Abstract

Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is significantly associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. Syzygium polyanthum is a plant rich in pharmacological properties. Aims: To evaluate the anti-inflammation and antioxidant potential of S. polyanthum bioactive compounds using in silico approach.

Methods: The S. polyanthum was extracted using the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method, and the bioactive compounds were screened using Liquid Chromatography–High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analysis. This study predicted the biological activity of S. polyanthum compounds using PASS Online server. Before docking, we analyzed the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) network of TNFα, NF-kB, SOD, and KEAP1. The molecular docking was done using Autodock Vina in PyRx software and visualized using Discovery Studio. Probability to be active (Pa) was determined.

Results: The bioactive compounds found in S. polyanthum and used in this study were deoxyphomalone, NCGC00169066-01, and phloretin with retention times [min] of 0.886, 0.907, and 8.323, respectively. The predicted biological activity of compounds and controls were anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressant, TNF expression inhibitor, immunomodulatory and HIF1α expression inhibitor (Pa>0.5 for all S. polyanthum compounds and Pa<0.5 for SPD304, MG-132, and MDF). Based on PPIs network analysis, TNFα, NF-kB, SOD, and KEAP1 are associated. The molecular docking analysis showed that deoxyphomalone, NCGC00169066-01, and phloretin had inhibition potential against TNFα and NF-kB, and activation potential against SOD, due to several residues involved in the interaction of compounds-protein was the same as the interaction of inhibitor (SPD-304 and MG-132) and activator (gallic acid) control against the protein. The residues may have the same inhibition or activation mechanism as the control. However, S. polyanthum bioactive compounds may still have inhibition potential against KEAP1 through Ala548 residue that is also involved in the interaction of DMF-KEAP1.

Conclusions: The bioactive compounds of S. polyanthum showed anti-inflammation and antioxidant potential, which may have a good effect in the treatment of PCOS, yet still need to be confirmed in vitro or in vivo research.

Keywords: antioxidant; inflammation; molecular docking; polycystic ovary syndrome; Syzygium polyanthum.

Resumen

Contexto: El síndrome de ovario poliquístico (SOP) está significativamente asociado con la inflamación y el estrés oxidativo. Syzygium polyanthum es una planta rica en propiedades farmacológicas. Objetivos: Evaluar el potencial anti-inflamatorio y antioxidante de los compuestos bioactivos de S. polyanthum utilizando un enfoque in silico.

Métodos: S. polyanthum se extrajo mediante el método de extracción asistida por ultrasonido (UAE), y los compuestos bioactivos se seleccionaron mediante análisis de cromatografía líquida-espectrometría de masas de alta resolución (LC-HRMS). Este estudio predijo la actividad biológica de los compuestos de S. polyanthum utilizando el servidor PASS Online. Antes del acoplamiento, analizamos la red de interacciones proteína-proteína (PPI) de TNFα, NF-kB, SOD y KEAP1. El acoplamiento molecular se realizó con Autodock Vina en el software PyRx y se visualizó con Discovery Studio. Se determinó la probabilidad de estar activo (Pa).

Resultados: Los compuestos bioactivos encontrados en S. polyanthum y utilizados en este estudio fueron desoxifomalona, ​​NCGC00169066-01 y floretina con tiempos de retención [min] de 0,886; 0,907 y 8,323, respectivamente. La actividad biológica predicha de los compuestos y controles fue anti-inflamatoria, inmunosupresora, inhibidora de la expresión de TNF, inmunomoduladora e inhibidora de la expresión de HIF1α (Pa>0,5 para todos los compuestos de S. polyanthum y Pa<0,5 para SPD304, MG-132 y MDF). Según el análisis de red de PPI, se asocian TNFα, NF-kB, SOD y KEAP1. El análisis de acoplamiento molecular mostró que la desoxifomalona, ​​NCGC00169066-01 y la floretina tenían potencial de inhibición contra TNFα y NF-kB, y potencial de activación contra SOD, debido a que varios residuos involucrados en la interacción de compuestos-proteína eran los mismos que la interacción del inhibidor (SPD-304 y MG-132) y activador (ácido gálico) controlan contra la proteína. Los residuos pueden tener el mismo mecanismo de inhibición o activación que el control. Sin embargo, los compuestos bioactivos de S. polyanthum aún pueden tener un potencial de inhibición contra KEAP1 a través del residuo Ala548 que también está involucrado en la interacción de DMF-KEAP1.

