摘要:

目的 研究中药墨旱莲活性成分对刀豆蛋白A(ConA)诱导的小鼠肝损伤的作用。方法 以尾静脉注射ConA(15 mg/kg)建立小鼠肝损伤模型,检测墨旱莲提取物对正常小鼠和肝损伤小鼠血清谷丙转氨酶(ALT)的影响,观察肝脏的组织学改变。生物活性跟踪分离得到单体化合物,根据IR谱、13C-NMR谱、1H-NMR谱、1H-13C HMBC谱和1H-13C HMQC谱鉴定其结构。结果 墨旱莲提取物能降低肝损伤小鼠的血清ALT水平,对抗ConA诱导的小鼠肝细胞凋亡。体外筛选的活性化合物经波谱鉴定为蟛蜞菊内酯,属香豆素类化合物,能选择性抑制ConA诱导的T细胞活化,10 μg/mL的蟛蜞菊内酯可完全拮抗ConA的诱导作用。结论 中药墨旱莲具有抗ConA诱导的小鼠肝损伤作用,活性成分蟛蜞菊内酯具有较强的抗炎和抗凋亡作用,是一个潜在的抗炎保肝新药的先导化合物。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the protective effect of active component of Eclipta on hepatic injury induced by Concanavalin A (ConA) in mice. Methods Mouse hepatic injury models were established by injection of ConA (15 mg/kg) via tail vein. The effect of Eclipta extracts on serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and liver histology in both normal mice and hepatic injury mice was examined. A pure compound was obtained by means of bioactivity-guided isolation, and IR, 13C-NMR, 1H-NMR, 1H-13C HMBC and 1H-13C HMQC were used for structural identification. Results Eclipta extracts decreased serum ALT in hepatic injury mice induced by ConA, and demonstrated anti-apoptosis effect induced by ConA in hepatocytes. Wedelolactone, a coumarin, was isolated from Eclipta, and its structure was identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Wedelolactone inhibited ConA-induced T cell proliferation selectively, and completely antagonized the effect of ConA at the concentration of 10 μg/mL. Conclusion Eclipta herb has hepatoprotective effect. Wedelolactone, the anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis active component of Eclipta, might serve as a lead compound for developing new antiinflammatory drugs.
