  11. Scrophularia buergeriana • 4-O-E-p-Methoxycinnamoyl--L-rhamnopyranoside ester (1) and p-methoxycinnamic acid(3) significantly blocked the release of GPT at 1 M and 5 M. • Cinnamaldehyde (8) and acetophenones (13-18) showed very little activity  ,-unsaturated carboxy moiety is important to exhibit hepatoprotective activity. • Compounds with aromatic p-methoxy group linked to ,-unsaturated carboxy moiety showed stronger activity than either unsubstituted or p-hydroxy substituted compounds (2,7,9)

  13. Scrophularia buergeriana • 4-O-E-p-Methoxycinnamoyl--L-rhamnopyranoside ester (1),p-methoxycinnamic acid(3), and isoferulic acid (11) significantly preserved the level of total glutathione (GSH) and prevented the decrease in GSH level by CCl4 at a concentration of 5 M. • Glutathione (GSH) participates in the reductive processes that are essential for the protection of cells through quenching the reactive intermediates and the radicals generated during oxidative toxicity caused by CCl4.

  14.

  15. Scrophularia buergeriana • 4-O-E-p-Methoxycinnamoyl--L-rhamnopyranoside ester (1),p-methoxycinnamic acid(3), and isoferulic acid (11) significantly preserved the activity of glutathione disulfide reductase (GR), but exerted little effect on glutathione peroxidase (GPx). • The hepatic glutathione–S-transferase (GST) activity was significantly preserved by the treatment with compounds 1,3, and 11. • GST is a soluble cytosolic enzyme responsible to the detoxification of xenobiotics.

  16. Scrophularia buergeriana • 4-O-E-p-Methoxycinnamoyl--L-rhamnopyranoside ester (1), p-methoxycinnamic acid(3) and isoferulic acid(11) showed substantial and almost equal hepatoprotective activity to silybin at a concentration 10 ~ 50 times lower. • The hepatoprotective activities of these three phenyl-propanoids are likely to be attributed to the maintenance of the GSH redox system in CCl4-injured rat hepatocytes. • The phenylpropanoids of S. buergeriana might be of significant therapeutic value in the prevention of hepatic diseases.

  17. Cynanchum wilfordii • Parts used : Roots • Traditional uses : Tonic, scrofula, and cold knee • Description : Glabrous, scandent, perennial herb, 1-3 m tall. Leaves opposite, deltoid. • Chemical components : Sarcostine, deacylcynanchogennin- deacylmetaplexigenin-cymarosides, wilforine, cynamoyl-tigloylsarcostine Cynanchum wilfordii (Max.) Hemsl.

  19. Cynanchum wilfordii • Cynandione A significantly decreased the levels of glutamic pyruvic tranaminase (GPT) and sorbitol dehydrogenase released to the culture medium, and the effect was most potent at a concentration of 50 M.

O H O C H 3 O H O C H 3 O H H O Cynanchum wilfordii Effect of cynandione A on glutathione levels in primary cultures of CCl4-injured rat hepatocytes Total glutathione ( nmol (mg protein)-1 ) Reduced glutathione ( nmol (mg protein)-1 ) Glutathione disulphide / total glutathione Group 0.27  0.01 19.3  1.4 14.0  0.8 Control 0.48  0.02 4.7  0.1 2.5  0.1 CCl4-treated 0.28  0.05 ** 10.6  2.7 * 7.7  0.2 CCl4 + cynandione A

  21. Cynanchum wilfordii • Cynandione A(50 M) significantly preserved levels of total glutathione and prevented the decrease in glutathione levels caused by CCl4.

O H O C H 3 O H O C H 3 O H H O Cynanchum wilfordii Effect of cynandione A on hepatic antioxidant enzymes in primary cultures of CCl4-injured rat hepatocytes Glutathione disulphide reductase (mol NADPH oxidised (min-1 (mg protein)-1 ) Catalase (mol H2O2 consumed (min-1 (mg protein)-1 ) Superoxide dismutase (units mL-1) Malondialdehyde (nmol(mg protein)-1 ) Group 2.40  0.3 52.7  4.2 682.7  21.9 27.4  1.8 Control 3.41  0.2 22.2  1.7 312.7  9.2 15.3  1.3 CCl4-treated 2.93  0.3 * 31.4  5.7 563.2  37.9 * 21.3  1.5 ** CCl4 + cynandione A

  23. Cynanchum wilfordii • Cynandione A significantly preserved the activities of the antioxidative enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. • However, it showed only a slight effect on glutathione disulphide reductase (GR) activity. • Cynandione A lowered the level of malondialdehyde significantly.

  24. Cynanchum wilfordii • Cynandione A(50 M) significantly reduced (approximately 50%) the release into the culture medium of glutamic pyruvic transaminase and sorbitol dehydrogenase from the primary cultures of rat hepatocytes exposed to CCl4 . • Cynandione A appeared to protect primary cultured rat hepatocytes exposed to CCl4 from significant drops in the levels of specific markers, such as GSH, SOD, and catalase. Cynandione A protected the hepatocytes from CCl4-injury by maintaining the level of glutathione and by inhibiting the production of malonaldehyde, due to its radical scavenging properties.

  29. Torreya nucifera • Arctigenin significantly attenuated neurotoxicity induced by glutamate in pre-treatment paradigm at concentrations ranging from 100 nM to 1 M. • Arctigenin also showed significant neuroprotective activity when administered immediately or 30 min after glutamate insult at concentrations ranging from 100 nM to 1 M.

  33. Torreya nucifera • Arctigenin protected neurons more selectively against KA-induced than NMDA-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultured cortical cells. • Arctigenin significantly inhibited the binding of [3H]-kainate to its receptor.

  34. Torreya nucifera • Arctigenin significantly attenuated glutamate-induced neurotoxicity when added prior to or after an excitotoxic glutamate challenge. • Arctigenin protected cultured neuronal cells more selectively from neurotoxicity induced by KA than NMDA. • Arctigenin directly scavenged free radicals generated by excess glutamate and reduced the level of cellular peroxide in cultured neurons. The neuroprotective activities of arctigenin are likely to be attributed to the directly binding of KA receptors and partly scavenging of free radicals.

  39. Hedyotis diffusa • Among the flavonoid glycosides, compounds 29,30 showed the strongest neuroprotective activity against glutamate- induced neurotoxicity. This results indicate that the presence of di-OH in the B ring and an acyl moiety might be crucial for the biological response. • Among the iridoid glycosides, compound 25 showed the strongest neuroprotective activity against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity. This results indicate that the p-methoxy group in the aromatic ring and a trans double bond in the acyl moiety play an essential role against glutamate-induced damage.