Conclusiones: Los compuestos bioactivos de S. polyanthum mostraron potencial anti-inflamatorio y antioxidante, lo que puede tener un buen efecto en el tratamiento del SOP, pero aún debe confirmarse en investigaciones in vitro o in vivo.

Abstract

Context: The anti-nociceptive and anti-pyretic properties of the crude aqueous extract of Anogeissus leiocarpa (DC). Guill. & Perr. leaves have been reported.

Aims: To investigate the anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, and anti-pyretic properties of aqueous extract of A. leiocarpa leaves (AEAL) and its fractions to identify the bioactive compound(s).

Methods: AEAL was fractionated successively and eluted in gradients of solvent mixture (n-hexane, ethylacetate, and methanol). Eluates, which showed similar TLC profiles were pooled to afford 5 fractions (F1-F5). AEAL and the fractions were subjected to phytochemical analysis and investigated for anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, and anti-pyretic effects using carrageenan-induced paw edema and Brewer’s yeast-induced pyrexia in rats, and acetic acid-induced writhing in mouse models, respectively.

Results: Phytochemical analysis indicated presence of terpenoids, saponins, steroids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins and alkaloids. At 200 mg/kg b.w, AEAL and F1-F5 recorded significant (p<0.05) improvements in paw edema, abdominal constrictions and pyrexia, which is comparable to the standard (ketoprofen or Aspirin), relative to the control groups, with F4 observed to be the most potent fraction. GC-MS analysis of F4 reveal the presence of hexadecenoic acid, 15-methyl-, methylester, 9-oxabicyclo (6.1.0) nonane, cis-, cholest-4-en-3-one, cholesterol and 3-diazo-1-methyl-1, 3-dihydro-indol-2-one.

Conclusions: The results indicate that identified compounds, particularly 3-dihydro-indol-2-one, could be responsible for the anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, and anti-pyretic properties of the extract.

Keywords: Anogeissus leiocarpa; anti-inflammatory; antinociception; antipyretic; inflammation; NSAID; pyrexia.

Resumen

Contexto: Se han reportado las propiedades anti-nociceptivas y antipiréticas del extracto acuoso crudo de hojas de Anogeissus leiocarpa (DC). Guill. & Perr.

Objetivos: Investigar las propiedades antiinflamatorias, anti-nociceptivas y antipiréticas del extracto acuoso de hojas de A. leiocarpa (AEAL) y sus fracciones para identificar los compuestos bioactivos.

Métodos: AEAL se fraccionó sucesivamente y se eluyó en gradientes de mezcla de solventes (n-hexano, acetato de etilo y metanol). Los eluatos que mostraron perfiles de TLC similares se agruparon para proporcionar 5 fracciones (F1-F5). AEAL y las fracciones se sometieron a análisis fitoquímicos y se investigaron los efectos antiinflamatorios, anti-nociceptivos y antipiréticos utilizando edema de la pata inducido por carragenina y pirexia inducida por levadura de Brewer en ratas, y retorcimiento inducido por ácido acético en modelos de ratón, respectivamente.

Resultados: El análisis fitoquímico indicó presencia de terpenoides, saponinas, esteroides, glucósidos, flavonoides, taninos y alcaloides. A 200 mg/kg p.c., AEAL y F1-F5 registraron mejoras significativas (p<0,05) en el edema de la pata, constricciones abdominales y pirexia que es comparable al estándar (ketoprofeno o Aspirina), en relación con los grupos de control, y se observó que F4 era la fracción más potente. El análisis GC-MS de F4 revela la presencia de ácido hexadecenoico, 15-metil-, éster metílico, 9-oxabiciclo (6.1.0) nonano, cis-, colest-4-en-3-ona, colesterol y 3-diazo-1 -metil-1,3-dihidro-indol-2-ona.

Conclusiones: Los resultados indican que los compuestos identificados, particularmente la 3-dihidro-indol-2-ona, podrían ser responsables de las propiedades anti-inflamatorias, anti-nociceptivas y anti-piréticas del extracto.

Abstract

Context: Several experimental results and clinical reports using Mangifera indica L extract (MSBE) suggest its potential utility in osteoarthritis (OA) mixed pain.

