pharmacological effects | tripterygium wilfordii, also known as serpentine, is a natural product with a variety of biological activities. it has a strong antioxidant effect, anti-cancer neovascularization effect, anti-rheumatoid effect, mainly from the root bark of Tripterygium wilfordii, a plant of Euonymus family, it is one of the effective ingredients in the treatment of rheumatoid disease tripterygium wilfordii tablets, tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablets and other preparations. the main activity and pharmacological action of triptolide: 1, cytotoxic activity. In vitro, it has strong non-specific cytotoxic activity against P388 and a group of human cancer cell strains. 2, immune regulation. The formation of hemolytic plaque cells in mouse spleen cells was obviously inhibited. Delayed hypersensitivity in mice was significantly inhibited. 3, anti-inflammatory effect. At 0.5 mg/kg, the formation of cotton ball granuloma in rats was significantly inhibited. At 0.1~1.0 μg/mL, the production of PGE2 induced by yeast sugar was inhibited. At 1.0 μg/mL, phagocytosis of macrophages was inhibited. 4, the anti-peroxidation effect of triptolide is 15 times that of tocopherol, and the IC50 is 7 μM. Inhibit peroxidation inside and outside the mitochondrial membrane and directly scavenge free radicals. 5, tripterygium wilfordii can prolong the sleep time of mice induced by pentobarbital sodium. 6, immunosuppressive effect: inhibit the proliferation of spleen cells induced by PHA, ConA, LPS, etc., and inhibit the proliferation of lymphocytes. 7, inhibiting the fertilization ability of guinea pig sperm in vitro, the activity is significantly stronger than gossypol acetate. 8, anti-arthritis effect. Inhibit the activity of interleukin-1 inside and outside mouse peritoneal macrophages, inhibit the production of interleukin-2 by mouse spleen cells, and reduce the release of PGE2 by rabbit synovial cells. |
application field | Tripterygium wilfordii, also known as "broken intestine grass", as the name implies, shows its toxicity. In Mr. Jin Yong's pen, although Tripterygium wilfordii is highly toxic, it can solve the "poison of love flowers" after being tempered by traditional Chinese medicine ". In modern medicine, one of the most important active ingredients of Tripterygium wilfordii, Tripterygium wilfordii, has been found to be used to treat obesity, chronic inflammation and immune diseases. In 2007, triptolide, artemisinin, triptolide, capsaicin and curcumin were listed by Cell as the five natural compounds most likely and most worthy of development as modern drugs. Although high-dose tripterygium has certain cardiotoxicity, low-dose tripterygium has been found to protect the cardiovascular system. Its exact curative effect, internal mechanism and unknown target have attracted the attention of many scientists. |
Scientific research results | Professor Zhang Xiaokun's research group from the School of Pharmacy of Xiamen University published a new achievement in 2017 in Molecular Cell, a sub-issue of the international first-class academic journal Cell, revealing the important targets and mechanisms of tripterygium wilfordii isolated and extracted from the traditional medicinal plant Tripterygium wilfordii in regulating metabolism, and discovering potential treatment methods for obesity. Tripterygium wilfordii is as famous as artemisinin, and is listed by Cell magazine as one of the five traditional natural medicinal compounds most likely to be developed into modern drugs. The recently discovered super weight loss effect of triptolide makes this traditional Chinese medicine ingredient popular all over the world. However, the specific target and molecular mechanism of triptolide are unclear, which has hindered its development into modern drugs. Professor Zhang Xiaokun's research group recently discovered that tripterygium can bind to the orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 in the nucleus, induce a specific mechanism, remove damaged mitochondria, and inhibit inflammation and obesity and other related diseases. The results clearly showed that tripterygium effectively inhibited weight gain in mice fed a high-fat diet. This result determines the specific target and new molecular mechanism of tripterygium action, breaks through the major problems in the process of transforming natural products into modern drugs, and lays a strong foundation for the development of the medicinal value of tripterygium The theoretical foundation is conducive to promoting the development of inflammatory diseases and obesity treatment drugs. The orphan nuclear receptor Nur77, which plays an important role in regulating metabolism, will be a potential drug target for the treatment of obesity. |
