Berberine (BBR) is a promising anti-diabetic isoquinoline alkaloid from Rhizoma coptidis, while its bioavailability was extremely low. Here, the existing form and pharmacokinetics of BBR were comparatively characterized in conventional antibiotic-induced pseudo germ-free (PGF) rats. Furthermore, we investigated antidiabetic effect potential mechanism intestinal oxidative metabolite oxyberberine (OBB) STZ-induced diabetic Results showed that OBB existed mainly as protein-bound blood,...

Andrographolide sodium bisulfate (ASB), a water-soluble form made from andrographolide through sulfonating reaction, is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug; however, the antiphotoaging effect of ASB has still not been revealed. Oxidative stress inflammation are known to be responsible for ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induced skin damage consequently premature aging. In this study, we aimed at examining on UV-induced photoaging mice by physiological histological analysis examination...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing disease without satisfactory treatments, in which intestinal inflammation and disrupted epithelial barrier are two main pathogeneses triggering UC. Berberrubine (BB) deemed as one of the major active metabolite berberine (BBR), naturally-occurring isoquinoline alkaloid with appreciable anti-UC effect. This study aimed to comparatively investigate therapeutic effects BB BBR on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse model, explore potential...

Millettiae speciosae Champ. Leguminosae (MSC), is a well-known Chinese herb traditionally used as food material and medicine for enhancing physical strength. Our preliminary study found that the aqueous extract of this (MSE) had an anti-fatigue effect. In paper, we further separated MSE into total polysaccharides (MSP) supernatant (MSS) by alcohol precipitation, explored which fraction was active its Mice were orally administered with MSP or MSS at doses 200, 400, 800 mg/kg 20 days effect...

Bruceine D (BD) is a major bioactive component isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Brucea javanica which has been widely utilized to treat dysentery (also known as ulcerative colitis [UC]).To improve water solubility and absolute bioavailability of BD, we developed self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) composing MCT (oil), Solutol HS-15 (surfactant), propylene glycol (co-surfactant) BD. The physicochemical properties pharmacokinetics BD-SNEDDS were...

Silymarin has been used in the treatment of a number liver diseases for long time, but its efficacy preventing triptolide induced acute hepatotoxicity not reported previously. The present study aimed to assess protective effect silymarin against (TP)-induced rats. Rats were orally administrated with (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) 7 days received intraperitoneal TP (2 on day 8. Hepatic injuries comprehensively evaluated terms serum parameters, morphological changes, oxidative damage, inflammation...

Berberine (BBR) is an active component of Phellodendri Cortex (PC), which a traditional Chinese medicine that has been prescribed clinically for hyperuricemia (HUA) hundreds years. Many studies reported the anti-inflammatory and nephroprotective properties BBR PC; however, therapeutic effects on HUA have not explored. This study aims to investigate efficacy mechanism treating HUA.The in treatment were predicted by network pharmacology. A mouse model established potassium oxonate hypoxanthine...

As a tropical medicinal plant, Sonneratia apetala is mainly distributed in the southeast coastal areas of China. Recently, hypouricemic effect leaves and branches (SAL) has been reported, but active compound its mechanism are unclear. Thus, this study aims to explore effective fraction SAL on uric acid formation excretion. was extracted with ethyl acetate concentrated obtain solvent-free extracts (SAL-EA). The remains (SAL-E) supernatant (SAL-S) resulting from water extraction alcohol...
