cells were performed in their microscale version both with S9 from Aroclor 1254-induced liver or kidney, and without S9.AE induced primary DNA damage in the liver and in the kidney as observed between 3 and 6 h after two oral administrations at 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw, underlining an in vivo genotoxic mechanism of action. Furthermore, AE induced a clear genotoxic activity both in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1537 and TA98 and in the in vitro micronucleus assay in the absence as well as in the presence of metabolic activation. As no significant variation in the genotoxic activity of AE was noted when using either liver or kidney S9-mix, it seems that no quantitatively and/or qualitatively specific renal metabolism occurs. The kidney may be a target organ of AE as it is the major route of excretion. Under such conditions the separation of AE components should take place and the residual content of undesired AE derivatives should be made as low as reasonably achievable. AE present in plant extracts should be considered as an in vivo genotoxin and this property should be taken into account in the risk assessment for human exposure. 相似文献

The Bcl-2 family proteins include pro- and antiapoptotic factors acting as critical arbiters of apoptotic cell death decisions in most circumstances. Evasion of apoptosis is one of the hallmarks of cancer, relevant to tumorigenesis as well as resistance to cytotoxic drugs, and deregulation of Bcl-2 proteins was observed in many cancers. Since Bax-mediated induction of apoptosis is a crucial mechanism in cancerous cells, we aimed at conducting in silico analysis on Bax in order to predict the possible interactions for anticancer agents. The present report depicts the binding mode of aloe-emodin and its structurally modified derivatives onto Bax. The structural information about the binding site of Bax for docked compounds obtained from this study could aid in screening and designing new anticancer agents or selective inhibitors for chemotherapy against Bax. 相似文献

The antiproliferative activity of aloe-emodin is through p53-dependent and p21-dependent apoptotic pathway in human hepatoma cell lines 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
The aim of this study is to investigate the anticancer effect of aloe-emodin in two human liver cancer cell lines, Hep G2 and Hep 3B. We observed that aloe-emodin inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in both examined cell lines, but with different the antiproliferative mechanisms. In Hep G2 cells, aloe-emodin induced p53 expression and was accompanied by induction of p21 expression that was associated with a cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. In addition, aloe-emodin had a marked increase in Fas/APO1 receptor and Bax expression. In contrast, with p53-deficient Hep 3B cells, the inhibition of cell proliferation of aloe-emodin was mediated through a p21-dependent manner that did not cause cell cycle arrest or increase the level of Fas/APO1 receptor, but rather promoted aloe-emodin induced apoptosis by enhancing expression of Bax. These findings suggest that aloe-emodin may be useful in liver cancer prevention. 相似文献

Aloe-emodin (AE) is one of the most important active components of Rheum officinale Baill. The present study aimed to investigate that AE could attenuate scopolamine-induced cognitive deficits via inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and modulating oxidative stress. Kunming (KM) mice were received intraperitoneal injection of scopolamine (2 mg/kg) to induce cognitive impairment. Learning and memory performance were assessed in the Morris water maze (MWM). After behavioral testing, the mice were sacrificed and their hippocampi were removed for biochemical assays (superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), malondialdehyde (MDA), AChE and acetylcholine (ACh)). In vitro, we also performed the AChE activity assay and H2O2-induced PC12 cells toxicity assay. After 2 h exposure to 200 μM H2O2 in PC12 cells, the cytotoxicity were evaluated by cell viability (MTT), nitric oxide (NO)/lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Our results confirmed that AE showed significant improvement in cognitive deficit in scopolamine-induced amnesia animal model. Besides, it increased SOD, GPx activities and ACh content, while decreased the level of MDA and AChE activity in AE treated mice. In addition, AE was found to inhibit AChE activity (IC50 = 18.37 μg/ml) in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, preincubation of PC12 cells with AE could prevent cytotoxicity induced by H2O2 and reduce significantly extracellular release of NO, LDH and intracellular accumulation of ROS. The study indicated that AE could have neuroprotective effects against Alzheimer’s disease (AD) via inhibiting the activity of AChE and modulating oxidative stress. 相似文献
