Dalbergiphenol shows antiosteoporotic activity, dalbergiphenol treatment can effectively prevent OVX-induced increase in bone loss and decrease in bone strength possibly by increasing osteoblastic activities and by decreasing osteoclastic activities. |

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2014 Jun 15;24(12):2664-8. | Neoflavonoids as potential osteogenic agents from Dalbergia sissoo heartwood.[Pubmed: 24803361 ] | The present study was undertaken to investigate and rationalize the in vitro antiosteoporotic activity of neoflavonoids, isolated from Dalbergia sissoo heartwood.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Neoflavonoids were isolated using extensive column chromatography and identified as dalsissooal (1) a new compound and cearoin (2), dalbergin (3), 4-methoxy dalbergion (4), Dalbergiphenol (5), dalbergichromene (6), methyl dalbergin (7) and latinone (8) as known compounds by comparison their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature.
CONCLUSIONS:
Among the screened compounds, compounds 1, 3, 5-8 significantly increased proliferation as assessed by alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization in calvarial osteoblast cells. |

Menopause. 2015 Nov;22(11):1246-55. | Neoflavonoid dalbergiphenol from heartwood of Dalbergia sissoo acts as bone savior in an estrogen withdrawal model for osteoporosis.[Pubmed: 25850356] | Dalbergiphenol (DGP) is a neoflavonoid isolated from heartwood of Dalbergia sissoo. Effects of DGP on skeletal health remain to be elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS: The objective of the present study was to investigate the biological effects of DGP on bone loss in ovariectomized mice.OVX resulted in a marked increase in body weight and a decrease in femoral and vertebral trabecular bone volume that were prevented by DGP or E2 treatment. DGP treatment increased bone biomechanical strength and new bone formation rate in ovariectomized mice, comparable with E2 treatment. However, increase in uterine weight and estrogenicity were observed in E2-treated ovariectomized mice, but not in response to DGP treatment. Treatment with DGP increased messenger RNA expression of runt-related transcription factor 2, osterix, and collagen type I, and decreased messenger RNA expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and the osteoprotegerin-to-receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand ratio in the femur of ovariectomized mice. CONCLUSIONS: Overall findings suggest that DGP treatment can effectively prevent OVX-induced increase in bone loss and decrease in bone strength possibly by increasing osteoblastic activities and by decreasing osteoclastic activities. |
