The Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics of Rhein and Aurantio-Obtusin
Curr Drug Metab 2020;21(12):960-968.PMID:32682364DOI:10.2174/1389200221666200719002128.
Background: Anthraquinones, rhein and aurantio-obtusin were isolated from the herb Duhaldea nervosa for the first time by our group, which were also found in plants that belong to the plant family Compositae. Anthraquinone compounds have a range of pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antioxidation, anti-diabetes, etc. and can be used as a laxative, for liver protection, treatment of chronic renal failure, etc. However, in recent years, anthraquinones have been reported to be cytotoxic to the liver and kidneys. Therefore, it is very important to study the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of rhein and aurantio-obtusin, which are common ingredients in many traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). According to our research, the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of rhein and aurantio-obtusin are comprehensively summarized in the paper for the first time. Objective: The study provides comprehensive information on pharmacokinetics and metabolism of rhein and aurantio- Obtusin in different Species; meanwhile, the aim of this review is also to provide a reference for a reasonable application of TCM enriched with these two ingredients. Methods: The metabolism and pharmacokinetics of rhein and aurantio-obtusin were searched by the Web of Science, PubMed, Google scholar and some Chinese literature databases. Results: Rhein and aurantio-obtusin exist mainly in the form of metabolites in the body. Rhein and aurantio-obtusin and its metabolites might be responsible for pharmacological effects in the body. Therefore, the significance of studying the in vivo metabolites of rhein and aurantio-obtusin is not only essential to clarify their pharmacological mechanism, but also to find new active compound ingredients. The metabolism of rhein is different in different species, so the toxicity effects of rhein may also be different after oral administration in different species; however, the metabolic profiles of aurantio-obtusin in the liver microsomes of different species are similar. Conclusion: This paper not only provides detail regarding the pharmacokinetics of rhein and aurantio-obtusin, but it is anticipated that it will also facilitate further study on the metabolism of rhein and aurantio-obtusin.
Aurantio-obtusin, an anthraquinone from cassiae semen, ameliorates lung inflammatory responses
Phytother Res 2018 Aug;32(8):1537-1545.PMID:29675883DOI:10.1002/ptr.6082.
The purpose of the present study is to find the natural compound(s) having a therapeutic potential to treat lung inflammatory disorders. In our screening procedure, the methanol extract of the seeds of Cassia obtusifolia (cassiae semen) inhibited inducible nitric oxide synthase-catalyzed nitric oxide production in alveolar macrophages (MH-S). From the extract, 8 major anthraquinone derivatives were successfully isolated. They are chrysophanol, physcion, 2-hydroxy-emodin 1-methyl ether, obtusifolin, Obtusin, aurantio-obtusin, chryso-obtusin, and gluco-obtusifolin, among which aurantio-obtusin (IC50 = 71.7 μM) showed significant inhibitory action on nitric oxide production from lipopolysaccharide-treated MH-S cells, mainly by downregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. This down-regulatory action of aurantio-obtusin was mediated at least in part via interrupting c-Jun N-terminal kinase/IκB kinase/nuclear transcription factor-κB pathways. Aurantio-obtusin also inhibited IL-6 production in IL-1β-treated lung epithelial cells, A549. Importantly, this compound (10 and 100 mg/kg) by oral administration attenuated lung inflammatory responses in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury. Therefore, it is for the first time found that aurantio-obtusin may have a therapeutic potential for treating lung inflammatory diseases.
Simultaneous determination of aurantio-obtusin, chrysoobtusin, Obtusin and 1-desmethylobtusin in rat plasma by UHPLC-MS/MS
Biomed Chromatogr 2014 Mar;28(3):369-74.PMID:24027008DOI:10.1002/bmc.3030.
A sensitive and reliable ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of four active components of Semen Cassiae extract (aurantio-obtusin, chrysoobtusin, Obtusin and 1-desmethylobtusin) in rat plasma after oral administration. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent Poroshell 120 C18 column with gradient elution using a mobile phase that consisted of acetonitrile-ammonium acetate in water (30 mm) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Detection was performed by a triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring mode. The calibration curve was linear over a range of 3.24-1296 ng/mL for aurantio-obtusin, 0.77-618 ng/mL for chrysoobtusin, 34.55-1818 ng/mL for Obtusin and 1.86-1485 ng/mL for 1-desmethylobtusin. Inter- and intra-day assay variation was <15%. All analytes were shown to be stable during all sample storage and analysis procedures.
Mosquito larvicidal activity of Cassia tora seed extract and its key anthraquinones aurantio-obtusin and Obtusin
Parasit Vectors 2017 Nov 10;10(1):562.PMID:29126433DOI:10.1186/s13071-017-2512-y.
Background: The edible and medicinal leguminous plant Cassia tora L. (Fabaceae) is known to possess insecticidal properties against a wide range of plant-feeding insects. However, the bioactivity of extracts of this plant and their constituents against vectors of medical importance has been largely unexplored. We investigated the mosquito larvicidal activity of the seed extract and its major anthraquinones against larvae of the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae (s.s.). Methods: Third-fourth instar larval mortality was observed after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of exposure to varying doses of the extracts, and two anthraquinones isolates identified using liquid chromatography- quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-QtoF-MS). The mosquito larval mortality was evaluated relative to the natural insecticide azadirachtin. Results: Fractionation of the crude extract decreased mosquito larvicidal activity, however, larvicidal activity increased with increasing dose of the treatment and exposure time. The known anthraquinones aurantio-obtusin and Obtusin were identified as key larvicidal compounds. Aurantio-obtusin and Obtusin, exhibited similar toxicity to larvae of A. gambiae (s.s.) with LD50 values of 10 and 10.2 ppm, respectively. However, the two anthraquinones were four- and ~ six-fold less potent than that of the crude seed extract and azadirachtin, which had comparable LD50 values of 2.5 and 1.7 ppm, respectively. Conclusion: Both aurantio-obtusin and Obtusin showed mosquito larvicidal activity which were comparable to their respective fractions although they were less potent relative to the crude extract and azadirachtin. Further studies need to be conducted on C. tora for its exploitation as a potential eco-friendly tool in mosquito larval source reduction.