Aims: To examine the possible therapeutic effects and safety of supplementation on osteoarthritis (OA) pain.

Methods: Fifty patients with painful knee OA who had undergone a year of conventional treatment that included paracetamol and non-pharmacological therapies were randomly allocated to the experimental group (n = 21), which received a daily dose of 900 mg of extract supplementation or preceding usual treatment and placebo in the same form (n = 17) for a period of 120 days. The primary measure outcome was the change in the average daily pain diary score (ADPS) using the Likert scale. Also, a multidimensional measure of pain, stiffness and functional disability on The Western Ontario and Mc Master Universities (WOMAC) index for knee OA and ultrasonographic chronic signs of synovitis such as effusion and synovial thickness were evaluated.

Results: Change from baseline in ADPS of the MSBE supplemented group showed a significant reduction after two weeks that lasted for 120 days with respect to the placebo group. Significant improvements in pain and functional disability WOMAC sub-scores, number of joints with synovial thickness and effusion after MSBE supplementation vs. placebo were observed. Non-adverse effects were reported in the experimental group.

Conclusions: These results suggest that MSBE supplementation has a beneficial effect on OA pain and disability.

Keywords: inflammation; Mangifera indica extract; mangiferin; osteoarthritis; pain.

Abstract

Context: Celecoxib (Cele), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is linked with a spectrum of hepatotoxic influences, however the underlying mechanism (s) by which this drug induces liver damage is still unexplored.

Aims: To demonstrate the hepatotoxic mechanism (s) of Cele in rats and the prophylactic roles of melatonin (Mel) and/or quercetin(Qr).

Methods: Rats were divided into eight groups, GI, served as control group; GII, Mel (12 mg/kg/day) treated group; GIII, Qr (10 mg/kg/day) treated group; GIV, Mel and Qr treated group; GV, Cele (50 mg/kg/day) treated group; GVI, Cele treated group concurrently with Mel GVII, Cele treated group concurrently with Qr; GVIII, Cele treated group concurrently with the combination of the two agents. The efficiency of Mel and/or Qr on hepatic histomorphology was also investigated.

Results: Cele significantly reduced hepatic succinate dehydrogenase and adenosine triphosphate and increased adenosine diphosphate versus the control group. Cele also caused rising in hepatic malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-β, caspase-3 and hydroxyproline as well as DNA damage along with depletion in catalase and glutathione reductase. Alteration in serum liver function markers and its histologic architecture were also observed in Cele treated group. Co-treatment of Cele treated rats with Mel and/or Qr, effectively ameliorated the deteriorations in the studied parameters as well as the histomorphologic liver pictures.

Conclusions: Mel and/or Qr could protect the liver from Cele, toxicity, which was more pronounced in rats treated with the combination of the two agents.

Keywords: celecoxib; inflammation; liver; melatonin; oxidative stress; quercetin.

Resumen

Contexto: Celecoxib (Cele), un fármaco antiinflamatorio no esteroideo (AINE) está vinculado con un espectro de influencias hepatotóxicas; sin embargo, el mecanismo o mecanismos subyacentes por los que este fármaco induce daño hepático aún no se ha explorado.

Objetivos: Demostrar los mecanismos hepatotóxicos de Cele en ratas y las funciones profilácticas de melatonina (Mel) y/o quercetina (Qr).

Métodos: Las ratas se dividieron en ocho grupos, GI, sirvió como grupo control; Grupo tratado con GII, Mel (12 mg/kg/día); Grupo tratado con GIII, Qr (10 mg/kg/día); Grupo tratado con GIV, Mel y Qr; Grupo tratado con GV, Cele (50 mg/kg/día); GVI, grupo tratado con Cele al mismo tiempo que Mel GVII, grupo tratado con Cele al mismo tiempo que Qr; GVIII, grupo tratado con Cele al mismo tiempo que la combinación de los dos agentes. También se investigó la eficacia de Mel y/o Qr en la histomorfología hepática.

