Suppression of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory responses in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages by aqueous extract of Clinopodium vulgare L. (Lamiaceae)

Ethnopharmacological relevance

The wild basil Clinopodium vulgare L. is commonly used in Bulgarian folk medicine for treatment of irritated skin, mastitis- and prostatitis-related swelling, as well as for some disorders accompanied with significant degree of inflammation (e.g. gastric ulcers, diabetes, and cancer).

Aim of study

To determine the effect of aqueous extract of Clinopodium vulgare L. on LPS-induced inflammatory responses of murine RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Materials and methods

Cell cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay. Protein expression levels were monitored by Western blot analysis. Production of NO and PGE₂ was measured by the Griess colorimetric method and enzyme immunoassay, respectively. Activation of MMP-9 was visualized by gelatin zymography. Cytokine levels were determined by BioPlex assay. Intracellular ROS and free radical scavenging potential were measured by DCFH-DA and DPPH method, respectively. Xanthine oxidase activity was evaluated spectrophotometrically.

Results

The extract suppresses NF-κB activation by preventing Iκ-B phosphorylation and inhibits the phosphorylation of p38 and SAPK/JNK MAPKs. It down-regulates iNOS expression which manifests as a drastic decrease of NO production, inhibits MMP-9 activation, but does not affect COX-2 protein levels and reduces only slightly the released PGE₂. Secretion of IL-1β and Il-10 is greatly reduced, whereas suppression of TNF-α and GM-CSF production is less dramatic. The extract has strong free radical scavenging properties and exerts inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase activity, which lowers the levels of intracellular ROS.

Conclusion

The study provides evidence for the anti-inflammatory potential of Clinopodium vulgare L. aqueous extract.     

荞麦花叶黄酮对2型糖尿病大鼠胰岛素抵抗及肝组织PTP1B的影响

目的:探讨荞麦花叶黄酮(FBFL)对2型糖尿病大鼠降血糖、改善胰岛素抵抗的作用及其机制.方法:雄性健康Wistar大鼠70只,随机抽取10只作为正常对照组,其余60只大鼠每天灌胃脂肪乳,第14天开始腹腔注射小剂量四氧嘧啶,隔日1次,共3次,同时继续灌胃脂肪乳.末次腹腔注射四氧嘧啶72 h后,用血糖仪测定空腹血糖和用K_(IPT)值判定胰岛素抵抗性.K_(IPT)＜正常组的60%作为2型糖尿病胰岛素抵抗大鼠.将成模大鼠随机分为模型组,阳性药物组,FBFL低、中、高剂量组,连续4周.末次给药后禁食,用血糖仪测空腹血糖(FBG),用正糖钳技术判定胰岛素抵抗性,用生化分析仪测定游离脂肪酸(FFA),放免法测定血浆胰岛素(INS),免疫组织化学法检测肝组织蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶1B(PTP1B)表达.结果:与正常组比较,模型组大鼠FBG,INS,FFA含量明显升高(P＜0.135,P＜0.01);大鼠葡萄糖输注速率(GIR)明显下降;肝组织PTP1B表达增加.各剂量FBFL能不同程度的改善上述指标的变化,明显改善胰岛素抵抗性,增加胰岛素敏感性,使肝组织PTP1B表达下调,并呈一定剂量依赖性.结论:FBFL对四氧嘧啶加脂肪乳所致2型糖尿病大鼠胰岛素抵抗具有明显的改善作用,并呈一定剂量依赖性.

Flavocoxid is as effective as naproxen for managing the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee in humans: a short-term randomized,double-blind pilot study

Flavocoxid (Limbrel), a proprietary mixture of flavonoid molecules (baicalin and catechin), was tested against a traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, naproxen, for the management of the signs and symptoms of moderate osteoarthritis (OA) in humans. Discomfort and global disease activity were used as the primary end points, and safety assessments were also taken for both treatments as a secondary endpoint. In this double-blind study, 103 subjects were randomly assigned to receive either flavocoxid [500 mg twice daily (BID)] or naproxen (500 mg BID) in a 1-month onset of action trial. Outcome measures included the short Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index, subject Visual Analogue Scale for discomfort and global response, and investigator Visual Analogue Scale for global response and fecal occult blood. Both flavocoxid and naproxen showed significant reduction in the signs and symptoms of knee OA (P ≤ .001). There were no statistically detectable differences between the flavocoxid and naproxen groups with respect to any of the outcome variables. Similarly, there were no statistically detectable differences between the groups with respect to any adverse event, although there was a trend toward a higher incidence of edema and nonspecific musculoskeletal discomfort in the naproxen group. In this short-term pilot study, flavocoxid was as effective as naproxen in controlling the signs and symptoms of OA of the knee and would present a safe and effective option for those individuals on traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors. A low incidence of adverse events was reported for both groups.
