METHODS AND RESULTS:
Ethanolic extract of the seeds of Plantago asiatica L. showed significant inhibitory activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) determined by monitoring the transformation from a substrate hippuryl-histidyl-leucine (HHL) to the product hippuric acid (HA) in vitro using an UPLC-MS method. The bioguided fractionation of the extract resulted in the isolation of four ACE inhibitory active phenylpropanoid glycosides acteoside, isoacteoside, Plantainoside D, and plantamajoside with IC(50) values of 2.69 mM, 2.46 mM, 2.17 mM, and 2.47 mM, respectively. Their structures were elucidated through the analysis of NMR, UV, IR and MS data.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our study is the first demonstration that Plantago asiatica L. and its major constituents have ACE inhibitory activity in vitro. It is assumed that the identified compounds contribute to the angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitory activity of the extract. | | Life Sci. 2007 Jan 2;80(4):314-23. | | Plantainoside D protects adriamycin-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cardiac muscle cells via the inhibition of ROS generation and NF-kappaB activation.[Pubmed: 17034819 ] | Plantainoside D (PD), was isolated from the leaves of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora (Scrophulariaceae). The anti-oxidative activity of PD was evaluated based on scavenging effects on hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radicals. Adriamycin (ADR) is a potent anti-tumor drug known to cause severe cardiotoxicity. Although ADR generates free radicals, the role of free radicals in the development of cardiac toxicity has not been understood.
This study was undertaken to investigate the protective effect of PD against ADR-induced apoptosis.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In vitro, ADR caused dose-dependent toxicity in H9c2 cardiac muscle cells. Pre-treatment of the cardiac muscle cells with PD significantly reduced ADR-induced apoptosis of cardiac muscle cells. PD inhibited the ROS produced by ADR in the cardiac muscle cells. As well, PD increased GSH(glutathione), compared with ADR. In response to ADR, NF-kappaB was activated in H9c2 cells. However the treatment of PD reduced the activation of NF-kappaB. We also observed that the NF-kappaB inhibitor, PDTC, inhibited the cytotoxic effect on ADR-induced apoptosis in cardiac muscle cells. In parallel, IkappaBalpha-dominant negative plasmid-overexpression abrogated ADR-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cardiac muscle cells.
CONCLUSIONS:
In conclusion, these results suggest that Plantaionoside D can inhibit ADR-induced apoptosis in H9C2 cardiac muscle cells via inhibition of ROS generation and NF-kappaB activation. The pure compound PD can be a potential candidate agent which protects cardiotoxicity in ADR-exposed patients. |