Resultados: Cele redujo significativamente la succinato deshidrogenasa hepática y el trifosfato de adenosina y aumentó el difosfato de adenosina en comparación con el grupo de control. Cele también provocó un aumento de malondialdehído hepático, óxido nítrico, factor de necrosis tumoral α, factor de crecimiento transformante β, caspasa 3 e hidroxiprolina, así como daño en el ADN junto con el agotamiento de la catalasa y la glutatión reductasa. También se observaron alteraciones en los marcadores de función hepática en suero y su arquitectura histológica en el grupo tratado con Cele. El tratamiento conjunto de ratas tratadas con Cele con Mel y/o Qr mejoró eficazmente el deterioro de los parámetros estudiados, así como las imágenes histomorfológicas del hígado.

Conclusiones: Mel y/o Qr podrían proteger al hígado de la toxicidad de Cele, que fue más pronunciada en ratas tratadas con la combinación de los dos agentes.

Abstract

Context: Mimusops coriacea (Sapotaceae) is traditionally used to treat inflammation of the urethra, cystitis, diarrhea, and dysentery, among others. In Ecuador it is used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory, however the phytochemical and pharmacological information is scarce.

Aims: To evaluate the chemical composition, antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory activity of the M. coriacea fruits in two stages of ripening.

Methods: An extraction with hexane by Soxhlet of the oils of the seeds of green and mature fruits was carried out. Saponifiable and unsaponifiable fractions were analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Hydroalcoholic extracts were obtained by maceration from the green and ripe whole fruits and were tested by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). Antioxidant capacity by FRAP, DPPH and ABTS and anti-inflammatory activity using the plantar edema model by carrageenan were evaluated.

Results: In the saponifiable fractions, four fatty acids were identified (majority 9-octadecenoic acid) and in the unsaponifiable ones four compounds were assigned to green fruits and nine to mature fruits, the majority being squalene and urs-12-en-24-oico, 3-oxo-methyl ester, respectively. By LC-MS 31 compounds were identified, associated with phenolic compounds and triterpenic saponins. The extracts showed Fe3+ reducing capacity and antiradical activity, the green fruit extract was the most active (IC50s = 4.99 μg/mL and 246.80 μg/mL, DPPH and ABTS, respectively). The anti-inflammatory activity of the extracts was demonstrated with inhibition percentages greater than 50% by using indomethacin as reference drug.

Conclusions: The results provide the first findings of the phytochemical and bioactive potential of the M. coriacea species that grows in Ecuador.

Keywords: anti-inflammatory activity;antioxidant activity; GC-MS; LC-MS; Mimusops coriacea.

Resumen

Contexto: Mimusops coriacea (Sapotaceae) se emplea tradicionalmente para el tratamiento de la inflamación de la uretra, cistitis, diarreas y disentería, entre otros. En Ecuador se utiliza como analgésico y antiinflamatorio, sin embargo, la información fitoquímica y farmacológica es escasa.

Objetivos: Evaluar la composición química, la capacidad antioxidante y la actividad antiinflamatoria de los frutos de M. coriacea en dos estados de maduración.

Métodos: Se realizó una extracción por Soxhlet, con hexano, de los aceites de las semillas de frutos verdes y maduros. Las fracciones saponificables e insaponificables fueron analizadas por CG-EM. Se obtuvieron extractos hidroalcohólicos por maceración a partir de los frutos completos verdes y maduros y se ensayaron por CL-EM. Se evaluó la capacidad antioxidante por FRAP, DPPH y ABTS y la actividad antiinflamatoria mediante el modelo de edema plantar por carragenina.

Resultados: En las fracciones saponificables se identificaron cuatro ácidos grasos (ácido 9-octadecenoico mayoritario) y en las insaponificables se asignaron cuatro compuestos a los frutos verdes y nueve a los frutos maduros, siendo los mayoritarios el escualeno y el ácido urs-12-en-24-oico, 3-oxo-metil éster, respectivamente. Se identificaron 31 compuestos por CL-EM, asociados a compuestos fenólicos y saponinas triterpénicas. Los extractos mostraron capacidad reductora de Fe3+ y actividad antirradicalaria, el extracto de fruto verde fue el más activo (CI50s = 4,99 μg/mL y 246,80 μg/mL, DPPH y ABTS, respectivamente). Se demostró la actividad antiinflamatoria de los extractos con porcentajes de inhibición superiores al 50% utilizando la indometacina como fármaco de referencia.

Conclusiones: Los resultados brindan los primeros hallazgos del potencial fitoquímico y bioactivo de la especie M. coriacea que crece en Ecuador.
